RARE MAGOK RUBY MAY LACK BUYER Era of Diminishing Thrones Has Small Use for Huge Gems. BY BESS FURMAN, Assoclated Press Stafl Writer. Be it ever 5o rare, the 100-carat ruby | ust reported found in Magok, Upper | Burma, meets no especially bright | Suture in this era of few thrones. Such, at least, is the erudite judg-| ment of Dr. W. F. Foshag, Smithsonian expert on gems, who even hazarded an | opinion the huge ruby may have to be cut up into smaller stones—the fate of the world's two largest flawless dia- monds. For who wants a tiara tip or a set for | & scepter nowadays? | With all remaining monarchs well stocked in spectacular stones, and the | jewels of several ousted monarchs lying | public_treasuries, unsoldy the buyer for a really rare jewel has become even rarer than the stone.

PRINCETON, N. J., October 30 (#).— From Princeton, estranged from Har- vard in athletics, come three cheers for Harvard _and_down with Yale, so to speak. The Princeton alumni_ weekly heartily approve the refusal of Harvard to permit Rudy Vallee, who went to Yale, to croon “Fair Harvard” over the radio or to permit Buddy Rogers to lead the Harvard Band for the movies. has been made of the greatest rubies, Dr. Foshag said, as they have been held principally by East Indian Princes, far m_the beaten track of jewel cata- “at Home for a Bad Cough You'll be pleasantly surpris when you make up this simple home mixture and try it for a distressing cough or chest cold. 1t takes but a moment to mix and costs little, but it can be depended upon to give quick and lasting relief 5 Get 2% ounces of Pinex from any druggist. Pour this into a pint bottle; then fill it with plain anulated sugar syrup or strained oney. The full pint thus made costs no more than a small bottle of ready-made medicine, yet it is much more effective. It is pure, keeps perfectly and children love its pleasant taste. This simple remedy has a remark- able three-fold action. It goes right to the seat of trouble, loosens the germ-laden phlegm, and soothes away the inflammation. Part of the medicine is absorbed into the blood, where it acts directly upon the bronchial tubes and thus helps in- wardly to throw off the whole trou. ble with surprising ease. Pinex is a highly concentrated compound of genuine Norway Pine, containing the active agent of creo- sote, in a refined, palatable form. and known as one of the great- est healing agents for severe % coughs, chest colds and bron- chial troubles. Do not accept a substitute for Pinex. It is guaranteed to give prompt relief or money refund b2 ers. But the Rangoon dispatches ranking the new ruby among the world’s most glnceless gems may well be true, Dr. 'oshag said, as even a 10-carat Ruby, flawless and of the coveted pigeon- blood red, is most unusual. Like the Cullinan and the Excelsior diamonds, however, it came to light a few centuries too late to blaze a trail of intrigue like that of lesser earlier stones, Up to 1882, not more than 100 dia- monds more than 30 carats in weight ‘were known to exist—50 in Europe, the Test principally in Persia and India. Each Prince Had Own Pride. Each prince had his special pride. Russia boasted the Orloff, 193 carats, chief ornament in the imperial scepter, said in dim past ages to have been the eye of an Indian idol. France was proud of the Regent, 13634 carats, most conspicuous gem in a disused crown. England had its Koh-I-Nur, 186 carats, & stone that had passed from prince to prince for six centuries. Big Diamonds Go Begging. ‘But when big diamonds that were big begun to come out of Brazil, and the Orange Free State in the later 90's, they went begging. Greatest of all time was the Cullinan, 3,024 carats, almost two pounds, flawless and of the finest blue water. It waited until 1905 to be cut up into large stones, one for the scepter of the British King, another for the Queen’s crown, and seven others that were scattered. The Ex- celsior, second largest gem diamond, found in 1893, waited 10 years for a buyer, and then was chopped into 21 brilliants. Only the Jubilee, 239 carats, found in 1895, remained intact, happily fitting into the 1897 Jubilee Celebration of Queen Victoria.

STAR, WASHINGTON, SEES $10,000,000 LOSS IN CANADIAN WHEAT POOL Premier Bracken of Manitoba Says Figure May Be Even Greater Unless Prices Improve. By the Assoclated Press. WINNIPEG, Manitoba, October 30.— Premier John Bracken of Manitoba yesterday said that unless wheat prices improve losses to the western govern- ments in the Canadian wheat pool guarantee may exceed $10,000,000. The governments of Manitoba, Sas- katchewan and Alberta guaranteed bank payments to the pool in financing the 1929 crop. In discussing the $10,000,000 figure, Premier Bracken sald, “One cannot say positively until the crop is sold, unless, however, the prices improve, the losses probably will be greater than the fig- ure quoted.” REGINA, Saskatchewan, October 30 | (P)—“The’ statement is not, correct,” | said Premier Anderson Tuesday when | shown a dispatch quoting Premier John | Bracken of Manitoba as saying that | unless wheat prices improved the losses | to western provinces involved in wheat | pool guarantees would exceed $10,- 000,000.
