Not Agreed On Gems Hidden in Imitation Jewels
Washington jewelers debate imitation versus real pearls and rubies in wealthy women’s ornaments.

Seek Dr Rixey Reappointment Amid Navy Medical Corps Contest
Officers of the Medical Corps push for the surgeon general post as Presley M Rixey nears retirement. Rixey has served nearly eight years and holds rear admiral pay, though he ranks fourteenth among doctor captains. Many contenders include medical inspectors with commander rank and lieutenant commanders. The campaigning within the Navy centers on age limits, retirement rules, and endorsements from senior officials and lawmakers. A Taft-advised campaign angle is noted, with several named candidates and supporters cited. A separate joint board was appointed to select a site for a Philippines reserve magazine, listing senior naval officers and construction plans for vessels and yard placements.
