Sales of
Fake Jewels
Increasing
By GAY PAULEY
United Press Correspondent
New York U.R) They say
diamonds are a girl's best friend.
But today, more women than
ever before are choosing the
companionship of costume jew
elry. .Even Mrs. Dwight D. Eisen
hower frequently wears the fake
. . . she wore specially -designed j
costume jewelry for both the
1953 and 1957 inaugural bails.
The costume jewelry industry
naturally loves Mrs. Eisenhower
for this boost, but is making no
guesses on how much it will in
crease sales. "Naturally this im
presses women," said Louis F.
Krussman, vice-president of Tri-
fari, the firm which made her
inaugural glitter. "... she alert
ed the fashion world to the im
portance and versatility of cos
tume jewelry."
One manufacturer figures the
housewife also should be alerted.
Within a few months, his firm
will introduce a line of costume
jewelry in supermarket chains.
Growing Demand
Actually, costume jewelry
sales have been increasing stead
ily since World War II, said Ar
thur Winslow of the American
National Jewelers' association,
representing 5,000 jewelers.
"The costume, or filled and
novelty, jewelry has become the
bread and butter of the indus
try," he said.
The Jewelry Industry council,
representing manufacturers in
both the real and costume fields,
said the latter makes up 13 and
one-half per cent of all sales, in
cluding every type of "jewelry"
from diamond necklaces to sil
ver flatware. It estimated annual
costume jewelry sales now at
$231 million. In 1948 it was $196
million.
It isn't that woman's desire
for diamonds and other precious
jewelry is decreasing. Those who
can afford to, own the real. But
Winslow said that even these
women supplement the genuine
with the costume stuff . . . they
build a jewelry wardrobe.
"Necklaces and earrings for
daytime . . . another set for eve
ning," he explained. "Or jewel
ry selected for a specific outfit."
Another Accessory
"Women think of costume
jewelry as an accessory, like a
purse or a pair of gloves," said
one manufacturer. "Take the
hottest item on the counters this
spring, those colored crystal
beads. Women hardly buy them
as heirlooms." -
Yet, some costume jewelry is
in a price range to make it of
heirloom caliber. A spinel neck
lace from Du Jay, Inc., may cost
as much as $500.
"The set which we used to call
the carriage trade still has the
same tastes," said Jacques Leff,
president of DuJay, which makes
the synthetic, diamond-like
stones into necklaces, bracelets,
pins and earrings. "But in these
days of high taxes, who can af
ford the real thing?
"Opening nights around Man
hattan, I can spot as many
spinels as diamonds."

sultant for a Flemington, N. J.

Mrs. Lester Adams spoke on
the functions and operations of
the Oregon legislature for a
meeting yesterday of Jackson
County Republican Women.
Mrs. Adams, a vice president of
the organization, has spent con
siderable time as an observer
during legislative sessions.
Mrs. Adams reviewed the
structure of the two Houses, re
minding her listeners that the
House of Representatives has 60
members, and the Senate 30.
The former are elected for two
years and serve but one session
unless re-elected; senators are el
ected for four years and serve
two sessions, with 15 named at
each election so that there are
always 15 "senior senators."
The speaker reviewed briefly
how each House is organized,
and how the president of the
Senate and the speaker of the
Lower House are elected. These
officers then announce commit
tee members, already selected.
The various clerks, extremely
important to the operation of
both sections of the legislature
are elected as soon as the two
Houses are organized, she stat
ed. "
She stressed that the presid
ing officers of the two Houses
must rule on all parliamentary
matters, and that these some
times become "incredibly con
fusing."
Mrs. Adams outlined the var
ious committees of the two divi-
sions of the legislature, saying
there are 19 standing commit
tees in the House, and 20 in the
Senate. Special committees may
be appointed; standing commit
tees may have interim sessions,
special committees may not,
Each committee has a confer
ence room, and a clerk assign
ed to it to keep the committee s
records. Scheduling of these
committee sessions is complicat
ed, she said, since each legisla
tor serves on a number of com
mittees.
Rules Important
Many believe that the rules
and resolutions committee is the
most important of all, Mrs. Ad
ams said, since this committee
makes the rules governing pro
cedures and in addition has the
privilege of setting the deadline
for the indiscriminate introduc
tions of bills. This session the
House has set the 25th day, and
the Senate the 35th day as dead
lines, she said; after that all
bills must be screened by the
rules committee and only those
considered important are per
mitted introduction
The ways and means and the
tax committee are also ranked
high in importance, the speak
er said, and the two must work
closely together. Other commit
tees are agriculture, alcoholic
control, commerce and utilities,
education, elections, financial in
stitutions, fish and game, foods
and dairying, forestry and min
ing, highways, judiciary, labor
and management, local govern
ment, military affairs, public
health and welfare, state and
federal affairs.
Mrs. Adams listed the various
types of legislative measures
which are: Bills, joint resolu
tions, concurrent resolutions
joint memorials, resolutions and
memorials. Bills may create a
new law, amend an existing law
or repeal an existing law. The
joint resolution is used to pro
pose a constitutional amendment,
to create interim committees,
give directions to a state agency
or officer and express legislative
approval.
Concurrent resolutions are
used only for matters affecting
the operations and procedures of
the legislative assembly; the
joint memorial is ordinarily
used to make a request upon
or ane xpression of opinion to
the Congress or the president.
Resolutions are used by each
house to take action affecting its
own concerns, and memorials
are used-separately by each
tfcdy. '
The speaker explained the
drafting of bills, their introduc
tion, how the dates of becom
ing effective are determined and
.traced the course of an imagin
ary bill through the legislature.
After the introduction of a bill
and the first and second read
ings, it then goes to the proper
committee for consideration.
Most bills are reported out of
committee promptly, she said,
with a "do pass" or the reverse,
and then they are passed by the
house of origin, then go to the
other for consideration.
Mrs. Adams explained how
many bills dies in committee,
and how bills may be forced out
of committee by a two-thirds
vote of the House or Senate. She
also explained hearings held on
bills, how bills may be amend
ed and how the course of a bill's
passage may be delayed for long
periods by hearings, confer
ences, proposed amendments,
etc.
Mrs. Adams closed her talk
by explaining the procedures of
signing or vetoing of bills by
the governor, how they may be
passed over a veto, and how
they may be referred.
Mrs. Billie Blackstone, a vice
president, presided and an
nounced that Republican Wom
en are setting up a library for
the use of members. Mrs. Thom
as H. Ness will serve as librar
ian. Mrs. G. Q. D'Albini announced
that the annual Lincoln banquet
will be held Wednesday, Febru
ary 20, at 7 p.m., in the Pioneer
room of the Jackson hotel.
