The fact is that dia- monds, cut and polished as we know them, were unknown prior to about 1476, when this method of bringing out their b&b was discovered, ee fips One of the most valuable diamonds‘in the world is the Regent or Pitt stone, found in India by a slave and sold to an English sea captain for a small sum in 1701. The following year it was bought by Mr. Pitt, governor of Madras, for about $100,000. Fifteen years later Pitt sold it to the regent Duke of Orleans for Louis XV of France for $648,000. It subsequently adorned the hilt of the sword worn by Napoleon I, and is now preserved among the national jewels of France. Its present value is esti- mated at more than $2,000,000. Among other diamonds of great value and interesting history are the Orloff, which was set in the scepter of the Czar of Russia, having been purchased by Count Orloff for the Empress Catherine in 1772; Kot-i-tioor, which an East Indian legend declares was worn by a native hero ,000 years ago, and which now belongs to e Brifis! Ri diamond ever found was the Cullinan, discovered in South Africa in 1905, weighing 3,024 carats, or more than a pound and a quarter. It was presented to King Edward and cut up, being now among the crown jewels in the Tower of London.

However, there is for this prescription. ~ ' evidence that some of the sit-down strikes have been staged in disregard of express- ed agreements and this is bad for work- ers, whether the violation comes from un- controlled groups or not. We do not hesitate to proclaim our sympathy with the aspiration of labor leaders to improve the condition of labor- ‘ers generally but this does not mean’ a blanket endorsement of any methods adopted. Moreover, we can sympathize with the point made by Mr. Chrysler who argued that it was useless to make an agreement with a union that cannot, con- trol its members and prevent them from unauthorized strikes, Laborers should not fail to under- stand thedogige behind this statement.

Finding five pearls in an oyster must have surprised that New Jersey fisherman as much as if he had found five oysters in a stew. The sit-downers have put the finish- ing touches to one fine old American tradi- tion, that a man can “do what he wants with his own.” A tornado kilis a score of people and the nation is aghast; the automobile kills a hundred a day and everybody” swears that the deaths are “ungvoidableg’. The little mind angers quickly. Think of that the next time you feel like getting “mad,” but when you get mad you can’t think, so you are really in a jamb.
