UST how much will this city stand from its J present Administration? With people being murdered at the rate of one a day, with thugs and thieves working at all hours, with citizens in constant peril on the streets, at their places of business and in their homes, the police sallied forth last night to stop the terrible menace of women smoking in public places—under an ordinance that does not exist! An error, Commissioner Enright explains this morning, rescinding the order. By some bungle a proposed ordinance that the Aldermen never passed was apparently sent to Police Headquarters as a bona-fide law. al " That doesn’t explain Enright. ® It doesn’t explain this amazing police energy fevailable for extinguishing cigarettes at a time when the city is being terrorized by burglars, gun- men and highway robbers.

EMOCRATS led by Senator Simmons, are re- ported to be urging early action on the Bonus Bill. THD EVENING WORLD, ployers are released. Their meeting furnishes a reasonable answer, The Evening World was strongly opposed to leniency to convicted employers, but it must be admitted that the employers at least went through the motions of clearing their houses and shaking their skirts. This the Brindell union has refused to do, Its defiant attitude in the test case Mr. Unter- myer presented Sunday should keep Brindell in jail until the end of his term. It should mean new prosecution on other counts when his term expires. It should also induce strong public support of the rival Building Trades Council recently author- ized by the A. F. of L. and a war to the end on every remaining vestige of Brindellism. AT LAST? HERE is a feeling in Washington that the Harding Administration is nerving itself for something. That something is believed to be nothing less than announcement that the moment has arrived when it becomes the duty of the United States to mingle in the affairs of Europe. In fact it's more than duty. It's business. In selecting for the United States the rights, privileges, benefits, &c., conveniently available in the Treaty of Versailles, the separate Treaty of Peace between the United States of America and the German Republic declared it “understood and agreed” (Article II., Sec. 4): That, while the United States 1s privileged to participate in the Reparation Commission, according to the terms of part 8 of that treaty (Versailles), and in any other commission established under the treaty or under any agreement supplemental thereto, the United States is not bound to participate in any such commission unless it shall elect to do so. Having elected to stay enough out of the Rep- aration Commission to escape any of the responsi- bilities thereof, the United States can, of course, now elect to go enough into the Reparation Com- mission to demand benefits and collect bills. Dunning letters from Washington do not seem to secure the prompt remittance of that little mat- ter of $241,000,000 due for American army ex- penses on the Rhine. Also the United States and some of its nationals are getting anxious and impatient about other money claims against Germany. We ought to be on the ground. If the matter can be presented to Congress in this light, dread of European entanglements may a Sn ene PUZSDAY, MARCH 4a, 1999. Try-On” ee ear re haenreeeiat By Cassel ae AR ene Saas i Vill--HOW THE KIMBERLEY DIAMOND FIELD WAs DI6- COVERED. “Here be diamonds,’ scrawled :an English missionary to the Griquas, in South Africa, on the margin of @ rough map which he had drawn back in 1750. Then the mtfcc‘onary died, and those who saw the map tapped their foreheads significantly. Yet, in the locality indicated on the map, more than a century later, & little Boer boy picked up @ shining pebble that was destined to change the course of history and precipitate (} @ war. The boy showed the pebble to his mother, and his mother told him— in Dutch—not to bother her. Then he showed it to a neighboring farme! The farmer took a fancy to the sparkling pebble, He offered to buy it. But the Boer housewife—bless hi heart—wouldn't hear of taking money for a pebble, So she just told the neighbor to put it in his pocket if he liked it so much as all that, An®& Meinheer Van Niekerk slipped it into his pocket. On the theory that there might ibe some value where there was so much glitter, Van Niekerk handed the, pebble to an Irish trader by the name of O'Reilly. “What do you think of that?” he asked O'Reilly in his best Dutch-Eng~ lish. “I'll find out,” responded the cautious O'Reilly. And he turned th over to a Commissioner named Boyce, “It cuts glass; it might be a diaw mond," observed the Commissioner” confidentially. “You're crazy,"* quote the locals. chemist, who ran what we call a drug * store. “lt might be a topaz; but @ diamond—never!"* He was so sure of himself that "J bet Boyce a brand new hat the stoi would prove to be no more valuablé than a topaz—tf {t proved to be thats To settle the matter, they decidedr to send the pebble to the mineralogiat | at Cape Colony. ‘To save post they mailed it in an unsealed eng velope. ‘ The mineralogist's reply caused H unsuspecting Niekerk, the inquirt O'Rellly, the doubting Boyce and thi unbelieving apothecary to start.
