FOOTBALL DANGER,

The statistics of one large acct
dent insurance company contain some
interesting football reading. In FIVE
years there were As claims paid for
injuries receives in football, as COM
pare with 10 claims paid for tenn
porary disabilities received in play
ing tennis, 20 in golf. SO in skating
a in gymnasiums, II in bowling, 80
in wrestling. 81 in swimming. 216 in
baseball POI in horseback riding
ana p in boxing. About one college
student plays football in this cOun-
try, and the number is constantly in
creasing. Several years ago there
was hue and cry in England against
rowing. as shortening the lives of
the oarsmen and causing many per-
manent injuries. Exhaustive inves-
tigatiCn showed that from a total of
294 Oarsmen. who had rowed in Ok
ford or Cambidge Fights in fOrty-fye
years. 255 were alive, and of these
145 described themselves as benefit
ed. 162 uninjured and of the II who
reported injuries, it was found that
all had gone into races without pre-
lminary training. A similar canvass
of the University OF Pennsylvania
Oarsmen, since 1877, shows that all
but two are alive and in coed health.
and the two deaths were due to ty-
phoid. il no way attributable to their
rowing. The moral Of it all is that
football classes with rowing or any
either hard exercise, in that proper
training is absolutely necessary, and
that whenever students are allowed
&c play hard games without it. the
authorities of the institution should
be held responsible for serious in
juries or fatalities.-Sporting News.

NEW PHILIPPINE LOAN.
Issue of S3,OOO,0OO Certificates as an
Emergency Measure.
TrRoM THE TRIBUNE BUREAU.I

washington. July 1o-Another loan of 100000 is
to be negotiated for the government OF the Philip
pines. Authority for 1t Is contained IN the act
providing monetary system for the islands, where
in total loan of 80 100000 is authorized II IL shall
be found necessary for the purpose Of maintaining
the gold standard in the islands. The first loan
of 100000 was made in order that silver bullion
might be purchased with which to coin the first
OO0 ono resos for the new monetary system. This
first loan proved profitable financial transaction
for the insular government The certificates of in
debtedness were made available for deposit with
the United States Treasury to secure deposits of
public money and for this reason the certificates
were sold ar a profitable premium The Treasury
has declared its willingness to accept in the same
way the similar loan for a like amount which has
lust been authorized by legislative act passed by
the Philippine Commission. This fact 1t Is be-
ueved. will make the present loan eagerly sought
as the former by hnanciers in this country Then
too the gold which is to be secured by the sale OF
the certificates is be deposited to the credit OF
the insular government either In TINS country or
in the Philippines and will draw interest IN excess
of the amount of interest to be paid the certi-
Gates so that the loan promises now TO be even
more profitable than the first
The nressut loan o. So $4,000 is being made as an
emergency measure. It is not known what efforts
,,, b made IN discredit the new Philippine silver
currency when it is declared legal tender in the
islands and the Philippine Commission mas indl-
Gated its desire be prepared TO meet any attempt
,,b,cb may be made to cheaper the new currency

DIAMONDS AND PROSPERITY.
Last Years Importations of Precious Stones
Broke All Records
TrRoM THE TRIBUNE BUREAU.

Washington. July 1O.-ProspeTity goes hand IN
hand with diamonds and other precious stones.
This is the lesson the new Department OF Com
merce and Labor teaches by its statistical state
ment for the fiscal year just ended. showing that
more than 100000 worth of diamonds and other
precious stones were brought into the United States
in that period This breaks all previous yearly
records by many millions, and with the stock Of
scintillators which has been accumulating in the
past easily places the nation among the most
brilliant in the company of the powers. There is
something even more than general prosperity in
the American purchases of so many diamonds. It
shows the development of comparatively new in
dustrv in the United States. the cutting OF dia-
rnonds OF the S24. 100000 worth Of diamonds i'm
ported in eleven months 100000 worth were uncut
diamonds. This total of Slo0G0N worth OF uncut
diamonds is a large increase, compared with the
eleven. months of the year 1902 being &.5oo0oO, while
FOR the corresponding period OF 1911 they were
Sc 5GoO00 for the corresponding months OF 100
Sc $4,000 and for the corresponding months OF 1855
The diamonds Imported are divided by the Bureau
of Statistics statements into two groups: Diamonds
uncut including miners. glaZers, and engraverS,
not set and diamonds cut but not set; The value
OF dia au1onds uncut including miners glazers etc.
has grown from 500 900 in 1885 to Sl0o0U0 in 1919
while that of diamonds cut but not set has grown
being in ga en- for the period OF eleven months
The Inference that the cutting Of diamonds is be-
coming important INDUSTRY IN the United states
which is suggested by the rapid increase n the I'M
oortstion of uncut diamonds, Is strengthened by
The fact that the census statistics of lapdary work
show that the total value or producton OF lapidry
