years ago he bought the highest grade
of Jagersfontein diamonds OF the same
size tor $50.
Stones weighing half carat Of ordi-
nary grade are now sold at the rate Of
$50 a carat, he said. as against $50 u
decade ago. and Quarter-carat stones
have risen in the same time from so per
carat to sl10. The value per carat Of
diamonds decreases rapidly in the smaller
sizes. so that two halt-earat gems are
together worth less than a one-earat
diamond.
According to the dealer, the various
discoveries that have been heralded from
time to time as likely TO bring cheaper
diamonds. have not had anyi important
effect. Within a couple OF years few
diamonds have been discovered In several
parts of the United States and In Canada.
but no gems are coming TO the market
from any Of these places. The latest
report from the Canadian diamonds Is
that they are OF microscopic size and ex.
plode on exposure to light or heat.
The various methods of making artifi-
clai diamonds have proved futile in q
commercial way. Maiden Lanes import
ers who were little alarmed by the
early reports OF laboratory diamonds are
now satisfied that the hand OF man can
never make a diamond that will stand
comparison with tho natural gems.-New

John d. Wells. the humorist. told the
following story In a recent address be-
fore the Buffalo Ad club:
There is passage I'm The Fourth
Estate which says that nowadays the
editorial columns are made subseryient
to the advertising columns. That's all
rot. II would be funny II II weren't so
malicious. 1t is true that a long time
ago that was more or less a fact; but
now-well, I'll tell you story.
Not 80 long ago Colonel Felix Angus
OF the Baltimore Sun fired his whole
staff for suppresslng q news story on the
grounds that II concerned a big adver-
tiser. He told the news staff TO print
everything that was news and that was
Mt to print, even II It concerned his whole
family.
Ills words were prophetic. That very
afternoon his son got into an automobile
scrape on residential street. Next morn
ing II was played up big on the front
page.
Well. Colonel Angus got busy on a
phone from his bed when he saw that
story, and he promptly raised the salary
Of his new city editor then and there.
And that is the newspaper feeling 10 a

BAY STATE PENSION SYSTEM
Annuties and Retirement Rules
for Civil Service Employees I'm
Massach usetts.

In Massachusetts, q law went into ef-
feet on the first day Of the year providing
for the payment OF annuities to all civil
service employees OF the state on their re-
tirement after continuous service for a
stated number OF years, On reaching the
age Of 60 such employees may retire vol
unfairly; at the age Of 70 retirement Is
compulsory. The law affects all en-
ployes except governor. lieutenant SOW
ernor. high-salaried state officials and
employees who are now entitled to re-
tired pay out OF special funds. as teach
ers, firemen and policemen. The civil
service pension fund Is to be created from
contributions to the amount OF from ! to
per cent OF the salaries or wages OF the
employees. which the state will deduct
from their pay. The state contributes an
equal amount. and no pension is to be
less than 500 year nor more than half
the salary or wage paid the recipient at
the time Of retirement. Massachusetts, is
reputedly a conservative state. but It's
legislation In some directions is as radical
as any that has been adopted by Kan
sas, Wisconsin oregon or Oklahoma.-
