No Truth in Stories That
Diamond Prices Are to Be
Cut, Says Peter G. Diener

stories given to the public to the
effect that diamonds intended for Eu-
rope and which find no sale there on
account of the war are to be dumped
on the American market at bargain
prices are entirely without founda-
ton" said P. G. Diener, jeweler, this
morning.
"The newspapers have mistaken
decentralization in diamond mine shares
for a Generalization of the diamond
mine business" he continued. not
realizing the fact that stopping OF
mining and sale of uncut gems, which
makes the mine shares go down in
price, has a tendency to make the
market for cut diamonds advance, be-
cause it cuts off the available supply"

ands of these have been disposed of
in the Rio Grande basin. The only
irrigation supply for she-Rio Grande
basin is the river. We all of us can
remember Speaker Reeds quip about
Bryan. He said the Nebraskan re-
minded him of the Rio Grande river,
Because it was three hundred miles
long and only four inches Deep"
There are times when this river is a
turbid flood and there are times when
it can be forded by a man wearing top
boots without getting his feet wet. At
times when water is needed there is
mighty little water in this stream and
when it is not needed it overflows its
banks. More buyers have been stuck
on irrigated propositions than on any
other kinds of real estate deals and
lots of men have been stuck on other
kinds.
Parties owning holdings next the
main irrigating ditch always have. the
first right to the water use, and those
adjoining come in regular order. In
times of drouth the remote holders
must whistle for their moisture. In
purchasing irrigated holdings it is es-
sential that the buyer should receive
an iron-clad, fully guaranteed provis-
ion that certain amount of water will
be supplied when needed If this is
not done the title to a holding is not
worth the paper on which it is printed.

Snuff Spoons.

All the world is familiar with snuff
boxes. but snuff spoons are pretty little
refnements of which this generation
has hardly heard. Very probably they
came into use about two years after
Sir George Rockies expedition to Vigo
bay in 1902. when he captured half a
ton Of tobacco and snuff from the
Spanish galleons, and snuff thus be-
came a common article in England
One Of the characters in comedy
published at Oxford in 1704, entitled
San Act at Oxford" by Thomas Ba-
ker, says, "But l carry sweet snuff for
the ladies'" to which Arabella replies:
"A spoon too That's very gallant, for
to see some people run their fat fingers
into a box is as nauseous as eating
without fork" In the forties and
fifties of the last century snuff spoons
were still in use on the Scottish Dor
der. They were of bone and of a size
to go into the snuffbox. People fed
their noses. 1t was said, as naturally
as they carried soup to their mouths

A RECORD PRESCRIPTION.
After 1t Was Bought and Paid For II
rs Lost Its Charm.

Lost Its Charm.
The largest amount ever officially
recorded as the purchase price of a
prescription is $1,000 ($25. 900, paid by
the British parliament to a Mrs. Ste
vens to reveal the ingredients of her
cure for gravel and stone in the blad-
der and kidneys" Parliament voted
this amount to satisfy the demands
Of the British public; also because Mrs.
Stevens would not take penny less
for her secret
The ingredients as revealed by Mrs.
Stevens were as follows: "Eggshells,
snails shells and alb, hips and haws,
ash keys, swine cress and various 9TH
er vegetables all burned to a cinder,
and the ash mixed with camomile
flowers and fennel and other vege-
tables"
Curiously enough, when this high
priced prescription was made public it
Immediately lost its potency-and its
popularity. New cases failed to re-
spond to its magic, and cases which
had been cured while its mysteries
were still unrevealed promptly de-
veloped new symptoms. At the end
Of year it was practically forgotten.
But its price record still stands; also
the record of one instance in which a
British parliament failed to get its
moneys worth.-Los Angeles Times.

RUNNING A BLOCKADE.
Rules That Usually Govern This Ex-
citing Wartime Sea Game.

citing Wartime Sea Game.
Although their operations are drastic
and unpleasant. blockades and block
ade runners have always been among
the most picturesque and dramatic as
poets Of IL great war.
BlockaCn< can be applied either to an
enemy'S ~ or fortress or to port
or serIt ports on an enemy's coast.
1t has. II ii naval sense, two effects.
1t brings pressure to bear on an enemy
within their own gates and aims at
preventing the import or export of pro.
visions. articles of trade, ammunition
or re-enforcements 1t also makes it
unlawful for neutrals to trade with
those particular ports.
As a consequence. certain precau-
tions are usually observed. 1t is, for
instance, held that for a valid blockade
not only should a state of war exist,
but that the blockading party should
maintain force sufficient to prevent
access to the blockaded port or. at all
events, powerful enough to render the
passage of a relief ship extremely haz-
ardous. Further, 1t is essential that
neutral nations should have proper mo-
tice of the existence Of the blockade
either by official notice or by warning
given to neutral vessels on their ar
rival outside the prohibited zone.
Nations differ as to what constitutes
an effective blockade. All countries,
however, agree that blockading force
may seize any vessel with its cargo
trying to trade with blockaded port
and can send it home for condemna-
ton. Even if vessel succeeds in
breaking through blockade it can be
pursued and, if possible, captured.
A vessel may. for the sake of human
ity-suppose her crew is starving or
she is in danger of sinking-be allowed
to enter blockaded port. Mail steam
ers also If they do not carry contra
band. are permitted to go in and out

GERMANY's LAST NOTE.

"The King of France, with twice live
thousand men,
Marched up the hill and then march
down again"
After interminible correspondence
between the government of the Unit
ed States and the Imperial govern
ment of Germany in relation to the
freedom of the seas and the rights OF
neutrals the two powers are in exact
ly the same position as they were be-
fore the correspondence began.
After the destruction of the Lusi-
tania the United States government
indited a note to the German govern
ment strongly protesting against its
action in the matter of that vessel,
setting forth that it was contrary to
the laws of nations and the ethics of
humanity to blow up and destroy a
vessel on the high seas, carrying pas
sengers, without due warning and af-
fording the passengers an opportun-
ity to escape, and announced that the
Government of the United States
would hold Germany to "strict ac-
countability" in the future for such
action.
The German government in both
notes addressed to this government
expressed "deep regret" that Amer
lean lives had been lost, but justified
its action and the most vivid mag
ination cannot discern the faintest
shadow of a disavowal of the act, or
the slightest intimation of a promise
to change it's submarine policy in the
future.
In the last note with sublime eff
frontery, it lays down conditions UNI
der which it will guarantee the safety
of American passengers on the seas.
In other words the Imperial govern
ment asserts if the United States will
accept Germany's Interpretation of
what is right and strictly follow her
directions she will guarantee the safe
ey of American passengers-f con-
venient.
In plain words that is the situation
at the present time. In polite diplo-
matte language, but plainly as mean
ing can be conveyed by written Ian
guage the imperial government informs
the United States that she has not the
slightest intention of changing her
submarine warfare in any way, shape,
form or manner, and if the American
commerce suffers and American lives
are lost that is the lookout of the Am
orleans.
Plainly the American government
must make the next move. What that
move will be cannot be even conject-
ured at the present time, and the only
thing the American people can do is
to stand by the President, sit tight,
keep cool, and refrain from rocking
the boat. u.

COLOR AND MOISTURE.
There Is Good Reason Why vegeta-
ton Is Mostly Green.

There IL Good Reason Why vegeta.
tion Is Mostly Green.
Doubtless many have wondered why
the vegetation of the earth is mostly
green. That is, not what makes it
green, but why it is that coter instead
Of blue or red or purple.
Moisture, il has been found, will be
collected by the green foliage in proper
quantities while foliage of other colors
will not be properly nourished by the
aews and moisture from earth and at
mosphere.
A rather curious experiment proves
this.
Paint piece of glass yellow, another
green and one red and one black and
place all these painted pieces of glass
out in the open air over night during a
summer or autumn night.
When examined early the following
morning it will be found that the vel
low piece will be very wet and the
green piece only fairly moist, while the
red and black pieces will be dry.
This is proof that yellow foliage
would collect too much dampness, and
the red and black would gather none.
Green, which collects the medium
amount of moisture, seems to be the
color best adapted to the conditions ex-
listing throughout the earth.
Yellow foliage has been known to
damp off and decay under the same
conditions that makes green foliage
thrive.
A few yellow leaved plants are
grown under considerable difficulty I'M
der ordinary weather conditions.-N New

to the top of the shaft. and just below,
where stands figure Of Washington,
Is far sweeping, especially hayward.
The cornerstone of the monument
was laid with elaborate ceremonies
July 4, 1915, and its crowning fea-
ture, the statue Of Washington, was
set In place in 1929. The Washington
monument lottery was authorized by
the Maryland legislature Jan. 10, 1910.
That act was entitled IAN act respect

DRY Of Washington" and under its pro-
visions the applicants were required to
give bond for the proper conduct Of
the lottery and were required to finish
up the affairs Of the lottery In five
years time. and space OF ground in
Baltimore was allotted for the pro-
posed memorial Washington Star.
