"Adamas," "the unsubduable." SO named by reason of it's extreme hardness and power of resisting fire. From this Greek word the name, diamond" is derived through the Latin "diamas"
 Later Pliny wrote of the diamond that 1t exceeded in value "all hu- man things" and it's use was con fined to kings, and to few even of them. Pliny mentions varieties of the diamond of such unspeakable hardness that when struck with a hammer even the iron of the ham, mer and of the anvil "were torn asunder."
 As Juvenal testifies, even as late as the early period of the Roman Empire-when diamonds were high ly esteemed by the Roman ladies' these stones could not be artificially cut or even polished. They were brilliant only when they possessed faces iii the rough which had re- ceived a natural polish through cen turies of rubbing against other stones in their native bosom of the earth.
 It was not until the year 1476 A. D., when Ludwig van Berghem discov- cred the mode of cutting and polish ing 1t, that the diamond slowly gained. in modern times, the first place among gems which it had en- Joyed among the ancients.
 Among all the ancients who so highly esteemed diamonds-though unable to cut and polish them in the modern fashion-the highly cultured Queen of Sheba would have been most likely to exhaust all means of adapting them to her personal adorn- ment. Though her artisans were un- able to alter the shape of these stones, as modern lapidaries do, to pierce them for use as pendants was not an impossible task-in the light of what we know of the ingenuity and persistence of craftsmen in metals and precious stones, who toiled for the exaltation of the crowned autocrats of the ancient world.

Brief Cold Weather Period in

The brief period Of winter weather
in Albuquerque yesterday morning
was the local exhibit Of a curious Loo
cal storm which reached all parts OF
central New Mexico.
The storm which brought only n
slight rain here. and an is-degree
drop in temperature for an hour, de-
veloped into a heavy hail storm at
Bernainlo and further up the valley,
and at santa Fe which the wave
reached at ti:3O. developed into n
small sized local hurricane. Several
hundred dollars worth OF damage
wal done to roofs. fences and fruit
trees in the state capital. The storm
seems to have been entirely local TO

Potatoes for Fertilizers.

Adjustment. especially as regards
transportation, is what is hampering Us
in spite of railroads, steamboats, and
motors.
Here are the farmers of Oakland coun-
ty shoveling out hundreds Of bushels OF
potatoes from cellars and pits and
spreading them over their ground to rot
as fertilizer, and here in Detroit are
young girls walking the streets hungry
and, like the savior or old, with no place
to Law their heads. while a motley array
of men, both young and old. are sitting
IN the parks and along the docks. to
whom a potato, baked or boiled. would
be welcome indeed.
Here are charitable institutions which
cannot make both ends meet and ceasing
TO be charitable on that account, and
people giving and giving and pouring
taxes into the huge NAV in the city hall
while some of these taxes mot too
many are being doled out again for food
and clothing for the poor of the city.
In Germany they do things better in
this respect at least.
Nothing is allowed to 20 to waste.
They are the conservers par excel
lence, and this is largely true Of France.
Our country is big and we have stood
for the liberty of the individual Ito
starve to death if he ikes) as the great
est boon which life has to offer; but
along with that liberty must come some
thing else or it is worse than useless.
1t is the OPPORTUNITY to live by the
sweat of his brow. which is the only real
liberty man, under present conditions,
can have.
He hasn't it now and we are either
coldly Indifferent or franticAlly rushing
this way and that to find out the cause.
In the meantime "the Lord will pro-
vide" and does provide, but after He has
provided and the earth has yielded her
splendid crops, man. in his frenzied mix
up, knows not what to do and let's his
substance rot.
