 His letter, dated London, Sunday June lO 1917, is in part as follows:

During this period Sir Thomas made sew eral nice talks-told some good yarns (Amcrican). Major Collins and Major Bes- ley also made good talks, and young lady, with a wonderful voice, sang Se- vance River, ''Star-Spangled Banner and several English songs. A little French girl, about or 10 years old, re- cited several pieces, and she was great, absolutely wonderful. Upon leaving Sir Thomas gave each of the officers box of 50 very expensive cigarettes, and to each of the nurses a two-pound box of chocolates. He came back to town with us driving his Mercedes car himself, with the car full of nurses.

Enough diamonds are sacrificed each year in the average automobile factory to fit up dozen kings crowns Quantity production of automobiles requires that every one of the 10000 parts turned out by machinery must measure up to high standard. Only then will the parts of the assembled automobile work together smoothly. The emery wheels, used for rapid finishing, must be 'trued up" with corresponding accuracy. Nothing less hard than the diamond can be depended upon for this "truing."
