DIAMONDS FOUND | ALONG WAR COAST
Picking Up Valuables from Wrecked Vessels

IN BRITISH WATERS, Nov. 27.-- Irish fishermen along the coasts where the U-boats operate, have made some catches during the past year. The story of the fisherman who found $15,000 box of diamonds from the Lusitania in his nets one day. and whose honesty in returning them to the rightf'u owners was re- warded by a check for $1,000, is we'll known. There is another fisherman who arrived home from . fishing ex- petition with . fine new American automobile lashed to the deck of his little trawler. There are hundreds of fishermen who have made modest for tunes out of salvage of one kind or another. Wheat, -four and coal sal wage are all profitable businesses in the coast towns nowadays.
 The story of the man who came home from the sea with . brand new automobile is . household favorite in the Irish ports. Accompanied by his son he was mackeral fishing one day when he was aroused by the report of an explosion. On the horizon . cargo steamer from America was settling in the stern. It had been torpedoed. The fisherman headed for 1t and soon met the captain and crew in two open boats. "She's loaded with American automobiles you might get one be- fore she goes down." said the skip per jokingly as he and his shipmates passed on towards shore.
 The torpedoed ship was stili we'll above water when the fisherman came alongside. He at once sent his son aboard to look around. The latter found the hold full of automobiles. Run one out through this gangway," directed the father. With the aid of some tackle the machine was drop ped into the fishing vessel. A few moments later as the trawler steamed away the ship disappeared. The fish erman with an automobile is now the envy of the village.
 Many torpedoed vessels manage to reach shore where they the usually pounded to pieces on the rocks. But before the cargo is lost forever peo- pie come from miles around to sal wage 1t. Anything that will float Is us- ed and everyone helps himself. Men, women and children attack cargo and ship. removing brass fittings and any thing else of value. Flour and canned meats, fruits and vegetables form the larger portion of the salvaged ar ticles.
 One village has had the good for tune to have a couple of foodships bring up on its very doorsteps,. Most of the ships of course go down at sea. but this does not dishearten the alert fisherman who have been known to transfer several hundred sacks of the best American flour from a vessel while 1t is sinking many miles from land. If the explosion tears a big enough hole in the victim much of the cargo will become loosened and wash ashore where it Is quickly spied by the watchful eyes of the natives.
 Salvage companies also are very active and are making huge profits. Some have transferred their whole outfits to this coast. Their agents can bid on a wheat cargo without seeing 1t and can tell just how far into . sack of hour the water will have pene- trated in a given period.

Miss Barry in Blue Velour.

Miss Cora Barry was wearing in H
street the other afternoon an attractive
suit of dark blue velour made in simple
but distinctive style. The coat. by
its straight lines suggested the well
defined cut of the coat of a riding
habit and the skirt carried out the same
idea by its simplicity. Dark blue taffeta
which was either pin tucked or laid on
in inch-wide bands formed the material
for the nediura-sized hat whose brim
was narrower in the front than. in the
back, where it turned up shortly across
the left side. A narrow blue ribbon
around the base of the crown was the
only trimming and Miss Barry finished
her costume by a neckpiece and mufr
of seal fur.
