CAPTAIN JAMES COOK.

Capt. James Cook, the immortal British seaman who was one of the first explorers of the West coast of America, born in Yorkshire 19O years ago tomorrow, Oct. z7, TIPS. In 1755 he entered the Royal navy, and four years later he was made master of the Mercury, which belonged to the squadron dispatched against Quebec. In IT'S he sailed on an expedition which had for it's main object to as- certain whether any communication existed between the Atlantic and Pa ciffc Oceans in the Arctic regions. Early in 1778 he reached Vancouver Island and cast anchor in an inlet which he Christened King Georges Sound, and which is today known as Nootka. Captain Cook remained there some time, and then sailed Ieis- urely up the coast, stopping at every inlet which held forth the promise of being the passage between the two oceans. He was, of course, disap- pointed. After deciding that there was no navigable passage between the two great oceans, he refitted his ships, and set sail for the Sandwich Islands to spend the winter of IT'S. While in Hawaii a boat was stolen by one of the islanders, and Captain Cook seized the kink and held him until the boat was restored. The na- tives resented this insult to their ruler. and in the hostilities which fol- lowed Captain Cook was killed.

KIMBERLY,

The first diamond discovered in GrIqualand, South Africa, was found by the children of a Dutch farmer, who for a time used it for a play thing. The stone was sent to Cape Town, where its true nature was rec ognized, and 1t was subsequently sent to Paris, where it sold for $2,500. Re- searches in the region soon followed and diamonds were unearthed in vari- ous places in Griqualand West with the result that forty-seven years ago tomorrow the country of the Griquas, a mixed race sprung from Dutch set tiers and native women. was formally e1nexed by Great Britain. Diamond hunting was at first confined to the banks of the Wall river, but in the year of the British occupation mines were opened in the locality known as "dry digging" which later became known as Kimberly. In 1862 the world was startled by the discovery of the Stewart diamond of 288 S-8 car- ats. The daily output of the consoh- dated mines at Kimberly just before the outbreak of the war was estimat- ed at S220,000

SHOP EARLY AND BUY ONLY USEFUL
 CHRISTMAS GIFTS

Hartford, Oct. 26-Co-operation by Connecticut's school authorities, clergy, women's clubs and chambers of commerce has been sought by the Connecticut State Council of Defense in its campaign to regulate Christmas buying in a manner not unduly in terfering with business, yet consistent with the wartime interests of the na- ton.
 The recommendations embrace early Christmas shopping and the confining of Christmas giving except to young children, to useful articles. Cash payments for all gifts are advo- cated. Gifts mailed or sent by eX- press should be of such a nature that they can be shipped in small parcels. Gifts should be delivered in person wherever possible so as to reduce mailing within the city limits, store deliveries and special messenger deliv- cries. The recommendations point out that Liberty Bonds and War Say ings Stamps make ideal gifts for any, body.

What War Workers Are Doing and Who They Are
 Plainly Told.

(By George w. Perkins, Chairman
 of the Finance Bureau, United
 War Work Campaign.)
 What about this great United War Work Campaign that will sweep the country from November Il. to No- vember IS?
 People far and wide, once under standing, will contribute the $17O,- 800, 900 asked for with joy in their hearts because they will then under stand what we mean, when we say that the Y. M. c. A., the Y. W. c. A. the National Catholic War Council (K. of CD, the Jewish Welfare Board, the American Library Asso- citation, the War Camp Community Service and the Salvation Army, all cooperating under the single head of United War Work Campaign are shipping overseas each week 500 tons of cheer and helpfulness for the sons Of America who are fighting the fight for the freedom of mankind. At first these welfare agencies worked as separate institutions with little real cooperation. Each rais- ed it's own funds. Each establish ed it's own units without considera- ton of the movements of the others. But as time went on the efficiency of this plan was brought into question. Duplication, of effort was apparent. Now under the direction of the President they have all joined forces the greatest social welfare organ ization in the history of the world. Who War Workers Are.
 Today the total number of uniform ed social workers on this side of the water, in England, France, Italy, Rus sia and Switzerland is more than 15,- 900.
 They are clergymen and rabbis, college professors, motion picture operators, ex-basebaII stars, truck drivers chauffeurs, actors, clerks, saw-mill operators, mechanics, musi- clans, cooks,-the list is almost end less.
 There are $500 buildings of all sorts, some rented, but the majority newly built. These are used for sol- dier and sailor club houses, theatres, gymnasiums, and are the nearest ap- proach to those "back home" the fighting man can achieve. A hut may be a lecture room large enough to seat a regiment or it may be a ruined cellar where a Salvation Ar my girl fries doughnuts for the fror line men or a Y. M. c. A. or a K of c. secretary or Jewish Welfare worker provides cigarettes, choco- late, stationery and other small ware. It is the vital representative of the American home, living evidence that the folks back home still care.
 They are great operators of resorts, including the Rest at Aix-les-Bains and six like it, all provided as fur tough places for the boys. They have taken over and conduct biscuit and sweet; chocolate factories in France, so that the boys may have something to eat while fighting.
 All seven agencies are exporters on a huge scale and their respective rec ords reveal a record of total busi- ness that is amazing.
 What They Send Over.
