SOLDIERS LEARN
DIAMOND CUTTING TRADE

Brighton, England. June S.-Sol-
diers who have lost leg but whose
hands and sight are perfect are learn
ing diamond cutting and polishing in
this Atlantic City of England. They
are employed almost exclusively in an
industry new to England and expect
before the war is over to compete on
a favorable basis with the more high
ly skilled diamond cutters of Amster-
dam and Antwerp, where in pre-war
days there was monopoly of the bus
ness. Two large, modern, four story
buildings are being put up which
when completed will employ 1900 dis
charged soldiers.
Only ex-soldiers with unimpaired
oyesight and perfect control OF their
fingers are taken because everything
depends on mans accuracy of vision
and control of his hands. Even with
these qualities it takes a man a life
time to learn the trade.

mitted he is put to work on marbles
such as he played with when boy

as he will later do with the real
stones. The marbles are first sawn in
half, and then ground into shape on
a steel disc, This serves to give him
some idea of the finished shape of the
real diamond, but it is impossible to

A recent examination of pupils in
an Indiana high school brought forth
some new and strange information.
One student declared Lenine was king
of England, another that Haig was a
palace in Germany. Other strange
facts that appeared in the examina-
ton papers were that Lloyd George
was a French prince, and that peri
scope is a large gun used in heavy
artillery. The students were assigned
ten questions on the war. Only nine
out of rs in the quizzed class made
passing grades. One student got off
an unconscious bit of irony we'll
worth reproducing when he wrote;

A deputy marshal arrived on the
scene and took him to the jail. Dial

three negroes for one hour and five
minutes. Sheriff Brady came down
and interviewed him; then came the
citizen with the balck eye and Daley
was released The victim extended
his hand and there was handshaking
