WASHINGTON, Nov. Precious
stones were never so precious as they
are today. With cut diamonds worth
a thousand dollars karat. and rubies,
emeralds and sapphires of the finest
quality worth even more than dia-
monds, the truly precious stones have
gone beyond the reach of all but the
most wealthy
Waldemar T. Schaller, of the geo
logical survey, who is an expert on
precious stones. says that this, like
almost everything else. is due partly
to the war. The mining of precious
stones has fallen off greatly in the last
few years. But it is due even more
TO the fact that the supply of these
stones in nature is steadily diminish
ing. This, of course, does not apply
so exactly to pearls, which are manu-
featured by oysters. Pearls are not
within Mr.. Schaller's jurisdiction, be-
cause they are not minerals, but pearls
are also becoming constantly more ex-
pensive.
The astonishing value which pre-
cious stones have acquired by ceoom-
ing scarce has given rise to many in
teresting developments. When a bit of
diamond the size of the tip of a lead
pencil is worth thousand dollars, and
Win tle struggle Tor the necessities OF
life as bitter as it is, it takes a bold
man or woman to wear many dia-
monds. Many, of course, do it in
spite of the risks, but the number Of
gems which repose in caskets and
never see the light of day is undoubt-
edly increasing. There are many ia
nous jewels which have not been seen
for generations. Such, for example, is
the famous Briganza diamond owned
by the government of Portugal. 1t Is
kept locked up in a safe and no one
is ever allowed to see it. 1t is said
one reason for this is that the famous
Briganza stone is not a diamond at
all, but merely chunk of quartz No
one is allowed to see it because if it
was seen by an expert its real nature
would become known and the Portu.
guese government would be the sub
ject of an international laugh.
The value of gems at this time is
nothing to the value that they will
have in the future, for they are be-
coming scarcer every day. There is
no better investment than a diamond
a ruby, a sapphire or an emerald, pro-
vided the stone is genuine and of the
highest quality. Such stone is more
certain to rise in value than any stock
or bond you could possibly buy. But

election of one Of their number TO the
highest office of the church takes
place.
Q. What is meant by the term
Continental American" H. P H.
A. BY Continental America is meant
that part of the United States which
is situated on the mainland of the
northern atmosphere. This would in
clude Alaska, but would not include
the Hawaiian Islands, nor the Philip
pines. nor Porto Rico.
Q. While the president was in Eu-
rope, he received among other honors,
the Freedom of London" What is
the significance of this honor? E. A
A. The custom of comforting the
freedom of the city upon a person is
entered upon the register of the mu-
ntcipal electors. In medieval times
the principle of the freedom of the
domicile was by no means universally
recognized. It was necessary in some
cities to serve seven years appren-
ticeship to one of the recognized guilds
before becoming a citizen of the town.
In such days the comforting of the
freedom of the city upon a man was
of great practical value. 1t has now
become merely an expression Of honor.
Q. What is the cheapest way to GO
to Savannah Ga. from New York?

A. You can travel cheapest by boat
There are Two steamship lines between
these points. The fare TO savannah

TRAVELETTE
Corcoran Art Gallery

For those who are interested in the
COW, and who derive inspiration from
her beauty of line and color, the Cor
coran art gallery in Washington has
unusual charms. The life of the COW
receives much publicity there. She
is portrayed in all her varied inactivi-
ties.
As COW after COW confronts the seek
er after beauty, he is constrained TO
wonder why SO many artists choose
her as a subject. She is not the most
graceful of creatures. Often her color
scheme is lacking in both design and
harmony. But she stands still longer
than almost any other living animal,
and that may account for her popu-
larity among the artists whose paint
ings are exhibited in the Corcoran gal
lery.
The Corcoran gallery was estab-
lished by a wealthy gentleman of that
name for the encouragement Of Amer
lean art, and it fulfills this purpose
by holding two exhibitions of Ameri-
can paintings every year. Sometimes
it buys some of the pictures which are
exhibited. Unknown artists say that
only those of established reputation
ever sell anything to the Corcoran, and
radical artists say that the Corcoran
management does not know that any
thing has happened in the world Of
art since the days of Queen Victoria.
But the Corcoran people and the art
lists whose pictures they buy are both
pleased with themselves.
Most of the pictures in the Corcoran
are of the kind that tell story. Pic
lures like this cause truly modern
artist to gnaw his brushes in rage. He
says that art is done telling stories,
and that its proper function is to Gre
ate beauty of color and design. But
the people that run the gallery don't
agree with him. And besides, the pic
lures in the Corcoran are just the kind
that the tourists who come to Wash
ington like to see. And everybody
wants the tourists 10 he hannv

WHEN TELLER NEED A FRIEND

When a Teller gets to rockin, and feels his knees
knoclIin,
And the objects all around him start to spin;
When homeward he starts waikiki While 10 hlnseH
talkin'
OF what boomin idiot he has been;
When he hopes that wife is sleepin and quietly goes
creepin'
Up the steps, as he has often done before;
When he wakes I'D all the neshbors with his enter
prism labors-
huntin' for the keyhole in the door;
When with many stabs and scratches using
box of matches,
At last tie key is where it ought to be;
When he gently tries to it, finding then-by gosh
and durn it,
That he has been usin the wrong key;
When by luck he finds another, with the same
sSnount of bother,
And finally the door begins to swing;
When inward he sneakin, with the blamed old
hinges squeakin
With sound that fairly makes the welkin ring;
When the door he softly closes and quite honestly
supposes
That he is headed squarely for the stair;
When he hears the hall-tree tumble and but addin~
the rumble,
lie wildly goes a sprawlin' Ger chair;
When he picks himself up slowly, feeling now quite
meek and lowly,
And his joyous celebrations at end;
When after all this stallin' he hear his wife
calm
Then, my boy, is When Feller Needs Friend

PNEUMATIC TIRES ON
TRUCKS GIVE BETTER
MILEAGE THAN SOLID

Figures on the subject indicate that
the drift toward the use of large
pneumatic tires instead of solid tires
on light trucks has become very
noticeable The experts of this coun-
ty are of the opinion that the time
is near at hand when the accepted
tire equipment for such trucks viii be
OF the pneumattc variety.
The popularity Of the pneumatic tire
for light trucks Is not simply mat
ter of taste, but is due to the very
pronounced savings in gas. oil ami
depreciation made possible by the use
OF the pneumatic equipment.

writes Il very emphatic letter on tho
subject. and SAYS, in part. by the use
