WHEN MONEY is VALUABLE.

Eminent financiers have agreed that
the purchasing power Of a dollar in
the next few years will exceed the
purchasing power of the dollar today
to a very great degree. Therefore,
when n saves a dollar now, he will
have two or more dollars in after
years to purchase comforts that ad-
vancing age requires. But the dollar
saved loses much of its force unless
it is well invested. There is no in
vestment today that can surpass War
Savings Stamps for the small investor
or the Treasury Savings Certificates
for those who can invest sums of 500
or $1,000. These Treasury Savings
Certificates = Identical in all of the
financial terms with the War Savings
Stamps II possess all Of tlleir ad.

, USED mxA6Nps As COUNTERS
Miners Who Found Them In Brazil In
1726 Considered Them as Merely
sstsy Pebbles.

The news frwm Brazil that large
diamond mines Of that country on
more scientific scale in an effort to
make Brazil once more an important
fnctOr In supplying the worlds most
popular gem, recalls one Of history's
richest jokes.
Diamonds were first discovered in
Brazil IN 1725. But with their pockets
full Of diamonds, the discoveries were
unaware for two years that they had
made II discovery.
J Miners washing for gold in the Minas
/. Gerics district picked up pretty peb-
iics from time to time, They thought
them worthless and used thpn for
counters In their card games. If they
had no money they gambled for the
pebbles, wlnnng or losing, IN bllssful
ignorance, kings ransom in diamonds
on the turn Of card.
A penniless ndventurer drifted into
the gold fields In 1927. Some of the
miners staked him one evening to a
handful Of pebbles that he might sit
in ut a card game. The others played
with llstlcss interest, but the new
conner played with care ana skin. He
had seen rough diamonds in India and
knew what the pebbles were As a
result he won all the pebbles around
the table
He did not remain in the fields to
wash for gold, but next day hurried
to Rio .Janeiro and took ship for Lis
bon where he sold his pebbles fer
fortune and lived happily ever after
The rush of diamond hunters to Bra
I'll which followed carried back to the
miners in Minas GeraeS the first init
nation that they had been rich for two
years without knowing it.

Homer.

Homer Is an epic poet and not h's-
torian. so II Is quite natural that he
should have exaggerated everything
with poetic license. Moreover. the
events which he describes nrc so mar
velous that many scholars have long
doubted the very existence Of Troy
and have considered the city tn 10 a
mere invention of the poets fancy. I
venture to hope that the civilized
world will not only not he diSappoint-
cd that the city of Prinm has shown
itself to he scarcely twentieth part
MS large rs was to hc expected from
the statements Of the HAD. but that
on the contrary It will accept with de-
light and enthusiasm the certainty
that Tlum did really exist, that n
large portion Of II has now been
brought to light and that Homer, even
although he exaggerntes nevertheless
sings Of events that actually happened.
