DIAMOND PRICES JUMP
TO AMAZING FIGURES
Gems That Sold at 500 Carat Now
Bringing $500. Workmen and
Farmers Heavy Buyers.

Diamonds are moving from market
to market in volume never before
known and the demand is increasing
daily, according to reports from New
York city, the center of the gem
trade in the United States. o
Precious stones that sold for $500
a carat five years ago are bringing
5000. and even then dealers are find
ing it difficult to supply the market;
Farmers in the middle west, and
workmen who are commanding high
wages are among the heaviest buy
ers.
Until six months ago the United
States was buying more precious
stones than all the rest of the world
put together. Now the tide has set IN
against this country. Germany, Rus
STA, Turkey, India, China and japan
are buying heavily because currency
in those lands has deprecated so
heavily and because securities have
suffered in keeping with currency.

CAME FROM ABROAD
WITH TROUSERS ON
MISS SHEER, OF HOLLAND, PRE-
Diets AMERICAN WOMEN
SOON WILL WEAR EN-.

NEW YORK, N. Y.-Pantaloons of
the knickerbocker variety will be
worn by New York women in short
time if the prediction of Miss A.
Sheer, who arrived from Rotterdam
on the liner Nieuw Amsterdam, comes
true.
Miss Sheer wore 'em.
They were sort of harem variety,
made of black satin, caught at the
knees and trimmed with gold bro
cade.
"There is really no reasonable ar
|gument against pantaloons," Miss
Sheer said.
"They certainly are comfortable,
and allow the wearer the greatest
freedom. The farmerettes showed
skirts were a thing of the past. Ger
tainly if one wore pants one would
be different, but the women of Amer
lea are nothing if not different.
"The styles abroad now are made
to accentuate the hips and display the
ankles. Gray stockings are the last
word. One sees them at the most
fashionable functions regardless of
the color of the gown.
"Another thing is the use of dark
face powder. The women are using a
powder that makes them the color of
Indians. Then they add quantity OF
color to the lips"

ONLY ONE TON A MONTH CAN
BE HAD BY EACH HOUSE.
HOLD IN DIXIE.

An order limiting the distribution
of coal to households to one ton at a
time, which has been in effect in At
lanta and Mobile, Ala, for more than
week, has been put into effect all
over the southern region by the re-
gional coal committee in accordance
with telegraphic instructions from
the central coal committee in Wash
ington.
That further and more drastic re-
strictions would be put on coal dis
tributions was indicated in the state
ment issued by the regional coal COM
mittee Wednesday afternoon.
Unless the coal situation through
out the country shows an improve
ment within the next few days the
committee will have to cut down all
non-essential uses of fuel, it was
stated. This applies particularly, it
was stated, to the manufacture of
electricity for other purposes than
public utilities and essential business.
First Under Ban.
Electric signs, street lights, show
and display window lights, moving
picture houses, theaters and the like
will be the first to come under the
ban. The situation throughout the
region continues critical, according
to the regional committee. The coal
production in the region continues
about one-third of normal and much
of this is being diverted to regions
that are not so we'll off
The regional coal committee urges
all consumers of domestic coal
throughout the region to conserve
their supply of coal on hand.

Cling to Old System.
A general presidential primary
throughout the country has been eX-
pected by 1920 by some political
leaders, but this was prohibited by
constitutional provision, it being nee
essary for the forty-eight states to
approve such legislation.
Thus far twenty-one states have
made provisions for the popular Sc
lection of presidential nominees. A
majority of the states, however, still
cling to the old state convention sys-
| tenn.
Twenty-six states are still to fix
date when presidential preferences
may be selected by voters.
With selection of convention dates
at meetings of republican and demo
cratic national committees but few
weeks off the presidential election is

CAPTAIN Goodrich, with crew OF
five, will set sail for Panama to re
cover bullion lost in the fire and
wreck of steamer fifteen miles
north of Manbanillo, July 27, 1862.
The wreck of the Golden Gate was
one of the worst in the history OF
navigation on the Pacific coast. Two
hundred lives were lost when the yes
sci was beached after it caught fire
Old sailors, who recall the wreck,
declare that Captain Goodrich's
brother. Henry, when the Golden
Gate was lost, helped the first officer

DARING VOYAGE BY
BOSTONIANS ENDED
FAMILY CROSSED ATLANTIC IN
FIFTY-TWO FOOT BOAT. MADE
SAFE TRIP TO AZORES.

In a little 52-foot schooner-rigged
knockabout the Lucy B. Winsor, car
rying only two auxiliary engines of
3O-horse power for use in bad wealth
err, Graciano F. Rio, Boston lobster
merchant, his wife, son, nine-year-old
grandson and one hired navigator
have crossed the Atlantic ocean to
the Azores, and have undoubtedly by
this time reached Portugal, their des-
tination.
In the whole library of New Eng
land sea lore there is recorded no
more audacious feat than the voyage
of the Boston family, which was un-
dertaken as a pleasure trip.
No little effort had been expended
in vain attempts to have Mr.. Rio give
up the project. He was told that 1T
was foolhardy. But the merchant IS
an experienced sailor. His skill IN
handling any kind of craft is recog-
nized in Boston harbor. He bought
the Winsor some years ago and all
last winter and during the preceding
summer he had spent most of his
spare time in remodeling the boat for
the long voyage. The frail craft sail
ed from Boston harbor late in Aug
ust. Cablegrams, letters and clip
pings from Portuguese newspapers
published in the Azores reported the
safe arrival of the vessel at the port
of Angra one month later.
Friends of the Rio family said that
they have every reason to believe the
voyage achieved a happy conclusion
recently in the harbor of Lisbon, a
few miles from Mr.. Rios boyhood
