As diamonds differ in color they
differ also in their crystalline quality.
Some are intrinsically more brilliant
than others and differ from stones
less brilliant as clear water in sun
light differs from the same water in

liancy. in n very marked degree, TO
their cutting, but no cutters art can
make a dull stone the equal OF one OF

THE War Department is utilking
i All possible agencies. govern
|, mental welfare and others, In
its work OF getting a Job for every
man who IL discharged from the Gov
eminent service. II does not feel that
rs task has been completed until
these ends have been served.
This interest shown by the Govern
ment In the welfare OF the ex-soidier
Is unexampled in the history OF after
war conditions.
In this new departure the United
states IL not alone. In England.
France and Italy the respective War
Departments have taken up tho new
work Of placing the demobillzed SOL
'dier back into civil life.
The reasons for this are to be
found first in the fact that the Eu-
ropcan war was unexampled in It's
magnitude. II involved nearly n bill
lon people. More than 7,0OO,0 900 pco-
pie lie buried in Europe as a result
OF II, and over 10000. 900 soldiers are
maimed for life. The total cost in
life and material exceeds tenfold the
cost OF all the other wars, from the
Napoleonic ones to the Balkan wars
OF 1918. The destruction wrought
by this war was so vast that only a
concerted organized effort will be
able to restore. even in part, what
was so deeply shaken. Tho disabled
man must be given work OF such a
kind that he can perform II in spite
OF his disability. The man whose
ability In a certain field OF human
endeavor was developed through war
must be given an opportunity to use
this ability TO the last ounce.
Unemployment after the Civil War
did not form an acute problem. The
United States was largely an agri-
cultural country and each man te-
turned TO his farm or small trade
without creating more than a slight
ripple in the life OF the country. In
a few weeks or a few days the re-

step Of life. The total number Of
people employed industriAiiy then did
not exceed the number OF soldiers

mobillzing In one month.
The three hundred thousand men

month. II LEFT completely TO their own
devices to shift for themselves with

tremendously. II must not be forgot
ten that, 10 carry on the war sue
cessfully and to furnish. food aud
ammunition to our allies, our indus
tries have opened new fields for
wemen, and so temporarily increased
the unemployment OF men.
But moro than anything else, the
magnitude OF the European calamity
has awakened the spirit OF responsi-
bility in which the words Of Cain.
Am 1 my brothers keeper7" have no
place. Each Government now feels
that It has duty TO perform toward
the men who performed their duty to
their governments.
The very same problems We are
facing here are being faced and
met by all OF our allies in Europe.
They are new problems, met in a new
spirit.
After previous wars Governments
considered that in granting a small
yearly pension 10 the widow and
orphans or some privilege to the
wounded their duty To the ex-soldisF
was discharged.

one Of our most beautiful women Of
the pure American type.
Before her marriage Miss Edmon-
son lived at that delightful haven for
girls interested In the arts, the studio
Club, No. S5 East 65th Street. There
she told OF her descent "Yes, I am
really a princess" she said, "al-
though am only a quarter blood
Indian. Through my mother. who
was a half-breed. am directly de-
scended from Sequoyah, who In
vented the Cherokee alphabet"
And Chief sequoyah unquestionabiy
was the greatest man OF his tribe,
and perhaps the only great red man
whose fame depends solely on the
arts OF peace. Sequoyah never
lifted his hand against the white
man. But he invented an alphabet
OF eighty-slx sounds, and taught his
people TO read ind write II. He has
been called "the Cadmus OF the In
diuns," after the legendary hero who
gave an alphabet to the Greeks.
IT is also said that Mrs. Crokers
Scotch father is a descendant OF Lord
Montgomery. Earl OF Eglinton, who
was one OF the leaders OF the Nor
man conquerors OF England at the
Battle OF Hastings. II l were she,
however, Chief Sequoyah would be
tne pride OF my family tree.
As a child in Muskogee, Okla,
she was keenly interested in the re-
maTkable legends, songs and dances
OF her tribe. she never saw a rail-
road train till after her sixteenth
birthday, But she was well educated.

gem thus represents an outlay of
about $50. If this diamond turns out
to be gem OF first quality Il win re-

$3.50.

dependable Some blue-white one-

can buy a one-carat by-water for

highest price In the market But

Willard will probably enter the ring

In almost every physical measure

largest man who ever held the title.

Wagering on the bout indicates the

that there will be little time wasted

Dempsey is noted for his eagerness

Willard, but the champions closest
friends indicate their belief that he
will startle the boxing world tomor-
row by a display of aggression and
hard, fast. hitting heretofore foreign

he has requested that no attention
be paid to an unintentional foul COM
