Her Sisters Husband.


Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: I
very much want your opinion of a
certain matter. 1t is this: A man
man married a certain young lady.
This young lady had a younger sis
ter. This sister and her brother-in-
law have never met. The wife died
last winter, leaving a small boy. The
sister and brother-in-law have been
corresponding and probably will
meet soon. II they should find that
they are in love and they should
consider marriage, what would you
advise them to Co? Would such a
marriage be considered wrong?
I know am not good scribe,
but do you consider my writing fair
ly legible?
Thanking you for any advice
which you can give me, am sin
cerely yours, L. r.
There is no moral objection to
the marriage Of woman and her
deceased sisters husband. Such q
woman might be better mother for
her sisters child than a step-mother
without that tie. Your writing is
legible and your spelling and pune
tuation are good. 4
Those Who Pity.
Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: I
am a constant reader to your "Ad-
vice to the Lovelorn" and enjoyed
it very much until lately. It IL get
ting a habit of some foolish people
to ask such silly questions. Really
I never had in mind that there were
such silly people In this great
world of ours" I think you must
be getting tired OF answering such
questions like these 15-year-old girls
that find SO much time to worry
about the city girls II they would
spend more of their time minding
their own, business they would sure
ly find less fault with the city girl.
Miss Fairfax, I don't blame you
one bit for the answers you give
them. II was in you place would
think my time too precious answer
ing some Of these silly letters.
I remain, A READER.
There are Just such people IN this
WOIlu Vi du60 ub IL may
seem-but 1t takes just each and
every one to make variety and In
tefest. You know the old saying.
Every one is little queer, but just
thee and me--and sometimes I think
thee Is q little queer" Well, they
pity you and you pity them, and I
seem to be introduced by letter to
you all-and like you. too, each for
your own type. Some Of these It,
year-olds need scolding, though, or
their foolish'ness will grow.
Blue Eyes-Your writing and
grammar IL better than your judge
ment in my opinion. II your mother
has as wise and splendid ideas as
you have shown me she has in this
letter, can only say that you are
foolish to compare them with yours. \
know Of no way for a short girl
to become tall, but there are many
ways that q girl Of your age may
become larger in viewpoint, ambi-
ton and ideal. They are around you
every day and hope you might ind
them.

WANT STEAMSHIP LINE FROM
SAN FRANCISCO TO BRAZIL

San Francisco, April 30.-Establish-
ment of a steamship line between San
Francisco and Rio de Janeiro is being
urged upon the Brazilian government
by Victor du Cunha, consul general
from Brazil in San Francisco and, ac-
cording to his statement, negotiations
have been opened between Brazil and
the United States looking to that end
Mr.. du Cunha's plan calls for. a
monthly sailing from both this CITY
and Rio as beginning, the service to
be increased as conditions warrant
Since it is expected that France will
shortly release the thirty ships loaned
to her by Brazil, many of which are
of large tonnage, there would be no
difficulty in providing carriers. These
vessels were among the fifty German
craft which were seized by Brazil dur
ing the war.

then it goes without saying that there
will be nothing to do but forget that
we have a board of trade. In addi-
ton to this there is no secretary.
Really, it begins to look like boys
play or worse. If the present board
does not intend to do anything then
the proper thing to do is to get out
of the way and let some one call
meeting of the citizens together, or
ganize board and go to work. The
time for real work is here. 1t it should
not be deemed advisable to elect a sec
rotary who will devote his entire time
to the work for salary commensu-
rate with the work, then choose one
who will devote part of his time to
looking after the very necessary bust
ness. There is great deal to do
now. 1t might be deemed feasible to
pay small salary for some one to
work part time for two months and
see if the conditions would not war
rant putting him ona living salary for
his full time at some later date. AT
any rate, do something, or admit that
you are done.

There is strong sentiment in the
city in favor Of bridge across Whit
comb bayou being included in the city
bond issue, should one be made. We
have talked with many Of the citizens,
among whom are some of the most
prominent, and it seems that majority
Of them will be in favor of such a
move. j. c. Beekman has expressed
himself as being confident that the
bond question will undoubtedly fail
should this item be left out. John
Fassol is certain that it is of para
mount Importance and says that the
Greeks viii go against the bonds if it
IS not the main, leading feature Of
Che issue. However this may be, We
are Of the opinion that this should be
taken into consideration. Personally,
The Leader has always thought that
a bridge at this place was an impera-
tive necessity, However, this is only
an opinion. We should hate to lose
the bonds on this account, and advise
our citizens to analyze the situation
carefully before reaching a decision.

What The Money
From Victory Loan
Is To Be Used For

New York, May 1.-The money rails
ed from the Victory liberty loan will
be used to pay for bringing the Amer
lean troops home from France, the
cost of their rehabilitation, part Of
the war insurance claims of the SOL
diers an dsailors killed or injured in
the fighting, and will furnish funds
for the care of the wounded and for
the vocational training of the MANNED
and other postwar expenses, says a
representative here of the Liberty
Loan committee.
Zone of the biggest items of ex-
pense will be for the transportation
and rehabilitation of the troops, the
cost of which, from the time the arm
istice was signed until the army is re
turned to peace basis, will amount
to approximately $2,320.2 3,0O0," he
adds in a statement. "There were
about 100000 men overseas when
the lighting ended. According to the
army transportation experts, it will
cost $500 q man to bring them from
the fighting lines in France and Bel
giu INTO their homes in the United
States. This will make the total
transportation bill $400,00O,000, Of
which $128,O00,OOO represents the fare
of the soldiers in France, $124,000000
their fare across the Atlantic, and
$148,000,000 their transportation from
1t Will take at least ten months
the army authorities say, to complete
the rehabilitation of the troops from
! overseas. Their maintenance in that
period, including housing, clothing
and food, will amount to about 81 ,OO0,-
100000, of which $279,428,130 will be
for food.
'The rehabilitation transportation
and maintenance of soldiers who did
not get to France, will amount to
1926, 273,00O, bringing the total for the
whole army to the amount already
stated, $780, 73, 900, which will make
quite hole in the Victory liberty loan
receipts.
There are about 100000 sick and
wounded soldiers still being cared for
in the government hospitals. The per
capita cost Of caring for these patients
is figured by the army medical de-
pa1tment at $275, which brings the
total cost of those now undergoing
treatment to $145,0OO,00O. There are
eighty army hospitals in the United
States. The cost of their operation
ranges from few hundred thousand
to a million dollars a year each.
The amount Of war risk insurance

S37 900, 100000. The claims already
filed amount to $5,000,000. If all the
soldiers, numbering approximately
$4,000, who were killed in action, or
died of wounds, accident and disease,
were insured for the full amount of
$4,000 each permitted under the plan.
their claims would aggregate $725,-
100000. Payments on these claims
will be made at the rate of $50 a
month to the dependents of each SOL
dier which calls for the expenditure
OF S43,5OO,O00 year for about six
teen years. However, it is not proba-
tie that many of these claims, II of
the thousands of others that will be
filed by soldiers disabled in the war,
will be acted upon in time to make
much of drain upon tire proceeds of
the Victory loan.
"The federal board for vocational
training, which the government has
established to care for disabled men
after their discharge from the army
or navy and train them to earn a live
lihood will cost several million dollars
a year TO maintain. Already 10000

"Other expenses to be met out of
the proceeds of the Victory liberty
loan will be the purchase of wheat at
the guaranteed price of 1925 bushel,
and extension of credit to the coun-
tries associated with US in the war to
enable them to purchase war material
and other property of the United
States in countries which is no longer
essential to this government. Funds

also will be needed for the upkeep and
other expenses of the navy since the
signing of the armistice and for the
operation of the railroads. In addi-
ton to these military costs, the civil
expenses of the government are run
ming at about $2,OOO,OOO,OOO a year."

 The art of diamond cuttine vas discovered by Louis De Berghem, who introduced the original style of cut ting. Previous to this the orenta1s had improved the stones by simply ruoblng them together. Following the discovery of diamond cutting various forms of cutting were used until about the end of the 17th cen tury when the Venetian-Peruzzi dis covered the modern diamond cutting, which means the laying on of 5S facets Cor sldes) which include the large facet on top called the table" and the small facet on the bottom Known as the culet. There is another form of cutting called the "rose-cut' which has 24 facets but this is only used on the cheaper, smaller stones There is also the iamond ''chips' Which are really small pieces of a diamond with just few facets and 6 flat bottom.

This is placed against a. steel disc covered with diamond dust and oil. The disc makes 2,00O revolutions per minute. In this manner facet after facet is cut in perfect shape. The work is gauged entirely by the eye and not only requires constant attention but great skill, experience and much time.
