 The value of the diamonds in the United States at the grssens eoe oso fme aoo early as 1900 distinguished diamond expert Of the United States said 'ft may be safely said that $500.000.000 worth of diamonds are owned in the United States" and compilation made by his Bank shows that the value of diamonds imported since 1900 is s50e .000, 900. This alone would bring the total value of the diamond of the country above the billion dollar line, but when it is remembered that $1So,- 100000 worth of the diamonds import
 ed since 1900 came in the uncut state. and that their value was doubled by the cutting process which occurred within this country, it is apparent that the value of the stock in he country is considerably more than $1.000. .000.- 900, to say nothing of the further fact that prices of diamonds have increas- ed materially during the war.
 About oue-half of the worlds dia-1 monds ar enow apparently owned in the United States. An estimate made in 1900 by the authority above quoted put the value of the worlds stock of diamonds at rather more than $10oo,- 100000, and indicated that the United States then owned about one third of the total known sock. With the rapid additions to our own stock through the importation of $550 900, 900 worth since 1900 it seems probable that fully one half of the worlds stock of diamonds is now held in the United States.

What is . Comet?

In connection with widespread spec ulation regarding the possibility that the comet discovered by New Eng land clergyman while he was spend ing his vacation studying the stars is the Brorsen comet, observed in 1S47, the National Geographic Society has issued, from it's Washington headquar- ters, bulletin, which quotes from a communication by William Joseph Showalter. who calls Halley's comet to an imaginary witness stand. and personifies it's testimony as follows:
 Yes, I'm a comet For countless generations I had been swinging through space. When I approached the earth men believed me a messenger of evil. They knew precious little about me or my kind. In 1882 I ap- realms bounded by the earth's orbit A little before that sI. Isaac Newton had worked out the fundamental prin- cipiesciple of celestial mechanics, namely, the law of gravitation.
 He had a friend by the name of Haley This man undertook to see whether or not I was subject to that law. and whether. indeed, Newtons interpreta tion of it was correct. Look ing back over the twenty four comets that had been recorded as invading the precincts of space set aside for the earth, he found that three of them had traveled similar path and all the others diverse paths
 Applying Isaac Newton's law to me, he said that was travelling thirty-fou miles a second when I was nearest the sun, and that ! had turned round and was headed for the regions whence I had come. He said. I would travel out into space some three billion miles, my gait slowing down as journeyed, and that when I got ready to make the turn to come back I would be loafing along at the celestial snails pace of a mile a second.
 Furthermore, he figured out my mass and many other details about me. Then he said that if he was right I would come back in about seventy six years, the exact month of my con1- ing depending on how much influence Jupiter and other plants would have upon me, which he had not had time to

You, Too, Want That
 Endurance

Super-Six tests were made not so much with the idea of winning records as to establish the limits of its endurance.
 Each harder test was step up in the trials, thinking it would show just how far the Super-Six could be pushed before tearing itself to pieces But no test has yet proved that. Not even did the trans-continental run from San Francisco to New York develop it's endurance limits In fact the seven passenger touring car although having made the run in hours less time than any car before or since has made it, was turned back and completed the round trip in 10 days and 2t hours
 But a thing those tests did help in doing was to bring the Hudson up to the standard of the Super Six motor.
 Such motor required better car design, better axles, better qualities and higher standards than were needed with the usual type It resulted final ly, in the present Hudson Super-Sx

It Prevents Motor SeIf-Destruction

Motor vibration is minimized by the Super-Six patented principle. It accounts in part Hudson's smooth riding and for it's endurance.
 It also increases the useful power of the motor by 72fo. The power that is absorbed within the motor in vibration, is through the SupeT-Sx prir- cple, made available for propelling the car.
 Thus with comparatively small motor, the Hud- son Super-Six has established endurance, speed and mountain climbing records never equalled by any other stock car
