DIAMOND RUSH LIKE OLD
TIMES ON IN CALIFORNIA
New Diamond Field In South Africa
Scene of Great Rush Like
Those of the West.

London-Two men were killed and
scores injured in the diamond rush
which occurred in Taunga district in
South Africa, according to reports re-
ceived from johannesburg.
The rush, the greatest in the history
of the diamond industry, was accom-
panied by scenes of extraordinary ac-
tivity. The widest excitement prevail
ed among the prospective diggers.
among whom were inlucded men rep
resentative of practically every bust
ness and profession nthe union. Many
of these men formed themselves into
holiday syndicates" and the demand
for professional runners was great
Hundreds of police were imported to
the Tapping district by the authorities
in order to cope with the unprecedent-
ed russh, and, considering the magni-
tude of the undertaking, comparativell
little trouble was experienced.
AS the pegging ground was some
distance from the starting point the
crowd lined up and awaited the signal
to go. At the crack of the pistol the
race started and the large area was de-
marcated by the diggers in almost rec
ord time. Experts say the new field
will be the most productive in the
world judging from esults already

fail to be made in the height of the
fashion. Let us have recourse to duck,

The movement, begun among the
members of the bank staff, was taken
up enthusiastically by all the mem
bers, from the directors, throughout
all ranks. announced in the press, it
has been welcomed by the public, and
shows clear signs of having caught on.

ECONOMY WAVE
IN CLOTHING
HITS PORTUGAL
Campaign Is Launched In Southwest
European County To Forget
the Fashions.

Lisbon. 49, Portugal as all the world,
has been swept since the war by a
wave of luxury. 1t is going down. To-
day in its place the call is for econ
omy and work.
Recently there was launched ma
tional initiative for economy in dress.
1t came from the banks. Nothing could
be more timely more significant, or
more wise. When the banks preach
economy the lesson is likely to he
heard. The best of all counsellors,
sowever, is example, and the strongest
feature of the present movement is
that not limiting themselves to the
mere preaching of the need for ma
tional economy-by others-the bank
employees have decided to begin by
themselves giving the example.
The price of clothes has been run up
eXobritantly in Lisbon and throughout
the country. A pair of boots costs to-
day what before the war would have
hired a comfortable fiat. A full suit is
the figure of what was years rental.
The tax levied upon all for decent
clothing is enormous.
The bank clerk takes rank every
where-and by right-among the aris-
tocracy of work. He is as rule well
dressed and something of a dandy, The
Portuguese bank clerks-commencing
with those of the Banco Nacional VI?
tramarino-who have the honor of the
original initiative--have resolved on
the adoption of plain duck and khaki
suitings, as hitherto worn by the en-
gineer and the operative at work, alike
on service and for general wear.
The founders of the movement is
sued circulars for the signature of all
those who adhered to it, under the
title of Let us simplify our dress" In
this they state: at is urgent that each
OF us, as far as in him lies, should con-
tribute to prevent the incessant in
crease in the cost of living. 1t is not
enough to repeat at every moment that
living is dear, that prices continue to
