French scientists see in flooding OF
Paris jewelry market with millions
of dollars worth Of diamonds, issu-
ing from safety deposit vaults of war
profiteers, a sign that French capital
lists are regaining confidence in bust

reliably estimated that 50,OO0,OOO
francs worth of "war-profit" diamonds
have been thrown on the French mar
ket in recent months.
A lumber of cases are on record
where war profteers, skeptical of the
value of French paper money and gov

accounts, ranging from 1,0O0,0O0OOO
to 3,OOO,O 100000 francs, into diamonds.

BALLAD OF BAY OF BIScAY
Ser -Four Long Days We've Stood
the CAT" Writes Sailor In
Rhymins Log.

Capt. Frank Rufus Pendleton, first
oRicer Of the freight steamer Andra'
Is handy with the pen and finds II
easy to keep the log in rhyme. In
a letter to his place in Belfast, Me-,
he thus describes the Andra's passage
across the Bay OF Biscay, according
to a Bangor (Me.) dispatch TO the
New York World.
THE Bay OF Biscay's on the bum,
Old Neptune he is full Of rum. and
we are sorry to have come into the
Bay Of Biscay. We're nearly full or
Biscay brine; we swallow quarts from
time TO time; / think we're picked
for all time with salty, bitter Biscay.
The skipper at the clouds does
stare; he jumps around and tears his
hair, and says 'twould make an angel
swear, this - old Bay Of Biscay. Inc
chief looks DER his bunkers sharp,
and says that it would be no lark II
coal should fall short on this ark, In
this old Bay Of Biscay. Five passen-
gers are with us here, and they have
given up, fear, all they've eaten
for a year to hungry, hungry Biscay.
Our parson puts all tears to rout, ne
trusts in God, his heart is stout, but
wants to swing the lifebOat out, for
the devil rules old Biscay. The good
ship at the seas does bound; she tries
In vain to knock them down, then
backs away and goes out round the
mountainous seas of Biscay.
'FOr days and days we bob around,
our only motions up and down, the
old ship makes a - poor clown
for acrobatic Biscay. The cooks are
having lots OF fun as after pots and
pans they run, but dinners always
sure to come, they are the cooks Tor
Biscay. The engineers down in the
hole, they only say gol blame my soul,
lust you see this old ship roll, on
bloody, bloomin' Biscay. For four long
days we've stood the gaff, but not dis
outraged, no, not half; we're getting
used to Biscay's chaff, well soon be
out of Biscay. There's one thing sure
I've lots of time to put this old Day
into rhyme; we'd rather put it far be-
hind, this restless Bay of Biscay.
.aThe good old ship she isn't weak
old Biscay cannot make her leak, or
even make her timbers creak; she
defies the Bay Of Biscay. She's load
ed deep with iron ore, it tries her to
the very core; she doesn't even pinch
a door, she laughs at rough old Bis
cay. Our company says the caps a
dear, as to the channel we draw near
because from Biscay he's won clear,
a conqueror of Biscay. Now. today
the weather's fine, we're leaving Bis
cay far behind; so l will close this
awful rhyme, and bid good-by to
RiScaY."

recently, a marriage was annulled, the
bride committed suicide and the bride

Rabbi Joseph Louwisch was born In
Russia, and he lived there many years
before he came to America. Before he

Levine, "a pure, faithful, lovely girl"
as he describes her.
Last year l sent for her to come
here and be my wife," the rabbi said.
"She had promised herself to me before
we parted. l never loved any one
else then or since, and she had never
cared for a man up to that time.
"She arrived on the steamer United
States from Danzig, August "A. Inc
following day we were married by
civil ceremony on Ellis Island Shewa
appeared to be the same lovely girl
she always was, and was happy be-

"But the Jewish ritual requires GER

civil marriage, Shewa and / separated

Coal Mine Burning Since 1859.

Coal Mine Burning Since 1859.
). There is burning coal mine be-
fEeen Summit Hill and Coldale, Pa
The fire started one morning in Feb
ruary, 1859, when miner entering
Slope No. of the Lehigh Coal h
Navigation company's mine stopped
to warm his chilled fingers at a fire
burning in a heap of rubbish. That
fire is still burning.
Engineers, generations of them
have fought the fire and 1t breathed
it's sulphurous breath into their faces,
and went on devouring coal. The
stockholders of the Lehigh company
are willing to pay roundly for the
services of a successful fireman, for
the company certainly does want that
fire put out.
Many schemes to check the fire
have been tried, and the latest is
simplicity itself; that is, on paper.
Taking the fuel away from the fire by
means of tunnel which will cut
through the vein being consumed now
is planned. When the fire arrives at
the tunnel there will naturally be no
coal, and no coal, no fire. 1t appears
simple. but some of the best engineer
ing talent In the world is busy on that
tunnel. which is considered one of the
most gigantic undertakings of its
kind.

STEELE BILL
is ENDORSED
Federal Trade Commissioner Colve'

Appears to Offer

limited Press Leased Wire Service. ]
NEW YORK, Jan. 16.-The Steele
bill, permitting business concerns to
file a declaration Of Intentions be-
fore launching new enterprise, as
a defense against the inflexibility Of
the antitrust laws, was endorsed to-
day by William B. Colver, member of
the federal trade commission.
Laws made to apply to business
are Of necessity fnflexible while
business changes day by day" Col
yer said in speech before the In

Manufacturers
What is good for one industry is
bad for another So it is that we
have a body Of antitrust laws drawn
to meet certain kinds Of business,
but in the very nature Of their draw.
ing, so inflexible as to work hard
ship. There is agitation for repeal
of the antitrust laws. I am certain
that public sentiment will not con-
slider this, and I am certain it would
not be wise If it wese possible.
"For the federal trade commission
or any other body. public or private,
to attempt to rule in advance upon
the effect of any unperformed act
would require both the gift OF prophe-
cy and clairvoyance.
"The Steele bill introduced in con-
gress at the last session. and reintro-
duced in the present session, appeals
to me as offering a reasonable solu-
ton. It proposes that any concern
about to embark in any course OF
conduct may come voluntarily to the
government and set out clearly what
it intends to do. He may then go
back and carry on his business, and
the license granted shall be a COM
plete defense in any court against
any charges of breach Of law This
means the very worst that could hap
pen would be that a concern would
be put back in the same position as
before it had evoked the Steele de-
vice"
