New York. Dec. 3.-Writing in the

f. Ball tells an Interesting story about
the worlds diamonds. Their sources
are scattered pretty widely over the
globe, but with the exception of Two
or three of the biz South African
mines the gems are found generally
as the result of small operations. Mr.
Ball writes:
Diamonds are much more widely

INTEREST IN The JOB

In the days before large-scale pro-
uction and division of labor, man
took q particular interest in his job
because he could see the result of his
work. He could see the finished pro-
duct and could say with pride. Il
made it," His work gave him a chance
for self-expression. He could work
out his own IDEAS and could take a
pride in them. When he built q
house he buik it after his own plan
and put his own individuality into the
work. 1t may not have looked as well
to the rest Of the world as the more
modern dwellings which are built &C.
cording to plans laid down by experts
but 1t was his own product and took
more interest in it.
1t Is the nature Of man to create
and to take q pride in what he creates.
When he does this he will not grow
weary of the job. The boy making
his sled does not think of how long
the day is or Of how many hours he
puts in at the job. He can hardly be
called away to his meals. The more
primitive man did not think of the
hours as long as he was creating. The
farmer does not object to long hours
because he is accomplishing some
thing he can point to with pride.
One Of the reasons for low produc-
tion today is the fact that men do not
take an interest in their work. They
do not take an interest because they
can see no results which they can
call the work of their own hands.
Children do not take the proper in
terest In school work in many cases
because it is so abstract. The school
which offers work in domestic science,
agriculture and manual training is the
one which is giving the children some
thing which interests them and causes
them to get great deal out Of their
schooling. They can see what they
really accomplish.
The fact that there is such q lack of
things about the work men do today
to interest them is all the more reas-
on they should do all they can to take
an interest in their vocation what
ever 1t may be. The employer should
make every effort to interest his men
in their work and show them in every
way possible what their individual
part Of the finished product means to
humanity as 4 whole.
Work is the expression Of sek and
IT is only by self-expression that man
can live and grow. He will not take
the greatest interest in his work and
Is likely to cease to take interest in 1t
unless he can say, 1T is mine. 4

created 1t with my own mind"

FLU NOT FATAL
SPANISH TYPE
State Physician; Points to FeW
Deaths as Proof.

The epidemic of influenza in Chicago
and in many nothern Indiana cities is
not the same type of influenza that
swept the country last year, DR.. William
F. King, assistant secretary of the state
board of health, said today. He said that
not one case of Spanish influenza had
been reported officially in Indiana.
There are undoubtedly a large num-
ber of cases of influenza at this time,"
DR.. King said. "These cases are what
ordinarily would be termed grippe. They
are not the same type as the disease
which caused so many deaths last year"
AS proof of his statement DR.. King
pointed to the fact that there have been
only a few deaths in Chicago and none
in the Indiana cities where so many
cases of the disease have been reported.

Safety of Those Aboard.

BOSTON. Jan. 2O.-Uneasiness over the
safety of the 271 passengers and 200
members of the crew of the disabled

paired and her engines again began to
work and proceeded to New York.
NEW YORK, Jan. 2O.-The disabled

COAL OWNERS
NOT PROFTTING,
SAYS PALMER
High Prices Only on Contracts
Previously Existing, He
Declares to Public.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20-Attorney
General Palmer today absolved the coal
operators from blame for high prices OF
coal, in a statement issued at the de-
Partment of justice.
at Is true said Palmer that in some
sections Of the country a larger price is
being charged for coal than that fixed
by the fuel administration. This makes
it appear as If the operators had added
the IA per cent increase in wages to the
price of coal.
Where the price is greater than the
fuel administration price, it is caused
by the fact that the operator alleges that
the coal was bought on contract before
Oct 81. 1919, which contract coal was ex-
cepted from the government price by an
order issued by DR.. Garfield on Nov. II"
INDUSTRIES STILL
SUFFER FROM STRIKE.
Although bituminous coal is being
mined at a greater rate than at any time
In four years, American industry is hav-
ing a hard time to recover from the Grip
ping effects of the recent strike, accord
ing to government reports today.
In some parts OF the country steel mills
have been forced to close for lack of fuel.
Geological survey Officials said the short
age would continue until manufacturing
plants sre able to build up a reserve.
This may take several weeks.
SHORTAGE PARTLY DUE
TO CAR FAMINE.
A car famine is partly responsible for
the fuel shortage. Railroad officials said
today the car supply is rapidly Icing
returned to normal. The car shortage Is
a result of the coal strike they declare.
During the strike 1t was necessary to
send many cars to far western states
with coal mined in the east. 1t is a diff
ficult task to get these cars back prompt
ly, 1t was explained.
Union miners, officials agreed, are doing
their utmost to increase production while
the national coal commission is at work
here deciding whether they shall be al
lowed wage increase greater than the
IA per cent offered by Former Fuel Ad-
ministrator Garfield.

CONFEREES ON
PEACE TREATY
NEARDEADLOCK
LenrOOt Voting Reservation
Threatens to Block Com
promise Effort.
SPONSORS DETERMINED

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2o.-Republican
and democratic conferees on treaty COM
promise today were approaching a dead
lock-
The immediate cause Of the impasse
threatens to be the Lenroot reservation,
providing that the United States shall
not be bound by any decision of the
league of nations in which any country
casts more votes than the United States.
The reservation, which is included in the
Lodge program, is designed to prevent
the British empire having six votes to
one for the United States in the league
assembly. In the league council the
votes are equal
When the conferees reassembled today
this question was before them. Previous
discussions had failed to bring about any
change.
COVERS BITTERLY
CONTESTED POINT.
This reservation covers one of the
most hotly contested points in the long
treaty debate in the senate. 1t was
passed as a substitute for the johnson
amendment to the treaty which was
beaten by only three votes. Its propo-
nents in the present conference are de-
termined it shall not be modified in any
substantial way. If it is, they declare
the compromise worked out will not get
sixty-four votes.
The conferees avoided the Lenroot res
ervation until Monday. although they
touched on every other point at previous
sessions, 1t became apparent early in
the discussion. senator's said, that the
differences were serious and this and not
article ten may be the rock on which the
hope of compromise VIII come to grief.
CONFEREES HOPE. ..-..--~--,- -a---.---
FOR AGREEMENT.
Senator Lodge, in whose Office the meet
ings are being held. said that "all the
conferees, with the possible exception OF
one, earnestly desire that the conversa-
tions shall continue" They realize he
said. that IF this group can not agree,
no group can," and that with the failure
Of the present effort all compromise eff
forts will fail"
Lodge. in commenting on a statement
by Senator Underwood that he would
wait to see the outcome of the bipartisan
discussion before calling up his resolu-
tion for an official conciliation commit
tee, said that if the bipartisan move fails.
Underwood may as well not call up his
resolution, for it will do him no good"

FEARS LYNCHING,
JUDGE BARS DOOR
EUen Reporters Denied En-

LARAMIE, Wyo., Jan. 20.-Fear that

hind closed doors. Newspaper reporters
