DIAMOND AUTHORITY
LECTURES ON STONES

Diamonds valued at s33 900 were on
exhibit at the Rotary club meeting
Tuesday noon. They were the prop
erty of Jenkins and company.
The display illustrated with actual
stones, the talk given by Professor
Frank B. Wade head of the chemistry
department of Shortridge high school.
Prof. Wade was introduced by Will
Rindt, who declared that Prof. Wade
was well known authority on dia-
mands and other precious stones.
Replicas of the worlds most famous
diamonds, the purist white, green and
blue, all with a history usually dating
back to empires. were viewed by the
club, while Prof. Wade explained
many interesting features of the
stone.
mo international currency is so
staple as the diamond" said Profess
sor Wade "All through the turmoil
of the world war the value of the dia-
mond did not decrease, but it did in
some instances increase. Because of
their marketability in all countries of
the world they have a universal
value.
Diamonds Staple
Should the value Of the diamond
fall to nothing, the great commercial
interests of the world would 60 to
smash. Every country depends upon
them for duties, taxes and revenues,
They comprise the estate of many of
the largest financial interests. The
price Of diamonds is not likely to go
down despite the decrease in the
prices of some other articles. The
artificial control of their supply to
meet the demands of the public makes
them economically staple"
Prof. Wade said, in answer to a
question, that while the exact method
by which they were formed in the
earth was not known, but that it was
believed by experts that carbon gases
in the stones of the earth were greatly
responsible for their eventually form
ing. He told of methods used in max
ing artificial diamonds, but added that
artificially made diamonds were never
as perfect as those produced by
Mother Earth.
The Rotary club members voted to
| have a letter sent to Herbert Hoover
secretary Of commerce, urging that he
address a mass meeting Of local citi
zens in the Coliseum Monday night
| Aug. Is. 1921. Their action is in &C
cord with similar letters being sent
to Mr. Hoover by other organizations
of the city.
! A favorable report was heard on
the memorial building project for
Wayne county A committee is to be
appointed to cooperate with other in
terested bodies. One hundred dollars
was voted for the Salvation Army
fund.

URGE HOT STORAGE
FOR THINGS Affected
BY INSECTS, NOT HEAT
(By associated PreSS)

MORGANToWN, w. Va, May IT,
Hot" storage as opposed to cold"
storage for many things affected by
insects, but not by heat may be re-
allied soon if the experiments Of
Professor L. M. Pearls, of the depart
ment Of entomology Of the University
OF West Virginia prove entirely salts
factory. Professor Pearls has met with
a great degree of success in showing
the practcibility Of hot storage for
such articles as carpets. clothing, par
ticularly woolens and furs. as we'll as
cereals, dried fruit products and other
materials unaffected by dry heat.
Professor Pearls has used grain and
carpet beetles and other insects Of q
similar nature in demonstrating that
they do not develop at a constant tenn
perature of 100 degrees Fahrenheit. and
in some cases at IS degrees. Even
such forms of insect life as could en-
dure higher temperatures could not
survive constant temperature of from
81 to 100 degrees he said. Thus, he
has concluded that hot storage with a
uniform and constant temperature of
100 degrees would prove more effect
i've than cold storage IN many cases.

Government RULE
OF FOODSTUFFS IS
STOPPED BY LENINE

BERLIN. May 17-Lenine's aban-
Comment of government control of
foodstuffs came too late to relieve
the situation in Bolshevist Russia, &C.
cording to letters received in Berlin
from a family which has lived in
Petrograd throughout the BoIshevist
regime.
THE conditions are worse for us
than they were when food was issued
ON cards. one letter states. I'VE are
told now that we may buy food and
the peasants are told they may sell
food without violating government
regulations. But there are no food
shops. And the peasants about Pet
rograd have little to sell.
Afraid of Future
They even refuse all sorts of man
ufactured articles in exchange for
what little food they may have. They
are afraid to give it up, as they are
not sure that they can get another
crop the coming year.
THE Petrograd district is so ster-
lie that little is produced here in nor
NAL times. Transportation is so bad,
and the peasants in the grain dis
tricts have been so badly treated by
the Bolshevist requisitioning parties,
that the government simply counldn't
continue the small rations il was is
suing on cards. So it told us to do
for ourselves job which it could not
accomplish with all it's power and
military force"
The re-establishment of free trade
and the announcement that govern.
ment restrictions have been reduced
will not put food into cities which
have no supplies, which have no ade-
quate railway connection with grain
districts and no means of reconciling
peasants who attribute most of their
troubles to the two great cities in
Russia, and want to starve them out
