Senator Carlson returned from

Good roads enthusiasts this morn

would be constructed within a short
time Formal letting OF the con-
tract has not taken place and no
date has been fixed for that formal

indicated his definite action al
though his recent attitude has given
hope that the work will be under
taken, those in touch with the local
situation say.
The combination highway-known
to the department as Combination G

mile stretch in Henry county will

to the low bid.

SANITATION is
NEEDED; HEAT
CAUSESDANCER
Fftzsimmons and WITCH Determined
That Alleys Must be Kept
Clean.

Commissioner William H. Fitz-
simmons, in charge of the depart
ment of public health and safety
and Commissioner Frank WITCH. in
charge of the department Of streets
and public improvements, Joined in
a request today that citizens renew
precautions in establishing sani-
tary conditions in alleys.
With the mercury around the loo
mark. the commissioners declare
that alleys must be kept absolute
ly clean to reduce danger OF dis
ease epidemics.
Commissioner WITCH calls atten-
ton to the fact that he expended g
large sum of money last spring tc
clean up the alleys, and that in
doing so many conditions were
abated that would now have meant
danger to health.
Many people have been abiding
by the order to keep tin cans and
bottles in containers and refrain
from throwing rubbish into the al
levs. However, some are getting
careless. and there are several in
stances where waste matter or var
ious kinds has been placed in the
alleys.
Warns on Garbage Placement.
Commissioner Fitzsimmons de-
clared that while the majority OF
citizens are abiding by his order
governing the placing of garbage
in the alleys, others are placing
garbage in uncovered cans, and
general bad condition is prevailing
around such premises.
He warns that garbage must be
drained and wrapped in paper anc
then placed in covered cans. The
commissioner also urges that citi-
zens take time occasionally tC
clean the outside of the cans anc
to place a few drops of kerosene
or other mixture over the cans tc
keep flies from gathering.

Diamonds Likely
to Maintain Price

CHICAGO. Dec 10.-Secoud hand dia-
monds bought up by merchants in Europe
from bankrupt princely families and
distress diamonds bought during
prosperity and now thrown on the mar
ket In America and other countries, win
have no appreciable effect in reducing
tthe price Of diamonds. These gems have
come into the market In considerable
quantities. Large quantities Of diamonds
came out Of Russia. The Jewels Of the
crown collection il is believed, have been
cut up TO hide their identity and sold
throughout the world by the Bolshevist.
During the war period Of bonanza
wages the world went diamond crazy. As
soon as they got a little more money
than enough to live on people rushed to
jcwelry shops to buy diamonds. For the
first time in history, diamonds became A
popular jewel among the working classes.
II. the present industrial depression many
Of these diamonds are being sold.
While the aggregate value Of these re-
sold diamonds OF impoverished mobiles
and no longer affluent laboring men IS
large, they are a mere drop in the bucket
in the worlds diamond market. If one
buys from private individuals one may
chance to pick up a bargain. But trade
prices of diamonds will not be affected
by these gems.
The syndicate which markets the en-
tire rough output of the South African
mines and controls diamond prices has
announced that the price Of diamonds
will not come down. This is the ultima
tum a monopoly. 1t means exactly what
1t says. There can be no appeal from
It. Traders must buy at the syndicate's
price and sell at a corresponding price
or 90 out Of business.

FAIL TO APPEAR

In city court the cases. against the
two men were continued until Nov. 3. On
that date they were again continued I'M
til Dec. 10. However, it was discovered
when the defendants failed to appear In
city court today that the date of judg-
ment was Dec. o." and that charges
against both Short and Hilgemeir were
continued indefinitely.
Inquiries made of Judge Walter Pritch-
ard brought the answer that as he re-
membered it no prosecuting witnesses
appeared against either Hilgemeir or
Short and therefore the cases were con-
tinued indefinitely. The judge did not
explain how a prosecuting witness could
appear in court five days previous to the
date set for the trial unless special
forthwith subpeoenas were issued.
The police officers who made the ar
rest were Motor Cops Landers and VII

U. S. Well Equipped
to Build AirShips

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1o-Inventions
and assets which give the United States
a tremendous advantage in the construc-
ton Of lighter than air craft such as
the FRI, now building, are being rapidly
developed by Government experts, it be-
came known today.
The United States already has inyalu-
able assets in the event such a building
program is ever required. First, there
is the helium plant, in the southwestern
part Of the country, which can eventually
develop enough Of this new substitute
for hydrogen to float all the ships we can
build for the air. Helium is an exclusive
United States product and is a consider
able advance over hydrogen as a vapor
for imitation Of the airship, being both
safer and lighter.
In addition to helium. American inven-
tors have just reported remarkable prog
ress in the development of a substitute
for so-called gold heaters skin" which
is used for making tho gas cells Of air
ships Gold beaters' skin is made from
certain parts Of the cow, and in the case
Of the wrecked ZR-2 more than 100000
cows furnished the material for the gas
cells. substitute for this material
would save the cows worry, besides saw
ing a lot of money and labor, being much
cheaper and in some cases even superior
to the original articles.
Progress IS also being made on n
cheaper dope" which is used on the ex-
terror of airplanes and also in the de-
yelopment of waterproof glue.
All these inventions and resources are
calculated to put the United States far
in the lead should It ever become neces-
sary.
