DINGY STREET
is RICH MARKET
Hatton Garden Trades in
Precious Stones Like
Street PeddIers.

LONDON, Jan. 18.-There is a dingy,
smoke ridden street in London, passed
unnoticed by thousands Of Londpners,
vet it is the richest open air market in
London. In Hatton Garden precious gems
are bought and sold with the free and
easy air of a cOster- monger selling ba-
uanas, who, by the way, sells his fruit
in the same street with far more osten-
tation than does the Jewel broker when
he disposes OF his priceless atoms.
There is no stall in this market In
cafes, d0orways or in the streets are
the bargains struck One man will pro
duce a tiny morseI wrapped in tissue
paper. It's contents may be worth thou
esands OF dollars. The prospective buyer
adjusts his optical glasses and tips the
precious bundle into the palm of his hand
End infinitely examines the contents
Then the bargaining begins. and the
gems, carelessly wrapped again, either
change hands or are thrust back again
into a spare waistcoat pocket. Although
.he deals made incur several thousands
Of dollars, the profits as a rule are very
small. The dealers know the game from
to z. But it is not a market where
'he ordinary public can pick bargains
Let the enthusiastic amateur attempt
to buy in this very ordinary looking
street and he is asking for trouble and
will get it. There are many crooks
awaiting him. The established dealer
knows the crook and the crook knows
the dealer and lets him severely alone
They are very small but a very select
society in Hatton Garden
Although diamonds and other precious
stones are handled in the broad daylight
st is seldom that any of the stones are

VOLSTEAD ACT
ENFORCED OVER
MOST OF NATION
Methodist Leader Asserts Pro-
hibition Far From Being
Failure.

CHICAGO, Jan. 18.-Prohibition is far
from the failure anti-Yolstead act en-
thusiasts would have you believe.
In nineteen Of the area Of the country
prohibition is very stringently enforced,
and in the remaining one-tenth the work
is progressing at a gratifying rate and
demon rum will soon become a thing Of
memory only.
/ Take this from the research secretary
Sof the board of prohibition, temperance
and public morals Of the Methodist Epis-
copal Church.
An investigation Of conditions the
country over, in which reports were made
ly 10000 heads of churches aud uumer-
Gus leaders Of the 10000 600 laymen is
the basis for the claims of the Methodist
Church.
ENORMOUS
DECREASE IN DRINK.
There has been an enormous decrease
in the consumption of liquor, a decrease
Of not less han eighty five per cent and
+Nan ninety per cent, it
has been shown by the investigation"
Is Picket, research sec

In San Francisco prohibition decreased
arrests for drunkenness in its first year
from II ,354. to 1874; in Los Angeles from
1880 to 2,5S9; in Boston from 81 So to
16, 4S7. We have similar reports from
Washington, st Paul, Lincoln. Calves
ton and other cities.
There has also been decrease in more
serious crimes in many cities. I have
it on the authority Of the pulice commits
sioner Of New York that in 1918 there
were 11,611 burglaries; IN 1920 there were
only $3.50. This official also makes SINH
lar statements as to the arrests on other
charges.
POVERTY HAS
BEEN LESSENED.
"There has been a startling decrease
in poverty and financial distress. The
hospitals have been relieved. In PhiIadel-
phia during the last wet six months
there were 1854 cases Of alcoholism in
: general hospitals and in the same months
ethe next year 276. Similar reports have
been received from other cities.
Private distillation and brewing, while
they worry prohibition officers, are
Insignificant. In America only few fami-
lies Of German extraction can make palat-
able beer. Whisky, illicitly produced, is
so nearly nonpalatable that only ha-
bitual alcoholics can consume~it.
prohibition is relative success now
and is on the road to complete success y

The diamond owner promptly bought
from the saloon keeper the whole Of his

then had it carefully sifted and the dia-

ternal Revenue Service.
THE act provides that a married per
son living with husband or wife whose
net income for 1921 was $1,000 or less
shall be allowed a personal exemption Of
81. 900. If the net income for such per
son was over 5000 the exemption is 81

Revenue Act of 1918 the personal ex-
emption allowed a married person was

"For example. on net income OF

sTOCKBRIDcE BUILDING A
MODERN BUNGALOW ON G

Mr. Stockbridge, Of the Lubbock
Creamery is aiding his lot to the
development :: Lubbock, as his new
six-room, modern bungalow in the
east part Of town is nearing com
pletion, and certainly adds greatly
to the appearance OF that section.
B. T Higginbotham, local con-
tractor was adding the finishing
touches 10 the building when we
called on him Wednesday morning.
and the building will be ready for
the occupants before many days.
The builders and contractors Of
Lubbock seem 10 have formulated
some plan whereby they got a little
closer together within the past sew
eral weeks, as is seen from the fact
that all hands have been busy carry
ing out their gigantic building pro-
gram.
There's plenty room IN Lubbock
for new buildings, and plenty OF
people who have the necessary funds
to build, and without a doubt tins
summer will be the greatest period
OF development this little city has
known.
We frankly believe that the
growth of Lubbock within the next
two years will be greater than in
any other five years Of the past.
People of Lubbock believe in their
home town and are saying II with
buildings.
Come TO Lubbock.
