 A rush such as frontier America knew in it's free-land days, but in this case to peg out claims in newly discoy cred diamond field was mentioned in re- cent dispatches from South Afraca. This new diamond country opens up possi- bilities of arrival to the great Kimberly diamond field in the same general re- zion, the worlds greatest source of the sparkling white gem |

 "The mines at Kimberly" says the bulletin, "are in very ancient volcanoes which ages ago lost all semblence of ae- tivity. But during their youth the heat and pressure of these volcanoes created gigantic laboratories in their depth in Which thousands of the hard white carbon crystals, which are dia- monds, were created

One little girl was much interested in the book reading contest. However she wasn't interested to the extent that she would make the effort to read the ten books necessary to receive diploma.

 assert that they have never found a dia- mond in this way. AS the blue ground weathers it crumbles and great harrows like those used on the bonanza farms of the west are dragged over 1t to facilitate the process.
 Eventually the material is broken down Into relatively fine particles. It is then taken in 1truckloads to the mechan- ical plant of the mine for treatment. The ground is mixed with water in great mix ing machines and passed over screens of fine wire meshing

of the mails. It kas step taken against the protest of those who were lonlsine for an improvement in the pos-i tai service rather than additional handi- cans. but MT. Burleson was not to be- turned from his course in the interest of service and the result was that the tubes were discarded. The contract for their use had expired and was not re- newed.
 The mail which had been handled by the tubes had to be gotten from 51s point to another somehow, and sub- stitute service had to be established win motor trucks employed for this purpose While. the tubes delivered the mail u1- derrround and without interference with the highway traffic, the placing of thu necessary mail trucks in the streets not only added to the danger but increased the congestion. It was move that not only produced poorer postal service but increased the traffic problem of the me tropolis and other cities. In New York 1t meant twice the number of mai. trucks
 When the question of restoring the ef- ficiency of the mail service was brought up. it was in keeping with expectations when the commission that :nVssesRasSss the tubes decided that their service should be resumed, and it is quite natu- ral that along with the improvement which those depending upon qtsfck ser vice expect, that there should be a well coming of the traffic relief which will come through the removal os half the mail trucks.
 This means the restoration of an inn proved and speedy handling of the mails and the expectations are that it will be continued until it can be shown that there is something better.

sHrpBU1LDING sLUMPs.

From the report furnished by Lloyd's Register of Shipping, shipouilding is on the decline. This doesn't apply to the United States but to other countries where more shipbuilding is done. In this country the figures show no change in the past three months but the situa- tion here is but a tri1e different than 1t was before the war We have coAQe out of the struggle with a great tonnage of ships, nearly a quarter of which are idle.-and the result is that shipbuilding is back about where it was and not at as high figure as might be expected for replacement purposes alone.
 How soon this condition will change, if there is to be a change for the bet ter, win probably depend upon the re- suit of proposed and certain other need ed legislation We have a merchant marine but until it gets the same en- couragement and like opportunity tc compete with foreign shipping we are not going to get the real benefit fro- 1 it.
 There are laws which now place bur dens upon American shipping which d. not encourage placing vessels under orl flag and there are advantages which arr provided the foreign shippers which IL not exist here. Until some effort i made to counteract these conditions i can hardly be expected that there vii be any great increase in shipbuildinl over and above what prevailed durfn; the days before the war.

A statement of much importance Is that which was made by W. G. L. president of the brotherhood of train men. when in announcing that the Big Four transportation brotherhoods hal come to a recognition of the fact that they were pursuing a wrong course and henceforth there would be a new align ment and a return to the old plan of lealing with the roads separately.
 This means that they have taken a lesson from the recent strike and giges assurance that there will be no danger of a nationwide strike from them. It is not stated whether any influence was had by the moves which have been or are being made in behalf of Legislation lhst would prevent the tying up of es- lentiai industries What MT. Lee does Iay, however, is to the point when he de- slares; "A nationwide railroad strike is not possible today. It costs the ra'i- loads and the unions which indulge in < mofe than they can afford to lose. Tae lhopmen's strike proved that. When d nrilSe gets SO big that it cannot be co l. rolled then the government will step ir md control. 1t. This results generally in legislation detrimental to all concern id."
 Tho head of the trainmen recognizes Tho facts. He understands that there k l public concern in such attempts to in. ierrupt transportation or anything e;se sn a countrywide scale and that 1t is tn; public's interest that the government il bound to look after. The idea of hold. ng up and throttling the country for m. Justified demands ought not to be enter lained, cannot be tolerated and MT. Le.
