time accidentally placed in a hospital
for the insane. where he was forcibly
detained until the error was discov-
cred. He was discharged from the
service June 80, 1920.
With only praise for the govern
ment and the treatment he has re-
ceived, the young man said he was
eagerly waiting for the artificial nose
which the Veterans Bureau Is having
especially constructed for him, and
which will transform his appearance.
Taylor has undergone twenty-five
operations in all. He hopes to re-
turn shortly to Fort Collins, Col, to
his wife and baby, and, although en-
tirely blind in one eye and with only
faint vision In the other, cheerfully
take up the business Of life and make

His face mutilated and torn by
shrapnel, partially rebuilt by plastic
surgery through nine operations, and
now awaiting the artificial nose being
made for him by the Veterans
Bureau. a partly blinded soldier Of
the world war yesterday gave to the
kindly heart Of President Harding. at
the White House yesterday, a distinct
shock.
Reputed to be one of the five worst
cases of the kind In the history of
surgery, the soldier. Orpha Taylor of
Fort Collins, Colo. came to the
White House seeking no favorS AL
though pursued by troubles which
have left him hideousIy SCARED In

Highly Honored.
He was invited by another 70 meet
the chief executive. This to him was
"a high honor, indeed"
President Harding had greeted a
long line of callers from all parts
Of the country, in his private office.
The line filed past him departing by
another door. At the end Of the
line, unknown to the President, was
the pitiably marred veteran.
Busily engaged in speaking to each
person in his line of callers, the Presi-
dent did not notice who was coming
at the last, and, as Is his custom,
turned to grasp the hand Of the boy.
His eyes suddenly looked full into
the war-torn face. He caught his
breath. His eyes filled with tears.
There was an eloquent silence. Then
the chief executive, still grasptng the
"oldier's right hand, placed his left
hand kindly upon the lads shoulder.

Diamond
Flashes

There is a type OF
diamond known in the
trade as "Flasll."
The term is quite de
scriptive, for it s;gni-
fes a diamond designed
to make an ostentatious,
glittering-show.
FLASHES" are usually
inferior stones, cut SO
as to present an expan-
sive surface. Flaws and
carbon spots are Conf
mon, color is apt to be
poor and the worst
"cheapening" point OF
the stone-its shallow
ness is concealed by
the mounting.
From an investment
point OF view, a Flash"
is most unsatisfactory,
as is the case with all in
ferior diamonds. The
value of the "Flash" is
vested largely in the
owners pride OF posses
sion.
The appearance OF
wealth, however, is
often useful both III
business as we'll as So
cial circles. And, un-
questionably, a diamond
indicates prosperity in a
greater degree than any
other possession that
one may display.
The point involved is
simply one of good
business judgment. a
side-by-side comparison
OF a Flash" with a
smaller diamond of fine
quality will impel the
vast majority of people
TO decide in favor Of the
latter.
Fine diamonds, flawless,
OF clear, white color,
properly proportioned
and accurately cut, are
not only priced posses
sions and impressive or
naments. but a safe and
profitable form of in
veStment.
We have been dealing
in these first quality
diamonds for more than
half a century and when
we urge you to consider
quality first when buy
ing a diamond we speak
from a lifetime expert
ence.
In these ffty-odd years
as diamond merchants
we have sought not SIM
ply to please each patron
but to assure them per-
m a n ent satisfaction.
And three generations
of Washington's b e st
people will testify to our
success.
