5-Year-Old Girl
Mascot of Ship

Margaret has been twice across the
Pacific, and into and out of most of
the ports of the South seas. She
knows more about geography than the
average college graduate. In short.
Margaret is daughter of the sea.
The whole family Is remarkable
and interesting one. Captain Sterling
might have stepped right out of one of
Peter B. Kyne's "Cappy Kicks" stories,
for every minute of his life is full of
the sort of modern sea business of
which Kyne writes so Interestingly.
His son, Capt. Ray Sterling, would
have come from one of Joseph Con-
RAIDS tales. He might have been the
young master in the story called
youth" He Is quiet, reserved, solidly
built, clear-eyed. capable. thoughtful
and a master seaman.
His wife. Margaret's mother, might
have come out of q novel by Kath-
leen Norris or by William McFie. She
is too pretty for any possible ship
masters wife; she is gracious hos
tess. pleasant. well read, cultured
quiet voiced little Australian girl. full
of fun and jokes an ideal mother and
an unusual wife. Her romance with
the silent, grave, strong young Captain
Sterling is a story by itself. She was
one Of the bellies Of Australia before
her marriage, and 1t is safe to assume
that the captains luck left more than
one young landsman in the Antipodes
forlorn and bereft.
Life Full Of Thrills.
There have been enough adventures
packed into the lives of these people
aboard the e. Il. Sterling to make sew
eral books. They think little of them.
Margaret, the baby, is as blase as an
old salt.
I'm getting perfectly tired Of this
life," she said, with yawn. II pre-
fer to stay ashore and I'm going TO
make daddy give up the ship and come
with us to live IN house soon."
She talks like a woman of twenty at
times. But who wouldn't, II she had
only old sailors and mother and father
to learn with and from, and only saw
other little people once in a blue moon,
when the big barkentine Is tied up Mt
some pier or In some dock discharging
or taking on cargo.
Margaret says she is going to make
the captain stay ashore soon so that
she can go to school and have n back
yard and a sand pile and play with
little girls of her age as much as she
likes.

enbach said, were the beginnings Of
the American land fleet that would
play a great role In any future war.
None of them wds perfected as yet,
he added, but within them were the
elements Of a new day In battle when
machines would take more of the bur-
den from the fighting men.

| lines upon it with black ink. The splitting is done through the flaws and with diamond ax. Or, at least the ax makes the notch by which with soft metal chisel the diamond is split.
 The ax used for cutting the notch has blade on a wood handle. The handle is a diamond stuck in cement on the end of a stick which is not unlike shoemaker's awl. The stone is so inserted as to leave a sharp sur face exposed. As the cement hardens the diamond ax is firmly held. The rough diamond is to be split is then fixed into a similar tool and the cutter scratches the latter again and again at the flaw, making noise as though sharpening gritty slate pencil. Within moment or so notch is cut. The man then sets the stick on which is a rough diamond in a hole in lead plate on the table before him He picks up blade Of steel about an inch wide and about three inches long and fits it's blunt edge into the notch. He then gives the blade slight tap with a steel, bdi dpout d loOI IOlS, dHd lHt WGQSt splits the diamond in two.
 Cutting and Polishing.
 After a diamond has been split it ns ye or rubbed into facets so that it may have the greatest bril- fancy when the light strikes it. Here again one diamond is made to cut another, the polishing being done on flat round plate covered with oil and diamond powder. This plate is grind stone as it were. It flies round more than B times in second and the diamonds are fixed in frames so that they rest just at the right angle upon it. The stones are so inclined that they are ground by the diamond dust into just the shapes best adapt ed to each individual gem. Some are made into rose diamonds, some into squares or irregular cubes and some into the emerald cut. A normal stone has 5S sides or facets, and this is so of diamonds of almost infinitesimal size. About half the weight of each stone is lost in the cutting and pol ishing.
 During my stay I handled some great diamonds as thick as the thumb of giant, and others ranging down to the point of pin. while Mir As scher told me their value ranged from s25O to s70oO carat. He laid before me small teaspoonful of dia- monds each no bigger than the small est grain of lump sugar. Looking at them through strong micro scope l saw that they had been ac- curately and symmetrically cut. 1 was shown square cube diamonds, no larger than the head of the smallest pin you have in your cushion, but nevertheless each had 5S sides. Some of these cubes are so small that it

preceding 1919. In 1920 our imports of diamonds from Amsterdam dropped to the value of thirtyone million dollars, and in 1921 to thirteen mill lions, showing how hard times seri- ously affect the purchase of jewels.
 The Jews Make the Jewels.
 The Jews have the control of the diamond industry of Amsterdam About one- sixth of the people who live in the city belong to that race, and the diamond cutters and work CTS are all Israelites. They are eX perts at the business, having a skill that has descended from father to son through many generations. Their wages are comparatively low all though hiEher than in other branches of industry along similar lines. Am sterdam has scores of factories and more than ten thousand diamond workers are employed.
 The diamond cutters are far more trustworthy than the men who work in the mines. Of course, great care is taken in admitting strangers to the factories. but the cutter himself gives only a receipt for such dia- monds as he is to handle during the day, and this must be checked up when he leaves. The factories are not surrounded by guards day and night as are the floors of great fields in South Africa, where the diamond studded clay lies out under the sun. The cutters are not compelled to live in the works, as in the Kimberley dig gings, nor are they stripped to the skin and searched from toes to crown when they leave. In fact. thefts of diamonds by the men and women who cut and polish these valuable stones are less on the average than the losses through the clerks of our banks.
