suggested.
 . One of tho suggested projects which will be found close to the top of the "chest" when 1t Is reopened, as 1t probably will be some day. is that of a proposed flight from the West Coast of Hawai-. It may be that this proposal will be given seri- ous study next spring, or summer. Army fliers realize, however. that the Pacific. because of the order of things existing between tho land and naval forces, is essentially q navy problem. Therefore. they may have the Hawaii flight to the navy avta- tors, if tho latter wish to undertake 1t.
 Valuable Undertaking.
 Army pilots interested In the pro- ject believe 1t would be both a prac- tical and a valuable undertaking. Greater distance than that from the California coast to Hawaii already have been successfully negotiated by air, but never over water expanse of that size. without a stop. It has been claimed that the distance, great as it is, would be discounted to the iliers' advantage by favorable trade winds and that this condition, to- gether together with the assistance of a surface patrol along the line of flight, would go far toward removing much of danger from project that otherwise would be more or less hazardous.
 Another flight regarded as a pos sibility but admittedly more re- mote venture involves a trip from some point on the east or west coasts of the United States to Cape Horn and return. So far as is knowr Cape Horn has never been circum' navigated by air, nor has any aviator yet taken a machine down either coast of South America and returned by way of the opposite shore line.
 Such a venture would be more than a novel affair. The success O l hHU ii6AS hl1uS ln9t JNot II iohh th' Canal Zone to the five capitals o Central America aroused widespread interest throughout the Pan-Ameri can republics and officials of th' Washington government have saic it demonstrated in a practical anc striking way the close relations ant means of communication betweel the countries of North and Centra America.
 In the event it is ever decided l. attempt the Pan-American air expe dition, It Is felt the results would b even more widespread and the ap plication more general, linking as would the Central, South and Mort. American republics into one project All of the Pan-American countries is certain, would be included in tn itinerary and. it is believed, a would readily pledge their co-opera ton whenever approached on thi subject by the state department. ------

Art of Diamond Cutting

The art Of diamond cutting dates
from the end OF the Fifteenth century.
Formerly diamonds were sei ia their
natural STATE. after having been
cleaned. or else were cut In very
rude and imperfect manner But IN
1916 a young gentleman Of Bguges,
named Louis van Berghem. by rub
bling a couple OF diamonds together.
observed that ihey attrited and pol
lshed their surfaces reciprocally. and
that the ARTIFICIAL facets thus formed
acquired an extraordinary splendor.
This observation was the starting
point OF the diamond cutting and pol
isising Industry. which was almost ex-
clusiyely localized Ia Amsterdam. the

the FIRST trial Of his improved mode OF
cutting Ia 1915 on three large rough
