Three dapper Chicago bandits who

Buckley is 35 miles north Of Cham

about six miles through the mud
from Loda where they had been
forced to abandon an overheated
taxicab commandeered after they
jumped from the train.
The three men told capturing Off

The three men timed their move

DIAMOND BROKERS FEAR
FLOOD OF CHEAP GEMS
Increased Alluvial Diggings in
South Africa Cause Alarm in
London Market.
By the Associated. Press.

BY the Associated. Press.
LONDON, September 18.-Diamond
brokers are shuddering over the pos
sibility that the increased alluvial dia-
mond diggings in South Africa may
result in lot Of cheap stones being
thrown on the market.
Discovery and proclamation Of an
additional number of alluvial dig
gings has. caused anxiety not only
among directors of the diamond
mines, but also to the South African
government officials, who fear the
consequent flooding Of the markets
with cheaper grades of gems will seri-
ously affect business.
The opening of a new diamond field
always attracts both professional dig
gers and men who are either out of
employment or are lured from their
regular work by the hope Of striking
a fortune. The vast majority who
try their luck, however, are bitterly
disappointed and every diamond rush
is invariably followed by frantic
endeavor by many disillusioned men
and women to return to their former
jobs.

Film was found to cling to teeth; to get
into crevices and stay; to hold in contact
with teeth food substances which fer
mented and fostered the acids of decay.
Film was found to be the basis of tartar.
Germs by the millions breed in it. And
they with tartar, are the chief cause of
pyorrhea and most gum disorders.
Thus there was a universal call for an
effective flm-removing method. Ordinary
brushing was found ineffective. Now two
effective combatants have been found, ap-
proved by high dental authority and en-
bodied in a tooth paste called Pepsodent.
Csrdles and removes film
Firms the Gums
Pepsodent acts first to curdle the film.
Then it thoroughly removes the film in
gentle safety to enamel
At the same time, it acts to firm the
gums-Pepsoden provides, for this pur-
pose. the most recent dental findings in
gum protection science knows today. Pep
sodent also multiplies the alkalinity of the
saliva. And thus aids in neutralizing
mouth acids as they form.
It multiplies the starch digestant of the
saliva. Thus combats starch deposits which
might otherwise ferment and iorsl acids.

Mr.. Crissinger pointed out that
periods of speculation such as came
in 1919, 1928 and this year have in
variably been attended by breaks in
the regular trend of commodity
prices and production. The Federal
Reserve Charts just compiled show
this tendency Enthusiastically, although
the movement is OF a relatively minor
character as yet. In general, how
ever. prices of commodities have
shown remarka ble stability in the
last five years although conditions
IN individual industries have caused
some quota tions to fluctuate widely.
There is now under discussion in
congress the possibility of the Fed
eral Reserve Board using its tre-
mendous influence and it's gold re-
serves to stabilize commodity prices,
but the majority of economists do
not approve such action.
Could Check Speculation.
There is no question of the fact
that the Federal Reserve Board has
the means of checking wild specula-
ton should it choose to do so.
although such action is entirely i'm
probable BY the buying or selling
of securities on its own account il
could relieve member banks of bur
den of borrowing or fail to relieve
them. But many members of the
board feel that such action might
work hardship unWarra ntably on
business and industry as well as on
speculation.
There is a growing feeling mani
tested in financial circles that the
slight check to business has been
due more TO the failure. of business
men to get what they expected than
failure to get what profits have been
justified. Many started the year with

vantage over unlisted, put for some
of the latter there is also a ready
market Observe that this does not
apply to stocks of small and strictly
local enterprises.
Security of principal invested in
common stock Is more difficult to
analyze. If by this security is meant
stability in market price, then COM
mon stocks as a group compare un-
favorably with bonds. The market
price of even the best of common
stocks varies over a wide range. Take.
for instance, United States Steel COM
mon which ranks verX high among
investment stocks. The market price
of the common stock in the year 1925
ranged from low of l12ss to high
of 1891. An investor who bought at
the high price might reasonably claim
that he had sustained a loss of prin-
cipal when the quotation subsequent
ly declined, even If he were not forced
to sell The only reply to this criti-
cism is that the asset value back of
United States Steel common did not
