DIAMOND CUTTING
LURES U. S. YOUTHS
Apprentices Must Serve Five
Years Under Dutch Experts
to Learn Trade.
Correspondence OF tho Associated Press.

Correspondence OF tho Associated Press.
AMSTERDAM, Holland.--Several
young Americans are learning the dia
mond cutting trade here.
They will have plenty OF time to
study the ways of Holland. for at
least years are required. Dutch
experts say. to learn even where the
, grain of a diamond lies. That Is the
first thing to know for nearly all dia
monds have to be split with or sawed
against the grain.
1t takes two and half years to
learn how to shape or cut stone
and three or four years to acquire the
knack Of polishing 1t and giving 1t the
facets that bring out all its fire.
Save Diamond Dust.
Nothing but a diamond will wear
down the surface of the stones. and
one of the first things the American
apprentices will learn is the value OF
diamond dust and how to recover 1t
frcm tools. from floors and from the
hands. the hair and the clothing OF
the workers.
The boys sit for years opposite eX.
pert workers. watching them and
watching the stone as 1t goes through
different processes.
They see first the study by an eX'
pert of the rough stone, TO decide
what can best be produced from II
and where it can best be split. If he
finds il can be split with the grain
he marks the proper spot with india
| ink and hands it to a splitter. who
makes an incision in il with another
diamond and with chisel gives it a
| tap which separates the rough stone
into two parts.
Hairline Saws.
| II the stone must be separated
! against the grain. II Is handed 10 a
sawyer who works on ii with saws OF
| bronze and copper, about n quarter
millionth Of an inch thick. The saw
| has no teeth. hut is given the proper
wearing property by the cementing of
diamond dust on its circumference. IL
| is made in the United States.
When the stone has been split or
sawed it is handed To the cutter or
shaper, who gives it the proper form
after which it goes TO the polisher. He
brings ii 10 sparkling brilliance by
wearing off the corners and giving 1t
as many facets as it should have.
Amsterdam diamond cutters say
they are not at all alarmed by the eff
fort 10 introduce diamond cutting into
the United States. 1T takes too long
to develop such an industry" they say,
unless there developed wholesale
exodus OF experienced workers. such
as that from Belgium TO Holland when
the diamond workers of Belgium were
obliged to fiy before the Spaniards."

Man Amazed BY De-
v~elopment

The development that has been
achieved in the Lower Rio Grande
Valley in less than twenty years
proved amazing to Anthony Dell.
special writer for the London Morn
ing Post, who arrived in the Valley
Thursday for a brief tour.
Mr.. Dell was assigned BY his news
paper to study rural and community
life in the United States and has
written a series Of interesting ar
tlcles upon the subject. He arrived
in the United States in April and has
covered most of the eastern section.
He found the Lower Rio Grande
Valley distinctly different from any
part Of the United States he has
visited. He admitted he had in
dulged in a few "wild west" stories
during his leisure hours, and expect
ed to find the entire population Of
the border country ACQUIRED with
six guns and wide sombreros. and
was mildly surprised to find COM
munities that have no peer in the
world. He also expressed surprise
that a city of 10000 population
should have a daily newspaper such
IS The Brownsville Herald. statin-
that in England it would not be con
sidered possible TO publish a dali
paper with press service in a cit
of less than 10000. The Valley

AMERICAN RUNS SCHOOL

Lone Woman Answers Desire of

DAMASCUS, Syria C41.-An Amer
lean wonan's venture, little known to

the desert among Syrian and Arabian
sheiEzs, is the school for Arab girls

handed by DR.. Mary Essingberg, a

Visiting the Near East as q tourist a

NEVADA PLANS BAN
ON QUICK DIVORCES.
Repeal Proposed of Law
Which Places Reno Resi-
dence at Three Months.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
RENO, New, December 27.-No longer
will Reno be the haven of divorce seek
ers. with the lure of only three month
residence requirement, If determined
effort to repeal the present law sue
ceeds at the forthcoming session of the
Nevada Legislature.
Speaker D. c.. Tandy of the Assembly
and other prominent legislators have
made it known that they will endeavor
to effect repeal of the three-month law
and restore the former act necessitat-
ing six months legal residence for those
seeking to break the bonds of matri-
mony in Nevada courts. Resentment
against the present law, which was
rushed through in the closing hours of
the last Legislature two years ago. has
been steadily growing among real resi-
dents of Nevada and influential ele-
r1ents are lining up against its con-
tinuance without regard to any con-
venience it offers too citizens of other
States.
See State in Bad Repute.
Opponents of the three month resi-
dence requirement contend it has
brought the State into bad repute and
has also failed to bring the expected
rush of profitable business to Reno and
other Nevada towns. 1t Is asserted that
1t has brought undesirables to Reno,
resulted in fragrant infractions of the
law and generally proved anything but
desirable.
A telling argument against the three
month provision is, though 1t has in
creased divorces here, it has not Stim-
ulated business to any marked extent.
1t Is stated that it has actually re-
stricted the profis of Reno merchants.
1t has been found that residents for
divorce only spend little money for
clothing jewelry and amusement. and
with only three month stay ahead of
them. show a tendency to rent low
priced apartments in preference to ex-
pensive homes.
Divorces in Nevada in 1927 num-
bered more than 1900, gaining about
300 over 1925, but incomplete returns
for 1928 indicate a decline from the
1927 record.
These figures include a considerable
number of working people, who have
sought employment and created sur
plus Of labor.
Reno to Fight Repeal.
Opposition to repeal of the three
montn law Will be MADE by RenO'S
legal fraternity, numbering 200 in q
population Of $4,000. Many of them
depend largely upon divorces for i've
lihood and any plan which threatens to
curtan the business quickly brings pro-
tests. On the other hand, however, sew
eral leaders of the Reno bar favor re-
peal of the law. The battle over the
question promises to be stirring when
the Legislature conveneS in January.
Nevada requires a Six-month res
tdence for voters, but a three-month
stay qualities one to sue for divorce.
Each divorce customer solemnly asserts
his or her intention of becoming a per-
manent resident of Nevada as required
by court procedure, but In nearly every
case, arrangements have been made for
q return to the old home town when
the object of the three-month stop has
been attained.
