MORRIS URGING
COOPERATION IN
HOSPITAL WORK
Parade and Auditorium Pro.
gram Mark Celebration of
Armistice Day Here

Legionnaires should strive, even
more SO in the future than in the
past, to accomplish good as one of
the largest organizations in the
world, James Morris. attorney gem
rral-elect of North Dakota and him.
self legionnaire, told meeting at
the city auditorium yesterday at
IL am.
The gathering was made up of
members Of all former service or
carnations who had paraded
through the city shortly before, and
many residents of the city. The
auditorium was nearly filled, with
the number of persons estimated at
well over 600.
Morris pleaded with the legion
naires to take interest in the gov
ornamental affairs even more than
they had in the last 10 years. The
American legion, he said, can prob
ably do more good work than any
other single organization in the
world.
Legion Works as Group
THE American LEGION" nc de-
clared, "is not 'last-man' organiza-
ton and should not be regarded as
such. The legion,or any man in the
legion, is not self-made. Rather. the
group and members are products of
the organization as whole"
Obedience of law and order, as
taken up in the constitution Of the
American legion, should be observed,
not because the members must OBJ
serve the law but because they want
to, he said.
Norris devoted considerable part
Of his talk to American legion men,
bers in hospitals. The legion should
not forget the "buddies' that are
confined to institutions from wounds
or illness received in the great con-
flict, he said, but should do every
thing in its power to see that they
are well cared for.
Talk Features Program
The parade included members
from practically every service or
ganization in the city and surround
ing territory. 1t was divided into
three sections, with the first form

Broadway, the second formed at Sec
ong street facing south with the
head Of the column at the intersec-
ton of Thayer avenue and Second
street, and the third section formed
on Thayer avenue facing west with
the head of the column at the inter-
section Of Thayer avenue and Sec
Ond street.
The program at the auditorium,
which began at ii a. nl., started with
the singing of america" by the
audience. The song was led by Spen-
Ger Boise. "The Americans Come
and "Home Sweet Home" were sung
by Mrs. John Graham. Following

Voyagers," was given by Mrs. John

interior was illuminated with home

the castor bean and provided with crude
cotton wicks that dangled over the side

scattered rough tables, at which girls

an accordion. Queerly matched couples

girls were dressed In colorful, chic cos

not, were barefooted or Shod in heavy
boots. They wore their sombreros while
they danced and the revolverS in their
belts added a touch of incongruity to
the affair. Above their heads was
stretched a cloth to prevent snakes and
lizards from falling out Of the thatch
into the midst of the festivity.

Of tiny bodies known as corpuscles
which float In q clear fluid called the

There are many kinds Of corpuscles,

the wayfarers forge ahead toward their
goal.
Italy's world -circling airman, Di
Pinedo, who flew across this region OF
Matto Crosse year ago, described 1t
as a "green inferno" for he realized
the manifold dangers that lurked be-
meath its enhancing beauty.
Flocking into it afoot. hundreds OF
miles westward from Bahia, the dia-
mond hunters are braving gloomy fast
nesseS never penetrated before except
by untamed Indians But for leagues
before they reach the jungle they must
cross great treeless plains, where deer,
anteaters and ostriches roam through
the tall grass.
IF the rumors are true, this years find
may bring back the Brazilian dia-
mond business to its pristine glamour.
The hectic history of Brazilian diamond
hunting goes far back into the eight
eenth century, to the time when pioneer
gold seekers found diamonds In pro-
fusion and used them as counters in
their gambling games, ignoring their
true value. When their worth was dis
covered huge export business arose,
totaling nearly $200,000,0 900 before the
end of the eighteenth century.
Since 1850 Brazil has become famous
for diamonds of another kind-the car
bonados, or black diamonds, hardest
known substance, used for the diamond
drills that bore our oil wells and for
many grinding and cutting processes.
Ninety-eight per cent of the worlds
black diamonds come from the Brazilian
State of Bahia. Within the last year an
American company has obtained the
concession for Bahia's black diamond
rigllts-valued at $50,000,00 The most
modern equipment Is used. In the State
of Minas Geraes the white diamonds
are also mined with up-to-date meth
DDS akin to the processes of South
Africa. Steam shovels gnaw into the
diamond bearing soil and narrow-gauge
chinery. The work is done by hired
labor.
But along the Rio das Garcas. and
now on an even greater scale along the

labors Of the free lance garimpeiros pre-
serve a romance all their own.
And the question arises whether my
good friend DR.. Jose Morbeck. dictator
Of the older diamond districts near Santa

dustry at Lageado. DR.. Morbeck alone
has enforced q semblance OF order in

In Barzil rs years ago by q negro slave

of Baroda. They remember that the
S250,000 crown jewels treasured in Ire
land came from Brazil. They think OF
the Worlds finest blue-white diamond
the Tiffanyite, of 80 caratS, another
product of Brazilian fields and now
preserved in the Metropolitan Museum
of New York. They remember the
splendid Regent diamond. weighing
nearly an ounce--it was picked up by
three outlaws In Minas Geraes. They
know that Brazilian diamonds are the
hardest and fieriest-colored In the world
and they have known for years that
the Araguaya River would some day

James Orton, has pointed out--there
