DIAMONDS

Down in South Africa, where the diamonds come from, they have made another discovery, and those on the ground say there is nothing like It in the world. The new dia- mond field Is the greatest in ex- istence; it seems 10 be as easy to pick Up diamonds out of the ground within Its area as it Is to pick up seashells along a beach.
 But the South African government does not believe in depressing the diamond market: consequently dia- monds will not become as common , as coal. The government owns the field, and there is enough business in government in South African to war rant the government keeping down 1 production.
 It would greatly irk the diamond trust if the government went into the diamond business on a grand scale. And if diamonds became con-
 mon, and their value went down
 the wealth flowing 10 South Africa would be that much less fin spite of ! increased production.
 Where is there another business
 like the diamond industry?

WILLIS PLANkS

 Going this far-perhaps further than most other presidential aspir- ants-does not mean, however, that his candidacy is any the more likely to succeed. His blanks are obvious. conventional; they require no deep thought. Most of them are blatantly unoriglnaL
 On the whole he has shown cour- age. If his action induces other aspirants to list their preferences in |. like manner much good will result.

Alaskan Wolverines
 For Wolverine State

Lansing, Mich, arch 5 (UP)- Michigan where the wolverine is as extinct as the dodo bird, came into possession of it's third pair of mas cots recently when two of the ani- mals arrived here from Alaska. They were the gift to the city from the Izaall Walton league.
 The animals, said once to have been as plentiful as gophers in a prairie state, and after which auto mobiles. football teams. trains, and numerous other Michigan products are named, have left the land AS completely as if they never existed. The extinction of the species uni versally is predicted by some natur- alists as a corollary to the dis appearance Of game of other sorts. The wolverine is a voracious eater and fighter and once an abundant supply of food is gone. the animal either dies or moves on.
 Perhaps the two best known Of the Michigan wolverines are Ben ny" and "Biff" who appear at Uni versity of Michigan football games and are lowed about the field in their special cages just at the start of each contest.

THE NICARAGUA WAR

Sometimes We wonder just how popular the war in Nicaragua Is with the rank and file ot Americans.
 Five more marines were killed there the other day and criticism was offered in the Senate by Mr. Dill O Washington. Was he hssed and ieerel from the galleries? Not a, all.
 When he shouted his convictions
 that American marines should not
 be there, that there are no Amer jeans 10 protect in Nicaragua, that
 there was DO need to send them there in the first place. and that they
 We're there without the consent ol the Senate, there was so much cheer. ing and applause from both the floor and the galleries that Vice President Dawes had to pound his gavel vigorously for order.
 The marines, however will stay
 until after the Nicaragua election. Proof 0 .this was indicated when
 Senator Borah, chairman or the for
