mond output from South Africa

reports that the government was
preparing to. flood the market.
With the discovery Of new dia

all the diamonds found in AZ.
rica were put on the market
without some sort Of control the

JObLeSs Executive
Waste in Industry

Unemployment is not matter
of the day-wage laborer alone,
but of white-collar executives,
and in the latter case industry
suffers as much by not employ
ing the idle person as the idle
person does by not being en-
ployed.
This was the observation Of
DR.. julius Klein, Assistant Sec
retary of Commerce. in q radio
address last night over the Co.
lumbia System on the subject Of
"Squandering Business Expert
ence."
He declared that while in some
cases these executive may not
be Of great value to the indus
try. in a majority of cases they
constitute a deplorable waste Of
valuable business experience.

In a statement by the War De

Not only has the work greatly
benefited the immediate sections

the lahorers are piling up millions
of cubic feet of earth, but huge

wedding the girl transferred her
affections to another shepherd,
Guido di Corso. and refused to
fulfill her promise to Di Silvertro.
The distracted man, armed with g
gun, made his way to the hay loft,
where Driade, her sister and two
farmhands were sleeping.

fired at the girl. killing her on the
spot. He then set fire to the hay
loft and stood by, singing a love
song while the other sleepers
burned.
Reused by the turmoil, Dr;ade'S
brother and Guido di CorSo came
running to the scene. Di SilveStro
fired at them, killing his rival and
wounding the other man. Then.
leaving behind him five corpses as
a result of the nights work, ne

ANXIOUS TO HOLD
AFFAIR ANNUALLY
Claims Ideal Facilities for
Races and Caring
for Spectators.
NNAPOLIs, September 10

A NNAPOLIS, September 49,
~ Of11cial and civic bodies of
4 \ Annapolis, which cooper
ated with the Maryland
Yacht Racing Association in con-
Quoting the Presidents Cup Re
gatta here last Friday and Sat-
urday, hope to make the national
series of small motor craft races
an annual affair here.
Last weeks regatta was the fifth an
nual event Of the kind, the first four
being held in Washington.
Local representatives point to the I'M
rivaled facilities for carrying out the
affairs here and the successful conduct
of the one held last week, although
a limited time was given for the prepa-
rations.
Outstanding advantages of Annapolis,
it is claimed, are an ideal course with
fine accommodations for spectators and
the cooperation of the Naval Academy
officials.
The Severn River, a little more than
a half mile broad at the point of start
and finish, and with plenty of deep
water. furnished ample room for the
racing boats and for craft anchored
along the course, while the seawall and
ships at the Naval Academy and the
high bluffs on the other side of the
river afforded unusual facilities for
spectators.
Next to the ideal course, the eficient
and accommodating cooperation of the
Naval Academy authorities is regarded
as a reason for holding future re-
gattaS at Annapolis.
