A''"ur brisbane and Japan will
hardly have the heart to stay out un-

erners busy planning to kill each other.
There are, California tells you. sew
eral kinds of gold: yellow gold that
took crowds to California in 1S49: an
other yellow gold that grows on orange,
lemon and grapefruit trees; the white
gold water power rolling from the
mountains. to produce black gold. pow
err and fertility. and the oil In the
ground.
M~ussolini's determination to keep oil
flowing into Italy. even at risk of Flu
ropean war. shows that oil Is more

In Jacksonville, Fla. gentlemen fit

pirate treasure think they know where
the gold is. They may find 1t; prob
ably will not.
Other gentlemen are figuring out
similar treasure expeditions in Wall

Men hunting pirate treasure and
Wall street treasure will have plenty
of excitement, and that probably is
we'll worth the effort. "a dull life Is
no life."
The great .Jonker diamond, biggest
uncut stone on earth, is to be cut into
smaller pieces, since M m rich
enough to buy 1t now would wear so
big a diamond.
1t might have been sold to a Rus

wounded increases and the case looks
more and more hopeless, there might
be a general massacre Of whites. II
this should happen the 80 to l" gen.
tlemen of the League Of Nations would
have themselves to blame.
The sanctions" and boycott will not
