RIGHT ore used for jewelry
-vHE crown of the Maharajah of Indore
contains seventy-three diamonds that
d gleam brilliantly in setting of purest
gold. But in almost any big American auto
mobile plant are a thousand or more diamonds
set in hardest steel - diamonds that grind
and cut. The gems of the potentate and those
of the automobile factory may have come
from the same mine, but their destiny is as
separate as the poles. For the jewels in the
princes crown are solely things of beauty.
while those in the vast automobile factories
are expected to do but one thing - to work.
No pampered object of luxury is the indus
trial diamond 1t is plunged into the noise and
Crime of the modern factory where it tolls
and cuts until it is literally worn away to
nothing One-half of the worlds diamond
production is fated never to end upon miladys
finger, or on the diadem of sultan: for one
half of them are used only for utility.
A thousand miles north of Montana. in
tent-and-cabin town on the Great Slave
Lake called Yellowknife, there's rip snorting
gold rush going on right now. The fever OF
the days of 49 is in the frosty air, for the sour
doughs have found gold aplenty in this rock
bound, near arctic terrain of Canadas far
Northwest Territories.
But it's a gold rush with modern slant.
For the men who hunt the precious yellow
metal are using diamond "shovels" to dig
their gold.
In this wasteland, which can be reached only
by plane, or by perilous OO-mile boat trip
from the nearest railroad in Northern Alberta,
the ore has to run rich and deep in order to
pay the tremendous cost of getting it out and
back to civilization. The promoters already
knew it was rich on the surface. And so, the
burning question was: how deep does the
gold run?
To find out, the mines hackers shipped up
a cunningly simple device called diamond
core drill "a tubular drill whose bit is en-
crusted with diamonds. These diamonds bore
easily into fiinty rock that would crumple
hardened steel, and the hollow segments
above it retain a sample of the strata passed
through. To find what hidden wealth lies in
the bowels of the earth, the mining engineers
simply analyze their samples.
They did this at Yellowknife. And there
are now more than thirty mining and pros
pecting companies in the area, all because
the diamond drill has proved it profitable.
Only in recent years has the diamond be-
come something other than pretty and
expensive bauble The reason is that in this
steel age, when tough metals must be cut to
size with hair-line accuracy and tremendous
speed, diamonds and nothing else will do the
Job. The fiery stone gouged from the bowels
of African earth is by far the hardest thing
known in Christendom.
And because of this incredible hardness,
which allows it to cut the most formidable
alloys as though they were soft cheese, the
diamond is indispensable to the automobile
industry today. Forty per cent OF all industrial
diamonds are used in the manufacture OF
automobiles, and were it not for this, your
car would not give either the performance or
the wear you have come to expect of it.
In a South Bend factory, diamonds of two

This diamond die can squeeze
out over 500 900 mile. Of wire
seven feet in diameter, with more than
thousand stones set in its rim. 1t mows
through solid stone as if it were soap, and
goes on saving for months, day and night,
before the stones must be reset.
This does not mean that the gems have
worn out 1t means that the tremendous
pressure on the diamonds has worn the steel
settings that hold them. The settings are
repaired before the stones drop out - and
the same gems are ready for more labor.
In comparison with this the life Of the
gems which keep the nation on schedule is an
easy one. The job of diamond in fine
watch l. in which are used the softer rubies
and sapphires as we'll - is to provide delicate
moving parts with a frictionless setting that
defies time and wear As with most other in
dustrial jewels, the cost of the raw gems in
watches is trivial compared with the expense
of shaping and setting them.
Nothing will cut a diamond but another
diamond And that is why the blue-blOOded
jeWelry shimmering in the Jeweler S showcase
owes its beauty to the ''other half - the
workman diamonds that cut polish and buff
them Even the nawless gems used in jewelry
look like ordinary lustrous pebbles when
they come from the mine. a,d to bring out
their hidden flame they must be cut by
expert hands.
A gem cut for ring ordinarily has fifty
eight facets - fiftye sides - each OF
which must be super smooth so that it will
catch the light and focus it in dazzling flame
at the center of the stone. Only the most
skilled cutters who have grown up IN the
great diamond works Of Amsterdam and
Antwerp are given this supremely painstaking
task, for poor cutting can damage or even
ruin priceless gem
First the stone is sawed with revolving.
paper-thin disc of phosphor bronze, using
diamond dust as the cutting agent. Next, 1t
is placed on whirling spindle while cutter
"roughs" it with diamond pointed tool
Then the gem is set in holder of solder called
a "dop' and is pressed against revolving
iron wheel impregnated with diamond dust
For every one of the fifty-eight facets, the
gem must be reset at a different angle in the
dop, and must be ground with infinite care.
1t takes an expert artisan from three days to
a week to cut one carat stone and this work
represents large proportion of the cost OF
the finished jewell
Though the United States uses more in
dustrial diamonds than any other nation. 1t
produces none. There is a diamond mine in
southwestern Arkansas. but it has been idle
for years because it cannot compete with
South African mines Most of our gems are
dug by Kaffirs at Kimberley, although few
come from Brazil.
American industry has come to depend on
diamonds. New uses are constantly being
found for them In oil-burning furnaces, for
example, pierced diamond nozzles are coming
into favor because the diamond gives steady
spray of oil and is unaffected by terrific heat.
Tomorrow will bring other uses. For this
glinty freak of nature that used to be only an
extravagant bauble has come out of the white
collar class with a vengeance. 1t does work
that nothing else on earth can do.

$3.50. In the light of Christian Sci
ence we may conclude that the
sleep" referred to was not the re-
pose or slumber of the night, but
was the supplying, materialistic in
fluence of the age in which they
lived. Jesus high spiritual percep-
ton and understanding on this occa-
sion awakened these disciples from
their materialistic dream; and for
the time they stood on the same plane
of understanding with him, and like
wise, "discerned the spiritual fact, -
of Moses and Elias. They perceived
them as men" with definite individ-
uality and identity.
Jesus and his three disciples were
here on this earthly plane; and in
the flesh as we are. Have we not the
right to conclude that when we
awaken from the sleep, the stupefy-
ing influence of the materialistic age
in which we live, we may attain to
that high spiritual perception and
understanding, thereby discerning
'the spiritual fact of whatever the
material senses behold?"

ated two of you. He never made q

you. Thus you are now, and so you
will ever be.

Committee Reports

Delegates Whitmore and Hajek re-
ported on the Boy Scout mobiliza-
ton banquet held in the Paris
dining room October 5, reported that
the banquet was well attended and
that the Scout Council is desirous
of enlisting the aid of volunteer scout
leaders and that there existed a
possibility of establishing at least
twenty more scout troops in Great
Falls if leaders were available. This
appears to be a very commendable
project and would have a decided
tendency to curb juvenile delinquen-
cy, the fact being brought out that
in the last fourteen months there
had been 604 cases of juvenile de-
linquency registered in the juvenile
department of the city police, and
that these 604 cases had shown in
excess of 900 violations. The report
of the committee was accepted.
Special committee to meet with
the city council regarding the case
of Mr.. Molyneaux who violated the
City Building Codes reported that
the case remained status quo and
that in all probability no action
would be taken by the city engineer
to approve this job under the con-
ditions which it had been con-
structed.
Delegates from the Building
Trades Council announced that Leon
Royal and John Martin were the
Building Trades members of the
Home Oil committee; the Assembly
members being Thompson, Shonen,
Biallas, and Lindsey. They request
ed that this committee meet Mon

Science LECTURE DELIVERED BY
JUDGE FREDERICK {. HILL, (. 5. B

DefOre.
The letter is dated many months
after the lecture. How was that per-
son healed? The lecturer did not
know the person and had no knowl-
edge of the presence of such a per-
son with arthritis.
The disease was a belief of life,
sensation, and intelligence in mat
ter: all untrue-all unreal. The pa
tient had been saying: q have
arthritis. I cannot walk. l cannot
sit" The patient ignorantly had
been pleading guilty to the false
claim.
All that occurred was the reversal
of that plea of guilty-a change in
consciousness. And that change in
consciousness met every claim and
circumstance of arthritis as its mas
ter, and the body responded. The
healing, which is the divine idea un-
folding, illustrates the fact that dis
ease has no intelligence of its own;
and no law whereby to support or
enforce its claims.
When you know and claim your
heritage, 81 am the Son of God" now,
you are approaching a fuller under
standing of your manhood, and every
time you voice the divine fact of
your sonship you are approaching
in some degree the demonstration
made by Jesus. You are breaking the
mesmeric beliefs of mortal mind
which are imposed upon you; you
will enjoy better health; you will
have better body; you will live in
better world.
AS you think out and apply the
truth presented in Christian Science
you will lift up your head and with
dignity you will run the race toward
the goal perpetually before you-the
perfect man.
Infinite Progress
As you advance step by step in the
process of embodiment, the perfect
man and his possibilities become
more apparent. God is immortal and
eternal. Gods man, then, to be His
likeness, must be just as immortal
and eternal as God. You are Gods
man. Hold to that fact, and know
that the law of intelligent action
never lapses into inaction. Know
that it is an utter impossibility for
divine consciousness to become un-
conscious. Know that the law of di-
vine consciousness and divine action
is the only law governing man. It
is the law that controls your body,
It is the law of regeneration, redemp-
ton, salvation from all the mesmeric
beliefs incident to human life.
In Science and Health with Key
to the Scriptures" on page 256, Mrs.
Eddy says, Progress takes off hu-
man shackles." Your being is infinite
progression, and the law of infinite
progress is the law of annihilation
to every human shackle that binds
you.
It is recorded in the Gospels that
on a certain occasion Jesus took
three of his most promising disciples
Peter, James, and John, and went up
into a mountain to pray. The record
is, that as he prayed ''his counte-
nance was altered" and his gar
ments became white and clustering. y
Also there appeared with him two
men talking with him. These men
were Moses and Elias. His disciples
were asleep. It was related, however,
that when they were awakened,
they saw his glory, and the two
men that stood with him."
