Birthstones-April

The birthstone for April has
long been considered to have
great supernatural powers. It is
used for an engagement ring be-
cause it is thought to soften
anger. strengthen love and pro-
mote harmony between husband
and wife"
The diamond is a pure carbon
and is found as isometlic or
csrystalline masses, because of
its hardness it was centuries be-
fore the stone was used as a
jewel. Charlemagne used four
OF the jewels in the clasp of his
mantle. Mary, Queen of Scots,
used one as a talisman against
danger and poison and the Shah
OF Persia is supposed to own a
flve-pointed star of diamonds
which will cause conspirators to
confess their crimes in its pres
ence.
The diamonds hardness, not
its beauty. won its early popular
ity. Moses is supposed to have
used it to cut the Ten Com
mandments on the stone tablets.
The first Step in the modern
brilliant cut was polishing the
surfaces, the arrangement Of cut
surfaces was changed and, ap-
proxmately generation or
two ago, the brilliant" cut with
SO faces reached perfection.
India is considered the home
Of the diamond but they are
found in Africa. Australia. Born
60, and other places in the ORR
ent. Small ones are found some
times in the United States.
There are many weI-nown
diamonds with interesting his
tories; some have disappeared
from knowledge. others are
in museums or state crowns and
scepterS; many of the larger
ones have been cut into smaller
stones.

1T TAKES ALL KINDS of men to fill
the list of pro quarterbacks. And all shapes

his own coaches or threw a cup OF water

Johnny Unitas Of the Colts never
achieved a college season such as Wander
Kelen's. He was drafted, true, but not very
high and the team that claimed him. Pitts
burgh, really didn't want him. But Unitas
turned out to be one Of the all-time best.
Unlike Van Brocklin he is cold, rather
than emotional. Unitas is all business;
there is no time for sentiment. Bobby
Layne was still another type, more like Van
Brocklin yet somehow different. Layne was
a hard-living, hard-playing quarterback
who savagely, numerically chewed out his
teammates when he felt they should have
done better

my Baugh and some OF the other good
passers but he took back seat to none of
them for effectiveness. One of the classic
stories concerns a time when Layne, a rest

game.
The next day Layne called Tracys

or wide. Finally Tracy lay gasping on the
ground, whereupon Layne charged him.

quarterbacks. Otto Graham, unlike most
OF the others, was born TO greatness. 1t

modestly. Whereas Layne was a bourbon

Graham was milkshake buff who played
a variety Of instruments and made his own
music.

On Easter he batted in four
