Is a diamond engagement
ring a good investment? If you
buy an average ring, definitely
no, for you buy the ring at a
retail price (plus tax and any
inStalment charges) while If
you sell, you sell at the whole
sale price. This recovery
price" usually runs at only one
third your cost. Tiffany's Of
fers two rules-of-thumb for
maximum value here: First
spend your money on one big
stone rather than many little
ones and thus avoid paying a
diSproportionate amount for
cutting the stone; second, real
ize that quality being equal and
weight within reason Give to
10 caratS), the heavier the ca
rat weight of the diamond, the
greater its worth. A two-carat
diamond stone is worth more
than two one-carat stones of
the same quality, a 50-point
stone is worth more than two
25-point stones, etc.
Diamond as investments
Are diamonds themselves
good investments? Almost 1000
years ago, the Roman historian
Pliny said, '"The diamond is the
most valuable not only of pre-
cious stones, but of all things
in this world" He made a
valid point. Diamonds are the
least destructible of gems, are
easily hidden, easily carried,
supported in price by one of
the worlds most rigid monopo-
les.
It takes considerable know
how to make a successful in
vestment in diamonds, though.
The value of the gem, accord
ing to the American Gem So
city of Los Angeles, will be de-
termined by four factors rank
ing in Importance in this order:
Accuracy of cutting, color, clar-
ity and carat weight. Weight
alone is no indication of COM
parative values. Says the So
ciety, ut is much like compar-
ing the value of pictures by
their size"

Their increases in Government
spending during the transition
to lower tax rates.
In emphasizing the need for
such measures, the ABA
warned that undue delay or
inadequate action in dealing
with the payments problem
could lead to IAN intensified
ton of anxieties over the status
of the dollar, an acceleration
of the gold outflow, and a more
rapid approach to a level of
gold holdings at which inter-
national confidence in the dol
lar could be restored only
through harsh internal meas
ures."
Preview Of Statement
In a preview of the state
ment with the press Thursday
afternoon, Charles Walker, ex-
ecutive vice president of the
ABA, said presentation of the
ABA's study and conclusions to
the American public had been
planned to rally support for
adequate action and help to
avoid a crisis later.
Unless adequate action is
taken, the critical stage could
be less than a year away, Mr..
Walker said in answer to re-
porters' questions.
The bankers agreed with the
administration that the exist
ing gold parity of the dollar
must be preserved, noting that
"devaluation or the adoption of
floating exchange rates would
do irreparable damage to the
international monetary system,
and to the economic, military
and political strength of the
entire Free World"
Enactment of sound tax re-
duction in this session of Con-
gress, the statement said, would

strain the large outflow of pri-
vate long-term capital" In
1862, this outflow totaled $2.5
billion.
The associations recommen-
dalton for less credit ease and
a firming Of interest rates is
in line with strong European
sentiment that such a move is
essential to the reduction of
the United States payments
deficit, Mr.. Walker said.
The official statement said
that less credit ease would re-
strain the outflow Of short
term funds to overseas mar
kets, arrest the trend toward
deterioration in the quality of
credit and avoid an excessive
build-up of liquidity which
could jeopardize cost-price sta
bility in the future"
Defense Involved
Observing that official poll
cies have evidenced ian I'M
derstandable reluctance to adj
Just aid and defense programs

balance of payments" the as
ISOLATION statement added:
I'VE are convinced that I'M
willingness to make adjust
ments ultimately could lead to
impairment Of international fl
nancial order, thereby COM
pletely jeopardizing the eco
nomic strength, the political
stability and the mutual de-
tense Of the Free World. There
fore, we cannot subscribe to the
view that foreign exchange
costs Of our aid and defense
programs are rigid and immut-
able"
The association cited pres
sureS on the United States
trade position growing out of
trade and tariff
policies and expressed concern
over grave dangers that the
United States could be pressed
into a position requiring resort
to unilateral action" which
would be destructive Of inter-

bound to the ultimate detri-
ment Of both the United States

YOUR MONEYS WORTH :
What Is Cost
Of New Bride?

How much does a wife cost
Since I reported several weeks
ago how much it costs a bride
to tie up her husband legally
on the big day, Letters have
challenged me to tell what we'd
ding expenses the groom as
sumes, how much an average
honeymoon costs, what about
the expenses of having a baby
and some kill-joys even have
Inquired about the expenses
of divorce and death. So
have been digging and as ]
collect the facts, I'll pass them
along.
OF course, Just as no one can
estimate what it costs a bride
to lure her bachelor into mat
rimony so no one can estimate
what 1t costs a groom to court
his lady. But there are hard
facts on what he spends in
connection with the wedding it
self.
Practically speaking he has
only one major expense-the
engagement and wedding rings
The other expenses - church
fees, gifts to his ushers, perhaps
renting that once-in-a-lif etime
formal suit - are minor, may
run under 500.
Rings Biggest Expense
The rings, though, are an i'm
portant expense. Here, from the
New York firm Of Tiffany &
Co., which makes an annual
Nationwide survey of develop
ments in the diamond ring mar
ket, are guides for the esti-
mated IL million American men
VINO Will marry.
Is a diamond engagement
ring the thing to give? 1t sure
ly is. Judging by 1925 sales,
IS per cent Of this years brides
are getting diamond engage
ment rings. Sales of the nom
diamond ring are insignificant.
What kind of ring is in style?
The solitaire as opposed to the
multiple stone ring is by far
the most popular type Of true
diamond engagement ring. The
size of the center diamond in
the ring sold by the typical
jeweler is As points or nearly
u carat.
What is the average price
paid? Between 1927 and $3.50,
excluding Federal tax, says Tif-
fany's. This average hides the
fact that the cost of the en-
gagement ring may run from
under 500 to thousands and
the cost frequently is increased
by interest on instalment pur-
chases.
Should a fiancee help select
the ring? In the majority Of
cases now, the fiancee accom-
panies her future husband on
the ring shopping expedition.
Also, seven of every 10 Gus
toners buy a matched set OF
diamond engagement and dia-
mond wedding rings.
What's the average cost OF
wedding bands? The most pop
ular prices for narrow and
standard widths diamond-set
rings have remained constant
during the last four annual
surveys. The average is $Sl.
