When this question was put to one of the worlds big DIAMOND merchants, he smiled, "Women like because of this, there will NEVER be too many of them." . . . Then too, the production of diamonds is evidently a costly one and the number mined is controlled by the: various governments of the diamond-pro- MY THANKS TO THOSE WHO VOTED, AND WORK] ducing countries.

Drag your bright idea out of storage, advertise it in the classifieds to contact poor one by its size. The larger the diamond, the more valuable it is. Diamonds vary in their purity and color too. Some are brown, some yellow. The blue-white diamond is most valuable. A diamond Is attractive be- cause it is cut in such a way that the refraction of light through the stone produces a beautiful ef- fect. Small diamonds are cut into 10 facets. Larger and more ex- pensive stones have as many as 58 facets. Round diamonds have the best effect. Light refraction is not nearly as good in square stones, they say. Though diamonds are generally bought for ornament, many people purchase them for investment be- cause of the stability in their val: uve. In the Orlent, even poor peo- ple save up to buy diamonds for investment as Far Eastern cur- rencies, are unstable. These prec- ious stones are small and can therefore be hidden easily com- pared with gold which is heavier, bulkier and more readily detect ed. Diamonds can be resold usually for the price paid, or with little loss. Nor is it just in the Orient that diamonds are investments. Many a safety deposit box in a Canadian bank stores up dia- monds. In these days of high in- come taxes, the holding of dia- monds as a capital investment yields no interest to increase the income, yet it builds up a precious nest egg which will always be valuable." In this age of women's emanci- pation, such old fashioned terms as authoress, poetess and chair- lady are no longer used. It is most interesting to note that! Winston Churchill when becoming a Free- man of the city of Bath recently, addressed the woman mayor there as, "Mister Mayor." Even Mr. Churchill recognized the equality of women when he refused to use the usual introduction, "Lady. Mayoress." You don't have to. talk long with a stenographer before she will be speaking good or evil about her boss. Derivation of this word evi- dently goes back to the low Dutch word "boss" meaning "master." UNCLE FRONTENAC says what keeps men broke is not the Wolf at the door, but the Persian lamb in the window. COMET CLAIMS FATEST TRIPS Leaving London' at noon and arriving at Idlewild airport after New Yorkers haye had lunch is the prospect for fast Atlantic crossings when Britain's "Com- et," the first jet air liner, gets in- to transocean service four years hence. James Dugan, describing the new deHaviland ship in a Decem- ber Reader's Digest article, says the Comet cruises at 450 m.p.h., will make the London-New York run in six hours, at an altitude of eight miles. To passengers on the east-west trip, the sun will appear to stand almost still, as they will be travelling west near- ly as fast as the earth is rolling east. A Canadian counterpart, the Avro Canada Jetliner, will oper- ate between major North Ameri- can cities, the Digest article points out. The first Canadian- built Jetliner. took off from Ont- ario"s Malton airport a few days after the deHaviland Comets maiden flight in England. A. V. Roe Canada is now building its second Jetliner with 95 percent Canadian staff. The Digest account, condensed from Saga, says England's Comet is about the size of the Constella- tion. Four jet engines are enclos- ed in the wings; between each pair is a housing for a Sprite rocket engine which can be used to accelerate takeoffs. For 12 sec- onds the two Sprites can boost the plane's horsepower to 48,000 --nearly a quarter as much as the total horsepower of the huge PORT HORT Jim Cooke, retiring councillor and promotion expert extra-or- dinary for Nuffield cars, has chos- en a novel way to celebrate New Year's Eve. Jim will be a busy boy December 31, when he'll drive his Jaguar XK 120 in the gruelling Sam Collier Memorial Grand Prix competition at Sebring, Florida. Object of the test is turn travel the greatest number of miles pos- sible in a six hour tour of a tor- tuous course full of twists and hairpin turns, smooth spots and rib-shaking bumps. Jim, who won the Canadian championship at Edenvale a couple of months ago, will have to average at least 65.3 miles per hour to qualify, which means that at times he'll have to push his speedometer needle up to 130 to 140 miles per hour. Some of the turns are so tough, you see, that a driver has to brake down to 20 or so, thereby neces- sitating some terrific bursts of speed to bring the average up. Sounds like a big do, particularly in view of the fact that the driv- ing will be done half in daylight and half in darkness. Here's luck to you, James. Personally, we'll feel safer staying home and ring- ing cowbells. + oe Lakeshores are still hopeful that they'll be on home ice very shortly, and Bert Peer promises fans will have a fine, battling squad to cheer for.
