While it is true that many of the tiner diamonds were stolen by the Nazis, many were also smuggled into America. The biggest demand for diamonds at the present time is for war production. More than seven million carats in diamonds are being utilized for this purpose annually. The Russian Urals' diamond fields were discovered in 1829. During the first century only 239 diamonds were nvned. Since the Russian revolution, the diamond fields of Russia have contributed a vast supply to world markets. Commercial diamonds are used in grinding, emery work, faceting precious stones, cutting and drilling glass, plastic work, fine engraving, marking scales, twining tools for electric light carbons, bearings in watches and electric meters and drawing wires, in addition to hupdredsofwar and otb«* uses.

I. tonus AH0 STAMPS "VOU understand how it is," the 1 little man said anxiously. "I am only able to charge such high prices for my apartments because I run a respectable house. Nothing like this has ever happened before. I want you to leave no stone unturned, Captain Stokes, in apprehending the man who stole young Mr. Trumbell's jewelry. "It occurred last night between nine o'clock and one or two in the morning. Young Trumbell went out to a dance. He didn't notice the theft until this rooming. He reported it to me immediately and I cam# to you." "Has the insurance company been notified?" "I presume so. That's TrtphbeU's business, not mine.". > "I see. How many students have you rooming in your house?" , "Eleven. All occupy small suites. There are two suites on each floor, except the top which is somewhat of a penthouse. Trumbell hired it. He's the son of C. K. Trumbell, the steel manufacturer. The upper floors are reached by an automatic, elevator. There is a fire escape on "the outside rear of the building." "Possibly one of the students on the lower floors, eh?" The little hian's jaw set firmly. "I repeat, my boys are above reproach." "Okay, okay. Let's get out there end have a look around." The building was one of many of similar architecture located in a quiet, residential section of the city not far from the university. Before entering, Haynes led the detective around back and showed him the fire escape. The type was familiar. Its last section was hung suspended some 20 feet above the ground, automatically lowering under the weight of a person descending. "It would be a simple matter," Haynes pointed out, "for anyone with a short ladder to reach the lower step." " "Apple pie to a second story man," Stokes agreed. ".Let's have a look inside." Haynes seemed worried. "You won't disturb any of my boys--" "All of 'em," Stokes interrupted. "And unless you stop beefing and get co-operative I'll do it in a manner you won't like." "Open the ctoor of the' rear apartment with your pass key," Stokes directed. "Don't knock. And never mind the front Apartments." As the door opened a youth, sitting in a chair with his feet on the bed, looked up from a book he was reading. Beside him on a table a radio played softly. The youth looked startled, switched off the radio and got to his feet. "Say--" "Take it easy, son," Stokes said briskly. "There's been a robbery. I'm from police headquarters." "A robbery? Here? In this house?" .j "That's right. Relax." Stokes crossed quickly to the window, opened it and looked out. Withdrawing his head, he stood a momeht in deep thought. Something was wrong and he couldn't place his finger on it. "Haynes, let mc have your pass keys. You two stay here. I'm going upstairs myself." Haynes opened his mouth to protest. Stokes jerked the keys out of his hands and went out, slamming the door. Twenty minutes later he was back. "Well," Haynes snapped, "are you satisfied? I suppose you've succeeded in creating a disturbance all over the house." "Shut up!" snapped Stokes. "Haynes, go out and press the button that calls the elevator. I walked down from the top floor. Go onl Do as I say!" When Haynes returned to the apartment after carrying out the order he stopped short, gaping. The youth was laying on the floor, blood streaming from a wound in his head, and Stokes was clamping handcuffs to his wrists. "He got nasty and I had to clip him," the detective explained matter- of-factly. "That theory of yours about someone gaining entrance by means of the fire escape and a lad der was cockeyed. The ground beneath the fire escape showed no- evidence of a ladder or anything else being used. That meant it was an inside job. When we entered this apartment the kid here snapped off the radio a little too quickly. It wasn't natural. Upstairs, I found all the other apartments deserted, so I switched on a radio, then Worked the elevator. The electric Itaotor created plenty of static. A man who checked his timing could tell how many floors the elevator Was descending by listening to the static on his radio. And that would be a dead give-away that Trumbell was out, because he's the only one who lives dn the sixth? Get it?".

George Baumblck had quite a time installing a new sink in the kitchen of his new home. It was Betty's job to measure the pipe while George cut it. All went well until little George, Jr., decided that he should have a piece- of the rule, and made it shorter by six inches. Then things went wrong and George, Sr., spent Sunday afternoon looking for a pipe stretcher while Betty massaged Junior's posterior with the hair brush.

News From Abroad This came to us a bit late bu.t we think the public should be informed of the terrible injustice suffered by one of our local boys, George Goranson, at the hands of a special police officer in McHenry on Halloween eve. George had just left the rehearsal for a Junior play in which he topk part at the McHenry high school, where he is a Junior and stopped to chat with his schoolmates when he was pounced upon by some main in plain clothes whh a shiney badge on his breast whe after giving George' a te' r'tic shakine accused him of | soaping the windows on his car.! George Gorenson was so badly shaken that he stood there speechless. The important looking gentleman with; the shiney badge then marched him i to the city jail where he was locked! up until 1a.m. George's pleas thatj ; his mother would be worried about; '.him as she expected him home at • 110:30, fell on deaf ears. Mrs. Gor-: enson in the meantime sat at her window frantically scanning the road j and praying that her son -.vould re- j turn home safely for George neverstayed out after 10:30. It was] not until three hours later that hei'j prayers were answered. Now to this i unknown gentleman with the shiney ' badge we wish to say that even if i this boy was puilty of the crimej of soaping the windows the penalty was far to severe to fit the offense and in this free America a murderer is innocent until proven guilty.
