REPLICa v»F AFRICAN DIAMOND MINE PROVIDES
THRILLS FOR A CENTERY OF PROGRESS VISITOR,c
Chicago. June 00— A complete
corking model of a South African
diamond mine with a 800 foot tun
cel. a display of diamond polish
Ing and cutting In full operation,
and almost a million dollars’ worth
of rare diamonds of all sizes are on
display at A Century of Progress
ive Chicago World's Pair.
The display, known as the Ida
aaoud Exhibit, is located in the
General Exhibits Group of the Pair
and is sponsored hy the Chicago
Jewelers' Association in co-opera
tion with the Museum of Science
and Industry
The mine tunnel is fifteen feet
beneath the floor of the General
Exhibits building, below the level
of l-ake Michigan. A 28-foot dio
rama of a typical South African
diamond field surrounds the open
ing of the pit. The visitor enters
the tunnel by means of an elevator
and forthwith is plunged 1.500
feet into the depths of the earth,
or so it seems. Actually the ele
vator descends fifteen feet, hut by
means of endless, moving curtains,
the rush of air. sound effects, and
the damp, pungent smell of a mine,
the illusion of a long descent Is
created
Typical Diamond Mine.
Pown below: the visitor will find
a typical diamond mine tunnel with
every phase of diamond mining In
full operation. Miners drill for ore
and load it onto a cart by which
it is hauled to the compound. In
the compound, which is surrounded
by African native tints and enclosed
in barbed wire entanglements
(electrically charged to prevent es
cape) tlie diamond rock is pulver
ized and reduced with water to a
soupy condition. This fluid flows
over the agitator tables where a
sp mi grease catches the dia
n s.
i he rough diamonds are sorted
and the pure gems of the jewelry
trade separated from the borts.
which are used in industrial work
only.
The visitor is then "rocketed'’ to
the surface again, where he is
privileged to gaze upon almost a
million dollars' worth of rough
diamonds and gems, some of them
possessing histories extending back
for centuries. One of these is the
Hotz diamond of 42 carats, which
once adorned the crown of the Eai
jvmr Maximilian of Mexico. The
d id was loaned to the exhibi
ltois by its present owner, Ferdi
mind Hutz nt Chicago IJltle is

tlial it was prohahly found In the
diamond fields of Brazil long be

mines in South Africa. The mad
Queen t'harlotte tied with it to
Spain after Maximilian had been
killed during the revolt which end
ed his reign. This is the first
exhihitinn of the diamond in fifteen
years

Patterned after the African diamond mines, miners operate air drills and wheel out ‘‘diamonds^’ in the
rough in the same manner as the Kaffir boys at Chicago’s World’s Fair. Cellri, one of the Kaffir boys, is

Plan Tobacco Tax
To Aid Growers
Of Cigar Leaf
A processing tax of about six
cents a pound will be put into ef
fect soon on cigar leaf tobaccos to
finance a program of reducing the
acreage of this year’s crop.
The plan was outlined by ad
ministrators of the farm act in
their first application of its pro
visions to one of the 25 varieties
of the tobacco crop.
The acreage reduction plan will:
be put into effect starting next!
week with curtailments to 1^
sought in the New England, Ohio-j
Indiana, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania-i
New York, and Georgia-Florida
districts to which the growing of
cigar leaf tobacco is limited.
Farmers will be paid cash bene
fits in return for reducing the ac
reage of their growing crop. Up
to a 50 per cent reduction of their:
base acreage will be sought, with1
each farmer to be given his choice
of three clans.
He may take as a base 80 peri
cent of the average acreage plant
ed to tobacco on his farm in 193 lj
and 1932.
Or, he may take as a base the
acreage planted to tobacco on his
farm in 1932, provided the acre-'
age planted in 1932 did not ex-‘
ceed that planted in 1931;
Or, if the acreage planted on his
farm in 1932 was greater than
that of 1931, he may take as a base .
the average planted in 1931 and1,
1932.
For agreeing to take out of pro- ,
duction 50 per cent of his base ,
acreage, each cigar filler and bind- ,
er tobacco grower will receive, ,
first a cash payment for each acre
of his reduction, plus a second |
payment of 40 per cent of his av- i
erage returns per acre on all to- i
bacco harvested by him in 1931. i

Roses Will Respond
To Soil Preparation
The principal factor in having
a successful rose garden lies in pre
paring the soil carefully and keep
ing the bushes protected with
spray.
In the spring of 1932, Glenn O.
Randall, Horticulturist at Statt
College, decided to have a rose
garden on the agricultural campus.
Using student labor largely, he
set some 300 plants of about 30
different varieties both as a test of
the varieties and as a test of grow
ing conditions.
The plants weijt set in early
spring in soil that had been care
fully prepared. A good applica
tion of decayed manure was mix
ed with the soil before the plants
were set. Later a small handful,
of a 7-5-S fertilizer was applied1
around each bush. The first appli
cation was carefully worked into
the soil about the first week in j
May. A second application was,1
made in the same manner in early j
July. This treatment, he said,j
made a healthy, vigorous growth. J
However Randall fnnnd rkaf fie
must protect the roses with the!
right sort of spray. The Bordeaux)
mixture and sodium thio-sulphatei
ivere used. The latter material,!
tnown commercially as Hypo, was!
iscd at the rate of one tablespoon-,
:ul to thr<;e gallons of water andj
jave protection from rose mildew
ind other leaf diseases. The Bor
leaux mixture was used for con
rol of blackspot, mildew and oth
■r diseases. The onb' drawback to
ising the Bordeaux is that it will
1'iscolor the buds. Hypo does not
lo this.
Randall protected the roses from
ilant lice and aphids by spraying
eith a solution of nicotine sulphate
nade by mixing one tablespoonful
o three gallons of water. As a
esult the college rose garden has
resented a beautiful sight this
eason. J

Here’s How!
ANNETTE HANSHAW
CURVES are back in style, and
slim little Annette Hanshaw.
blues singer of Captain Henry’s
Maxwell House Show Boat, is gain
ing weight in accordance with the
dictates of fashion.
It’s all done by using two and
one-half pints of cream a day. Every
day she drinks three glasses of
straight cream; one at 11 o’clock
in the morning, one at 4:30 in the
afternoon, and one before bedtime.
She also uses cream generously on
her cereals and in her coffee. So
far Annette has gained ten pounds
in as many days and now weighs
. . . ooh ... 97 pounds.
Ninety-seven pounds is not very
much blues singer, but even 9.7
pounds is a lot more than Annette
weighed when she made her first
professional appearance. She was
two years old then and got a lollipop
for her first song. She thought
it was a good racket, as she liked
to sing anyhow, so She has been
chanting the blues ever since. The
genial Captain Henry gives her
more than a lollipop for her show
boat singing though.
THERE IS some excuse for
ighing for the good old days when'
racket was just a loud noise.
MOST MEN who sell their
ionor are merely junk dealers.

Safety Pointers
For Vacation
Safe and sane vacations are urg
ed by the First Aid and Life Sav
ing Service of the Amer'can Red
Cross which offers the fol'owing
suggestions:
Sunburn.—Dangerous: Acquire
ten gradually. Avoid mid-day ravs.
Graduate the period of exposure a
few minutes each day until skin is
toughened and tanned Until such
time make a practice of wearing a
shirt, bathrobe or other covering
at beach except when actually in
water. Calamine lotion gives con
siderable relief and may be safely
applied to the skin several times a
day. Especially avoid a burn upon
a burn.
Swimming.—Know your swing
ing place. Explore thoroughly for
hidden rocks, holes and glass—but
not with your bare feet. Never
swim alone—Swimming in twos is
more fun and far safer. Never dive
in less than six feet of water, and
make allowance or changes in tide
water depths. Always wait at least
two hours after eating before en
tering the water.
Drinking Water.—Take no
chances. If in the least doubt as to
purity, boil. In some states, health
department signs posted at springs
md other sources indicate whether
the water is fit or unfit for human
consumption.
Food—Food poisoning is of fre
quent occurrence in the warm
months, due to the rapidity with
which food spoils. Prepare small
amounts at a time. Chicken, fish
and potatoes are particularly like
ly to make one ill, if not properly
refrigerated. Protect from possi
ble contamination. Do not eat ex
cessively or when overheated.
Fire.—Always bury or quench
the embers before retiring or leav
ing the camp site.
Poison Ivy.—Learn to recognize
this plant, and then carefully avoid
it. Ivy oak and sumac poisoning
are caused by an irritating oil pre
sent on the leaves. Poisoning re
sults readily from contact with
smoke from the burning leaves,
'the skin should be washed imme
diately and thoroughly with warm
water and soap. If poisoning oc
curs anyway, apply calamine lotion,
or a solution of ferric chloride.
Another good treatment is the ap
plication of dressings wet with a
solution of Epsom salts, as strong
as can be made with cold water;
keep dressings wet. if at all severe
consult a physician.
insects.—rlowers or sulphur ap
plied to the skin helps to prevent
chigger bites. Mosquitoes may be
kept away for a couple of hours
by rubbing a few drops of oil of
lavender over the exposed surfaces
—but this does not take the place
of adequate screening or netting.:
The itching can be relieved by ap-!
plying calamine lotion several times1
daily. Inflammation from other j
insect bites can be relieved by ap
plying compresses wet with cold
Epson salts or baking soda solu
tions.
First Aid Kit.—Keep stock:-!
and conveniently at hand in fish- J
ing kit, automobile or kitchen, i
Cuts and abrasions are among *-he
commonest of vacations accidents.
Small wounds should be given
prompt attention. Apply half-j
strength tincture of iodine nr
wounds, allow to dry, and apply a
sterile dressing.
POPULATION IS JUMPING
The population of the United
States has increased 2,9! 7,954
since April 1, 1930, to a new high^
of 125,693,000.
So declared the census bureau in
presenting some complicated ad
ditions, subtractions and divisions
arrived at by estimating the in
crease since the 1930 census on the
basis of the available data regard
ing births, deaths, immigration
and emigration.
In the estimated population by
states, North Carolina shows an
.ncrease of 104,727, the population
f 1930 being 3,170,276, and that
of 1933 estimated at 3,275,000.
South Carolina’s population is esti
mated at 1,748,000, against 1,
738,765 in 1930.
