DtamondfhaTe a peculiar effect on (those who hunt them, said Mr. La (Varre, on board the Van Renssaeler Just before It started on Its long voy age to Paramaribo, which will be the Jjfa Varre headquarters. Those who find jpreclous metals look on them simply .nas money. But a diamond apparently (takes on a personality or at least such -n strong attraction mat ine nnuer nates to part with It As proof, he told of bush negroes who, having sold him laeir aiamonus, came oacn aay aiier nnY mir rn Tnncn rnom nirnin wv nn the diamonds finally were shipped to .(Amsterdam, their former owners were heart-broken. Miserably poor bush ne igroes often refuse all offers for dla tmonds, weighing 10 carats and up, 'simply because they cannot part with ithem. It gets "everybody," said Mr. LaVarre and hence tbe visit to the museum. ) ' To the people of the bush, Mr. La- Varre will tell of having handled the greatest diamond In the world. He will explain its size and weight and Show it felt to hold It in his hand. jThose who listen, will be largely "pork (knockers," who will be In his employ. "Pork knockers" are former sugar and rice plantation hands thrown out of employment by tbe depression. They unite in bands of from six to ten and -'; go diamond hunting. Having no finan cial backing, they are unable to pur chase supplies. So they live largely en the wild pigs peccaries of the region, which they kill with clubs. Thus, why they were called "pork knockers" becomes apparent ' Lucius Beebe, probably the most ur ban of various columnists hereabouts, spent three successive week-ends In the country. On the first a bee stung him. That was painful, but on his next trip he had a worse experience he was so severely sunburned he bad to go into retirement for two days. He made one more try, however, and came back with a severe attack of poison Ivy. So now be is determined to get no nearer the country than a roof gar den. Street scene: From the windows of a ground floor tenement, the walls of an infant In distress. Every driver passing the house moving with unusual care and without blowing horns. At the corner, a ragged youngster warn ing motorists and truckmen, "Dere's a sick kid In dls block." Gentle and white-haired Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Mahnkey of Forsythe, Mo., a visitor In New York, because In a maga zine contest she was adjudged the best rural correspondent In the country, told of how when she first began writ ing 44 years ago, she recorded the birth of a little girl. As that little girl grew up, ber parties were described by Mrs. Mahnkey. Then came her marriage and the birth of her . children. Re cently, Mrs. Mahnkey completed the record the obituary of the woman of whose birth she had written. Few, If any, metropolitan reporters have such an experience. Bell Syndicate, WNU Servto. Ohio Will Lose Island Prison It Used in 1861 Sandusky, Ohio. One of Ohio's most notable historical landmarks, the Civil war blockhouse on Johnson's Island in Sandusky bay, is facing oblivion. Severely damaged in a recent, .wind storm, the old prison structure Is be ing torn to pieces by persons seeking firewood.

Girl Speeder Gets Trip Through Morgue San Francisco. "A trip through the morgue is worse than a Jail sen tence." Thus, in a Jittery voice, Violet Rudolph, twenty-four, protested against the 'sentence imposed upon her by Municipal Judge Elmer Bob lnson for reckless driving. The Judge ordered her to view bodies in the morgue as a lesson." She was escorted by a deputy cor-, oner into the autopsy room and the "icebox. 7 where bodies ' are " kept pending " Investigations. - .The . girl nearly fainted several times. - - -' Td rather spend 100 days In Jail Chan go through this again,1 the girl said. . ,. ,,f',l ;? if - fU? f "1-5 ; llmeam Employe S?e;tai J ' posea.lt ool Modem One. . London. The bright idea- of an a slstant In the cartographical "depart- meat of the British museum is respon slble for one . of the most Important discoveries, la regard to the Boman occupation of Britain ever made. - .- Only about 200 miles f the roads built by the Romans have so far been uncovered. it Is now possible to plot their entire - system ' of several thou sand miles. Moreover, it is revealed that many rural roads which were sup posed to have been evolved, from cattle paths have In reality .a Boman founda tion. This, however, only applies to straight roads. The discovery was made in this: way: A set of ordnance survey maps show ing, among other things, all modern roads, streets, lanes and paths had been received at the cartographical de parement for filing. There was also on file there a Roman map of Britain showing the 200 miles of the roads that had been laid bare, besides other Identified Roman remains. Verifies by Digging. The clerk made a map of this on the same scale as the other aud super imposed it In many cases the Roman roads covered tbe modern for a cer tain distance but only where the latter were straight or crossed each other at right angles. Then the young man went digging. Under the surface of a few modern roads he found the remains of the Roman; In dugglng In fields where a continuation of the Roman road -was Indicated, he found It Thus his super imposed map was gradually filled in with extensions of known Boman roads, and with new ones, where meas urements showed Boman roads should exist and he had proved did exist Although his work is still Incom plete he has announced his discovery, and permitted a "correpsondent" of the Times of London to exploit it In that paper with a map showing bis plotting covering the area along Ermine street north and south of Lincoln, In Lincoln shire, northeast of Derby. This map reveals the two clues which he followed: first that all the modern local roads for miles leave Ermine street at right angles to its course an unusual thing In regard to the "rolling English road," which usually seeks a path of least resist ance; second, that south of Lincoln the principal roads opposite Harms ton, Coleby, Boothby, etc, leave Er mine street and run due east, and after a mile or so of straight running meet a partly uncovered Roman road run ning parallel to It. He contluues: For Definite Purpose. "Beyond all doubt these roads were nnt hv one authority for some definite purpose. They differ In every way from our normal English roads, which co with certain flexuosltles from one village to another. But here in Lincoln Is a series of roads, which run in a dead straight line and mostly from places of no Importance to des tlnatlons of no evident usefulness. No one doubts that Lincoln was a Uonian city and a Boman gate remains to this day. But no one nas yet sug gested that all this strange chess hnnrd area north and south of the city bears an Imprint In roads and parish hntinriaries which can only be tnnt oi th colour of 1.8W years ago. fet there would sm to be no other ex planation." Omaha Cupid Disguised as a Chihuahua Puppy - Omaha. Cupid arrived in Omaha disguised as a Chihuahua puppy. - Da vid Anderson, , twenty-nlne-year-old railroad switchman, sent Miss Jean T. Grant, twenty-seven,, a Chihuahua dog named Trlxle from New Orleans, where he was transferred. ' When An derson returned to Omaha, Miss Grant offered to return tbe dog to him, know ing that Anderson also cared for It A typical Alphonse and Gaston act fol lowed, with neither wishing to deprive the other of the pet Marriage was the only solution to enable both to own the dog. Trixle attended the wedding and delayed ' the ceremony while the groom dashed to a taxicab for a blanket to relieve Trlxie's shllL Sodium Lights Conquer Fogs on Pacific Coast : Olympla, WaBn,Dense fog . vapors that choke arterial highways In definite fog belts of the state of Washington may be conquered if a state sponsored experiment proves successful. ...
