THE DIAMOND
Composed of pure carbon,
hardest th’ g Jn nature: known to
the Greeks as "adamas,” to the
Romans as "dlama*” possessing
qualities to withstand eternity, the
diamond of today is the same
changeless, undimmed, gleaming,
fascinating thing of beauty as a
thousand years ago. “Age cannot
wither nor custom stale Its in-
finite variety," if one may be pcr-

from Anleny and Cleopatra.
TTie Book pt Exodus (xxviii IS)
tells that the children of Israel or-
namented the breastplate of their
High Priest with rows of gleaming
stones, “and the second row shall
be an emerald, a sapphire and a
diamond.”
Nearly every precious gem has
found place as a natal gem of
those born in 'he different months.
By common consent the diamond
belongs to April, where it shares
the honors with the sapphire. As
a tallsmanlc gem those borti in
August rely solely upon it for
tection.
The sentiment believed to
expression in the diamond is
Ity. In superstition it is credited
with powers to preserve peace and
I to avert storms.
In ancient times all diamonds
I camo from India; then Brazil took
the lead. Since 1867 the famous
blue clay of the Kimberley district
of South Africa has led the world
in diamond output, supplying
four-fifths of the annual demand.
Amsterdam is the home of dia-
mond cutting, but much fine
work is now being done in this
country. The United States is the
largest diamond buyer. Within
the past four years no less than
$80,000,000 worth have found
their way to this land.
The diamond has a commercial
value outside its worth as a gem.
Being the hardest thing in nature,
it has a distinct pse in cutting

the dugout and the sod
were used by
settlers?
Rude shanties
rough lumber housed
our pioneer*, In places
lumber was to be found
were made of logs hewn
and plastered with clay.
There were "half dugouts'*
also. These were houses half
under ground; the upper half
was built of lumber, stone, or
sod. In some sections of the
country where there was good
building stone the pioneer farm-
er sometimes made his house of
that material.
Many families lived for years
In a home that consisted of a
dugout and a small "bos" or
stood in front of it. The dugout
served as a kitchen and dining
room, and perhaps bedroom, too;
‘ the board shanty was a combined
’ living room and bedroom.
For use during the summei
month* the settler often built a
rude arbor, not unlike the wick-
1-up of the Plains Indians.

THE WOMAN OF IT
By MARGVERITE MOOERS MARSHALLAIDING INDIGENT LITIGANTS
(Christian Science Monitor) ;
IN THE THOUGHT of thousands upon thousands of aliens.
who have sought refuge and opportunity in the United
States, the word which stands as synonym
industrial liberty is justice. If many of these, who hav
xsondht voluntary exile in a strange land have teen disap
pointed in this realization of the full measure of human ib-1
. rt v as thev understand it, if their rudimentarj ideals have
teen ^hattcri andI if they have hesitated when urged to |
surrender finally their hereditary allegiance and to pledge.
themselves to what they have been told or have come to |
believe is Americanism’, it perhaps is because they have
failed to realize, or have teen selfishly or thoughtle..
denied that measure of industrial and social justice which .
should’be an accompaniment of industrial, social and pohtica
liberty*
Especially in the larger cities of the United States, where.
alien populations abound, and whete the civil iand> cnnu^
courts are congested with cases to be disposed of, the defend
mXclsed of an offense against the law or a plaintif.seek-
ing to have some civil right enforced, suffers a serious handi-
cap if he is unable to employ and pay counsel. He suffers a
additional handicap if by chance he is unable to understand
£2 the Kish language. It i» the duty of the court,
of course to provide counsel for indigent defendants in cum
tad S. But one who has observed the application of th s
supposedly generous and humane rule is often compelled to
Sheve that the ends of justice are not always conserved by
the process. The indigent complainant who seeks redress
tor sonw actual or supped wrong is in an even worse pre-
dicament His cause is hopeless if he is obliged to depend
upon his own efforts. Failing to obtain what seems to him
ti be the simplest justice, he is inclined to regard the entire
political and social fabric of government as an
against which he is justified in entering into secret rebellion. |
In New York, as well as in some of the other large cities
of the country, determined efforts are being made by mem-
bers of the bar affiliated with legal defense associations to
nrovide adequate representation in the courts for both the
^idiiient complainant who believes himself to have a worth)
causl and the indigent defendant, formerly left to the mercy
of lawvers because they accept such assigiiments ^^se
they seldom interfere with more important business. Gen-
erous contributions have made it possible for the commitUc
In charge of this work in New York to provide reputable
•ounsel in such cases, thus assuring, as nearly as possible,
orderly procedure and ultimate justice.
Such an undertaking is highly commendable. The illiterate
or impoverished litigant, whether he be complainant or
defencant, should not be permitted to remain under the
prejudicial impression that justice is a commodity whica
must be purchased. Justice, more than theortticallj,
synonymous with freedom and liberty. Unless they go hand
in hand there is a failure to realize one or the other, and
nerhaps all. Americanism and Americanization have heeA
held up as the ideal and the realization of a great democracy.
Its champions must make apparent the fact that genuine
Americanism is more than a superficial condition.*“ A Democratic Newspaper

These two perennially inte.-est-
