mammy of "befor d' war" days to the
young white girl in her teens with evi

attire. Many have broods of children!
around them, others carry babies in
their arms. Color runs riot, the ban
danna kerchiefs of the negroes and the
vari-colored -clothing of all combining
to surpass the imagination.
It is the usual Saturday morning dis

poverty stricken, a custom begun in

My Dear Senator Fletcher:
Receipt Is acknowledged of your let
ter of June 6, 1918, relative to the
classification under the selective ser
vice law and regulations of men em
ployed in shipyards.
Employment In a shipyard does not
entitle a registrant to deferred classi
fication as such. Under the regula
tions the district board is given exclu
sive original Jurisdiction of all claims
for deferred classification on Indus
trial grounds, and its action is final
with respect to such claims, subject
to appeal to the president under Sec
tion 111 of the regulations. The dis
trict board may grant a registrant so
engaged deferred classification on in
dustrial grounds if In its opinion It
considers the industry in which he i
employed a necessary industry and the
registrant himself necessary thereto
within the meaning of Sections 80 to

89 of the regulations.
In addition to-the foregoing provis
ions of the selective service regula
tions. Sections 152 to 155 1-2. provide
a special list called the "Emergency
Fleet Classification List," upon which
registrants employed by companies en
gaged in the building or fitting of
ships under the supervision of the
navy department or Emergency Fleet
Corporation are placed when requests
are presented to the local boards
properly made out and signed by the
officials designated in Section 153. This
special listing Is equivalent to deferred
classification in Class V so lonsr and
only so long as the registrant remains
employed in this work. Imedlately
uponm leaving such employment a
registrant becomes subject to the
regulations and will be Inducted into
the military service in accordance with
his class and order number as pre
viously determined. It is not thought
that either the navy department or the
Emergency Fleet Corporation would
request to have a pay clerk or any
similar employe put upon the Emer
gency Fleet Classification List. Such
request would not be approved by this
office.

USEFUL TOAOES TO
BE TAUGHT
Id
Brighton, England, June 15. Sol
diers who have lost a leg but- whose
hands and sight are perfect are learn
ing diamond cutting and polishing in
this Atlantic City of England. They
are employed almost exclusively in an
Industry new to England and expect
before the war is over to compete on
a favorable basis with the more highly
skilled diamond cutters of Amsterdam
and Antwerp, where in pre-war days
there was a monopoly of the business.
Two large, modern four-story buildings
are being put up which when com
pleted will employ 1,800 discharged
soldiers.
Only ex-soldiers with unimpaired
eyesight and perfect control of their
fingers are taken because everything
depends on a man's accuracy of vision
and control of his hands. Even with
these qualities It takes a man a life
time to learn the trade.
First the men pass through a train
ing school. When a man is first ad
mltted he is put to work on marbles
such as he played with when a boy.
He cuts up and polishes the marbles
as he will later do with the real stones.
The marbles are first sawn in half,
and then grround into shape on a steel
disc. This serves to give him some
idea of the finished shape of the real
diamond, but it is impossible to get the
face even approximately correct, owing
to the softness of the marble.
Instead of cutting the 68 facets or
surfaces found on the finished bril
liant, the men cut six planes on the
marble, and afterward grind the base
roughly into the shape of the collet
or neck. When a man does this skill
fully he is given a small diamond to
cut. and it is a great day In a man's
training when this stage arrives. The
feeling that he has a Btone worth from
$100 to $250 in his possession to cut
and polish gives him a sense of re
sponsibility. While undergoing training the men
receive no wages, but they receive a
government allowance of about $7 a
week. After they have advanced far
enough to b entrusted with a dia
mond they are put on a wage basis
of from $10 to $20 a week, depending
on their ability. Their training usual
ly occupies a period of from three to
six months.

Washington Bureau
Pensacola Journal.
Washington, D. C June 15w Sena
tor Park Trammell of Florida has
taken up with the Director General
of Railways the question of modify
ing the recent rate Increases applicable
to fruits and vegetables shipped from
Florida,
"The truck growers of Florida are
dependent largely on reasonable
freight rates and prompt car service,"
said Senator Trammell today, "and if
these are not secured the risks as
sumed in truck growing are too great
to invite the truck farmers to attempt
maximum production.
Senator Trammell said he had
brought these facts to the attention
o the railway administration several
times in reference to prompt car ser
vice and that he now has up with Mr.
McAdoo's office the matter of freight
rates 'and the advisability of modify
ing the recently authorised increases
