DIAMOND DEMAND
EXCEEDS SUPPLY
Stocks of Importers Arc Said
to Be Practically Ex
hausted
! Yew York—Tho demand for dia
|vnoml not only in this country, but
all ovtr tho world so far exceeds the
•supply, that the stocks of importers
{and cutters are practically exhausted
tiny are unable to till the orders!
i their retail customers.
This condition, according to an Irn
jportei, is <luo chiefly to the prosperity!
I f the country. The war-time period
<>'* bonanza wages has made the
working •people the nation's greatest
diamond buyers. This class has ah-;
•orbed a large portion of the small;
stones on tho market hut the rich!
1 man is as badly off as the man of;
| moderate circumstances, because the j
larger end more valuable diamonds
| are ar* also scarce.
KOIIKII IllamoiidN Scarce
The situation has heen aggravated
1> the fact that shipments from Ku- j
rope have heen fewer in comparison
to the demand: that rough diamonds
.are scarcer than in years: and thatj
I the production of th* South African
| mines has been affected not only by
|th policy of the De Peers Consolidat
ed Company to conserve the diamond
J supply but by the ravages of the in
• tluenza epidemic among- mine work
ers.
In addition, the news from Europe'
lis that the sales of diamonds and;
coins of all kinds Is unprecedented.!
The demand in England and France j
ifj't diamonds of all sizes and quail-|
t'es Is great but greater still In such j
neutral nations as Denmark, Holland.
; Sweden and Switzerland. Even in |
! Oormany and Russia, the sales of dia
monds are far above those before the I
war. The demand for diamonds is 1
heavv nlso in all the American
jcruntrles India. Japan and Australia.;
With a circumscribed output of rough,
•tones, all the w rid Is buying dla-l
1 monds as never before.
Normnl Statu* I'nscen
"I have never seen such a confii- I
! Con in the diamond trade." said a I
j large importer. "For the first time in?
jh'story the "demand for diamonds isj
I fa r ahead of the supply in sight and
j >t will he a long time before the mar
i ket gets hack to its old normal level.
! There are Practically no diamonds in
' toek in this country. The stocks
have been absorbed and there is no
hanee to recoup because as fast as
gems come in they are taken tin.
Mv own firm attempted to anticipate
conctt : ons bv Importing several
months ago the largest shipment of
rough diamonds we ever received.
Put this entire shipment was snapped
un and to-day we have not in stock
in por rent of the amount of goods
Iwo usually feel it necessary to carry
at iG|s season of the year.
' "There 1s no doubt in my mind that

a few days or weeks under the pre

Sound Heart Only
Qualifications.
London, April 15. The fact that
only young men. capable of passing
severe physical tests, were accepted
for aviation work during the war. has
! caused tho belief that flying as a sport
I will be barred to persons past the
j prime of youth. That is a mistake,
[according to British experts, who say
; that for ordinary peace-time flying
ithere should ho no age limit. The only
' qualifications they set are good eye
sight and a sound heart.
i Plying an airplane, it is pointed
lout, is much simpler, and far less
net v.-racking than driving an auto
! mobile or sailing a yacht. Any man
• who has lived a decent, open-air life,
II specially if he lias played games and
(hunted, will flnd that learning to fly,
I even ■( the age of 50, is quite an easy
II usiness. experts say. A modern a : r-
J plane will virtually fly itself, and the
controls are so arranged that a man,
[even on his first trip, it is argued,
[does the right thing instinctively.
! In the early days of the war fully
, 50 per cent, of British airmen were
'over GO years old. As the art of
I aerial warfare developed the pilot
j lied to prove himself proficient In
( bombing. wireless telegraphy, forma
tion flying, cloud navigation and the
I numerous stunts that became csen
jtial for the nirlighter. This was ttie
phase of war-flying that called for
I iron nerve and fear-blindness, elimi-
I noting all aspirants except the young.
