2 DIAMONDS AND PEARLS WILI INCREASE IN VALUE Production of Gems Stopped Since Out break of the War and Amsterdam and Antwerp Cutters Close Their Factories Now York, ,lau. 22.—Prices of dia monds ami pearls are due to advance steadily and substantially for a long time to come, according to Ludwig Xis scn, president of the American Jew elers' Protective Association, says the New York "Commercial." Mr. Nissen credits this condition both to the war and to methods of production, and he explained the situation to a reporter yesterday, as follows: "The .production of diamonds has absolutely stopped since the beginning of the w«r, August 1. The Dcßeers '.Mining Company dosed its mines at that time, and Ihe London syndicate,! which is under contract to take the whole output of the Deßeers Mining Company for » number of years to come, closed its offices as well, refusing even to submit 'the sights' they hail agreed to, with the buyers ol' the rough. The precautionary measure, of course, was taken for the purpose of furnishing no excuse for a possible fear of a slump in diamonds.

S. Census Expert Says These Figures Will Be Beached by April 2 Washington, Jan. 22. At 4 p. m., April 2, the population o£ the Unite*! States will have reached and passed the 100,000,000 mark, according to C. D.-©loime, geographer of the Census Bureau, who estimates the population at that hour will l>e 100,000,000. J. S. McCoy, Actuary of the Treasury De partment, however, calculat.es the popu lation will be 100,0115,000 on February 1, and that the 100,000,000 mark will be reached on January 27 or 28. In the Census Bureau the direct in crease as shown by the difference in population in 1900 and 1910 is taken. Bv that system the country woul.l con tain 100,399,318 persons on July 1, 1915, and more titan 108,000,000 on July 1, 1920. Actuary McOoy arrived at his con clusions by including in his calculations what he calls titc factor of second (dif ferences. By that system he estimates j the continental population of January 10, last, at 99,875,000; February 1, 100,016,000 and July 1, 100,725,000 On Julv 1, 1920, Mr. McCoy estimates it will "be 109,339,000. I Census Bureau officials said ye.-4t.er dav that decreased immigration would find their figures approximately ac curate. Mr. McCoy, on the other hand, believes the conclusion of the European war will see a tide of immigration from war torn countries that will make his estimates conservative.

Frank Burt, author of this new musicai-buriesque, has con structed much that is original, catchy and tuneful and there are 40 -people in the cast. The chorus, which is, of course, indispensable in the presenta tion of burlesque, is composed of a score of youthful misses who can sing and dance as well as appear attractive. The production of this elaborate ex travaganza and burlesque requires much in the way of stage setting and cos tumes, and the management have been careful in supplying this. Notwith standing that the iburlesques are alive with music and specialties, an olio of exceptionally strong vaudeville num bers, is an important feature of tihe bill.

What a name Ellen Terry's has been to conjure with! What an asset to an actor or actress to have that same name! Always "One of the Terrys," an all-sufficing, proud nomenclature, in deed. And to think that »t should be so honored, so reVcred; the name of what in Shakespeare's days would have been a "Vagabond" family. Truly, the vagabonds have come into their own through Ellen Terry. Would Irving have been so great without his association with that name? Irving and Terry, always linked in the great days of the old Lyceum.
