    NEW YORK JEWELERS
TO QUIT MAIDEN LANE
District Has Been Home of
Gem Business for 80 Years.
New York.—No more diamonds will
b« stolen from Maiden Lane by "gem
bandits” after next spring. Police
learned that no ambitious plots for
fortunes in pearls, rubies, rhinestones
or amethysts cun be carried out then
and there. Not thut there won't be
any robbers left to operate, but there
won't be any gems to operate on.
The diamond district is moving up
town. Malden Lane, for more than
eighty years the home of the watch,
diamond and Jewelry trade, will be
come Just plain Malden Lane In a few
months. Firms which have been es
tablished in this street for more than
fifty years have made arrangements
to move to a new center In Forty-sev
enth street.
There has been a gradual exodus
from Malden Lane for some time, fol
lowing the general trend northward
of both wholesale nnd retail trade.
But there has been no concerted
movement until the present one, ar
rangements for which have been per
fected during the last year.
The pioneers among the dealers who
moved up town settled on Fifth ave
nue. Now the others virtually will
take possession of Forty-seventh street
from Fifth avenue to Sixth avenue.
This will tend to concentrate the shop
ping centers of all types In one dis
trict. taking into account the north
ward movement of department stores
as well as jewelers.

Cop Emulates Solomon;
Geese Pick Out Owner
Fairfield, Conn.—Tony Moddert, whr
recently lost a flock of cherished geese
got a tip to look for the missing birds
In the chicken coop of George Vasco
a neighbor. He did so and found th*
coop full of geese.
Averring that he recognized the
geese and the geese recognized him
Tony started to- take them away
George objected vehemently and finally
called Policeman Bennett, who listened
to the arguments of both sides am*
rendered a decision that the birds
should be turned loose. The decision
was executed and the geese promptly
made for Tony’s house, cackling In de
light or terror, according to the vary
lng Interpretations of Tony and
George.
“Sure, them ducks belong to Tony,”
announced Bennett, eminently satisfied
with the vindication of his decision, hut
George Is threatening a civil suit to get
the geese back.
U. S. Eats 45,093,892
Bunches of Bananas
Washington.—Every man, woman
and child In the United States ate two
fifths of a burn'll of bananas during
1922, or at least the total number
consumed. If divided equally among
the entire population would have
given each that amount. During that
year 45,09.3,892 hunches of bananas
were Imported Into this country valued
at $19,145,911.
This country also bought abroad
during 1922 around 111,005,000 pounds
of lemons, 34,712,185 pounds of figs,
53,606,000 pounds of dates and 21,437,
820 pounds of currants.
English Roads Safe
London.—There was only one rail
way accident In England Involving
logs of life during 1923, according to
the Railway Gazette. This was at
Dlggle In July, when two passengers
were killed. Since the beginning of
the present century there have heel;
two years—1901 and 1908-—without a
single fatality to passengers. In only
three years have more than live peo
ple been killed, and In twenty-three
years the number totals seventy three

War Department Gives Plan
for 1924 C. M. T. C.
Washington.—War department plans
for the 1924 summer training ramps
marie public recently disclose that
! fort} thousand students between sev
enteen and twenty-four years old will
be enrolled throughout the country for
Instruction at the citizens' military
i training camps, which open in ull army
corps areas August 1.
These camps are an extension of the
Plattslmrg Idea of 1915, favorite Amer
icanization plan of Theodore Roose
velt. They offer a thirty-days’ course
in outdoor training to volunteer can
didates who can measure up to the
moral and physical standards set by
the War department All expense Is
borne by the government.
Instruction Is divided Into four
groups, designated as the basic, red.
white and blue courses. In the basic
course, only the elementary drills are
to be taught, athletics and citizenship
studies receiving the principal atten
tion But students In the advanced
classes may specialize In Infantry, cav
alry, engineers or other branches of the
service.
As a result of experiments at the
1923 camps. Important changes, to go
Into effect In the camps this year, ap
pear In the War department announce
ment. Advanced students, who have
attended previous camps, will go Into
the ranks with the regulars, drilling,
hiking and shooting alongside seasoned
veterans. These youths, however, will
occupy quarters and take their meals
with the main body of C. M. T. C.
candidates.
Reserve officers, who are specialists
In various fields, are to be called to
active duty for much of the nonmlll
tary studies this year, the troops of
the regular army being used largely
for drill Instruction and field maneuv
ers. •
By arrangement wdth Secretary
Weeks, the Military Trulnlng Camps
association has undertaken to launch
a nation-wide campaign to bring the
benefits of a course at the C. M. T.
camps to the attention of eligible
youths.
Young Girl Evangelist
Converts Thousands
I
San Francisco, Cal.—Uldlne Utley,
eleven-year-old girl evangelist, con
ducted her first hlg meeting In San
Francisco. The child has been preach
lng for six months and has made thou
sands of converts She Is a blue-eyed,
golden-haired, a laughing, rollicking
youngster like any other little girl of
[ eleven, and yet from her lips fall such
phrases as: “The main points of my
commission are three In number: Sal
vation, divine healing and baptism of
the Holy Spirit.”
“I firmly believe In the doctrine of
the immaculate conception—In the vlr
gin birth." "I'm a fundamentalist as
opposed to the school of modernists—
the latter don’t accept every word of
Holy Writ, whereas the fundamentalist
says each line of the Bible Is literally
true."

HERE COMES “JIG TIME”
Claire I)e Vine With Moran & Wiser
Head Great Show at Gayety.
Many rare and colorful stage pic
tures and musical numbers are said
! to be magnificently presented in “Jig
Time”, next week’s mammoth revue
! at the popular Gayety theatre. In
: two acts and seventeen scenes, it is
i one of the most pretentious offerings
in Columbia burlesque. A talented
company, that while new to the pa
trons of burlesque, has won approval
in musical comedy, vaudeville and the
cabarets, furnishes the entertainment
of the piece.
This aggregation of talent is headed
by Claire DeVine, a statuesque beauty
who acts as both prima donna and
comedienne of the piece. In the star’s
immediate support1 are such lumina
ries as Moran and Wiser, former
vaudeville and musical comedy head
liners, whose act in a hat shop is said
to be one of the rare novelties of the
theatre: the Dancing Donnellys, two
of the cleverest dancers seen in some
time: Artie Mayo, noted as one of the
I best dialect eccentric comedians on the
: stage: Helen and Agnes Harrington,
dainty girls who do a twin specialty
of sweet song and captivating dance,
and Jimmie Lake, who is both an ex
cellent actor and writer of musical
j plays.
The hand picked beauty chorus of
I ‘Jig Time” is said to justify all the
j glowing advance reports that have
] preceded it. Not only does it possess
more than its share of comeliness,
j but its members are capable of doing
much greater things on the stage than
'their present positions afford them op
portunity of doing.
In one scene the choristers are given
j individual specialties to perform and
they acquit themselves in a most
j creditable and satisfactory manner.
Nor have the fair maids of the en
semble been neglected in the way of
waring apparel, the costumes being
[especially exquisite in their! blpnding
of color, design and fabric.
Henry Dixon and Jimmie I,ake are
both the producers and the authors
of the show, Mr. Dixon having also
| staged the book. The numbers have
been put on by Ben Bernard, accredit
l ed with being extremely expert in this
line of work. James Madden is the
composer of many tuneful and jingly
i melodies.
Sunday’s matinee starts at 3:00.
BETHEL A. M. E. CHURCH
