GERMAN TOWN CONSIDERED ONE
OF WORLD CENTERS FOR
THE INDUSTRY
SPECIMENS DISPLAYED
Total Of 25,0WO Men Reported To Be
Engaged In Industry With
300 At IdarI
"Idar is one of the great centers of
the world for gem cutting. It is to
that village that buyers from all over
the world make pilgrimages." Thus,
Dean Edward H. Kraus, of the Sum-
mer session, summed up his illus-
trated lecture on "The Gem Cutters
of Idar-on-the-Nahe," which was pre-
sented yesterday afternoon in th
Natural Science auditorium.
"Whenever you happen to go into
a bazaar and see an agate articlte,
such as this," continued the Dean as
he indicated some speciments of
agate work from Idar which were
displayed on the lecture table, "you
will know that it come sfrom Idar."
Slides Are Shownj
Dean Kraus by means of slides
showed the Idar cutters at work. They
lie upon their stomachs, in some
cases, so that by means of cleats for
their toes, they may exert a greater
pressure on the stone that they are
cutting. "This system, however," said
the Dean, "was bad because it threw
the weight of the man upon his chest
and tuberculosis became prominent.
Nowadays the cutters usually sit at
their work."
In connection with Idar Dean Kraus
also mentioned the industry of bead
drilling, and that of engraving, show-
ing slides upon those subjects. He
told'of how several years ago, when
agate was scarce, that a group of the
cutters from Idar left their homes
for Brazil, where all being musicians,
they formed a German band. One of!
the members of this band happened
to notice a type of rock in a stream
he was passing that resembled the
rock that he had once cut in Idar.j
He sent it home, and the people dis-
covered that it was a substitute for
the agate that they had been using
although it had to be dyed before it
could be commercially practical.
- Traces Methods
At/ the beginning of his Idcture
Dean Kraus- traced the different
methods of cutting and polishing
stones, and stated that there" are 25,-
000 men engaged in the industry,
with 10,000 in Amsterdam, 11,000 in
Antwerp, and more than 300 at Idar.
He also mentioned that the gem
cutters are regularly divided into two,
classes although at Idar this order is
slightly changed. The classes are the
diamond cutters and the lapidaries,
the former being what might be called
the aristocrats of the profession.

"It ever liberal education 'wa:
needed in the we rid, it is needed her:
in the United Stanees today," in the
opinion of Dr. Aiexanler Meiklej-hn,
head of the new College at the Uni-
versity of Wisconsin, expressed in a
recent address at the Unive'rsity of
California.
"We have the most externaized I
civilization the world ever saw," hel
said. "Liberal education is the at-1
tempt to get insight into the life of the
spirit, and to see that all the machin-
ery of life is merely the servant of
spirit.
"As I view human life, I find con-
stantly running through it, at theI
foundation, a cleavage. Human lifel
always falls apart at the very heart
of it into two separate things. It is
the chief business of liberal. educa-'
tion to get at that cleavage, Life is I
never intelligible, unless it does fall
apart into the outer and inner-mat-

self in the remote and inacccssible
part of the country. The amazing
defense by a mere handful of United
States Marines and Nicaraguan com-
stabulary, aided by five bomnbing
planes from Managua, has served to
scatter the rebels and has dealt a
blow from which they are not seen
likely to recover.

"As this is my first experience with
a large Western State University, I
find Michigan a very interesting and
impressive place," said Allan H.
Gilbert, professor of English in Duke
University, Durham, N. Carolina.
Duke is a $45,000,000 endowed insti-
tution, and is steadily increasing in
size. It is introducing a new Medical
school, and plans are being made
whereby the medical course will be,

Bob Wetzel, as the stock hard-
pressed father on whom the squire is
about to foreclose or something to
that effect, performs creditably. It
is not a role which allows much ori-
ginality, if any. He can do well in
parts that do allow it.

Commander Richard E. Byrd, leader
of the expedition in the monoplane
America and his crew, Bert Acosta,
George Noville and Bert Balchan, and
Clarence Chamberlin, pilot of the
oClmubia, all slept late after the
boisterous reception given them yes-!
terday on their return from Europe.
Colonel Lindbergh, on the other,
hand, was up early, arriving at Mitch-
ell field at 8 o'clock and flying a ser-
vice plane to New Jersey. At the
Peterboro airport he climbed into his;
transatlantic Spirit of St. Louis,
which has been thoroughly overhauled
and flew down to Rhode Island. To-
morrow noon he will hop off for
Hartford, Conn., in the first leg of aj
national tour in his famous mono-j
plane in the interest of aviation. {
Balchen also went to New Jersey I
today. For a year he has been test
pilot at the Fokker factory at Has-

he is leaving for Holland August 1:

shortened, and the students will be
selected for entrance. Duke's first
graduate school was a school of Re-
ligion, very liberal in its teachings.
Although it is under the direction of
the Methodist Church South, the
Dean is a former member of the Uni-
versity of Wisconsin faculty and is not
affiliated with the Methodist church.j
Graduate work is now being given
there in the department of arts and
sciences.
"One is greatly impressed by the
general air of progress and activity
at Michigan," said Mr. Gilbert, "and
these make the institution of great
value and service." Mr. Gilbert says
that the quality of students is good,
although not so different from that of
students in other summer s*ssions
He mentions the Library as being
very well conducted.
Michigan's greatest fault, Mr. Gil-
bert believes, is that of every large
university, "the tendency to over-em-
phasize mechanism and to have too
little provision for the proper carry-
ing on of graduate work, particularly}
in the number of teachers employed."
Mr. Gilbert is teaching graduate
courses in the Summer session here.

SOUTHAMPTON, Eng., July 19.-
The great adventure will start to-

Capt. F. T. Courtney, a British avia-
tor, tonight announced that all was
n readiness for his transatlantic
flight to New York with a crew of two
in the flying boat "Whale."
Captain C:>urtney planned to make
a final test flight early tomo:-row
morning. He will then refuel and
start not later than 7 o'clock from
Southampton waters for Vale icia,
Ireland. At Valencia harbor the crgw
of the Whale will snatch Isome lunch,
refuel the plane and take the air
for Newfoundland about 3 o'clock in
the afternoon.
Miss Mildred Doran, Angie Pedlar, and William F. Malloska, all.of Flint, Michigan, who are flying to the
Pacific Coast, arrived in El Paso at 11:20 a. m. Monday. Their flight started at Fort Worth, where they spent
the week end.'
The trio continued westward at 8 a. m. Wednesday. They are to fly f rom San Francisco to Honolulu.
