NEW; YORK. April 4. (Special.)
Americans a race or people lond of
clothing themselves In the skins of
wild animals and decorating their
persons with bright colored stones
and ornaments of gold and silver.
Thus may some lexicographer of
the future describe the inhabitants
of these United States of America.
Announcement that in March impor
tations at the port of New York -established
a new high record called
attention anew to the large part lux
uries play in the manifest lists of
incoming cargo vessels.
The high cost of living evidently Is
without power to stay the appetite
for non-essentials which, developed in
this country during the war. is still
waxing. While the compilation of the
figures for March has not yet been
made, February tabulation lust made
public threw interesting illumination
on this- kind of trade.
They show that in this .shortest
month of the year, with only 25 work
ing days, diamond importations alone
totaled 9. 044. 350. Other precious
atones to the amount of J809.350 were
brought in. Furs ran a close second
to precious stones, while Bilks far
outstripped them. !Laces, feathers,
velvets, plush, figure largely in the
February lists, while art overleaped
the $2,000,000 mark by a good margin.
Here are some of the items on the
February list, with their value, which
throw light on the appetite, of the
American public for luxuries:

silk, $107,119; art silk yarns. $837,

280. Drradrnt Rome Surpassed.
It is a tabulation which stimulates
the imagination. Every quarter of
the globe is levied on to gratify the
erowinfr appetite of the United
States for non-essentials. Proud
houses in Europe,, impoverished by
the war, are co-operating in uncon
scious association with naked South
sea savages to supply the demand.
The figures suggest that an orgy of
spending unejualed even in decadent
Rome is at its flood. .-
The above list does not pretend to
be exhaustive as to luxuries Imported
through New York in the shortest
month. Many other items might
readily be cited. In perfumeries
France heads the list with $289,117
worth. Other contributors under this
heading were: Netherlands, $11,489;
French West Indies, $11,052: Switzer
land. $45,052; Germany, $6015; China,
$10,230, and . Asiatic Turkey, $392.
The importation of diamonds, which,
because, of their present high prices
some six or seven times their pre
war values deserve special notice,
were almost equally various as to
source. England sent the bulk of
the uncut stunes. 25.636 karats, val
ued at $2,417,595 worth, and The
Netherlands, naturally since Amster
dam is the great center of diamond
cutting, most of the finished gems,
2.573 karats, valued at $4,800,002.
Diamonds in the rough also came
from Belgium, $101,296; Netherlands,
$3588: Brazil, $54,160; British Guinea,
$28,070, and British South . Africa,
$139,385. Cut stones were received
from Belgium. $622,405: Denmark,
$30,060; France. $226,75: Switzer
land. $55,734: England, $419,366; Brit
ish South Africa, $13,681. and Poland.
$48,89$.
England led In satisfying the
American desire for pearls with
$324,918 worth, and France came next
with exports totaling $299,226. Brit
ish India and Japan were among the
also rans.
Germany Sella Imitations.

President Grant Reaffirms Stand
Against Labor Unions and
Use of Boycott.
SALT LAKE CITT. Utai, April 4.
The 19th annual three-day general
conference of the Church of .l.n
Christ ofLatter Day Saints (Mormon) j
opened here today with thousands of
ptsrsuus present zrom an parts o tne
world.
Heber J. Grant, president of the
church, reaffirmed his stand against
union labor organizations in the use
of the boycott against firms and in
dividuals who do not adhere to their
teachings. The stand was first taken
by President Grant at the general
conference last October. He asserted
that he did not wish to declare the
principle of unionism w'rong, but that
it was his belief a man should be free
to labor whether a union member or
not and that there should be no dis
crimination against workers who do
not ally themselves with a trades
union.
Other routine today had to do with
church matters, such as funds for new
buildings and a discussion of Mormon
teachings.
Sessions are being held at the fa
mous tabernacle, which has a seating
capacity of approximately 10,000 and
officials declare twice that number
are in attendance and many overflow
meetings were held. Never before In
church history have so many persons
attended a general conference, offi
cials assert.
A deposit of coal estimated to con
tain about 40.000.000 tons of good
quality fuel has been discovered at
Jm. Union in Chile.
