anctal nmources to draw upon, their production Is almost ertaln to dwarf the output of the private pea salits. Nevertheless a few basic facts stand out. From the view point of the actual crops produced, the socialized farina showed themselves more successful than the privately operated ones. The significant attainment however, from the Kremlin's point of jvlew is that practically every col ilective drew a larger harvest per acre than private cultivation in the same region. For the first time since the revolution, more than half the marketable grain will be proi vided by State and collective farms. 'The first purpose of the governj inent, which was to free (tself from the domination of private and therefore hostile peasants for the nation al bread supply, has thus been a< hiieved. The suppression of the greater part of the richer or Kulak class of farmers is another tremendous gain from the Kremlin's viewpoint. It Is impossible to estimate how many so-called Kulaks have been “liquidated." Probably one million wool I | be a fair guess, with several hundred thousands exiled anil the others deprived of their worldly goods and force to start all'over again on the worst soil in their own regions Those remaining are frightene and comparatively meek. HEART CURRENT TO RING BELL Cambridge, Eng., Oht. 8- (LIP) — Electric current produced by the heating of man's heart, is to be amplified so that it will ring a bell through a radio relay here. The experiment is to be conductj ed by Bryan 11. C. Matthews, who |is Beit Memorial Fellow for Medical Research in the University of Cambridge, as part of his six talks lover the radio on electricity in the human body. The first of the series begins on Nov. 14. “It ought not to be supposed that I am responsible for some remark- | able discovery.” Matthews said. “All I that I intend to do is demonstrate the action of the tiny el p, ‘tric body currents. The heart currents were discovered in 1870 and the muscle (currents also have been known for la long time.” “The heart produces quite a big current in comparison with others in the body, for it is about one thousandth of a volt and lasts for a I few hundredths of a second, it is to small to make enough noise in front of the microphone and therefore we must amplify it.” | ° American School Grows Peiping, Oct.

CAT PARADISE MAINTAINED BY CHICAGO MAN Building .Janitor Devotes Life to Raising Pests and Rat Killers Chicago, Oct. B—(UP8 —(UP) —A paradise of hamburger, cream and mice for homeless cats and an employment agency for good ratters temporarily out of work has been main'ained for eight years in the middle of Chicago’s roaring traffic, surrounded by skyscrapers high enough to make even a cat giddy. In the window of a vacant store it Wack r Drive and Washington street eight fat sleek cats are seen daily sitting in a contented row. j They are the well-provided-for- . wards of Jim (Happy) Fuller, the! i nitor of the building who be-1 ! vos nothing is too good for his' pets. Board for the cats daily requires i 75 cents of Fuller’s salary and it goes to buy milk for the kittens ■intj hamburger for the cats with plenty of salmon on Sundays. ‘•When I die,’ 'said Happy, “I 'tope they bury me over the North- * stern tracks. That’s where I’ve buried the little cats that died these last eight years.” Happy believes he has raised a hundred cats during the years he has maintained his asylum for felin wayfarers. For some of hem. chiefly the best ratters, he lias frottnd other homes where heir talents may be of use. “I’ve _given the new opera buildng two fine ratters and I must have given the telephone company i dozen for their building. I stay up all night the night the kittens •ome, but 1 can’t help much ” Happy makes his home in the building with the cats. He has :rained them not to molest the |; lungs ji his room. "You can teach cats just like children," he contends. “All these cats know their name and they all ramble about the look at night. "Dick," called Happy. Dick, a 20-pound, tight-year-old, jumped to his shoulder. “Teddies, Cockie, Nellie, Tommie. Midget. ..." Obediently all the cats respondi ( | except Midget who was engrossled wth an elaborate trapeze of I rubber tings and balls. “I don’t know what ails that kitten.” Happy complained. “She won’t mind worth a cent." “I got to liking cats during the Spanish American war,’ said Happy. |• 1 was with the 3rd regiment, company 8, from Somerville, N. J. i There was a cat with our outfit and j:t was my' job to feed her. She I used to go into battle as brave as I any soldier. People can learn a 'ot from cats.” Happy is inclined to believe in reincarnation, contending that many cats have bigger and more gen - rous souls than people. “Maybe in the next world we’ll all be cats," he said. Nuts Kill Wildcats Columbus, 0., —(UP) —A “hands off” policy for visitors has been declared by innkeepers of Municipal Zoo here following the death of two windcats from eating green buckeyers. The nuts were fed to the ani reals by visitors, it was said.

SUPREME COURT DOCKET HOLDS UNUSUAL CASES Many Legal Questions Involved In New Deliberations Washington, (Oct- S—(UP5 —(UP) —Almost 5(10 cases coveting a wide variety of legal questions greeted th? Supreme Court when it resumed its deliberations. These have all accumulated during the summer recess. At the close of last session not a single argued case remained undisposed of on the 1 calendar. Last year the court disposed of i more than 1,000 cases. This year i it will be called on to dispose of i at least ‘hat many in spite of its growing inclination to take jurisdie- ■ ion in as few cases as possible. ,' The past year has seen two J changes in the personal of the . I bench. Chief Justice Charles Evans ‘ Hughes occupies the chair which , I .vas Justice William Howard Taft’s One entirely new face made its ap pearance when Justice Owen J. ’ Roberts took his seat as the court’s youngest member. He will probably receive less a*.ention, however, than Justice Oli-,-er Wendell Holmes who, in Dec. ‘ 8, will begin his 29th year on the 1 bench and on March 8 will celebrate his fifltli birthday anniversary. Dry laws will receive their full ' iuota of consideration. The validity ' if the 18th Amendment and the Voltead Act are questioned by A. ■ Stanley Copeland. Buffalo minister • and persistent antagonist of the law. The so-called Jones five- and ten law is changed in the appeal ot a St. Joseph, Mo., resident who re■eived a sentence ot four years for the sale of a pint of liquor to prohibition agents. Whether or not either of hese actions will reach the stage if actual argument before the court is still a matter of conjecture. The largest part of the court’s work seems likely to be taken up vith tax cases covering a wide variety of questions. More than 109 >1 them have so far found their way into the docket. In may instances they refer to tax laws which have since become obsolete, such as the gift and excess profits taxes. The tax laws of a score of other states are questioned including New Mexico’s imposition on gasoline. Rate cases of major importance are those involving Chicago Telediene rates and Kansas City street railway fares. A wide variety of ate cases between the Interstate Commerce Commission and the vations roads will be included. One of the major points likely to lie considered is the ruling of the New York federal courts that a seven per cent rate of return is sufficient for the telephone company there, one of the few denials of the right of a public utility to an eight per cent return. The powers of the Federal Radio Commission and the constitutionality of the Federal Radio Act. whicl) created it, will come up for review. So far two have been filed in which applicants for renewals of license have been ordered into new channels or required to divide their time with other stations. In each instance they assert that in building up a clientele in their old wavelengths they have developed a property right which may not be taken away from them without violating the Constitution. Labor will be interested in the court’s ruling on the Arkansas “Full

Train Crew" law which Is being attacked by the Missouri Pacific Railroad. Liberals will probably center their attention on the court’s action in the cases of Douglas Clyde Macintosh and Miss Marie Averill Bland who question the right to oar them from citizenship because In applying for final papers they refused to swear they would bear arms in the country’s defense. The New York Circuit Court ruled they were entitled to admission us ,-itizens but the office of the at tor-iey-general Is appealing. DARROW FINDS CANADA LIQUOR LAW ‘SUPERIOR' Famous Chicago Liberal Does Find Flaws In System, However New York, Oct. 8 (UP) —Clarence Darrow, famous Chicago liberal. returning from a study of th Canadian system of governmental sale of alcoholic beverages, finds fault with the Canadian plan as still too Intolerant to suit the needs of enlightened human beings. “I do not believe that the Ontario liquor control law is the

Inwt word on the Hitbject of the use of liquor for beverage purpoHeH,” he tleclurea in Collier'*. "Os courße," he* explains, "the Canadian law Is nt* much superior to our own prohibition law as an oasis Is to a sterile desert. But there Is much about the law that does not appeal to me. I do not like the Idea, after buying a quart, of being told to hurry right home and not stop on the way. I don't like the feeling that I may not order wine and drink it at my table in the hotel. When I get a bottle and take it straight home, I have almost the sensation of having gone to the drug store with a prescription tor ipecac or castor oil. "To me tlte fruit of the wine never meant any such tiling. In my mind it has be* n associated with art and song, with poetry and music, witli toleration and kindlimss, with generosity and fgllowship. 1 am quite sure that no fine book or great work of art. no sublime music or poetry or drama, was ever the work of a prohibitionist. Genius and imagination and friendship and all the graces of social life have been and always will be associated with the grape. “From the time when men and women first gathered around the talile in social intercourse, they have eaten and drunk. True it is that so long as men eat, many of them will eat too much, and as long as they drink some of them will drink too much. But tills

only means thatflnen and women never have had, and probably never | will have, perfect control of themselves. No plan or scheme or contrivance has ever been devised to prevent all accident or misfortune. The plan that would avoid these would prevent life. For after all. the prime adventure of all the sons and daughters of men Is the ven- 1 ture of living." Darrow finally characterizes th’ Canadians lie satisfied himself that at least 80 per cent of all Canadian voters are convinced that the preset method of handling the sale of intoxicating liquors is much better thun prohibition, increases in consumption of intoxicants, he finds, are due mainly to economic causes, such as Increased population and wealth, tourist business from the United States, and the abolition of bootlegging. There is no drunkenness in Ontario, he says, adding that tbitv province "has less signs of drinking than ; a; y other section of the world." o Youth Accidentally Hung Lisbon—(UP) While Manuel Ferreira Barreiros, 14. son of a merchant of Pombalinho, was picking figs with his seven-year-old cousin, he decided to demonstrate “how a hanging is carried out.” Climbing the tree, he put his belt around his neck and tied the other end to a limb. Suddenly he slipped from the I limb. He was strangled to death. o Get the Habit —Trade at Home.

RUSSIAN RAIL WRECKS GROW Moscow. Oct. B—(UP)—Th< dis - astrous growth of railroad accl-.. dents In the Soviet Union In months is indicated by tneomplet-*-yet sufficiently alarming figures just made public In the railway workers' organ, Gudok. In the third quarter of the business year, April through July, 157. persons were killed and 435 seriously wounded in railroad 'vreeks. At least Sl2 engines and over 5,0(1.) cars were wrecked. The corresponding figures for the first quarter of the year I October-December, 1929) were 57 killed 516 wounded. 408 engines and 5,158 cars damaged. The total financial losses through, railroad aiddents for the first nine months of the year are estimated at 8,000,000 rubles. The authorities place the blame upon the lack of labor discipline . and in some instances upon actual sabotage. The unusual load Os f eight and passengers to which the Soviet railroad system has been subjected with the headlong expan-, sion of industry explains much of the trouble. The rains slowed up getting the beets from the fields hut the trucks were still busy today, bringing tn those that had been hauled to the roads.
