SOVIET BUILDS 300-ACRE FARM TOOL FACTORY Site of Huge Implement Plant Was Wasteland Three Years Ago. This is sne * s*rt*s of article* hr Fottiie Lyons on • tour through Russia. BY EUGENE LYONS United Press Staff Correspondent ROSTOV-ON-THE-DON, U. 8. S. R., Dec. 25.—The main street of Rostov, viewed from the balcony of the Grand hotel, might have been a street in some well-kept German city rather than in the capital of the Don district. The city, once among the finest looking in the Russian empire, is sadly out of repair. The country is too busy constructing new Industries to think of appearances. Rostov’s shop windows are dusty and neglected, except the book store windows. which are full and bright. A single day. spent partly under official guidance and partly in random exploring, showed many sides of the Soviet scene. In the morning I walked many weary miles over the grounds of the newly built “Selmashstroi”— probably the world’s largest plant producing farm implements. X.OOO Workers Busy Three years ago the site was wasteland. Now' 300 acres of ground are covered with factories, with some 8,000 workers busy at forges, carpenter benches and imported machines of a hundred kinds. The plant is functioning, but it is not finished yet. When completed. it is attuned to a production which calls for a daily consumption of 900 tons of iron and 100 carloads of wood I was told that American firms had refused to hire out their engineers to help build Selmashstroi, but that Russia built it without foreign aid. For this feat the entire personnel was awarded the Order of the Red Banner. Later I wandered through the streets and saw 7 the depressing evidences of the goods shortage. The run-down condition of Rostov is the reverse side of the order. Entered Cathedral The co6t seems by no means exorbitant to the presidium of the central executive committee of the northern Caucasus, which received me that afternoon. They seemed like a military general staff engaged in pushing through a. difficult offensive. As I left that interview the church bells w r ere ringing. I entered the beautiful cathedral. The scene was startling after a day of statistics. Here w r as old Russia intact within the w'alls of a church. It happened to be a holiday, the Elevation of the Cross—celebrated by one of the most impressive of the orthodox services. The gold and purple vestments, the fullvoiced choir, thousands of burning tapers, the long-haired priests, some 3.000 men, women and children crowding the cathedral to its doors—no suggestion here of Selmashtroi and the five-year plan. Monk's Gowns Ragged In the vestibule of the cathedral stood a line of old monks, patriarchal figures all of them, their black gowns ragged and their faces touched with pain. They held wicker baskets, into which the worshipers placed eggs, bread and other contributions. Inquiry disclosed that these monks just had been dispossessed from their monastery and had been taken into the cathedral, where they lived on charity. This line of old men somehow recalled that other row of men who an hour or so earlier had faced me across the red-draped table of the presidium. The contrast between the two is the contrast between the two Russias.

INVENTOR CERTAINLY NEMESIS OF THIEVES Newest Device Does Everything: but Fingerprint Culprit. By United Press LONDON, Dec. 25.—Walter Hymans is a merry little man, an inventor, and dislikes a thief. So he decided to do something about it. He invented a device which cries “wow” when a culprit tries to stead a motor car, and he insists the scheme is foolproof. Then he turned his attention to the “smash and grab” thief who breaks a store window, grabs loot and flees. His latest Invention flashes a “police” notice into the street, creates a din and does everything but fingerprint the bandit. VEIL ABOLITION ASKED Moslem Women Adopt Resolutions to Free Them of Handicaps. F.y Times Seccia l DAMASCUS.

Indians Give Hollywood Stars Idea for Divorce

Brave Must Find Saddle Hidden by Squaw or Leave Tepee. By Vnited Prcsg HOLLYWOOD. Dec. 25.—A novel divorce idea, old to the Indians, but new to Hollywood, has been brought back to the film colony by Helen Twelvetrees, who was on location in Arizona during filming of “The Painted Desert.” On the subject of divorce.

STORES GO ON NEW CALENDAR Kroger System in Effect on Jan. 5. The thirteen-month calendar, adopted by the Kroger Grocery and Baking Company, will be placed in operation throughout the company’s system of 5.000 stores on Monday, Jan. 5. In a statement issued at headquarters of the company in Cincinnati it was explained that the decision to adopt' the thirteen-period calendar was due largely to the impossibility of obtaining true comparisons of costs and sales or maintaining accurate budget control under the existing calendar. The statement said: “Under the old system it was necessary to allocate weekly wages against monthly sales and costs. Under the thirteen-period plan split payrolls will be eliminated and all other items will be kept in line with pay roll, which is most essential in making accurate comparisons. "The new system will aid in establishing a more accurate cost system, every closing will be on the same day, the end of the week, the period and the year will coincide, making each period constant and uniform. “In short, the end of the week will present a complete and accurate picture of every department of the business.”

Jack Frost Joins Fishing Boat’s Crew

Close all the windows. Throw some more wood on the fire. Put on your heaviest overcoat .. . And then look at this picture . . . Somewhere beneath this coating of ice and snow is the fishing smack Wanderer, shown here as she returned to her pier in Boston the other day after a trip to the fishing banks. Looks A like a “cold deck," doesn’t it, with Jack Frost holding all the cards.

On request, sent with stamped addressed envelope, Mr. Ripley will furnish proof of anything depicted by him.

must be said that Hollywood claims it really doesn’t have many divorces at all, but that most of its marital troubles gain so much publicity that the number seems larger than it is. Miss Twelvetrees was ir. the country bordering the Navajo Indian reservation. Visiting the reservation with a guide, she saw a Navajo brave arguing with his squaw, who, presumably, had just given her mate the popular bum’s rush from their clay domicile. After an exchange of w r hat had all the earmarks of unprintable remarks, the brave dejectedly turned from his spouse and began a systematic search of the surrounding country on foot. “Now what causes that?” Miss Twelvetrees asked the guide. “Why the squaw 7 just told her old man she is suing him for divorce,” explained the guide. “Yes, go on,” the actress prompted. “Well, according' to custom, when a squaw ’decides she is tired of living with her Navajo husband, she takes his saddle and hides it. If the brave fails to find it within one day, they are automatically divorced.” “Gosh, that’s a lot easier than going to Reno, isn’t it?” declared Helen.

The “astronomers’ universe,” extending to the most distant regions ever expfored with the aid of the mest powerful telescopes, is 1.445x10.79 cubic centimeters. The ratio of the electron to the universe is 4.3x10.117, four duodequadrigintillions, three trigintaseptillions, of electrons—a figure ’expressed by 43 followed by 116 ciphers. Kit Carson—Christopher (“Kit”) Carson, who occupies the position of the typical frontier hero and Indian fighter of the latter period of American pioneer history and who c hairbreadth escapes and personal prowess are the subject of innumerable stories, actually won a hand to claw battle with a mountain lion after losing his rifle.

ADVERTISING TO BOOST TRADE, SAYS BABSON Tone and Pulse of 1931 Business to Be Paced by ‘Space,’ He Thinks. Bv ScrinPi-Hotcard Net ctpaver AUianoe WASHINGTON, Dec. 25.—The tone and pulse of American business for 1931 will be determined largely by advertising, says Roger Babson, economic forecaster. Despite the widespread depression of 1930, the current year, several lines of business have broken all records for volume, and in many localities sales have been maintained at normal levels by a little extra advertising pressure. These and. many other remarkable experiences of 1930 are recounted in the current issue of Editor and Publisher, devoted to “the power of newspaper advertising.” Get Up Steam Now “Now is the time to get up steam for the long run ahead," Babson says in the leading article. “There is at present just one motive power —advertising, more advertising and better advertising.” Studies of retail sales in various cities disclosed that “the volume of business follows closely the relative volume of retail newspaper advertising.” This fact was developed from a correlation of department store salps in 251 cities, as reported by the federal reserve board, and total retail advertising lineage for all newspapers. In the face of the most serious business recession in more than twenty years, a Detroit oil burner manufacturer increased his newspaper space 37 per cent in 1930. Increased Space Urged Sales for the first eleven months were 53 per cent above the corresponding period of 1929, with each month showing an increase over the same month of the previous year. “In the belief that business could be secured if it were sought aggressively,” said Sales Manager E. V. Walsh, “we increased our newspaper space 37 per cent for the first half of 1930.” For the first quarter, sales were increased by 300 per cent—showing a remarkable stimulus to business during the normally slack months for the industry.

SPATS’ GRAVE DUG London Predicts Demise of This Apparel. \ By United Press LONDON, Dec. 25.—They are digging a grave in Fashion’s cemetery here for spats. The imminent demise of this bit of wearing apparel was revealed when inquiries were made as to the possibility of Londoners adopting the fur-trimmed spats, so popular now in Berlin and other German cities. # “Spats are declining in popularity,” said the editor of the Tailor and Cutter, a fashion magazine. “The prince of Wales never wears them; if he did, they would return to popularity.” Shoes with cloth uppers, such as King George wears, are now the vogue.

POLITICAL ‘ACE’ OF FAR WEST TO AID HOOVER Raymond Benjamin Will Be ■Unofficial Member’ of U. S. Cabinet, Bu Scrippg.Hoicnrd Xrictpancr All WASHINGTON. Dec 25 —A tall, soft-spoken Nordic with bushy eyebrows and the urbane manners of a diplomat has landed in Washington from the far west and set thousands of capital tongues awagging. He is Raymond Benjamin, 58, of San Francisco, by trade a fiddler, by profession a lawyer, by vocation one of the cleverest politicians in tha country. Benjamin has brought his family, his chattels and his law books and has gone through the motions of hanging out his law shingle. Those who know, however, aver that his post will be that of a sort of unofficial twelfth cabinet member, a liaison officer between tha White House and the G. O. P. chief f tains on Capitol hill and elsewhere.. Has Made No Enemies Benjamin has had a room and desk fitted for him at national Republican headquarters in the Barr building. Rumors that he will succeed Simeon Fess. national chairman, are denied. But that he will be an important political potentate in the next two years every one admits. Benjamin's reputation for having made no enemies in his long career are looked upon as needed to calm the troubled seas against the coming of 1932.
