CHRISTMAS TREES GREATER
THAN LOSS BY CUTTING
WASHINGTON, Nov. 14. (/P)_The

acres annually for consumption, which

SAYS BITUMINOUS COAL
MEANS ASPHYXIATION
WASHINGTON, D. C , Nov. 14. (£>)—
Lewis, president of the United Mine
Workers, in an article in the American
Feredationist, the official organ of the

ENTOMBED MINE
WORKERS DIG
WAY TO OPEN
TRENTON,, Missouri, Nov. 14 (JP)
—Seven miners "were entombed eleven
hours yesterday two hundred feet
down, due to a cave-in in the shaft
of a coal mine here. The men dug
their way r 'njured, having food
with them and air being ample. Res
cue workers digging feverishly heard
the click of their shovels beyond the
barrier, and soon the tunnels met.
IF A GOOD GUESSER YOU CAN
TELL MOVIE STARAS IN ROME
ROME, Nov. 14. (ff)—While Amer
ican film stars are even more popu
lar this season, the unitiated Ameri
can tourist must be an adept gues-ser
to recognize many of their names on
the posters.
This is largely due to the fact that
in the Italian^ language “I,” “Y” and
“C” have the same sound and are
reads the names of such
used interchangeably. Thus one reads
the names of such American stars
as Fattj, Maj Murrai, Bettj Blithe,
Glorya Svanson, Marj Pikford, Mary
Fhilbin and Maj Mkavoj. Douglas
Fairbanks seldom gets his last name
used, at least when fans talk of
him, due to the fact that Italian cus
tom calls for placing last names first.
He is known simply as “Dooglas.”

EMBARGO PLACED
CANADIAN WHEAT
VANCOUVER, Nov. 14. UP)—Har
bor and railway officials conferred
yesterday and embargoed shipments of
wheat hither from the prairie provin
ces, because of the accumulation of
damp wheat, which becomes tough
while in this state. While this is
drying in the elevators hundreds of
cars of this wheat are accumulating
on the sidings. The trouble is at
tributed solely to bad threshing weath
er.
The hope is expressed that favor
able weather will cause the lifting of
thei embargo this week. Only fifteen
per cent of the prairie grain comes
here, practically all the rest going to
the Great Lakes district.

EGGS USED AS
CURRENCY IN
ARMENIAN HILLS
ERIVAN, Armenia, Nov. 14. (JP)—
In fr£e of the difficulty in obtaining
Soviet money, eggs form the curren
cy of Karakala, deep in the Armenian
mountains. A dozen eggs are equiv
alent to a ruble, fifty cents in Ameri
can money. Eggs proving bad are
returned as illegal tender
Dorothy Stratton, of New York city,
in charge of the near east relief at
Karakala, reported live chickens were
equal to a ruble and a half.
HIGH COST OF LIVING
HAS STRUCK MODERN ART
PARIS, Nov. 14. (JP)—The high cost
of living seems to have hit modern art
a hard blow. The searchers of some
new school of painting have had to
so economize in canvas and paint the
Autumn salon is reduced to about half
its usual proportions
What there is of it is sufficiently
striking, however. The full length
portrait of a woman in the role of
Oedipues with indigo blue blood run
ning out of her eyes, is the chief mon
strosity. It is accompanied by the
usual debauche of flesh—athletic and
obese.
There are some ambitious exhibits
that are highly estimated by their au
thors. Two of the pieces are ticketed
75,000 francs each and it is declared
that they have been sold at that fig-j
ure.
Several critics say that the show
gives evidences that modernism in art j
is going stale and that perhaps since
canvas and paint come so high extrav
agancies will become less predominant
by Christmas.

SAYS COLLEGE ENTRANCE TESTS ,
ARE" TOO WOODEN & FORMAL” ]

! CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va., Nov. 14. t
| (JP)—The present head of the Uni- <
jversity founded by Thomas Jefferson,
j says that entrance requirements in
j American colleges are ‘‘too wooden i
| and too formal.” t
Dr. Edwin A. Alderman, president
of the University of Virginia, who is
not at all satisfied with the present g
soheme of entrance requirements, r
thinks that in a quarter of a century t
an utter change will come over the t
system. He believes this change will I
be based upon intelligence tests and
psychological study of. each entering
candidate. a

The ZR-3, was constructed in the
j Anderson shipyards, on Lake Wash,
i ington, Seattle, during the war. The
I vessel is 250 feet long and powered
with two 500 Standard engines. The
herring plant is modern in every re
spect and -with the exception of quar
ters for the crew and plant employes,
and the engines located in the stern,
all space on the ship is made over
for carrying on the herring indus
try.
Captain H. P. Knuteson is the skip
per of the vessel. Including the
crew there are about* forty people
on board. Six of these are women,
expert herring gibbers, all of the crew
| employed being white persons. It is

with Alaskan fishermen. The two purse
siene boats and one tender will be
