TRANSPORTATION
CONDITIONS IN
RUSSIA BETTER

Reval, Esthonia, Dec. l5.-Since|
Trotzky, the bolshavlk war minis
ter, took over the Russian rail-
roads and put them undGt the per-
sonal direction of Sverdloff there
has been a marked Improvement
in transportation conditions, Svetd-
loft lived for several years n
America and had the advantage of
association with the Stevens rail-
way experts in Russia. He is not
a politician but an economist and
executive who has been identified
since the bolshevik regime with
the Russian co-operatives and the
Russian Red Cross.
However, the improvements
made in rolling stock have been
temporary rather than permanent.
BY fo@ced labor and the stripping
of disabled locomotives and cars
to repair others an excellent show
ing has been made. This enabled
the Russian forces to drive against
Poland but even the bolsheViki do
not claim the improvement was
effected by manufacturing repairs.
A statement of transportation
conditions published by the Rus
sian Economic Life shows that nc
cording to bolshevik figures, 6,61 Z
locomotives were operating on Rus
sian railroads in September, and
$685. were in repair shops The

1t encouraged hasty work and To-
comotiVes were frequently turned
out in such condition that they
broke down in a short times This
situation makes it clear why all the

New York, Dec. 15.-The Beth

to sell fabricated steel to builders
and contractors in the New York

buildings to be erected on a closed

This policy was disclosed by Eu-

that his stand would not be chang

URGES TEACHING OF
FIRE PREVENTION N
SCHOOLS OF KANSAS

Topeka, Kans., Dec. 15.-Fire
prevention should be taught, in
public schools as a regular part of
the course of study, in the opinion
of Frank A. McIvor, deputy state
fire marshal.
For many years the science of
heath has occupied a prominent
place in the curriculum of our
schools and colleges, and it is right
that it should" said Mr.. McIvor.
Next In Importance to the science
of health is the science of conserv-

IDLENESS INCREASING
IN SUNFL0WER STATE

Topeka, Eans,, Dec. 15.-Unem
ployment is rapidly increasing in
Kansas, judging from the latest
weekly report of the Kansas Free
employment bureau to John l..
Crawford, state commissioner of
labor and industry, During the
week 832 applied for work while
only 369 asked for help. This is the
largest number of applications for
work and the smallest number of
available jobs reported since the
employment bureau was estab-
lished. For the sixth consecutive
week the supply of labor exceeded
the demand.
The largest surplus is made up
of unskilled male workers, The
supply of skilled and clerical and
professional workers also, however,
was greater than the demand. The
surplus of female help was not as
large Seventy applied for work
as compared to fifty-six vacancies
reported.

When the witness denied knowl-
edge of the movement among fab

United States TO withhold steel
from union shipbuilders, Mr.. I'm
termyer asked:
do you think it is a proper
thing for manufacturers through

says, fire loss there amounted to

TAPESTRIES ARE
BEING SOLD To
PURCHASE BREAD
tBy The AsaOciated Press,

Vienna, Dee. 15.-When by pur-
chase, gift and inheritance the
House of Hapsburg acquired the
900 or more tapestries comprising
the most superb collection in the
world its members hardly foresaw
that some day they would be
pawned to buy bread for a sue
ceeding republic.
The reparations commission hav-
ing given its consent, the govern
II ent is now trying to raise enough
money on these tapestries to pur-
chase $4,000 tons of flour against
the imminent exhaustion of the
supply on hand. The bread ration
has been reduced to 20 per cent
wheat flour content, with so per
cent corn meal and 80 per cent
rye. The best that can be said of
the resulting bread Is that q very
hungry person can eat a little of It,.
1t is understood that a move
ment is on foot for the organiza-
ton of an international syndicate
to advance the required amount of
cash. The plan contemplates that
the tapestries pledged will be care
fully selected from the various
schools represented in the collec-
ton and these in part or in whole
will be nut on exhibition in the
great cities of Europe and Amer
lea.
