WORLD KNOWLEDGE COMES
WITH INTERNATIONAL TRADE
Russian Professor
Invents New Type
OF Rail Locomotive
BY GEORGE WHITE

Especial Cable to The Atlanta Journal and
Chicago Daily News-Copyright, 1929
BERLIN, Dec. 25.-The problem
of. smoke from railroad traffic which
has been troubling large cities all
over the world may have been solved
by the invention of new locomo-
tive by Prof. Lomonosov, of the
Russian railroad commission, here,
and Prof Meinecle, of the Chariot
tenburg Technical High school, The
new engine will have no smokestack
and will look more like an ordinary
baggage car than locomotive.
Prof. Lomonosov says his inven-
ton will make It possible to build
railroads in the Sahara desert and
other vast stretches where there is
no water.
1T took me sixteen years to COM
plete this invention,' Prof, Lomono-
SOW said today.
Henry Ford in the United States
and others in England are trying to
build new motor for use in coun-
tries short of coal or water, but, so
far as l know, they have not sue
Ceeded.
prof. Meinecke and I have finally
solved this problem and already two
Diesel engines are being built ac-
cording to our design.
"They will be finished and tried
out early next year and the first
new locomotive will be used on the
German and Russian railroads about
next AUGUST"

SEATTLE, Wash, Dec. 25.-Mem-
cries of the golden days of the clip
per ship era, stirring the hearts of
Boston shipping men, have brought
about a stay of execution for the
famous old square rigger, GLORY of
the Seas" once queen of the Ameri-
can merchant marine and holder of
scores of sailing records in every
ocean.
Condemned to the funeral pyre, the
"Glory" was being towed down Puget
sound to be beached yesterday, when
a telegram was received from Bos-

men plan to tow the old ship to Bos-
ton to rig her as she was in her
hey-day and moor her in Boston har-
Dor as a monument to the American
sailing ships.
The GLORY" built in East Boston
in 1869, was the last masterpiece of

WASHINGTON, Dec. 25,-Mem-
bers of the house banking commit
tee conducting hearings on the
. Goldsborough bill to stabilize the dol
lar were told last week by Frank A.
Wolfe, a bureau of standards tech
nician, that they had, been 'fiim-
TANNED" out of $4,000 each since
1914 by fluctuations in\the purchas-
ing price of their salaries.
Mr.. Wolfe told a story of a servant
girl, who deposited 500 in a savings
bank at per cent interest in 1895
and came out $50 loser in 1920 be-
cause of the great decrease in the
value Of her money.
He favored the bill, which would
make the gold dollar variable in

the same purchasing power, and de-

present time is the control by pri-

GAINESVILLE, Fla, Dec. %
Florida's principal field crops and
fruits during 1922 had a farm value
of $60G5 900 as compared with $46,-
019, 900 last year, an increase of
more than $14,5O0.0O0, according to
the December crop review issued

acreage planted and no marked in
crease in production, except for cit

pineapples, avOcadoes and othec
fruits.
The heaviest increase over last
year, both in production ard value
to the growers was in the citrus
crops which from present indications
will be fully 100000 boxes as
against 13,3U0,000 boxes last season.
The estimated value of this year s
crop is placed at approximately 1872
10000 compared with only $22,o75.-
900 last season.
From the production standpoint.
the grain crops, corn, oats, peanuts,
rice and sugar cane and tobacco arc
short of last year while cotton, Irish
potatoes and the hay crops show
heavy increases both in acreage and
production. Sweet potatoes, COW
peas for grain, sorghum for SYRUP
and few minor crops varied little
from last year in production on
about the same acreage.
The corn crop is placed at 10000.

Sterilization of the bitumlnous

at least one-third of the national

Liberalization of the laws with re-

Italian Statesmen Say
Washington Pacts Are
Sure to Be Ratified

Especial Cable to The Atlanta Journal and
Chicago Daily News-Copyright, 1927
ROME, Dec. 25.-That Italy in
tends to'report and ratify the Wash
ington agreements, including the
Chinese five per cent customs du
ties provision, is the assertion of
statesmen here. 1t is true that the
Italians and Chinese are now wang
ling over the ownership Of certain
formed Austrian ships of the Aus
trian Lloyd Line. These ships took
refuge in Chinese ports at the time
of the war and were seized by The
Chinese.
The Italians declare that it was
decided in Paris that all the former
enemy ships should be pooled and
distributed according to the losses of
the various allies. They say the
Chinese lost no ships and therefore
should not keep any of the Aus.
trian crafts. The Chinese do nos
look at the matter in that light and
continue to hold the ships.
