NORMALLY BY 1925 IS AIM
OF RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT
Soviet Hopes to Attract Foreign
Capital for Development of
Many industries.

The soviet government has set 1925
as the year when the production OF
Russian Industries should be brought
up to an output approaching the pre-
war normal.
Transport and agriculture and all
auxiliary industries connected with
them are to be re-established first.
Special attention and liberal expendi-
ture are recommended for Oil and coal
production.
Oil, which in 1922 yielded 263, 100000
pools Ga pood is SO pounds) is expect
ed to yield 497, 100000 in 1925, and
coal, which In 1922 yielded 67O,O00,OOO
pools is expected to give 1.67O,OOO,OOO
pools In 1925, as against 5~70,0O0,OOO
pools of oil In pre-war times, and q
O97 900, 1000 pools Of coal In 1916, the
year of maximum production.
The metal industry, which in 1922
yielded 100000 pools, is expected to
yield 10000 600 in 1925, as against
s 100000 pools in 1913. In the tex
tile industry, where 1,368,5OO spindles
and $4,000 looms are working in 1922,
producing 5OO,OO0,OOO yards of cloth,
100000 spindles and 5000 looms are
expected to yield 1,4OO, 900, 600, yards Of
cloth In 1925.
This plan, however. cannot be ac-
c0mplished without money, says a re-
port to the ecent communist party
conferences. Money Is needed from
the start, both as fundamental and
working capital. And the sum to bring
the various Industries through till
1925 Is fixed at 3,5OO,OOO,OO0 gold
As no such money can be found in
the country, the report urges the neces-
sity Of attracting money from abroad,
otherwise the existence of the most
important industries-metal, machine
and mining-are greatly threatened.

GOODNESS SAVES MANS LIFE
$4,000 Volts, Keeps His Head
and Breaks Circuit.

New York.-George B. Wagner, an
electrician of Dorchester, Mass, caught
hold Of a feed wire carrying $4,000
volts while working on defective wir-
ing in the power house of the New
York Central railroad at Locust ave
nue. and One Hundred and Forty-thlrd
street.
The wire was loose and came to
Wagner's chest, but instead of trying
to pull himself away he dropped slowly
to his knees, pulling the wire down
with him until he was able to touch
the concrete floor with his elbows.
This broke the circuit and Wagner
was thrown loose from the wire.
He was sent to Lincoln hospital,
where he was treated for burns about
the hands, face and neck. He was
able to work again q few days later.

8 BOB HAMPTON OF PLACER"
is NEILAN'S BEST YET

What may we'll be described as a
classic of the silent drama is Marshall
Neilan's spectacular, ~colorful and
thrilling production, bob Hampton
of Placer" which begins at the Liber-
ty Theatre, tonight.
Not since THE Birth of a Nation y
has any subject with a portion Of
American history as a background
zbeen SO s%plendidly made into a mo-
ton picture, and in many ways the
Neilan masterpiece outrivals the Crit
fifth production.
interviewer skilfully in this thrill
ing background is an absorbing and
beautiful story of faithful comrade-
ship and love, as well as of adven-
ture.
James Kirkwood, in the title role,
gives a masterful portrayal of Bob
Hampton, the gambler, who, dismissed
from the service in an army scandal,
is restored to a place Of honor with
Custer in the Battle Of the Little
Big Horn.
Marjorie Daw has the leading fem
fnine role, and Pat O,Malley, as
Lieut.. Brant, is seen as a gallant
officer of Clusters staff and as an ar
dent lover. Wesley Barry, with his
freckles and his grin, is one Of the
brightest lights in the production.
Others in the cast are Noah Berry,
Frank Leigh, Dwight Crittenden, Tom
Gallery, Priscilla Bonner, Charles
West, Bert Sprotte, Carrie Clark Ward,
Vic Potel, and Bud Post.
"Bob Hampton Of Placer" is re-
leased by Associated First National
Pictures, Inc. 1t is a. great produc-
best thing yet made by Mar
shall Neilan-and that is saying a
great deal.

GREAT ARTISTS POORLY PAID
Michael Angelo ToIIed for $32 Month
ly; GiottI for 81 4 Day.

Modern artists who are inclined to
complain Of the lack Of appreciation
Of the public, expressed in dollars and
cents, of their work, may be interested
In the money made by some Of their
famous predecessors.
The ancient masters of painting Ia
bored for small pay. Cimabue, the
first of the great masters and the dis
coverer of Giotti, was paid about 81 a
day, but he had to share this income
with an assistant. GiOtti himself,
called the father of painting and the
producer of many fine masterpieces,
got from IS to $11 for each of his fig
ures. Michael Angelo, Leonardo da
Vinci and Raphael lived in what may
be called the golden age Of art, yet
the first two received salaries Of $32
a month and the last named got $3.50

 The suit against the daughters fol- lowed closely upon an action for
 ivorce, in which Mrs. Butcher names a mysterious "woman across the hall" and Mime. Pitoy, French widow, with whom the Colonel is said to have boarded while overseas.

 Finally he told me he had been ordered with the A. E. F. to Brest and that he was to sail May 1S This was in 1918 Believing in him and trusting him, I was married to him May 1. at Tarrytown, N. "

 But when he returned to New York, in March, 1919, he seemed to be a changed man. He was cold and indifferent. I attribute the change to the influence of his daugh- ters. He found fault continually be- cause I had borne a daughter in. stead of son. We finally agreed to separate, and he gave me $50 a month for the support of myself and the child"
