CORN SUPPLIED
SOVIET RUSSIA
FAMINE AREAS
Every District Is Reported
Supplied with Corn for
Feeding of Adults.

LONDON, May 13.-Every district
in the Russian famine areas is now
provided with corn for adult feed
ing. says a cable message received
at the London office of the American
Relief Administration. The last dis
trct to receive the food was Kazan,
where the corn arrived April 2.
Thirty-two hundred horse teams
are now distributing it to the outly-
ing villages near Kazan racing
against time and the spring thaw
which will make the Kama River i'm
passable Spassk, one of the worst
areas, lies across the Kama, and
every effort is being made to get
the food there in time.
If % per cent OF the American
supplies reach their destination be-
fore the thaw finally sets in, then
he adult program is assured, in
the opinion of American Relief Ad-
ministration officials. That amount
will carry the people in the remote
villages through until such time as
The river navigation and the harden
ing of the roads makes them again
accessible The cities therefore are
receiving their rations last, because
they can always be reached from the
railroads.
All American Relief Administration
supplies are now moved in solid
trains of 30 cars or more and are
routed straight through to their ulti-
mate destination. One hundred and
seventy thousand tons of supplies
left Russian ports for the interior
during the month of March.
When the thaw prevents transpor-
tation in the outlying districts. the
movement from the ports will still
continue, but the cars will be routed
to Ribinsk and Tzaritzin. Here the
corn will be stored until the opening
OF river navigation makes it's ship
ment by water possible.

FROM POSTWAR
OPERATION NOW
Government Forecasts Swed-
ems Economic Recovery

STOCKHOLM, May 13.-Sweden S
complete future recovery from a Sc
ries of painful operations for post
war ills Is forecast in the Official
economic report of the Swedish For
eign Office, Commerce Department.
just made public. It's principal note
of optimism is the Swedish exchange.
After year and a half OF deflatioa
and international liquidation still
under way, the Swedish krona is vir-
tually at par.
The government experts find that
the greatest obstacles to economic
recovery lie in the competition of
countries with deprecated currency
and in the fact that wages have not
vet been sufficiently REDUCED. Coun-
tries with low exchange can dump
goods in Sweden at prices against
which Swedish manufacturers cannot
compete Likewise, in the foreign
markets. Sweden Is severely handi-
capped because of her high exchange
rate.
The report states that there is
strong tendency toward revival in
many lines of industry but that the
natural process of building up is de-
layed by unsettled conditions in Cen
trail and Eastern Europe. the none
tary troubles and the uncOmpleted
process of wage adjustment.
The Foreign Office finds that dur
ing the second half of 1921 and the
first quarter of this year there was
observed slight increase in the &C.
'fvities of Sweden's basic industries
accompanied by expansion In foreign
trade. especially in timber. pulp and
paper.
Although great interest has been
shown in an early return to the gold
standard. the Foreign Office reports
that doubts have been expressed OF
the wisdom of adopting the American
dollar as basis OF parity, as suggest
ed BY some financial experts.
Bank savings and deposits show
marked drop during the first quar-
Ter Of the year. This Is attributed to
consumption of capital during the

MUD CONQUERS
FIRE IN Mine
Underground Fires No Longer
Considered Unquenchable
New Method Used.

ANACONDA, Mont, May 10
Fighting fires in mines is slow,
tedious Job and since the dawn of
mining has been considered almost
a hopeless undertaking. Rich mines
in many parts of the world have
been burning for generations, their
rich stores of wealth being guarded
of deadly gases and rock walls white
with the heat of fires smoldering
beyond.
But underground fires no longer
are to be considered unquenchable
as in the Butte district a process of
fire fighting has been developed by
the Anaconda Copper Mining Com
pany which is salyaging an ore body
of tremendous extent. Fires that
have been burning for Is years in
three connecting mines are being
smothered under million tons of
mud
BY the end of 1922 two million
tons of metalliferous ore, containing,
according to expert estimates. at
least $4,000 tons of copper, once
more will be accessible.
A great part of this store of
wealth already has come within the
reach of the miners and not only
that, but large area which here
tCfore has been inaccessible because
of poisonous gases, now is being
worked
The process of fighting the sub
terranean fire as developed is not
complicated. 1t is an adaptation OF
an idea evolved in 1884 by fire fight
ers at a coal mine in the Schuykill
region of Pennsylvania. Sand, de-
composed rock and other materials
which came originally from the
slopes and were discarded as tailings
in the process of copper extraction,
simply have been turned back into
