RUINED NOBILITY IN RUSSIA IS SMILING
Former Subjects Of Czar Are Very
 Cheerful

LOS ANGELES. Sept 3o.-(By the Associated Press. )-Building new American careers out of the wreck age of prosperity wiped out in the Russian revolution is a task opti- mistically undertaken by former subjects of Czar Nicholas who have found themselves stranded In Los Angeles, according to Elizabeth Beg iaroff. Russian secretary of the h. ternational institute of the Young Women's Christian association.
 There is tragedy and pathos, says which well educated, refined and tal- ented Russians of noble birth have found all occupations closed to them but those of menial sort. Some, however, are more fortunate. For instance, there is a former military officer who has found success as a college instructor In mathematics. Another, a former general in Kol- chaks army, conducts a school for Russian American children, but a third former officer of high rank, an aristocrat of the old regime, Is unable to find even menial work. His wife packs cosmetics in a local factory.
 A former count. after serving as a chauffeur for wealthy family, lately acquired enough capital to buy taxicab of his own. Another refugee of noble lineage works as a lineman for power company. while a former military leader under the Romanoff's earns This living as Ia fatory hand. fFE
 Despite the heart-aches attached to such reversals of fortune, Miss Beglaroff says these refugees fre- quently exhibit a cheerfulness that is surprising. In the words of a former statesman under Kerensky, who is now working here as an elec- trician, All happens for the best in a mans life" .-G ...s-.--

WINNIPEG, Manitoba, Sept. 30.- (By Associated Presso-Erection of the first pulp and paper plant in the prairie provinces at a cost of $3.- 100000 has been begun near Winni- peg. The plant will have an initial capacity of 120 tons of newsprint a day and will, it is believed, furnish paper to the. middle western market of the United States
 Location of the plant in the west. it is said, is an indication of the ex- pansion of the Canadian newsprint industry. It was cncef thought that the pulpwood supplies of -the prairie provinces would not be called into requisition for years, but the, increas- ing consumption of the middle west ern,fstates and the,s proximity to the prairie provinces has brought about the demand production in the Dominion rose from 690,250 tons in 1921 to 1,0s1,364 tons in 1922 and this year. it ia reported, it will show even greatef gains. @@ s.

DENOUNCES PERSECUTION
Noted Jew DepIOres Conditions In
 Russia

Russia
 VIENNA, Sept 30.-(By Associated Press.)-The treatment of orthodox Jews in Russia drew forth a strong denunciation from pr. Nathan Birn- baum of Hamburg at the recent con gress here of Ajudas Jisroel
 "In Russia" the speaker said. "ft has become a principle to suppress anything breathing a religious spirit. All believing men are persecuted The synagogues are being closed and converted into workingmens clubs We do not desire to apptrtion po- litlcal blame to anyone, nor to exam inc into how far the soviet govern ment is responsible for all these things. But Russia will not suc- ceed in suppressing the living faith in Gods presence, not even if they lock up all the Christians, all the Mohammedans and all the Jews" pleased Harding, who thought 1t un- timely. He feared it would give too much of a political complexion to his western trip.
 The announcement by Daugherty was taken by the country to have been inspired by the President. But this was not the case. Daugherty acted on his own initiative.
 Other cabinet members had already predicted Harding's renomination. Because of Daugherty's close rela- tionship. his announcement was seized upon as having been inspired.
 But for all of his annoyance, Hard ing never revealed his feelings. He knew that Daugherty was moved only by a desire to help him and there was no rebuke, such as a less trusted advisor might have received Closer Than Brother.
 Daugherty was at the White House for luncheon or dinner several times 8 week and often dropped In eve- nings. Sometimes he and the Pres ident would sit up SC late that Hard ing would persuade his guest to stay over night Daugherty was closer than a brother to Harding.
 But that Is all changed now. He has not been guest at the White House since Coolidge moved in. He has seldom been to the Presidents office except to attend cabinet meet ings. There is no coGlness between them. It is just that Daugherty be- longs to a group that has passed out of power and does not belong to the Coolidge crowd He has swung with the wheel of political fortune. His life's drama has ended and he re- mains in the cabinet largely for a sentimental eason-CColidge wants to preserve the Harding cabinet in- tact until after the next election.

ROAD FUND swELLED

The new gasoline and wheel tax Madison culSuradAMired edazSdi. shrd laws, which will become effective in Madison county, are. expected to pro- vide an aggregate fund annually of $80,000 according to s. w. Fleming, chairman of the Madison county board of commissioners. This amount will be added to the road fund which is received from the general fund and which averaged about $100,000 year. With this amount available every year it is expected that Madison county can soon have enough to start system of permanent highways radiating from Huntsville Into every section of the county. Mir. Fleming s idea is to build from the city toward the country districts and continue operations each year, the fund being large enough to make bond issues unnecessary in the future.
