MOSCOW, May 20.-Although no Of

United States and Soviet Russia, init
mate contact by letter is maintained
by Russians living in America with
their relatives in Russia. Tens Of
thousands Of Russians in the home
land are supported entirely by remit
tances received from sons, daughters,
fathers or brothers who emigrated to
America.
Previous to the World War an aver
age of $4,000 900 was sent annually

Russians settled in America. AL
though this sum has never been
reached since, the remttances grad

Last month, for example, a single in
stttution here which makes a speciality
os banking business with Americans,
handled nearly 81 1000 900 in remit
tances from Russians in America to
relatives in Russia.
For long time Russians here es-
pecially in the villages, had no con-

and insisted on receiving American
greenbacks from their relatives, in
preference to Russian rubles. But
with the sterilization of Russian
money this situation has changed, and
during the last six months more than
30 per cent of the remittances trans

TACOMA, Wash, June 13.-The
cabalistic words "thirty-four fifty"
have struck terror into the hearts of
many bootleggers in this section and
they have more significance to the
rum-running fraternity than all the
clauses in the Volstead law.
"Thirty-four fifty" means section
$3.50 of the revised Federal statutes
and covers an act passed by Congress
in 1886. 1t refers to the transporta-
ton of articles that have not paid an
Internal revenue tax and provides that
the vehicle used for such transporta-
tions shall be conflscated.
The Eolstead law has a somewhat
similar provision, but Federal prose.
cutors here found that forfeitures
under it were not successful owing
to conditional sales of automobiles.
So the Government ATTORNEYS de-
cfded to use the power provided by
section 3450 and they have been EN-.
ploying it with great effect. Every
few weeks the United States marshal
holds an auction sale of automobiles
confscated because they were haul
ing liquor on which no Federal tax
was paid. In several cases a jury has
found the operator Of a rum carrier
innocent, but hts car has been libeled
under section 3450 and ordered sold.
Wallace Mount, assistant United

Government has obtained the for
feiture of every automobile or truck
libeled under section a450 in this

ROME, May 23.-Grown-up Italians
enjoy holidays as much as American
schoolboys. Consequently scarcely a
week passes without a festive occa-
sion, official, religious. political, semi
official, sectional or what not, in some
city or section of the Cisalpine nation.
Conventions, congresses and meet

Italy's professors and politicians as
they are to boosters of chambers of
commerce in America. Red-letter days
of one sort or another for somebody
or other are as frequent as they are in
midseason in Squire Ebbet's base ball
park, in Brooklyn.
For example, the month of April was
veritably Uttered with holidays Holy

the Holy Year, furnished a goodly
number. Then all of the branches and
sections of all the numerous political
parties stopped work for several DAYS

which in times past was noted as a
heavy drinking college. Many OK
ford notables attended or announced
their sympathy with the movement.
The vice chancellor, whose Office Is
somewhat equivalent to that Of the
American university president, point
ed out that drinking has decreased
enormously in the university during
the past 20 years. He said that in
his undergraduate days the usual en-
tertainment was the wine party,
whereas today such parties were held
only on special occasions, as very
few students regularly keep wine in
their rooms. There was, he said, no
reason for relaxing the prohibition
campaign on this account. In this
he was probably correct, for strict
temperance has not yet in oxford &C.
quired the full status of virtue. The
colleges all sell beer, ale and wines to
their students on long and easy cred
its, and provide these drinks in their
halls. and several operate their own
breweries.
But at that there has been great
improvement. A late seventeenth
century chronicler, speaking of Bal
liol College which is now known as
the intellectual leader of oxford, said:
There Is over against Balliol a hor-
rid, dingy. scandalous alehouse, fit
for none but draymen and tinkers.
Here the Balliol men continually do
lie, and by perpetual bibbing add art
to their natural stupidity to make
themselves perfect sots."

NEW ORLEANS, June 1S.-"Old
john" the city's most unusual guest,
is dead, and policemen attached to the
second precinct station are mourning
the passing of a friend.
The old man drifted in three years
ago and begged a nights lodging.
That was granted, as is customary
but the old fellow made himself so
friendly and useful that he simply
stayed on, although, according to the
law, he should have been sent to a
charity home.
He ran errands for policemen and
prisoners and did odd jobs around the
station house, picking up what change
he could and wearing what friendly
policemen gave him.
When he died an effort was made
to learn something definite about him,
but he had rarely talked about him
self and all\that could be learned was
that he was John Francis. "a, native
of Montreal, and had two sisters in
Illinois. He said once he had not

Correspondence OF the Associated fress'
BUENOS AIRES, May 14.-When
the Prince of Wales sees Buenos Aires
by night for the first time, he may
wonder whether he is a prince of the
Arabian Nights, and what genii have
transformed this southern metropolis
into a dazzling fairyland OF light ana
beauty to do him honor.
Buenos Aires is famed for its ex-
travagance in illumination and deco
ration to celebrate carnival and ma
tional holidays, every year outdolng
what was done the year before. 1t
staged, perhaps, the most wonderful
any city on the occasion of the visit
of the Italian prince last year, and
now for the visit of the scion of Eng
lish royalty, it is preparing to break
the record again.
Ribbons Of Light.
Millions of multicolored electric
light globes will be used. They will
outline the government house, the
CAPITOL, all public edifices and hun
dreds of office buildings and institu-
tions. The Avenida de Mayo, which is
Buenos Aires Broadway, will be a
cleaning bower of electric garlands
and arches, placed every half block.
The many parks and plazas Of the
city will be planted with artistic
columns joined with lacelike ribbons
of light, and the walks and flower
beds will be outlined with lights set in
the ground.
Electric lights, too, will flash out the
flags and coats of arms of Great Brit
ain and Argentina, placed at appro-
pirate points, and searchlights and in
direct glow lights will also be used
with effect.
Near Princes Quarters.
Mingled with all will be a profuse
display of streamers and flags of both
countries which will make the city
gay with color during the day as well
as at night. Special pains will be
taken in the artistic decoration of
the streets leading to the mansion
where the prince will live.

ID. C.. CHILD DEATH RATE CUT
BY EDUCATION FOR MOTHERS
Local Welfare Work During 20 Years Has Made
Great Reduction in Fatal Cases of
"Sunn,er'' Ailments

Twenty-Five years ago 216 children
out of every thousand born in Wash
ington died before they were 1 year
old.
Last year only Is died out of every
thousand born.
Twenty years ago an exceptional
hot wave, such as that which rolled
over the city last week, would have
left stacks of little white collins in its
wake.
Last week, so far as the records
show, there was no increase whatso-
ever in child deaths.
Formerly a few days of excessive
heat was certain to fill every bed in
Children's Hospital and leave a walt
ing list.
Today there are many empty beds
less than half as many as last year
being occupied.
The reason for this exceptional con-
dition, according to DR.. Hugh j..
Davis, director of the Child Welfare
Society, is that increasing education
of mothers has practically eliminated
the so-called Summer" ailments OF
children, the digestive disorders due to
sudden changes in conditions, which
used to be deaths trump cards in
playing for child lives.
Educational Work.
This educational work has been
going on for the past 20 years In
Washington, on small scale at first,
but with continued growth and effec-
tiveness, until now it has answered
the most perplexing problem of ply.
sicians in dealing with children-not
how to cure them when they get sick
but how to prevent them from becom-
ing sick.
AS the number of patients admitted
to Children's Hospital has dropped,
however, the attendance at the clinics
of the Child Welfare Society has in
creased. During the past year these
went up 1000. Last month alone.
1860 cases were treated in the dis
pensary.
Many of these children would have
become hospital patients and not
few of them would have died. had it
not been for the fact that their moth
ers knew of the work of the clinic
and brought the little ones there in
time.
Despite the changeable weather this
Summer. there have been no high
peaks in the hospital records. There
have been cases of disordered diges-
tions, more or less serious, but they
have shown no tendency to increase
or decline in accordance with the
antics of the thermometer.
So remarkably has the educational
work progressed, DIR. Davis said. that
the chief source of worry now is not
Summer sickness, but Winter sick
ness. This problem itself gradually
is yielding to education, but 1t is much
more difficult and requires more at
tention to individual cases.
Model for Country.
The work of the Child Welfare So
ciety, formerly distributed in clinics
about the city, now Is concentrated at
the Children's Hospital clinic, which
rapidly is becoming a model for the
whole country. The neighborhood
clinics have been taken over by the
city health department.

COTTON BELT LAND
VALUES INCREASE
Hold Own Despite Boil Wee
vii and Exodus of Farm
Labor From South.

Despite the boil weevil and negro
labor migration, farm land values in
the cotton belt have averaged an in
crease since 1923, L. C. Gray, farm
land values expert of the Department
of Agriculture, declared yesterday.
In fact. he asserted during the
heavy postwar deflation land values
In the cotton belt showed less loss
than any other farming community
and much less than the wheat belt.
AS an illustration, he added for the
five-year period beginning with 1920
land values in the United States as a
whole decreased 80 per cent. in Iowa
3S per cent and in the cotton belt only
1876 per cent.
Since 1928, he said, these losses have
been lessened, with the United States
as a whole showing a decrease of 5.3
per cent, Iowa 49, while the cotton
belt shows an actual increase of 7.3
per cent.
Texas Lands Lead.
BY States the statistice show that
for the two-year period beginning with
1923 land values in Texas increased
1876 per cent, Mississippi decreased III
per cent Alabama increased TT per
cent, Georgia decreased 3.8 per cent,
South Carolina increased SO per cent
ana NOIlfl SiiO" GU III
Although a greater number of ne
groes now are moving from the South
to the North than from the North to
the South, DIR. Grey declared this
movement of negro labor does not ap-
pear to curtail cotton acreage. AS a
matter of fact. he said. in 1918, when
the negro exodus from the South was
at it's peak, 36,000,000 acres of cotton
was picked. which was 100000 acres
more than the average picked for the
five previous years.
During the period from 1909 to 1918,
when the movement of negro labor
virtually was at a standstill, the aver
age acreage picked was 34,O00,OOO,
while in 1928, when concern was eX-
pressed over negro migration, 81 ,000,-
900 acres were picked, or 100000
more than when negro labor was
abundant.
