ORLEANS, Mass, Dec. 26 F1-In-
dications that Mrs. Frances Wilson
Grayson's plane, the Dawn, was lost
and was seeking bearings when its
passed over this town last Friday,
were seen today in the testimony OF
additional persons who said they saw
the plane that evening.
Employees of the French Gable
companys relay station here reported
having heard the plane at TBS p. m.
Friday. Richard Hopkins told one
of the Cable company employees that
the plane passed over his cunning
stand, heading due east, about that
time. He said he saw it swerve
north a few moments later.
Mrs. Howard Cole, who resides
somewhat north of Hopkins stand.
said she also heard the plane, head
ing northward, but that ten nlinuteY
later she heard it again, this time
apparently travelling southeast. From
the noise of the motor she concluded
it was flying low.
Hopkins, who claims good eye
for shore bird shooting, said the
plane seemed not more than 300
feet up.

Psychologist, Dies

MOSCOW, U. S. S. R., Dec. 26.-
Professor Vladimir Mikhailovich
Bakhterev, eminent psychologist, and
founder of the Leningrad Brian
Pantheon for the preservation and
study Of the minds of remarkable
men, has died here after an attack of
pleurisy contracted during his at
tendance at the Moscow Congress of
Neuropathology. Professo Bakhterev
was sixty-nine years old.
AS the second bequest to the Le-
ningrad Pantheon, Professor Bakhte-
rev has left his own brain. The first
bequest was that of Alexander Kony,
writer and critic who died recently
1t is understood that Feodor Chali-
apin. the opera singer, has also be-
queathed his brain to the Pantheon.
According to the plan originated by
Professor Bakhterev, the brain It's
sues of the eminent dead will be pre-
served in glass containers for scien-
tific observation and study. To each
container gold plate will be fastened
telling whose brain is in the jar, and
what its peculiarities may be.

STATE TRADE IN
USSR GAINS FAST

MOSCOW, Dec g., (By Mall THE
amount of trade carried on by private
concerns in the Soviet Union not
merely shows a proportional decrease
in the general commercial turnover,
but also an absolute decrease, accord
ing to figures made public by the re-
turns Of the Peoples Commissariat of
Trade of the Soviet Union.
The turnover of private trade and
industrial enterprises in 1926-27 de-
creased ga per cent in comparison
with trade for 1925-26.
State and cooperative trade shows
a great increase. State trade has
leaped 17.8 per cent and cooperative
trade 40.5 per cent in single year.
The turnover of state and commercial
enterprises proved to be two billion
roubles greater than had been esti-
mated, while private trade was 900
million roubles less than estimates in
the budget.
