SECRET PURCHASES
 PROPOSED IN BILL
Measure Would Give President Power to Buy At Discretion

Washington, July II lP)-Author- ity for secret purchases of material for military and naval uses is pro- posed in a draft of a bill submitted by Secretary Good to Acting Chair man James, of the house military committee.
 The measure to be introduced by James would authorize the president to class as secret certain material apparatus or equipment which, Tn his discretion, is such that the in terests of public service would be in iured by publicly divulging informa- ton concerning them. It would 'au- thorize the purchase and award of contracts for the development man. ufacture or procurement thereof without public advertisement for bids or notice to the trade"
 A provision stipulatcs, however, that the contracts shall not be awarded except where it is imprac- ticabe to develop and manufacture the material in government estab- lishments. The decision of the presi- dent as to what material shall be classed as a secret, would be final.
 The draft of the bill, Secretary Good advised Mir. James, has been approved by the navy and war de- partments. He added that the me cessity for legislation of this char acter has long been felt in both de- partments.'

"The railroad divides the so- called New Town from the Wharf district. On the New Town side. the traveller alghts from a train at a station that many cities of America with more than Harbin's population would be proud to possess. There are some fine streets in the New Town district; on them are large, modern government buildings as we'll as structures that appear to have been erected when Harbin was much younger.
 Automobiles Gaining in Popularity
 The drosky with it's horses framed in bell-hung arches is still popular in Harbin. but the taxica h and private automobile are available at the railroad station and at the hotels.
 When a passenger alights from the train in this Chinese town. he is likely to hear more Russian than Chinese Most of the Harhin hotels whose representatives besiege the traveller at the station are Russ,an or Japanese owned. Unless the Eng fish speaking traveller can speak Russian, Chinese. Japanese. or a lit tie French or German. he has diff culty in making his wishes known. "The Wharf district across the railroad from the New Town and bordering the Sungari river is liar bins business section. Here the traveller gets glimpse of the bust ling commercial life of the city; for Harbin has become a great market through which commercial traffic between Siberia and China flows 1;n- ceasingly.
 "The river front, when yellow soy beans are being shipped, is a mass of small sailing vessels, filled to the gunwales with huge sacks. Bea IS from these boats are destined 10 local and foreign consumers. Most interesting of the agricultural pro- ducts seen in Harbin by the foreign traveller, however. are the Chinese cabbages which resemble huge stalks of Celery.'

KAREN INHABITED
 BY RACIAL RIVALS
Strange Russo-Chinese City
 Built By Railroads in 1896

Washington, D. C., July 11,-H1r- inently in the record breaking travels of world girdlers, recently sprang into the international spot light when group of Chinese raided the soviet consulate.
 "Harbin is almost as Russian as it is Chinese" says bulletin from the Washington, D. c. headquarters of the National Geographic Society, although the city lies in central Manchuria about 200 miles from the nearest border line of Siberia.
 Railroad Built City
 Tn fact, the Russians really put Harbin on the map. Up to the latter part of the 'nineties, the site of Har- tin was a wild desolate region with a few fshermens huts marking the only human habitation. Then Tn 1896 the Russian builders of the Trans Siberian railroad, bent upon reaching Vladivostok, sought to cross Manchuria rather than to build d much longer line entirely in Rus sian territory. A treaty between China and Russia made the short line through Harbin possible.
 "Harbin was really born when Chinese railroad interests saw the feasibility of line running south ward from the Russian railroad. The site of H2rbin was chosen as the junction point. Passengers from Europe now may travel by rail to Harbin; thence to Mukden, the great Manchurian market place; and from there over any of three routes to important cities of the Orient. One line leads to Tientsin and Peiplng and Port Arthur where passenger boats sail for southern China ports: another line bisects the Korean peninsula with one of it's termini at Fusan where a boat ride across Chosen Strait will put the traveler into Japan proper.
 Some Aspects of Boom Town Born of the railroads, Harbin has also been reared by the railroads. Before the World war a railroad employed telephone operator ham, dled all telephone calls; the rail- roads built and maintained hospitals and schools, and even built the city : churches. In recent years, however, a portion of the municipal admins- tration has been placed in the hands of the populace.
 After but three decades, Harbin boasts a population of more than 100000. Some of it's streets in the old portion of the city in many re- spects resemble those of an Ameri- can boom town with its bordering story shops The gay-colored signs in Chinese and Russian at tract the travellers eye; but carts. droskies and loaded donkeys, mi"ed in the hub deep mud, occupy the attention of pedestrians and shop keepers most of the time.

 Halted By Policeman

The grass on the slopes of Walnut Hill park-where it joins West Main street-Was wet and slippery late yesterday afternoon. It made a perfect sliding board for score of youngsters who, unnindful of grass stains. sat themselves down and slid. They shrieked in glee. It was good fun.
 But they did not consider the con- dition of the turf. Soon there were great holes in it where heels had dug in and where slides had come to an abrupt halt People living in the neighborhood and who admire the park called the police. Lieu tenant Bamforth told the officer on the beat The sliding was stopped.

America has won Europe's most

Driving conditions this year were
described as frightful. Unexpectedly
secere weather. which converted
snow drifts into huge ice packs. and
an extensive fog that blanketed
England, France and Belgium, de-
layed the competitors. SO difficult
was this years test that only "a

reaching Monte Carlo within the

been required to maintain an aver
age speed OF not less than 20 miles
per hour from start to finish.
