SOVIET TRANSFORMS
SIBERIAN CUSTOMS
William J. Morden, Explorer, Ad,
dresses National Geographic
Society Audience.

The red star of the Soviet Is trans
forming the desert tribes and river Ash
erm7n of Siberia, William j. Morden,
explorer told the members of the Ma
tional Geographic Society during his
lecture, MY Quest of the Saiga An
t3lope and the Long-Haired Tig.r," in
the Washington Auditorium last night
Turkcstan is now a country of "spe-
cialists," that is, any man who is not
a day laborer calls himself a specialist,
Mr., Morden declared.
Old tribal lines and customs are being
broken in some respects, but the efforts
of the Soviet officials and educators to
eliminateN private trading have made
very little Roadway, Mr.. Morden de-
clared Textile factories have made little
inroad into production from small shops
and hand looms. Bartering goes on as
Of old in the public squares and traders
parade their horses before shaking
hands in pump-handle style-the ira
ditional seal Of contract
Only in the matter of the veil have
the government officials made much
Roadway. On the streets of Samarkand
the new capital, the young women Of
Turk'stan walk with their features eX-
posed, although their younger sisters
hide their faces.
Financially the new Asiatic republics
are sound. In SamarEand, Mr.. Mordcn
found, the Russian rub'e passes at tine
same value that it does in Moscow. New
railroads, motor cars and American sew
ing machines are revolutionizing life
among these once nomed and des.rt
people

UNS|GHTLY RUBBISH
HIT IN BILL DRAWN
BY DISTRICT HEADS
Vacant Lots Would Be Clean
ed Under Penalty of Fine
in Proposal.
OWNERS WOULD ERECT
FENCES AT OWN COST
Public Safety and Health Given as
Legal Reasons for Effecting
Esthetic Results.
Derelict automobiles and auto parts,

Derelict automobiles and auto parts
old building material, and other un-
slightly piles of discarded substances
on vacant lots were the target of a bill
approved by the District Commission
erS yesterday for submission to Con-
greSS for enactment at the coming seS-
sion of Congress.
The bill, drawn up by Assistant Cor
poration Counsel Vernon L. West, pro-
videS that where such conditions exist,
the owner of the lot shall be given
five days within which to remedy the
condition. If he fails to do so, he shall.
on conviction in Police Court, be fined
not exceeding $50 for each day of the
offense.
Authorizes Fencing of Property.
The act also gives the Commissioners
the power, after proper notice, to in
close the unsightly lot with fence, and
to assess and collect against the prop
erty owner the cost of building the
fence, the assessment to become a cloud
upon the title to the property in the
same manner as assessments for road
way, sewer, sidewalk and other improve
ments which remain unpaid.
In recommending the passage of the
bill, Mr.. West wrote:
premises located in other than indus
trial districts or zones are used as a
carting, express or hauling yard or
generally for storage of material of any
kind in the conduct of business the
owners and users thereof would be sub
ject to penalties of the coming law.
However, even in residential districts,
the mere existence of such unsightly
vacant lots caused by the presence
thereon of abandoned automobiles or
other like material does not of itself
constitute nuisance, either public or
private. So while the use of property
generally in manner offensive to the
eye only cannot be regulated, yet when
other elements are present calculated to
infringe upon public safety, health or
welfare, esthetic considerations may
be coupled Herewith and taken into
consideration in determining whether
action by the authorities could be had
looking to the elimination of such use"
Esthetic Features Not Alone.
In the proposed legislation the ele-
ments having to do with public safety,
health, etc, are taken care of by in
serting provisions relating to an un-
covered we'll, cistern. dangerous hole or
excavation, and these, together with
abandoned automobiles or other debris.
are expressly declared to be "a nuisance
dangerous to life and limb and to the
safety welfare and convenience Of the
public" No reference is made in the
bill to purely esthetic considerations.
