about 2s million tons of coal to dump on Europe.
 Most of the blows and tractors must be used on Russian farms. for Europe already has high cus- toms barriers on imported farm machinery. Besides, Europe is &C., customed to localized machinery. The Normandy farmer will not use the same type of machinery that a farmer in Germany, central France, or Italy will use.
 Farm Machinery
 Russia is concentrating on one standard type of farm machinery and since 1t Is not of the kind which apepals to the farmers of the remainder of Europe. there Is little chance of Russian machinery driving the other products from the markets. American farm ma- chinery manufacturers dominate the European markets by using branch factories making localized machines.
 The French believe that Rus sia's difficulty will be to conscript enough labor to keep the farm machiner wand factories running at capacity once the Five-Year Plan is ready. It Is already neces- sary to conscirpt 20,000,000 labor CTS for industry and 60,000,000 for agriculture and there Is still such a shortage that 750,000 more women may be forced to ta kelight factory jobs.

 Consume oil Supply
 That is also the idea of Sir Henri Deterding, head of the Royal Dutch group, which believes that Russia, as the second largest producer of oil in the world by 1898, second only to the United States and with double the output of Venezuela, will have little oil left over for export.
 If Russia succeeds in finding iron ore in the Kursk region. 300 miles south of Moscow, the whole of the increased coal production can be used at home. Otherwise. Russia should have surplus ot

NEW X-RAY TUBE HAS LONGER LIFE

State College, Pa (UP)--Penn- sylvania State College scientists are credited with developing a new x-ray tube of unlimited use, a re- markable contribution to science and medicine.
 The new tube recently had been burning more than 10000 hours without any sings of giivng out. Ordinary x-ray tubes usually last about 450 hours before electronic action destroys their usefulness.
 Dr w. R. Ham, professor Of physics, and Dr Wheeler D. Davey, professor of physical chem istry, are credited with the devel- opment of the new type tube, which is still in the experimental stage.
 The basic idea of the new tube developed during a conservation over research work in which Dr Davey related his annoyance in having x-ray tubes crack and break because of the intense heat develop ed by electrons within the sealed glass. Dr Ham at the same time was studying electranic action as

 Participants

Put-In-B Bay, Ohio.-Perry's Vic-
 tory Memorial. memorializing the
 more than century old friendship
 between the United States and
 Canada, was formally dedicated to-
 day by representatives, of the two
 countries. Commemorating the victory of
 Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry
 over the British fleet under Com
 modore Barkley in the Battle or
 Lake Erie, September 10. 1913. the
 Northwestern campaign oG General
 William Henry Harrison in the War of 1872 and the resultant peace between United States ana Great Britain, the memorial is the second highest monument in the world. It stands 352 feet high on this Lake Erie isle, overlooking the
 scene of Perry's conquest and the
 border line of Canada and Uniteo States.
 The fiuted doric column of the memorial with its plaZas and ap- breaches is constructed of Massa- chusetts granite. Its appearance from a distance is white and be- cause of the slim strip of land on which it is erected seems to rise directly from the water.
 The column is 45 feet In diam eter at the base. A spectators gall lery, attainable by elevator, or cir cular stairway, is constructed on top. protected by 8 four-foot par apet.
 Historic Names The walls of the rotunda and the elevator floor above are embel- lished with historical tablets, four of which contain the names of the Americans who engaged in the Battle of Lake Erie, or in con- structing the American fleet. Flood lights illuminate the exterior at night so that the edifice is discern ible at a great distance across the waters.
 The monument designed by Jo- seph H. Freedlander of New York, was partially finished in 1915 when 1t was opened to the public. It's completion, however, was not fnai
 until, years later.
