MOSCOW, Nov. 3. With coal,
metal and many other industries
nearing the fulfilment OF their quota
of daily production program, the rail-
road workers under the leadership Of
the Communist Party are making
heroic efforts to bring transport into
line with the growing demands.
Shipments of construction mater
ials for new factories and cities grow
ing up all over the country, whose
territory is twice the extent of the
United States, are continually in
creasing; shipments of coal for cities,
the fall harvest and goods to meet
the rising standards of the city work.
ers are also increasing. The railroad
program calls for the movement of
$4,000 freight cars daily. In proper
ton to equipment, this is far heav-
Ter traffic program than that of
America.
Freight Traffic Grows
The Soviet freight traffic has ex-
banded in the first two years of the
Five-Year Plan from 156,O0o,O0o tons
to 238,00O,00O, as compared with 132,-
100000 in 1913, making an eighty per
cent growth above the pre-war level.

Alaska is again indebted to William A. Finley, noted natural ist who has spent number of years iii the Territory and who lectures each winter throughout the United States. One of his most recent lectures was given before the Board of Education, Atlantic City New Jersey, in the Senior high school auditorium. The lecture was presented under the auspices of The American Nature Association and the next day the following article ap peared in the Press:
 From the ice bound tundras of Alaska, William A. Finley brought to the auditorium of the high school last night, remarkable series of films depicting wild life in Uncle Sam's attic. MT. Fin ley, sponsored by the American Nature Association supplemented the yLsualization with descriptive detail which was received with pleasure by the large portion of the Atlantic City public that is attracted by these educational stories provided by the board of education.

Finley and his party sailed along the rock bound coast of southeastern AL aSka and about the volcanic AL eutian Islands that extend across Bering Sea almost to Asia. The patience and the difficulties at tached to shooting some of the close-ups of caribou, silver fox. ptarmigan, kingflhers, sea lions, salmon. whales and seals, stamp ed MT. Finley as more than a naturalist, for only the true lov- er of wild life could make such interesting observations and as siduous search for subjects.

is being done on the fairways at the
Congressional Club these days, one
would think the club is getting the
course in shape for a big championship
at some date in the near future. Many
of the fairwayS have been diSked and
are being planted to German bent grass,
and evidences of carefully thought-out
work are noticeable all over the course
The sixteenth hole has a temporary
green, but the regular green soon will
be in use.
Congressional has put ban on visit
ing caddies. The club Is so far out
from street car lines and so inaccessible
except by automobile that the authori-
ties have frowned upon caddies from
other clubs going to Congressional to
seek work and has let 1t be known that
only caddieS who are established at
Congressional will be permitted on the
club grounds.
The club runs a bus to the grounds to
carry caddies to and from the course
and thus hopes to eliminate "drifters"
among the caddie ranks. In return for
the cost of running them to and from
the club by bus the club authorities
make 1t possible for nearly every regu-
lar caddie at Congressional to secure
jobs without competition from "drifters"
The caddie fee is 81 a round, and
DR.. Bruce L. Taylor, chairman OF the
Tournament Committee, has figured out
that members of the club spent more
than $4,000 in caddie fees last year.
THE Women's District Golf Associa-
L ton has boldly taken the bull by
the horns and raised the handi-
caps of all its members three and four
strokes. Aided by the new ball, which
Is shorter from the tee than the old
sphere, and the new par ratings of the
Women's Eastern Golf Association, the
local women'S golf orga niZation has
arbitrarily raised the handicaps of its
players until they are more nearly on
par with those of other sections.
In many cases four strokes have been
added to the 1880 handicap Of the play
ers, while in some cases only three
strokes have been added. On the whole,
the handicaps have been brought closer
to the real game OF the players handi-
capped.
Tomorrow chairmen Of the women's
golf committees of many of the local
clubs will go to Baltimore to meet with
chairmen Of the women's committees of
Baltimore clubs to attempt to arrive at
an equitable handicapping system for
women players connected with Mary
land clubs.
The next big tournament for the fair
golfers about Washington is the COM
petition for the Phyllis Keeler Miller
Memorial trophy to be played over the
course of the Washington Golf and
Country Club next Tuesday This is

and is becoming one CT the classic tour
for women about the Capital.
Two years ago the women's golf asso-
citation presented the Washington club
with handsome sun-dial, which was
placed near the first tee at the Virginia
course.
