NEARLY FINISHED
IN MAIN REGIONS
Strict Laws to Deal
With Sabotagers

A total area of 165 million acres,
or over 80 per cent of the total win
ter and spring grain sowings, had
been harvested by September 5 in
the Soviet Union, according to the
latest reports.
While this is less than the area
harvested by the same date last year
(which amounted to about 169 mil
lion acres), the rate Of harvesting
has shown a marked upward trend
from week to week, resulting into a
considerable reduction in the differ
ence between this and last years
harvested area.
Thus while in August 10 the har-
vested area was Of about 20 million
acres by September the difference
had been reduced by nearly 40 per
cent, to 18 million acres.
Harvest Nearly Completed on Aug. rs
In the principal grain growing
regions the harvesting was nearly
completed by August 25.
J The state and collective farms to-
gether accounted for 10 per cent of
the area harvested, as against II per
cent on the same date last year.
Slow Progress in Threshing
BY August Is the Crimea had
threshed over 10 per cent Of its har-
vested area, while the Middle Volga
and the Central Black Soil Regions
had threshed nearly half.
However threshing for the country
as whole was progressing unsatis-
factorily, especially in such impor-
tant grain regions as the Ukraine,
the North Caucasus and the Lower
Volga Regions.
The same three regions last men
toned have also been the most back
ward in the matter of grain delivery
to the State.
Exceptional good deliveries we're
made by the Tartar and Bashkir Re-
publics and the Ural Region.
Activities of KuIaks and Spectators
The slow rate of threshing and
grain delivery, while due largely to
the peer organization of labor and
: the Inadequate utilization of avail
able machinery, equipment and draft
power, may to some extent be as
cribod to the renewed activities of
the kulaks trying to disrupt the COL
lective farms.
These activities have expressed
themselves both in sabotaging the
state grain deliveries and in damag-
ing, through thefts and violence, the
collective farm property.
In view of the reiterated theftS by
the kulaks 1t became necessary to
institute stricter measures to safe
guard socialized property and to this
end the Central Executive Commit
tee and the Council Of Peoples Com
misssrS issued special decree on
August 7 making the theft of social
lied property capital offense. In
the event of extsnuating circumstan-
ces, the sentence may be committed
TO ten years in Jail and confiscation
of all property. No amnesty will be
granted to criminals convicted under
this decree.

Executive Committee and the Coun-
Gil of Peoples Commissars on Au-

punishable with to 10 years in jail

activity designated to stem the tide
Of socialization. They often act as
aeroynnlicas tn the kjjlaks In fhefts

the state wharehcusss, collective

Ministry Of Agriculture when great
masses Of workers, including old men
and women with babies on their
backs, demanded the distribution 70
free rice.
The Minister Of Agriculture refused
to receive delegation Of workers and
the police dispersed the demonstra-

ENGINEER FINDS WAY TO UTILIZE
 HYDROGEN FUEL
K e wives Old Idea with Specially Design
 ed Motor

BERLIN, July 16.-Karl Erren, an automotive engineer, has reviv- ed the hydrogen fuel idea with a specially designed motor.
 Hydrogen can be obtained from water by a rather simple electrical decomposition Engineers have play ed with this fact for years with out ever getting a hydrogen plant to produce cheaply enough to com- pete with gasoline.
 Would Use Power Plants
 Erren proposes some accessories to bridge this difference in cost First, he says, the electric power plants of great cities have to let their expensive machinery lie idle much of the time because of the peak loads situation.
 A city wants big supply of electricity at certain hours of the day and comparatively little at other times. The power plant has to be big enough to supply these peak" loads.
 The idle time Erren would use for decomposing water into hydro gen, he points out, is now val uable byproduct of such decom- position. Whether there would still be a market for oxygen in larger quantities remains to be seen.
 Says Gas Consumption Lowered
 Erren asserts that nitrogen can be collected from the exhaust of a hydrogen motor. He claims that mixing a small amount of hydro gen with gasoline lowers consid- erably the gasoline consumption of a standard motor. Finally he says equally good savings are ef- fected by mixing hydrogen with crude oil and diesel motor fuels.
 Erren was a flyer at the west ern front in the World War.

FAST PLANE
 GRABS MAIL

CHICAGO, July 16-Air mail, and express may in the future be picked up and delivered by planes travelling at full speed, through an invention of Dr. Lytle S. Adams, of the Industrial Department of the Chicago Association of Com plerce.
 The invention also may enable the mooring of dirigibles without the aid of large ground crews, in Dr Adams opinion.
 The invention consists of a "thimble," closed at one end, the other end being just large enough to admit a metal ball. This ball hangs on the end of cable that is let down from the plane or di- rigible.
 The thimble is fastened to the mail sack and is placed in a chute, wide at one end, narrow at the other. The plans swoops down. trailing the metal ball at the end of it's cable. The ball enters the chute and is guided into the thim- ble, which is at the narrow end. With the ball engaged in the thim- ble, the mail or express is pulled aloft on the cable.
 In consequence of indorsement given Dr. Adams invention by the Chamber of Commerce aviation committee, plans are under way for a 300-mile air mail and ex- press delivery service to radiate out of Chicago.

HE ON WAY TO CHILE TO GUARD GERMANS
Cruiser Sent to Southern Country Because of
 Revolt Disorders

To protect German tourists from reported revolutionary disorders in Chile, the cruiser Karlsruhe. which recently visited Juneau, is now hastening to the South American country, according to information in letter received by Harry Yvr- man of this city from an officer aboard the warcraft.
 The cruiser was voyaging south from Seattle and was off the Ore gon coast when her commander. Capt Wassner, got radio orders, issued by the admiralty at Berlin, to proceed as fast as possible to Chile All plans of the vessel for goodwill visits were changed to conform to the instructions.
 To reach the Chilean coast, the ship needed to replenish her fuel tanks, and she put into the port of Los Angeles for oil. While she was there, the letter to MT. Yvrman was mailed
 There is large number of Ger man-born persons in Chile and German business and industry have heavy investments in that coun- try.

FIRST HERRING
 TAGGING TO BE
 DONE THIS YEAR
Rounsfell and D a h gre n Here to Continue Her.
 ring Investigations

Tagging of herring to cheek up on their routes of travel in South east Alaska waters will be under taken for the first time this sea- son, it was announced here today by G. A. Roundsfell, Junior Ac- quatic Biologist on the scientific staff of the United States Bureau Of Fisheries, who arrived here last night with his assistant Edwin J. Dahlgren. They are working in lower Chatham Strait again this season.
 MT. Rounsfell, aided by MT Dahl gren, most of the time, has been engaged in a study of herring fish cries in Southeast Alaska for Sev- eral years. Data gathered is being published from time to time, and his findings have been used by the Bureau as basis for the reg ulationS under which the herring packing and reduction industries are operated
 Several thousand herring will be tagged this season, if possible to do so, they will put tags on 20,- 0C0 fish. The tagging of salmon has been successfully conducted in these waters in past years. and was valuable to indicate the main migration routes of the salmon runs. It is expected similar bene- ficial results will be obtained by the tagging of herring.
 Five herring plants are being operated in the lower Chatham district this season, MT. Rounsfell said They are making fair catch es and last weeks take were un- usually fine and were used for mild curing. The packers will cure every fish large enough as their only chance for profit lies in the salt pack, MT. Rounsfell said. Oil is now quoted at 12 cents per gal lon, less than the manufacturing cost, and meal is almost unstable.

others have come from units having less

He says that the Improvement In
small arms firing practice during the
year has not been as great as mlgnt
reasonably be expected considering the
amount Of ammunition expended and
the number of qualifications attained.
The Militia Bureau chief adds that
the percentage of men qualified does
not indicate satisfactory progress, ana
it is believed that this condition Is,
In general, due to two principal causes
lack of efficient preparatory lnstruc-
ton and failure to develop Sutf1clent
coaches Of proper caliber for assign
ment to firing points during range
practice. He adds that to correct TINS
condition, the Militia Bureau directed
that schools be established during the
armory training period in each Ma
tional Guard organization for the
training Of company officers and non
commissioned officers to fit them Tor
duty as instructors and coaches.
He found that there is still lack
of proper attention to training in the
use of auxiliary weapons. The i'm
portance and desirability Of such train
ing has been brought to the attention
of the National Guard and more sat-
iSfactory progress is expected.
During the past year the Militia
Bureau has continued the policy OF
establishing small arms ranges at home
