Soviet government, for designing and
constructing DnieproStroy, Russia's gi-
gantic power development in the South
ern Ukraine.
He is the first foreigner to receive
the honor which is awarded only for
outstanding achievements in defense
of the country
Six members of his engineering staff
received the Order of Lenin for out
standing achievements in socialist con-
struction"
The decorations became known 81
multaneouslv with formal acceptance by
the government of the giant power
plant. the largest of its kind in the
world, from the American builders.
Leaves for Berlin.
Col. Cooper left for Berlin Saturday
night with all except one of the men,
bers of his staff of nine who have been
on the job since 1927. The exception Is
E. E. Robinson of Kewanee, Ill, who re-
mains as consulting and operating sup

ican engineer plans to return here ir
advance of the opening date to discuss
with officials of the commiSSariat o.

of his firm for new power project.
Declaring the great hydroelectriC
plant had functioned without hitch
since the first turbine was given its
preliminary test, Col. Cooper paid trib-
ute in formal statement to the spirit
and efficiency of Russian workers ano
leaders who participated in the work.
Hope Becomes Reality.
when the Soviets accepted ouI
work today one great hope and unit in
their five-year plan became practica,
reality" he said.
Manufactured products based or
Dnieprostroy will find their way into
the homes of 160,000,0 900 people. The
partical experience in American meth.
DDS here gained by the people Of the
U. S. S. r. is lever lifting standards
of living in this country that will con
tinue to lengthen for an indefinite time
in the future.
mo intelligent person now looking
at Dnieprostroy can doubt that the U
S. S. r. can become a strong indus

ONTARIO'S STARLINGS
WRECK SANCTUARY
Washington Problem Mild by Com
parison With That Requiring
Chopping of Trees.

Washingtonians, who for years have
sought some solution to the annual
startling problem, will sympathize with
residents of Kingsville, Ontario, where
the birds have Just completed the
wreckage Of q bird sanctuary planted
by Jack Miner, Canadian naturalist.
According to a clipping from a
Kingsville paper, forwarded by a Star
subscriber. the naturalist's son, Manly
Miner, plans to cut down several thou
sand white and Scotch pines, planted
in hope of enticing the more welcome
members of the feathered tribe. The
tres have been ruined by use as con-
gregating points by thousands of the
starlings, in spite Of all that could be
done to keep the pests out. The birds
we're netted in droves, and their car
cases used to feed the unemployd, but
this seemed not to decrease their num-
berS.
In Washington. although many causes
have led to cutting trees down, the
starlings have never gone to those
extremes. They did lead Clifford Lam
ham, superintendent of trees and park
ings, to cut the tender twigs out of
the tops of score of trees, but this
device simply drove them to the lodges
of neighbcring buildings, where they
were even more unwelcome.

j. s EXPERTSSTUDy
GRAIN IN POLAND
Wheat Rust Epidemic Cause
of Concern to American
AgricuIturistS.

WARSAW Poland, August 90 (NA
N.AD-Donald S. Christy, commissioner
of the Department of Agriculture,
Washington, and j. H. Sholenberger,
grain specialist of the same department,
have been studying the present rust
epidemic in Polish wheat, and the
methods that Poland will introduce to
protect next years crops against this
pest.
The climatic conditions in Poland
are such that rust every year affects
a small percentage of the harvest.
This year, owing to a very mild Win
ter and hot Summer with abundant
rains, the disease practically ruined
the wheat in six provinces of Poland,
and in the remaining 10 many indi-
vidual farms have been infected, the
germs of rust may be carried by the
wind for hundreds of miles, and so
there is a belief that the present cpl
demic may have come from Hungary.
1t is hard to establish. as yet, the
exact dimensions of the calamity. which
will appear only after the threshing
of the entire harvest. 1t seems clear,
however, experts say. that the total
Polish wheat harvest will fall far below
the 300 900 tons, the average of the
past few years.
In view of the fact that the germ
generally survives the Winter on bar
berry bushes, the law ordering the de-
Struction of such plants will be en-
forced with severity all over the coun-
try. Furthermore, land owners will be
instructed to destroy the straw of the
wheat affected by rust before Winter.
As concerns the affected grain, the
ministry of agriculture recommends
that it be used for sowing if it is cap
able of sprouting, because experience
has shown that such grain possesses
a greater immunity against rust in fu-
ture years.
The disease has not affected rye,
which is very fortunate, rye being
Poland's main crop. Oats are slightly
affected. The stocks of grain from
former years will exclude any posi-
bility of a grain scarcity in Poland,
which will even be able to export some
of it despite the present misfortune.

First Six Months Figures for
All Makes in U. S. 40 Per
Cent From 1881.

DETROIT, Aug. 2e-Final passenger
car registration figures for the whole
country for the first six months of 1882
bring into relief three facts.

Chrysler corporation jumped from 49,
764 in 1881 to 62,956 in 1882. De Soto
sales increased from 1884 to 1929.
Other Chrysler units showed declines
Third, the worst sales slump among
major manufacturers was suffered by
the Ford Motor Co. Ford and Lin
coin passenger car registrations for
the first six months of 1891 we're 352,-
956; this year they are 116070.

Dealers in many parts of the country
are watching the experiment with used
cars that is being attempted in Seattle,
Wash. The plan of the dealers there is
to form a corporation whose sole busi-
ness shall be to appraise all cars that
come into their hands on trade-ins.
The associated dealers are to accept
the valuation without change. The plan
is designed to end the disastrous prac-
tice of allowing too much on trade-in
cars, which has the effect of reducing
prices on new cars.
There has been entirely too much
long trading" says Carl Heussey, secre-
tary of the Seattle Automobile Dealers
Association.
Plymouth has been added to the list
of automobiles on which the new super
balloon tires are available as extra
equipment, according to the announce
ment of H. G. Mock, general sales
manager for Plymouth. The Plymouth
engineering staff has spent several
months of experimentation with the
new tires and is offering several changes
other than wheel adjustments.
