-In MezC York

New York-visitors in town are inclined to stare in amazement at the beauty of waitresses and cash iers, of salesgirls in the little shops around the rialto, and cigaret girls in the hotels and night spots. Nor do the visiting firemen seem disap- pointed when told that this profu- sion of pulchritude is due in con siderable measure to the fact that the chorus-girl business is in a very bad way right now. After all, it's pleasant to imagine that ones waitress, m fling in gracious acknowledgement of dime tip. has been in other days-and prob ably will be again--no more thank full for d bunch of orchids and 8 lift to the theater in Rolls Royce.
 When the prosperity follies of 1929 closed with the market crash, there were some $500 mem- bers of Chorus Equity association, including both men and women. Now there are only about 1500, and not many of those are work ing. There have been few musi- cal shows during the past season. although, fortunately, nearly all were successful. Chorines' con- tracts provide for four weeks of rehearsal with no pay, and two weeks more, if necessary, at half pay. After that amount of effort it's pretty tragic if show Hops soon after its opening. If it suc- ceeds, the minimum salary of each chorus girl is $35 a week.

To-day's Selected Poem
CASCADES OF THE sIERRAs
Grace Clementine Howes in the Christian

(Grace Clementine Howes in the Christian
 Science Monitorl Why are these waters So mad to reach the sunset? Leaping from the dawn, Cleaving space Like white winged valkyries, Down, down, With a song, a shout. Reverberant in the gorge, Angry in the canyon, Lyrical in the forest, Laughing in the sunlight, Pausing to rest their wings In some sky-refiecting pool That holds their mother cloud in its bosom Then slpping-sliding, Rushing to the rim-rock Cleaving space, Down, down, With a wild. strange song And a view halloo To the sea, The serpent -colored sea. Why are these waters So mad to reach the sunset?

Debs In Demand.

In general, though, life seems to be getting pretty difficult for pro- fessional models, and semipros such as chorus girls. The swanky shops and the magazine advertis- CTS are going in for names and more names, of society women. AL so it's a fact that debs do know how to wear clothes, and how to set off costly jewels with the right degree of matter-of-factness.
 Most successful of the society models this year seem to be Mary Taylor, Lucille Brokow, Georgette Whelan and Renee Oakman Hub bell-all social registerites. Miss Taylor. the daughter of Bertram Taylor, IT,, and Mrs Francis Mc- Adoo, is. except for a definitely snooty look, the prettiest. Others who pose for ads now and then are Mimi Richardson, Marianne Van Rensselaer, and Eleanor Barry.

LABOR LAW REVISION
(Hartford Courant)


 Among major issues that the General Assembly has left for de- cision to the last days of the ses- sion are almost all the bills em- bodying revision of the present labor standards prescribed by stat ute. The committee hearings in March demonstrated wide. and strong popular interest in this question. The last years revela- tions of sweatshop conditions within the state, the long weeks work of a few contrasted with great unemployment, the handi- caps of insufficient funds and authority under which the labor commission funds have all com bined to focus public attention on the inadequacy of the law to meet present conditions.
 To argue that upturn in business makes changes now unnecessary is to refuse aid in making that up- turn lasting and general. Since

RUSSIA ANO ELECTRICITY

In his column TODAY" in .
recent issue of The Phoenix
Gazette, Arthur Brisbane makes
significant comment of interest
to Arizona. Brisbane says that
Stain, dictator of Soviet Russia,
evidently intends to skip the
steam age in development of
that great country and go direct.
ly to the age of universal cleo.
trical equipment. This would
result iu a tremendous demand
for copper. the metal 10 which
Arizona is vitality Interested. In
that case recognition Of the far
distant Soviet state may have
direct effect 90 prosperity for
Arizona mines and cities.
Russia has been pushing it's
electrical program at q tremeud
Gus pace. Already it produces
Eve billion kilowatt hours Of
electric power. It is announced
this will be increased to % bill
lions. There is nothing impos-
sible about this program since
Russia has 6 number Of the most
enormous hydro.electric plants
in the world and is constructing
more. Russia is now on second
of its five year plans" It had
to build from the ground up, for
it always had been an agricul-
tural country and Transforming
it into an Industrial one is one of
the most tremendous tasks ever
attempted by man. Naturally
there we're delays and failures.
This was the more to be expect.
ed since Russia started with few
artisans or skilled engineers.
But recent reports from shat
country indicate that amazing
progress is being made.
This tremendous electrical de
velopment program will mean
use of hundreds of millions of
pounds Of copper. Russia's trade
is all directed by the govern
ment. As long as the United
States did not recognize the
Soviet there was little hope of
getting much of this trade. But
recognition was taken as an ia
dication of . friendly spirit on
the part of the United States and
is likely to be q big factor in
securing copper orders, 4 field
in which we must meet African
aud South American competition.
But it ia a field of such extent
and possibilities that Arizona
may find trade with Russia q
great factor in reopening our
copper mines.
Opponents Of recognition claim
that when Russia becomes indus
trially developed it will not buy
of the United States, but will be
. formidable competitor. Per
haps so. But Russians are not
different from other people.
They want motors, typewriters,
thousands of things America pro
duces in volume. Thus far they
have not bought them because
they did not have the money. A
prosperous Russia might become
our best customer and be big

nomic conditions.-P b o Q q K

Director Pontus Fl. Ross of the

of the University of Arizona.
The rate at which these pay

A double check is necessary

Contracts to reduce acreage,
and the benefit payments in com

Farmers ia more than 1900

that they control over "a million

Professor Walter S. Cunning
ham, bead Of the department of
dairy husbandry at the Univer
sity Of Arizona, announced today
that q number of cows on the
University Farm were making a
splendid record in production OF
milk and butterfat. There are
eleven Holstein cows on the
farm. several of which are out
standing in production. Ooe OF
these has just completed a rec
ord of 653 pounds of butterfat
in q year, q figure which is con.
sidered exceptional for Holsteins.
The farm also includes ten Jer
seys, five of which will produce
over 600 pounds of butterfat dur
ing the present year. and one
two-year-old Guernsey heifer
which is milking at the rate of
over so pounds of milk q day.
Cattle on the University farm
are cared for under what are con
sidered the most ideal conditions
for high production and all
around efficiency. By expert
menting on these cows with the
various methods of feeding and
care, conclusions are drawn from
results as to the most desirable
methods. From time to time

 Previously his motion asked that the referee s report be accepted.
