BOULDER DAM
 WORK STARTED
Low Level of Colorado 2 River Speeds Up States
 Project

Las Vegas, Nev-(UP)-one- fifth of Boulder dam, government reclamation project for five states, has been completed with pouring of about 20 per cent of the 3,400,- 900 cubic yards of concrete.
 During October, the 3,200 em- p1oyes of the Six Companies, Inc. builders of the dam, poured 205,- 900 cubic yards of mix, an average of 6,600 yards daily, seven days a week, in thre shifts each 24 hours.
 In December, the Six Companies will have received three-quarters of the $48,890,955.50 which the federal government is paying for the building of the structure on the Colorado river.
 Work on the 3O-foot penstock pipe will be started soon. Most of the smaller penstocks have been completed. In the construction of pipes to carry the water from the dam to power plants and irriga- ton projects, more than 1000 tons of steel have been received at the fabrication plant here.
 A total of 4,100 persons is em- ployed on the entire project. At the actual dam construction 3,2O0 men are employed by the Six Com- panies. Babcock and Wilcox are using 169, the Boulder City com pany 112. Anderson Brothers, 102, and premittees at various jobs arc estimated at 200 persons.
 In addition to work on the dam proper and the steel pipes, the driving of penstock tunnels has continued and has reached the stage where concrete is being poured on the Nevada spillway.

AIR HOSTESSES
 MAINTAIN DIET
Registered Nurses Given Advice on Retaining
 Trim Figures

Chicago (UP)-Here is some ex- pert advice on how to retain trim figure, by hostesses on. American Airways planes. For two reasons, these young women should be au- thorities. First, they must main- tain their weight at or under a maximum of 118 pounds; secondly, | all are registered nurses. In answer to recent question naire, all of the girls agreed that semi-starvation and grueling ex- ercises were unnecessary in order to keep weight down. Excerpts from a few of the answers fol- low.
 Adhere to well-balanced diet, free from starches such as pota- toes, breads and sweets"
 Orange juice, grape fruit or pineapple for breakfast, and whatever I want for the other | meals"
 "Hands overhead, then to toes, 50 times. morning and night, and never a worry about my bill of fare."
 Exercise by radio every morn- ing, and stick to leafy green veg etables. so far as possible
 Many of the girls added that their measures against evcess avoirdupois also promoted tip-top physical condition.

NEW CRIME CURB
 PLAN EFFECTIVE
Chicago Judges Use Own Method With DeIin.
 quent Boys

Chicago, (UP)-A new method of curbing crime among youths, be- ing experimented in by the boys division of the municipal court here, has attracted attention all over the country.
 Judges John Gutknecht and Lambert K. Hayes have conducted their court on the principle of giving a delinquent boy a chance to think after having suffered suf- ficient punishment.
 The formula used is as follows: no grand jury save in extreme cases: some jail for all real offend- CTS, rather than mere disorderly conduct; supervision while under a suspended sentence and no per- manent record for the boy unless he repeats. &
 Under these rules, records show, a vast improvement in the youthful crime situation has been made.
 Of 2,S86 boys chosen at random who were brought before the court from Jan 1 to Sept 30, 1888, 1.033 were discharged; 440 had their charged changed from felony to misdemeanor, and after some jail time the boys were put under su- pervision: 894 originally charged misdemeanor were put under su- pervision, usually after some jail time; 174 were given flat jail sen- tences, and 345 boys were sent to the grand jury.

Chicago, Dec 6. (UP)-Draft horses which occupied a position of great prominence at the first Inter- national Livestock Exposition 34 years ago, but in the succeeding years were relegated to a minor place stage comeback this year with bigger exhibit than at any time in the past decade.
 Entries of these great horses ex- ceeded last years record, which was higher than any year since the early twenties. Dealers and breed CTS who had found their exhibits treated with comparative apathy, last year suddenly found them to be ono of the most popular show features. As 8 result, in this years show the draft horse occupies a! prominent place.
 Perhaps the draft horse exhibit which evokes the most interest is of six-horse teams. The sight of these attached to a vehicle lum- bering up the street loaded high with beer kegs was a common sight at the turn of the century. Nine of these big hitches are shown.
 The renewed interest in draft horses is directly due to the de- pression. Farmers find it cheaper to use horses than tractors as they can raise the feed for the horse, whereas they have to buy gasoline.
 A survey made recently by the University of Minnesota reveals that receipts of horses and mules in public stockyards has increased

Close All Loopholes
 In Federal Tax Laws
HOdse Ways and Means Subcommittee Makes Sug'
 gestiOn-WOuld Increase U. s. Revenue 37,OOO,OOO

washington, Dec. c = (UP) = Additional tightening of federal tax laws to close all loopholes through which payments are being avoided, was recommended today by a house ways and means subcommit- tee.
 The new proposed changes, in- cluding taxes on property transfers between members of a family for tax avoidance purposes. were esti- mated by the subcommittee as likely to increase federal revenue by $S5,000. 900 annually.
 The group, in a partial report yesterday to the full committee, urged other changes which would increase revenues by $237,0O0,OO0 a year.
 The new proposals recommended today included:
 Prohibition of. deduction of esti- mate inheritance and gift taxes for income tax purposes.
 Prohibition of deductions for tax purposes by domestic corporations for dividends received from for eign corporations.
 Denial of losses in case of sale or property exchanges between members of family for tax avoid ance purposes.
 Recommendation that corpora ton earnings or profits in the form of liquidating dividends be treat ed as sales of stocks. The sub- committee said that "stock hold CTS to escape surtaxes" use this menas of tax avoidance.
 Recommendation that corpora tions be required to file informa- ton returns as to dividends in ex- cess of $1,000 paid to any indivi- dual.
 In proposing disallowance of losses due to property exchanges between members of Q family, the committee said, many instances have been brought to light where transactions have taken place for the sole purpose of taking loss for income tax purposes"
 The subcommittee also recom- mended limitation on income tax deductions permitted for losses from legalized gambling. The proposed limitatoin would force taxpayers to report their gambling gains if they desire to deduce their gamb- ling losses. f
 Concluding it's 24-page report, assembled after months of study of methods of preventing evasion of internal revenue laws, the com mittee said:
 "We are of the opinion that if the changes proposed are adopted, the income tax burden will be more fairly borne by all taxpayers with very few opportunities of es- cape therefrom by legal avoidance. The sooner all persons pay their full share of income taxes, the sooner some relief in the existing tax burden may be expected"

Vancouver. E. C.-UP)-Mining is coming to the fore among Cana da's demunerative occupations.
 Mining of gold leads the activ- ity. Added impetus was given the ''rushes" by the announcement the United States had set new prices on the metal and would purchase large quantities.
 In British Columbia the gross value of mineral production for a period in 1883 showed a facorable increase oyer 1892. Gold produced this year showed a 22 per cent in- crease.
 The activit, however. isn't con fined to gold alone. Nickel, copper, tungsten, asbestos, silver and other metals not so easily found arc be- ing mined with greater rapidity.

Machinery and Metals VIII
Lead American Sales
to SoVietS.
BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS
Scripps- Howard Foreign Editor

WASHINGTON, July 10-N ew
sales of American products to Rus
STA amounting to hundreds OF mil
lions of dollars are in the off1ng.
following the official 70-000-oale
cotton deal to be cOnsummated this
month by actual shipments.
The Soviet Union is in the mar
ket for S400.OOO,00 worth of ma
chinery: 5000 100000 worth of fer
rous metals: S100000000 worth of
rubber products, textiles and leather
goods; S50,000000 worth of ships.
and other purchases
In addition Russia has a railway
expansion program surprising, by
far, anything of the kind since the
United States was pushing its net
work across the territory west of the
Mississippi. She will be in the mar
ket for locomotives, electrical equip
ment, rolling stock and technicians.
Wants Railway Goods
Russia admits to strong prefer
ence for American machinery and
railway material She likes Ameri-
can methods. Given the chance,
she has announced repeatedly, she
stands ready to spend huge sums OF
money in this country. In 1929 we
sold her $114,000000 worth of goods,
mostly machinery and other prod
ucts of American labor.
Last year Russia's import from
the United States had slumped fully
90 per cent. The reason was the
lack of proper methods of financing.
Lack of recognition made the usual
banking practices impractical and
other channels proved too costly.
American manufacturers forced to
finance themselves if they traded
with Russia and extended the usual
two or three year credit terms, Of
ten had to convert their Russian
acceptances at from 20 to 40 per
cent discount, despite the fact that
Russia never has defaulted on a
pennys worth of this paper.
No Legal Standing
The unusual nature of the BUSH
ness-buSineSS with a nation which
had no legal standing in the United
States because recognition never
had been eXtended-waS what made
the difference.
AS the bottom dropped out Of
RuSSo-American commerce, due to
this situation, Russia'S trade of
Germany and other European ma
tions grew enormously. On money
borrowed in the United States, Ger
many financed SIS, 100000 worth of
exports to Russia in one year.
