SEEN and HEARD
around the
National Capital
By CARTER FIELD

Washington he returns to
Russia Ambassador William G. Bullitt
hopes to have arranged credits for the
Soviet republic amounting to a great
many millions. He has been busy with
negotiations with group of important
industrialIsts and bankers with q view
to setting up bank for export
Under the plan being discussed the
industrinlists would put up the first
five million dollars. The next twenty
five millions would be subscribed by
the Reconstruction Finance corpora
ton. Additional capital, 1t Is proposed,
would be provided by the banks SELL
Ing debentures. which 1t Is Manned
that the government, through the
Reconstruction Finance corporation,
should purchase.
In other words, the industrialists
who want to sell goods to Russia
would put up the original five millions,
and the government would put up as
many more millions as might be found
necessary.
Under the scheme as proposed By a
committee working on the subject,
Russia would not be the only country
TO which exports from the United
States would be financed. 1t would
apply to all countries. The bank
would take over the loans to the nur-
chasers of American materials and
hold them until liquidated.
While the chief talk was about IN
termediate credits" the scheme Is for
the bank to make long-term loans also
In such cases as 1t may be found de.
sirable. AS this is written the plan
has not leaked out on Capitol I'LL
where there will be plenty of talk
when the details are learned.
The administration Is deeply inter
ested because 1t Is naturally most anx
ious that the manufacturers willing te
sell to Russia and other countries shall
be encouraged to do SO. Some very
high government officials feel tha1
while the treasury will be taking Z
considerable risk, the money SO risket
Will provide just as much employment
per dollar as a great deal Of the gov
ment money being spent on public
works, aid to state works, and othe1
activities Inaugurated solely to provide
Jobs.
On one point legislation will be nee
essary, so the national legislators vii
have plenty of opportunity to expires
themselves. That Is on the proposes
sale of additional debentures to tn
Reconstruction Finance corporation
Under the present legal authority Q
RECONSTRUCTION Finance corporation
such debentures could not be pun
chased. 1t would require an amend
ment to the act to permit such pui
chases, and. II the plan Is approved
this will be asked Of congress BY tn
administration.
So far the proposal Is only In the cor
ference stage, with Bullitt the officif
most interested. though Acting Secrs
tary of State Phillips and George !
Peek, late Of the Agricultural Adjus
ment administration but now workin
under the Presidents direction
evolve some plan for boosting agricu
tural exports, are also interested.

NEWSPAPERS LEAD

Results Of survey conducted by the
National Recreation Society, to ascertain
the most popular diversion for leisure
hours, is particularly interesting to the
newspapers of the country, as, out of
5,002 persons who answered the society's
QUESTIONABLE 3,977 listed newspaper and
magazine reading as their favorite pas
time.
Despite all the inroads which a high
powered modern life has brought to us IN
the last two decades, the newspaper re-
tains its hold in the family circle and not
even the radio has been able to supplant
it in home interest.
The survey covered % cities, mostly in
the eastern section of the country. 1t
may we'll be taken as a cross-Section view
of the entire country, for there is not
great deal of difference in the likes and
dislikes of people, considered on broad
general grounds.
1t is not surprising to learn that news
papers have such hold on the public.
1t has been so from the earliest days, and
newspapers are still the most dependable
source from which to derive information
about ones community, the nation, and
the world at large.
The newspaper has its attractions for
varied tastes-the housewife is primarily
interested in society news and in the ad-
vertising columns, though she also reads
the general news; the man of the house
is attracted by the sports page, the stock
report and general news; while the
youngsters have their needs supplied
through special features for them and in
the comic strips. For those of school age,
the newspaper goes hand in hand with
their education. These statements also are
made on broad, general terms.
The newspaper enters the family cir
Gle and awaits the convenience of those
who want it. 1t is ready at once or it can
be laid aside until necessary tasks are
completed and there is chance for leis-
ure. The reader may read what he wish
es to read, and pass over that which does
not interest him.
His interest Is not going to be inter-
rupted by high pressure talk on the
merits of something which has no appeal
for him, and if it should be interrupted
by circumstances, he may resume when
the opportunity presents-his paper is
still there, waiting for him.
The newspaper not only offers news,
but information ANY merchant would
be happy to be able to have one of his
salesmen enter several thousand homes
in his buying area each day to explain
what he has to offer. Such an opportun-
ity is presented him through the adver
tising columns of his home town paper.
1t is admitted to the inner circle of the
family and the merchant is given the op-
portunity to present his sales talk with
out interruption. How we'll he presents
it, depends entirely upon him and the CO.
operation he gets from the newspaper.

he wiped the snow off Baby Bunty's
little pink nose. 1t was soft
SNOWFALL and didn't hurt her at
all.
Then the children hoped along
to recite their lessons to the Lady
Mouse Teacher in the Hollow Stump
School, and Uncle Wiggily, having
finished his breakfast, put on his
warm fur coat and hoped out into
the storm.
THE snow isn't as deep as I
thought it was.'' he said, as he
found that the white flakes only
came up to his ankles. 81 can
easily make my way through this
storm.
He was hopping along when, just
ahead of him, he saw Mrs. Twisty-
tail, the fat lady pig.
"Where are you going in the
snow, Mrs. Twistytail?' asked the
bunny.
81 am going to the drug store
to get some medicine for my hus-
band,o she squealed. "He has a
cough and a cold and he has to
stay in the house,
"Oh, then he must be lonesome, -
said Mr. Longears. 'I1l hop over
and visit him. I'll sit and talk
with him until you come back from
from the drug store.
"That will be fine" said the
lady pig. "Twisty will like that. -
Indeed, Mr.. Twistytail was very
glad to see Uncle Wiggily. The pig
gentleman wasn't i'll enough to be
in bed. He was sitting in his easy
chair, wishing for company when
along came Uncle Wiggily.
"Play a game of checkers with
me, Wiggy!" squeaked the pig
gentleman.
"Surely, I will" said Uncle Wig
gily. So the two played checkers
and all the while the snow was
falling outside. And by the time
Mrs. Twistytail came home with
her husbands cough medicine the
ground was thickly covered with the
white flakes.
"I'm afraid you can't get home,
Uncle Wiggily," grunted the pig
lady. 1.-The snow is very deep. 1t
is getting deeper all the while
You will have to stay here with us
until the storm stops"
"Oh, dear me! The snow is
deep!o said the rabbit, looking out
of the window. "What am to
do? My wife won't know where
am" And what the bunny gen
tleman did will be told in the next
story. which will be about Uncle
Wiggily's snow shoes. But please

to the milk bottle and make it look

UNCLE WIGGILY IN DEEP SNOW

"Well,' said Nurse Jane Fuzzy
Wuzzy one morning as she came
downstairs in the Hollow Stump
Bungalow to start getting break
fast, 'you can't go adventuring
today, Uncle Wiggily.'
"Why not?' asked the rabbit
gentleman, who was up almost as
early as his muskrat lady house
keeper. "Why can't go adventur-
ing?'
"Take a look out of the dining
room window answered Nurse
Jane.
Mr.. Longears did so, having failed
to look out of his bedroom window
as he was dressing. And now, from
the dining room, he saw that the
ground outside was covered with
snow. And, what is more, the white
flakes were still falling from the
sky.
"You can't go out in this storm, -
went on Miss Fuzzy Wuzzy. "The
snow is too deep.'
"Far be it from me to differ
from you, Nurse Jane,' said Mr..
Longears with a smile that made
his pink nose twinkle, 'but I have

VALLEY VISIT
ENJOYED BY
CCC GROUP

Delighted with the hospitality ex-
tended to them by Ell Centro, 40
members of the CCC camp at Ly-
ons valley returned home last night
singing the praises of this city.
Yesterday the men, who were in
charge of Captain Move, of the U.
S. army, visited the mudpots and
Salton sea. ALI of them are from
Ohio, and their first encounter with
the desert country was most inter-
esting to them, Captain Move said.
Saturday night they were guests
at the American Legion dance In
Veterans Memorial hall, and were
also admitted to the Valley theatre
through the courtesy of Manager
Frank Rector
During their stay here the men
were quartered in the building for
transients on Broadway and were
loud in their praise of the food and
quarters assigned to them.
John jenkins, of this city, forest
ranger at Lyons valley, accompanied
the men on their visit here.

thor himself became weary, so that
he even sought refuge for a time in
the then-despised but clean-cut
old-fogyism of Stuart P. Sherman.
And as part of the same reaction
he yearned for, and fin
ally found, help-mate who was
more interested in cookery and ba-
bies than in cubism and Soviet &C.
Panorama
1t is this latter part of the book
which, to the reviewer, seems most
valuable and interesting. The au-
thor's youthful and adult adven-
lures in Socialism, his experiences
as factory hand, his tentative love
affairs-including a not unusual
prediction for blue-eyed blondes
have a certain human interest, but
are not particularly noteworthy or
instructive otherwise, apart from
the 'psychologising' of Dell's own
character.
But beyond all this there is a
lively and diversified panorama OF
American cultural life through a
period of unusual interest, and a
come -and-go and hundred intimate
glimpses of men like Dresser, Sher-
wood Anderson, Vachel Lindsey,
Carl Sandburg, and scores of 9TH
ers, which makes the account not
only thoroughly readable, but an
important literary document as well.
On the whole, it is a distinguished
piece of work, and one which should
reduce the age of consent for auto
biographers, in similar cases at any
rate, by at least the necessary de-
cade and half.
Note Mr.. Layne was formerly
head of the English department OF
Illinois Wesleyan college, and is
the author of numerous critical es-
says published in leading maga-
zines during the past is years.

HOW ABOUT YOUR CARP

This being survey" day. we quote the
results of one made on automobiles by
the National Bureau of Casualty and
Surety Underwriters, which presents
startling information for the automobile
owner.
Examining 22,7O2,OOO automobiles in
az states, the report of the survey shows
that IS per cent have defects which in
crease the hazards of driving.
The report shows that Al per cent of
the windshield wipers were not in work
ing order, certainly serious hazard in
rainy weather; 81 per cent of the steer
ing mechanisms were not functioning
properly; and 1913 per cent of the brakes
were defective.
1t is assumed that most of the cars in
spected had been in operation for several
months at least. The results of the sur
vey indicate that their owners were lax
in taking care of defects, which while
small in themselves, become serious when
an emergency arises.
In other words, the report is not re-
Election upon car manufacturers, but is
serious indictment of the driving public.
There appears to be fertile field for
the automobile repairman judging from
the report. 1t also indicates that the
great majority of the driving public is
willing to take a chance" rather than to
take little time and spend little money
to be on the safe side.
How many of these Slight defects"
are responsible for serious accidents, is
problematical That many of them are
the cause of accidents is not to be disput-
ed
If the car owner has no consideration
for the lives of others, he should at least
be solicitous for his own safety and see
that his car is in proper mechanical or
