MOSCOW, Feb. 10.-Mrs. Ruth
Marie Rubens Of New York, pale from
two months imprisonment, talked for
an hour and Is minutes today with
10y w. Henderson, United States
Charge d'Ahaires. but apparently was
able to impart little Of her account
Of her arrest on suspicion Of espionage.
Soviet judicial authorities were pres
ent to censor the interview. Mrs.
Rubens was permitted to answer only
questions approved by an examining
judge of the Soviet military tribunal
wearing the insignia of a brigade
commander.
Mr.. Henderson declined to tell what
took place during his visit to the grim
old Butirka prison outside Moscow
until he had made his report to the
State Department. He was accom-
panied by Angus Ward, United States
Consul. who went to interpret II neces-
sary.
1t was understood Mrs. Rubens had
to keep silent concerning details Of
her arrest. Her visitors gained the
impression she would be held in prison
for considerable time.
Interview Demanded January Is,
The long-delayed interview, formal
ly demanded by the American Gov
ernment January 18, took place In
what appeared to be the office of the
assistant warden of the prison.
Present in addition to the Ameri-
cans were the judge, a representative
OF the Soviet foreign Office and an
official who acted as interpreter.
Questions were put by Mr.. Hender-
son in English and translated for the
benefit of the judge, who then gave
or refused permission for Mrs. Rubens
to answer.
1t was understood the Judge found
Objectionable certain lines of oues-
tioning intended to draw out her de-
tailed story of her arrest here De-
cember 8, and that such points as to
whether she was served with q war
rant as provided by Soviet law had to
go unanswered.
Positively Identified.
The woman was identified positively
by Mr.. Henderson and Mr.. Ward as
the person to whom was issued valid
American passport in the name of
Ruth Marie Rubens. When arrested
she was travelling on another pass
port, not valid, as Mrs. Donald L.
Robinson"
The two American officials found
her to be the same woman with whom
they talked briefly at the National
Hotel the night OF December 8, a few
hours before her disappearance from
that hotel, two doors from the United
States Embassy.
The Donald L. Robinson" with
whom she had come to Russia in No.
vember had disappeared a week be-
fore. 1t later developed he was ar
rested as spy at Sverdlovsk in the
Ural Mountains December 2.
No Complaints Reported.
80 lar as could be learned, Mrs.
Huoens made no complaints about her
treatment.
Presumably, she was not allowed to
answer questions about her mysterious
husband. nor her story, told prior to her
arrest. that she had been told he was
IN an iron lung 1T an unnamed hospi-
tai being treated for pneumonia.
MI. Henderson and Mr.. Ward left
the prison building an hour and 20
minutes after driving through its for
bidding gateway with massive doors
OF solid steel, opened and closed by
machinery. Visitors to the prison
nave reported it virtually impregnable.

sesS.. oy CO-.ic MONKS, called Cul-
dees from Cele De, meaning Gods
comrades). These hermits appear
to have been the first inhabitants Of
Iceland, as early as the Sixth or
Seventh century, says a CORE
spondent in the Detroit News. The
tyranny Of King Harald Haarfagre
led to the settlement Of Iceland and
before many decades this island was
one of the most populous Of Morse
overseas colonies, with representa-
tive government.
Greenland was discovered prob
ably by Gunnbjorn, at the beginning
of the Tenth century, and in 932 Eric
the Red, a Norseman, sailed from
Iceland to find this land. He spent
three years on its southwest coasts
exploring the country and on his re-
turn named it Greenland in order
to make people more willing to set
tie there.

this young man in vain? Does he
really want this thing to happen
he so often speaks of? Will he
ever attempt to do the thing he did
last spring again?
Ans: Your faithfulness will not
be rewarded with the prize you so
greatly desire. Circumstances will
prevent the fulfilling of this dream.
He really doesn't care one way or
the other whether the thing he so
often speaks of actually takes
place :. he is only using this gag
as a stall. / believe he will again
repeat the act that took place in
the spring.
S. E. M: Is my wife going with
that man l suspect? How long?
Ans: Any man as jealous as you
are is enough to drive any woman
to run around. However, your wife
has not stopped to cheating on you
d. . calm your fears.
E. c.: My niece sent me money
order to pay her insurance. /
cashed it and put the money in an
envelope and gave it to the woman
of the house to pay for me to the
insurance man. She tells me there
was $500 short and that she paid
the $500 out of her pocket. Now
what l would like to know is what
became of it please?
Ans: The money was lost in the
house. 1t was found by a mem.
Der of the household. This lady is
telling you the truth as you will
find out.
M. P. D.: am reader of your
column and find that you can tell
so many people something that I
am asking you if the man that ]
have in mind will he ever be the
same as he was? l hate to give
him up but if it is best please
tell me?
Ans: l sincerely believe that it
is for the best that you give him
up. You will never be the same
as you once were nor will your
plans and dreams about the future
materialize. This man is only a
rope around your neck my ad.
vice is to turn him loose"

T. B.: Please tell me why l can't
get a job? Or keep one? Does
the boy think I am in love with
mean me any good at all?
Ans: Any person who doesn't
make any more effort to find en-
plOyment than you do deserves to
be out of a job. Jobs don't grow
ON trees and they don't serve peO-
pie jobs on silver platters. If you
want work you have got to get out
AND FIND A JOB. Write let
tiers, see people, advertise in the
paper, apply at Employment Blu
reaus, put your application in at
every place you think is a chance
for work. Your friend does think
a iOt Of you.
E. Y: Tell me what is my hus-
band doing staying out like ne
does? Will he ever stop? What
must l do? Is it an affair with a
woman?
Ans: Your husband is a great
sport and likes nothing better than
a good time. The lodge that he
belongs to feels that same way
about life and it's just one good
time after another with them. He
isn't chasing women but he is hav-
ing a little too much fun for his
own good.
A. H.: Up to the last four or
five months l have always had sew
eral boy friends but since that time
things have changed. The boys
are all friendly and l consider
them just pals but now want
someone to call me their girl
friend. How long will ! have to

Knew of Iceland Before
Colonized by Norsemen

Iceland was first colonized by
Norsemen about the year 874 A. D.,
but according to Gjersets History
of Iceland" it was known to naviga-

the year $50 B. c., reached a land
called Thule, which some have
thought to be Iceland. The only
positive knowledge of Iceland before

confidence and you will win your
way into his heart.
G. NJ. H.: If my mothers condi-
ton will improve would it be ad-
visable to make any changes in

Ans: 1t would improve your
