PAGE THREB SOVIET DRAWING FROMJIZENS Exchange of Best Quality Food and Merchandise for Golden Valuables More Efficacious Than Laws MOSCOW. (AP) By exchanging lta beat export quality food and mer chandise for hoarded valuables, the soviet government has found a way to get gold which In the past It could not obtain by force. In previous years. It was a orlme for any soviet citizen to have gold In his possession, particularly roubles of the czarlst regime. But many per sons, especially peasants, hid their precious metals. Torgsin" Magls Word Faced In recent months with In creasing demands for gold with which to meet foreign obligations, the government threw open the doors of "TorgBln" to all owners of the yel low metal. Torgsln' Is a chain of stores In which the best of soviet food sup , plies and manufactured articles are sold to foreigners only. Here, prices are on a par with those In other countries and often lower than those charged for Inferior merchandise In stores operated for soviet citizens. Heretofore, Russians were not per mitted to use "Torgsin." stores be cause the law prohibited them from owning foreign money and they therefore, theoretically, lacked means y to buy there. Keep Scales Busy The situation now, however. Is dif ferent. They are encouraged to trade in "Torgsln" provided they exchange gold coins or Jewelry for credit there. A special office has been opened be fore which long lines of persona stand awaiting their turn to trade In valu ables. Eight assajers weigh the bracelets, chains, crosses, rings and other knlck Backs and Issue credits good for wearing apparel not to be had In other stores, or food delicacies such as ham, sausage, cheese, eggs, butter and white bread. One gram of gold brings 73 go pecks (about 47 cents) and the total Is entered in a book entitling the seller to spend that much In doubles In "Torgsln.H Wide Prices Range A comparison of prices In "Torg sln," the "open' stores where any one can buy, and tfte "closed," or ration shops where only those with ration cards may trade, shows a wide variation. Butter costs 82 cents a pound In Torgsln," $4 In the open stores and j .eggs bring 30 cents In "Torgsin," 4 $1.50 In the open and 80 cents In the ration stores; a pair of shoes 95 In "Torgsln," $25 in the commercial tores and $15 in the ration stores. WAY TO UTILIZE HYDROGEN FUEL BERLIN. (AP) Karl Erren, an au tomotive engineer, has revived the hydrogen fuel idea with a specially designed motor. Hydrogen can be obtained from water by a rather simple electrical decomposition. Engineers have played with this fact for years with out ever getting a hydrogen plant to produce cheaply enough to com pete with gasoline. Erren proposes some accessories to bridge this difference In cost. First, he says, the electric power plants of the great cities have let their ex pensive machinery lie Idle much of the time because of the "peak load" situation. A city wants a big supply of eleo trlclty at certain hours of the day and comparatively little at other times. The power plant has to be big enough to supply these "peak" hours. The Idle time Erren would use for decomposing water Into hydrogen to be sold as motor fuel. Oxygen he points out. Is now a valuable by-pro- duct of such decomposition. Whether there would still be a market for oxy gen In larger quantities remains to be seen. Erren asserts that nitrogen can be collected froin the exhaust of a hy drogen motor. ' He claims that mixing small amount of hydrogen with gasoline lowers considerably the gaso - line consumption of a standard mo tor. Finally he says equally good j savings are effected by mixing hydro- gen with crude oil and dlesel motor fuels. Erren was a flyer at the western front In the world war. 'COALER' DISCARDED LONDON. (JP) Despite agita tion against "Yankee Isms" In the movies and common speech, Amer loanlsatlon of English words proceeds. At the newly decorated Westmin ster police court a door In the vesti bule bears the word "Jailer," prob ably the only public place in Eng land where this spelling appears. "Goaler" has been the accepted English version for centuries, but students say that "Jailer" was In wide use here In the middle ages. Portland.

(AP) Once the world's fourth naval power, Brazil is going to modernize Its present 30-year-old fleet under a financial scheme which the government be lieves will not drain the treasury. Provisional President Getullo Var gas decreed creation of a building fund 'of $43,500,000, to be made up In 13 annual Installments, starting tn 1933. The money will come from naval budget economies, port fines, harbor fees, a tax on lotteries and contributions. Merchant Marine Large Brazil as an empire had one of the world's most powerful navies, but Its only ambition now Is a small, but efficient fleet compatible with its more than 5000 miles of coastline and Its large merchant marine, says Ad miral Protogenes Gulmaraes, minister of marine. The navy now has a tonnage of 60,000. The merchant marine totals 440.000 tons and Is the largest In South America. The present Brazilian fleet Includes two small battleships, 33 years old; two 3500-ton cruisers, 33 years old; 10 destroyers, 33 years old; three small submarines, 13 years old; and one modern submarine, built In Italy In 1929. Scrap Heap Looms Admiral Gulmaraes said most of these ships will be scrapped or rele gated to the reserve for training pur poses. In their stead will be built eight or nine torpedo boats, half a dozen submarines, two small cruisers and some supply vessels. EN ROUTE SOUTH Prink G.

FROM WAIST OF VATICAN CITY (AP) The Venu of the Vatican has lost the bronsa skirt she wore for 125 years. The famous statue, nearly 2000 years old, now stands fully revealed to visitors. The marble life-size figure known as the Gnidlan Venus, an early Roman copy of a work by tha immortal Greek sculptor Praxiteles. When It was brought to the Vati can galleries more than a century ago the then pope commissioned th Danish sculptor, Albert Thorwatd sen, to mould bronze draperies to cover the lowrr half of the statue- down to the feet. From then until a few days ago the masterpiece occupied one of toe most prominent points In the Vatt can galleries at the head of th step near the entrance, to the Etruscan museum. This position was similar to that assigned to the Venus dl Mllo In the Louvre ma- seum at Paris. Here millions of tourists hava viewed the goddess of love most mmifently garbed. Many of them, however, puzzled over what seemed a garment of painted tin. Artists and sculptors for genera tlons have complained bitterly against the bronze clothing. Finally their pleas were successful. Nothing was said about It, but one day re cently the skirt was taken away. But, her skirt gone, the beautiful goddess lost her prominent position. She now presides over a small room called the "Cabinet of the Masks. because of a mosaic taken front Hadrian's Villa, depleting Greek masks and fitted Into the center of the floor. The Vatican gallery authorities, however, have made another con cession. They have taken from th storeroom a group of Praxiteles, "The Three Graces," half-life-slB. and placed It alongside the Gnidlan Venus. This Is composed of three nudes.
