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.

'in Sea Power Planning
Comeback With Modern
Coast Guard Fleet
RIO DE JANEIRO. (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.

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.

the floor.
The Vatican gallery authorities,
however, have made another con
cession. They have taken from th
storeroom a group of Praxiteles,

and placed It alongside the Gnidlan
Venus. This Is composed of three
