To an Associated Press correspon- dent Zensky related recently the dif-| ficulties of being a hermit during a revolution, and spoke of his adven- tures during the numerous changes of regimes and the famine year in| the Crimea. “The famine here was very acute,” he said, “The,land had been devas- tated by civil war and numerous ris- s.

Segeyeff Zensky is one of the few Russian writers who stayed’ in Russia all through, the years of re- volution and civil war.

These taxes made business impossible for shop- keepers; for importers and exporters alike.” Harvest prospects in South Rus: are excellent, according to Mr, Lani = who said that nobody in Rus < should go hungry this winter.

Consolidation may be effected in the futdre; cars are needed now. Among various proposals for re- lieving railroad congestion and securing greater loaded car mileage from freight car equipment, the central car pooling’ plan has at- tracted most attention. In discussing this plan in his Kansas City speech, President Harding said: “The Pullman Company fairly il- lustrates what is meant. This great corporation prcenes most of the railroads with certain kinds of cars on a rental basis. game idea to the provisions of freight cars, you have a rough no- tion of the proposed car pool. It is urged by its sadyoc:wes that it would unify the rolling stock or- ganization; make possible the en- listment of adequate capital to pro- vide for the weak and strong roads alike; place the entire organization under a single centralizing control which would secure equity to all wads and sections.” The car pooling proposal has been advanced by the Association of Owners of Railroad Securities, of which S. Davies Warfield of Baltimore is President. The asso- iciation contends that all of the ad- iantages that can be obtained by ans of compulsory railroad con- Fas pot can be secured through ar_pooling. The present system of car man- fagement is admittedly wastefaty ‘The rules requice the return of a from Wolfe asking employment in Patagonia as an anthropological re searcher.

SURVIVOR OF TRAGIC ALPINE CLIMBERS DIES Was Member of Party Which Climbed Matterhorn 58 Years Ago Zermatt, Sept. 10.—The recent death of Peter Taugwaider has rob- bed Switzerland of its most famous Nation Wide Interes G Alpine climber, and the last survivor of the party which climbed the Mat- terhorn for the first time 58 years ago, at the cost of six lives. Only three out of a total party of made the first ascent of the previous- ly unsealed Matterhorn, These were Peter Taugwalder and hrs gon and Ed- ward Whymper, a fameus British Al- pinist who organized the party. Whymper and the younger Taug- ‘walder have been years, but Peter 1 make over 12 8 tain on which he miraculously escap- ed death when his seven companions plunged over a cllff to the Matter- horn glacier 4,000 feet below, The body of Lord Douglas, who was among the Englishmen who wert lost, was never found, and probably caught on a crag high on the moun- tain side where it could not be seen. Edward Whymper wrote a book about the tragedy which occurred after the plucky climbers had been on the feak for an :our and had started on their downward trip. He and the two Taugwalders were saved by the snapping of a rope which bound them to the other members of the party. One of the British mem- bers of the party, who was next to the guide leading the way, slipped and knocked the leader over with such force that they dragged the other members of the party down with them. The weight and strain on the rope became so great that in snapping it left the three last mem- bers of the party safe on the moun. tainside, where they couid see the bodies of their companions on the glacier far below them. For a time the survivors thought it would be impossible for them to continue the descent. They were unnerved by the accident, but finally aroused them- selves to action and tied their ropes to rocks in such a manner that they were able to pass the dangeroys stretches with a feeling of security, The victims of the tragedy were alb buried in the Zermat: churchyard, and Peter Taugwalder now lies with his companions, ugwalder lived to Mexico To Modif: Laws on Expulsion x Mexico City, Sept. 10.—Foreigners in‘\Mexico view With «ixeq feelings the proposal of a group of congrés! men to reform Article 33 of the con stitution.

WOULD SAVE TIME| Declares Present. Way of Spelling Results in Great Economic, Waste Boston, Sept. 8—A movement to! have the spelling of the English by ®ngineers cooperating with phila- logists has been started, A resolu- tion favoring systematic standardi- zation flas been approved by the Bos- ton Chapter, Society of Industrial . Engineers and the recommendation is now on its way around the coun- try to be submitted to other cha ters of the assoctation for indorse- ment. Dr. Frank 8, Gilbreth, a consulting engineer of Montelair, N. J., in urg- ing the indorsement -of the plan here asserted that'the present mode of | spelling is productive of enormous! preventable economic *aste, With| an improved, efficient system of standardized spelling, ~ 200,000,000 pupil-years would be saved every generation, he estimated. The sav- ing in time ‘to’ students, however, would be only one of the benefits, he said, declaring that the increased speed and fluency which” would fol- low the elimination of uncertainty, and hesitation would result in much time-saving in business. | Additional benefits would immedi-| ately folloy, Dr. Gilbreth said, “Start with standardized spelling and the)’ 7 ment statutes containing tue obliga-| dcbts and mortgages®with the mark sent value. England seems to be in fairly good shape,” Mr. Stern standardizing of other things will} come naturaJly in sequence.” The relation of the engineer to the pro-| blem is obvious, he held. “Standardization is naturally the work of thd engineer and he should assist the philologists to reform spelling standards because he has new units, methods and devices for measuring that are particularly im- portant in evaluating, present and proposed spellings for standardiza- tion. Because spelling will be use by countless generations, the pregent absurd standards of spelling should be reformed once and for all by mea- surement. Spelling should be super- standardized. It behooves the en- gineering profession to lead the way, show the method and go to the limit to find the one best way to do work and to standardize the elements of things and methods that will permit the greatest savings of time and the acquiring of the greatest quantities | of thé°durable satisfactions of life,” Dr. Gilbreth said, Somé engineérs are already mem- bers of the Simplified Spelling Board, Dr. Gilbreth pointed out. He assert- ed that modern scientific methods, if applied to the question, would de- teet all forms of mental hesitation and waste motion in writing 'and in typewriter operation. This step, he believes, will be the real beginning of a’ standardization of everything else.
