Occidental Modes Invade Ancient City Backchisarai, Crimea, March 1.— (AP)—Backchisarai, the city of 65 fountains and innumerable gardens, once the Mohammedan capital of the Crimean horde and the seat of the Crimean sultans, is rapidly losing its ancient Eastern aspect. Of 2,000 women living in the city, only two, it is said, are wearing the veil and carefully avoiding strangers. A hundred Mullahs, or Moslem priests, are reported to be without occupation and from only two of the 40 mosques may be heard the voice of the Mullah summoning his fol- lowers to evening prayer. | The population of the city is rap- idly decreasing. From 25,000 in 1914 it has dropped to 9,000 in 1927. The Mohammedan school built by the great Crimean sultan Mengli- Girey - Khan in 1,500 still remains, end to penetrate it the visitor, after “~ hia chaes at the threshold, must bend his head low, for the c.ain placed there by the tal despot 427 years ago still hares across the portal. i The influence of modern civiliza- tion is apparent. Electricity is in use everywhere in the small flat- , roofed houses built of white Crimean stone, and movie posters often em- hellish the walls: of old Mohamme- dan homes. Indoor Planetarium Planned For Chicago Chicago, March 1.—(AP)—Con- struction of a “planetarium,” where the heavens will be reproduced by means of moving lights on a huge inverted bowl, is being considered by the South Park board of Chicago. The idea was brought back from Ger- many by board members. The “planetarium” would be housed in a building shaped like an observatory, with a special screen fitted to the inside of the roof, and 2 machine to project lights simulat- ing the stars and other heavenly boaies placed in the center of the vaulted room. The instrument, which looks like a huge, iron spider, will s! both . hemispheres of the firmament. Movements of heavenly bodies tak- ing their courses so deliberately as to move im tibly to the eye, will be seen to travel their entire distance in the space of a few min- utes. They will be shown in ac- curate relation to the sun, From sunrise to sunset, the sky will be portrayed on the bowl in the space of seven minutes, There are twelve “planetariums” in Germany and none anywhere else, according to members of the park board. e one p' ojected for Chi- cago would cost $250,000, 48-hour Test For Backache and Bladder If your back aches so bad you an hardly get around.

No need to = ROAD 40 FEET WIDE PLANNED Will Be First Link of All-) Weather Route From Chi- cago to Coast A direct and improved arterial] bureaus in directing tourist traffic highway: between Chicago and the) Twin Citi jes is expected to result |: from cooperation given the National | Parks Highway association by Chi- cago, Wisconsin and the Twin City, intercsts, Realisi consin Minnesota divisions of the highway, association officials | last year started the move to promote @ more direct route from Chicago to the Twin Cities. The first requisite was an improved road; second, the shortest rovte, and third, an attractive route that would offer te_service and accommoda- tions. These were obtained through re-routing of the highway and through cooperation of the Wiscon- sin state highway commissicn. Favor Super Highway An active nization was formed and support of state highway com- missions and good roads associations assured, presenting a solid front in favor of an ultimate 40-foot super- highway between these two large commercial centers, which will care for commercial tourist and all local traffic of the future, and the fi link in an all-weather Chicago to the coast. Illinois already has to wid- en its section of the highway to 40 feet this year without interfering with traffic. The route follows the Northwest highway out of Chicago, Illinois No. 19 to Harvard, Wisconsin state trunk highway 89 to Walworth, 20 to Janesville and 13 to Madison and Kilbourn, then over United States highway 16 to La Crosse, and Minne- sota No. 3 to St. Paul. It then fol- lows U. S. No. 10 with but a few exceptions, through North Dakota, Montana, Idaho and Washington. , The alignment of this eastern sec- tion offers the most direct route— practically an air line—that the pres- ent system of highways will permit. It passes through the most scenic sections of the two states. Much Hard Surface The route is all hard-surfaced in Minois. All but 35 miles is hard- surfaced in Wisconsin, and this will be oiled early in the spring. The Minnesota section is nearly ‘all hard- surfaced, only two links being oiled wel. ‘The road will be dzstless entire distance.

The St. Paul association also has pledged its fullest cooperation.

To care for the large number of motorists expected over the route this year, hotel and resort men have oreanized to provide accommodations and service. Twenty leading hotels | have arranged to cooperate with each \other to provide reservations and service as needed. | PEOPLE'S FORUM| CANADA'S EXPERIENCE Charbonneau, N. D., Feb. 28, 1928. Editor Tribune: The Canadians are not finding government control the “true tem- Perance measure” that the wets Promised. In 1927, the total cost of alcohol in British Columbia was $15,500,000 for a ulation of 565,000, or an expenditure of about $27 per capita. That is $5 than the maximum per capita cost in the United States before prohibition. “Government control” in Cant seems to work out just as it did in the United States—it was control of the government by the booze busi- ness. : R.
