D., Dec. 15.—(4)—Much will be done in the near future by the federal government and other outside agencies to aid the farming industry, President John Lee Coul- ter, at the North Dakota Agricul- tural college, said at the opening session today of the annual confer- ence of members of the staff of the extension division. “There will be a much more vig- orous pursuit of opening of water- ways for cheaper transportation of agricultural products, such projects as the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence transportation costs which will re- sult from cambination water and freight rates may change North Da- kota’s distance to a water outlet from 1,500 miles relatively to 500 miles,” the president continued. “Undoubtedly many favorable tariff changes will be made on such products as flax, grain, butter, wool and meats, and these changes will uccelerate diversified farming devel- opment in our state. “More research work will be done in the utilization of agricultural by- products. “A federal farm board will be ‘ established with adequate finances to handle such situations as tem- porary market gluts and the sea- sonal variations in production. of different commodities. “More money will be available to secure new varieties of crops re- sistant to disease, drouth and other jamage factors.” Russians Will Rescue Ice-Bound Explorers Leningrad, Dec. 15.—(AP)—Three Russian yoke expeditions have been ice bound and cut off from civiliza- tion for several months and scien- tific circles are anxiously consider- ing means of rescue. One expedition under the head of Professor Pinegin left Tiksy Bay August 12 aboard the “Polar Star” to build a radio and air service weather station on Cape Tiksy. No word has been received. A second exprcdition is entrusted with building a hydrological plant on the Yana River and a third was preparing bases for an air service to Taimys. The academy of sciences has asked the central radio station to listen for sig: Jam Fruits Scarce So Carrots Fill in Paris, Dec. 15.—(AP)—Vegetable jam is filling the void caused by a shortage in the fruit crop. Carrots, pumpkins and tomatoes are giving children toothache quite as_effec- tively as plums, apricots and straw- berries. ure food regulations in Paris are fairly loose and the au- thorities have discovered that the ie Feces jam_market is well sup- plied from truck gardens. No Peanut Escapes _ Wily Chinese Hand Tsingtao, Shantung, China, Dec. 15.—(AP)—When a Chinese farmer gets through harvesting his peanut crop he can look back on a very com- plete job. First, the mature nuts are re- moved from the ground by furrow- ing out, pulling up by hand or fork or both, and then the soil is sieved. If the crafty harvester believes a stray peanut has eluded him he turns the hogs into the field. After that he never needs to wo: The Shantung province has an an- nual harvest of about a million tons of peanuts. Stimson Ships China Tong Leaders Home Manila, Dec, 15.—()—Chinese tong wars in the city of Manila have been checked, temporarily, at least, by the deportation of approximately 40 Chinese who took part in them. Following a series of attacks which resulted in the serious injury of several members of the Chinese community, Governor General Stim- son ordered an investigation of the activities of various tongs. As a result of evidence gathered by the investigations, 40 Chinese were de- ported by order of the governor gen- eral ij Berlin Show Patrons Are Very Forgetful Berlin, Dec. 15.—(#)—Records of (the lost and found office of Berlin state theatres indicate that the pub- lie is never quite so forgetful as when attending a theatrical per- formance, The list of articles picked up in four theatres during the past year includes 113 pairs of gloves, a bas- ketful of single gloves, also Space glasses, rings, brooches, lipsticks, shoes, suspenders, manicure files, whistles, belts and a shirt.

Traditions are more firmly entrenched and the barriers harder to break down. It is hard to get used to the idea of a woman in the pulpit. And it is only by entering in large numbers that women can overcome this prejudice.” Miss Eby is fulfilling no lifelong ambition in becoming a minister. It only occurred to her about a year ago, and she acted upon the impulse as quickly as she could. i “My original intention,” she said, “was to prepare myself for a college professorship in religion. As I progressed, it seemed to me I could find greater opportunity for service in the church than in college, and that I could do more in the church if I were a fully ordained minister.” Interested in Problems After graduating from Mt. Holy- oke College, Miss Eby completed the four-year course at Union Theo- logical Seminary in three years. She has spent the last two years abroad studying theology and religion at Mf&rburg_ University, Germany, and at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland. Miss Eby believes that woman's greatest service as a minister will be her ability to help with the prob- lems of women and children.- She does not expect them to bring up the masculine attendance. “Curiosity always will bring out a fairly large congregation the first time a woman preaches,” she said. “I know that from experience. But it will not bring them the second time unless you have a message for them that they are willing to re- ceive.” “Yes, there is considerable preju- dice against women in the church it- self. The Episcopalian and Presby- terian denominations will not ordain women, though the Unitarian, Bap- tist, Congregational and Methodist Perhaps the “Floradora” sextet was more famous, but the members of the chorus group pictured here, of _w! hich Elizabeth Meehan, top, was one, have done very well, thank you. They were dancers in the musical show, “Sally,” seven years ago and, left to highest-paid scenario writers in the sae New York, Dec. 15.—(NEA)— Seven years ago, Betty Meehan danced in a Follies chorus. In odd hours, along with other “ladies of the ensemble,” she boosted her in- come by playing extra roles at a Long Island film factory. The other day, Miss Bhizabeth Meehan, who still could pass the meticulous muster of any music show producer, both for face and figure, came back to Manhattan with the prize scalps of scenario-land dangling from her sinuous waist. oo, a_few intimates had known that the Betty Meehan of the chorus was the Elizabeth Meehan whose name could be found on such super- productions as “Beau Geste,” “Sor- rel and Son” and “The Great Gatsby”; the same Elizabeth Meehan who had been selected to adapt to screen form the great Conrad epic, “The Rescue,” and who now holds conferences with Fannie’ Hurst on the screen version of “Lummox.” In other words, Betty Meehan, of the chorus, has become one of the four or five outstanding scenarists of the moment. Which is doing rather well for a chorine and an extra girl. Miss Meehan, to the contrary, is quite astounded to find that anyone should consider her rise exceptional. All Chorines Beautiful—All Not yumi “Oh, yes, I know that chorines have the reputation of being beau- tiful but dumb,” she began. “And, perhaps, some of them are. But you’d be surprised at the girls you'll find in the choruses. “There were six in the group to which I was attached, and every one of them at this moment is a stc- cess in one way or another. Some married rich men and some married prominent men; some were from good families and inherited money; some became stars of :the. cinema and stage. The fact is that the so- called ladies of the ensemble are wise, even when inarticulate—they right, are: Miss Meehan, one of the country; Emily Drainge, who is now Mrs. Lynn Overman; Billie Dove, the movie star; Leon Errol; Janet Magrue, who became a star of the London stage; Gladys Bowie, who inherited a fortune, and retired, having as her hobby the breedin horses; Alta King, who married Edward Royce, playwright and producer. of prize show oe have to be, Hundreds of them drift into the chorus by accident rather than intent. It’s a stepping stone for them to something else and they’re on the watch for the big chance. “In my chorus were, for instance, Billie Dove—whose identity needs no establishment; there was Alta King, who married Edward Royce, the playwright and producer; there was Gladys Bowie, who now has a fortune in her name and figures in Manhattan society; there was Janet Magrue, who became a star of the London stage; and there was Emily Drainge, who married Lynn Over- man, celebrated actor-writer, ‘My own experience convinces me that one has to “make the breaks,” to some extent. I had been a pro- fessional swimmer. I came from Philadelphia and my first business experience was a professional swim- ming meet. Modeled, Danced in Chorus and Wrote “When I came to New York, IT found that it was easy to get a job modeling for clothing concerns if you had a figure. It was then but a step to the chorus. But I had always wanted to write. articles for Sunday newspapers, but couldn’t make a living at it. Most of the Follies girls had no trouble getting work as extras in the pic- tures. “One day, as I was waiting to go on as an extra, the script of a scenario was handed me to read. I was interested in its composition and found myself studying the mechan- ics. When I asked for a chance to help on the writing of a script they raised their eyebrows. The idea—an extra girl wanting to write a scena- rio! But I worked on the story of ‘The Great Gatsby’ and things were different after that. “On the strength of that story and “Beau Geste,’ they sent me to Holly- wood. And I've been going ever since.

In liberal churches and among the younger ministers there is no feeling of discrimination against a woman, but there is no denying that it exists among more: conservative groups and among the older clergy.” A Living, If Not Fat Miss Eby admits that the church offers no inducements in the way of large financial returns. “It offers a living—but not a fat one,” she said. “I think it would be a disgrace to the ministry if it did. Its rewards are in opportunities for service.” Miss Eby admitted that the young- er generation seemed to be less in evidence in churches today than formerly. “But they could be in the churches,” she concluded, “and they should be, and they would be if they could find in them the real and vital something for which they are searching.” Wild Children Roam Russian Countryside Kharkov, Ukraine, Dec. 15,—(AP) —Nine thousand homeless waifs were picked up in the Ukranian re- Public this year, Most of them were small children, but 150 were sixteen yéars old and more.
