In 1930 gxports totaling 142,015 tons | were brought from the mouths of the two Siberian rivers, while 16,247 tons of imports were delivered there. The Kara Sea trip ceased to be the| adventure it was in the days when ships made the dash on chance, and often had only two weeks in which they could make their way unassisted through the ice. | In Czaristic days Moscow and Lenin- grad Chambers of Commerce prevented the government from entering into the Kara Sea trade, as they did not want other countries to get into direct trade contact with Northern Siberia ' As far back as 1853 a wealthy Si- | berian began agitating for the estab- ishment of trade routes between Eu- rope and the Siberian rivers, and in 1874 a British steamer actually reached the mouth of the Ob.

I'm past the GIRLY GIRLY age—but I know fashions! For instance, I always steer clear of frilly styles and exagger- ated details—very wide shoulders, floppy sleeves and high, high waistlines—which only make me look ‘top-heavy’ and ‘sawed off.” I want new (not radical), smart (not bizarre), youthful (not flapperish) styles . . . and I want dresses that FIT. It has always irritated me to find a dress I liked—only to discover it needed costly altera- tions.
