LIL SS SS ST: LARGE FAMILIES IS SOVIET PLAN (Ry Associated Prexs) MOSCOW, April 3.—The Peo- ple’s Commissariat of Finances announces it distributed $245,- 000,000 in 1940 to mothers of large families, under the Soviet plan to encourage child bearing. This was 120,000,000 rubles more than 1939, much of it going tq new Soviet territories formerly held by Poland. The plan provides 2,000 rubles yearly to mothers for their sev- enth living child, and an equal ad. ditional sum for each subsequent child until it has reached the age of five. pt In Fine Condition; Prisoners Clean Up Around Premises Daily An ancient negro woman, blind and mentally affected, peers out of the green gate at county jail; each morning, and the eyes of every prisoner on that side of the building are on her. If, as she frequently does, she merely peers up toward the sun, then hobbles back into the jail, the prisoners relax. Their friends are safe and it will be a quiet day in jail. Sometimes, however, she peers upward at the sun, , then spits twice quickly and makes the sign of the cross. Another prisoner will be in jail by dark then, and | the negro inmates of the jail wait anxiously to see who it will be. The old woman has been in county jail for nearly 10 years. She, could go to the state insane asylum at Chatahootchee, but for one so old there is little reason to make the long trip. Besides, she’s accustomed to the jail now and considers it her home. That is part of the background of the old county jail, which, un- der the direction of William A. | into as Kemp has developed clean, if not as cheery, a place as | any public building in town.

Kemp, has done much, however, to make it a more pleasant place for the people who have to stay there. Prisoners keep the floors Scrub- bed down and the enclosed court- yard has been cleaned up to pro- vide a place for the trusties to get a little sun when they are not working.

In the chemistry line for 40 years, and in research chemistry for 30, Mr. Jorjorian undertook to find practical new by-products he was impressed by seeing quantities of fruit being destroyed because of freeze damage. Citrus alcohol, he states, is the purest ever made and has been used successfully by three surgeon friends for operations. Almost odorless, it retains a faint scent of alocohol and oranges. A few drops on the skin leaves a smooth- ness like cream and a few drops on the hair make it soft and silky According to the chemist, softening effect of the will remain for two or days. The second product, a colorless syrup, may be used for perfum- ing soaps, he pointed out. It is made of orange skins and in full concentrate cannot be smelied at all. The chemist draws out a cer tain element, dilutes a few drops of the oil in alcohol, and the scent of orange is immediately brought out.
