I. Russia Becomes A Big Buyer Of Products Made In America Washington. — American goods ■lid American manufacturing, en gineering and building talent con tinue to pour into Russia with in creasing volume, Russia's five-year plan of econ omy and industrial expansion is being revised ambitiously and the present program for next year calls for an increase in industrial out put of 33 per cent instead of about 15 per cent as previously planned. Without American technical as sistance. it is admitted, this would not have been possible.

C 1925- 26 - $48,560,000. 1926- 27—*71.689 non. 1927- 28—$91,232.000. Fjxst in months of present fisc el year: $84 000.000, forecasting pur chases of about. $100000.000 for the year. The pre-war figure was about $25,000,000. Much of this increase represents healthy internal development for Russia Two years ago she bought $2,500,000 , worth of American in dustrial machinery. In the first 10 months of this year she bought $23,200,000 worth Figures on agri cultural machinery for the same period show an increase from $7, 000,000 to $21,000,000 Among the Soviet's recent, pur chasing contracts with American firms have been a $30,000,000 order with the Ford Motor company for cars and parts in thp next four years, a $10,000,000 order with the Baldwin Locomotive works, a large contract with the Westinghouse company. a deal for $26,000,000 worth of equipment, from General Electric, and something like $10. 000,000 worth of tractors from the International Harvester and Cater pillar Tractor companies. Russia is now fourth among for eign purchasers of American ma chinery and she is regarded as the world's largest prospective market for imported machinery and equip ment Her program calls for capi tal investments in industry and power plant construction of more than $1,500,000,000 in 1930 alone and of $8,000,000,000 for the period 1920-33 A check of the Jacts and figures seem to Indicate that Russia is determined lo build up her whole economic structure with American parts. She has just bought a dork fac I tory from the Ansonla Clock com pany, of Brooklyn, which will be moved to Russia to manufacture a million alarm clocks, and half a million wall clocks a year. A plant of the Dueber-Hampden Watch company of Canton, O.. will simi larly he moved over to make a million dollar watches annually. The Austin company, a building concern in Cleveland, is going to build a new model city for 25,000 persons at. Nlzhni-Novgorod in 15 months, which will cost $50,000,000. Nizhni-Novgorod is to become the Russian Detroit. There the Ford Motor company will build a plant to make 100,000 cars a year and an other factory will turn out 20,000 tractors. The Cleveland concern won the contract, for the new city to be built around these plants after European bidders had satd they would require four years for the Job. As interesting as anything are technical assistance contracts which the Soviet has made with about 30 American firms For Instance, Rus sia plans to douhle her coal pro duction In three years, so her lat est technical assistance confcrae.;, made with the Allen * Garcia company, provides for the mainten ance of 28 American engineers in Russian coal fields.

PICKLE FAILURE STARTS WORK ON IMMUNE VARIETY Geneva, N Y—Because the once flourishing pickle crops of Long Island succumbed to disease there slowly is being developed a new variety of pickle at the New Yoik agricultural experiment station here. A report on this pickle has beer, made to the American Association for the Advancement of Science by ■ Dr E. E Clayton of the station | The station is seeking a variety capable of resisting the mosaic dis j ease which ruined the Island pickle industry. The work started in 1925 Now there are several commercial pickles which have some mosaic re sistant characteristics. Dr. Clavton predicts that these offer a basis for production of a variety that will resist mosaic.

Retains His Interest. The numerous celebrations to be I held this fall In honor of Thotna ; A. Edison, in conjunction with ! 1 Light's Golden Jubilee suggest sim- 1 | iiar tributes for other contributions j 1 which, this grand old man of science has made to the world’s progress Possibly because It was his first work it is not so well known that Edison aided tremendously in the development of the art of tele graphy His inventions of the du plex and Hie quadruple* methods of telegraphy, the Universal stock ticker, and various automatic relav> and other pieces of telegraphic equipment have exerted a wide in fluence on the progress of this form of instantaneous communica tion. Edison became interested in tele graphy when he was a news bov on the Grand Trunk Railway, at which time he was but fourteen years old His taste for chemistry induced him to set up a laboratory in the empt' baggage car always carried on lv train. One of his experiments set the car on fire and so Incensed the conductor that he summarily elect ed the young inventor at Mount Clemens, Mich., the next station Edison sold papers at this station, and out of gratitude for saving the life of his son the station agent taught him the Morse code and the lad soon became proficient enough to accept a lob as a rail way telegraph operator. Later the desire for travel manifested itself and he Journeyed to Indianapolis where he went to work for the Wes tern Union. His farly days as a telegraph op era tor took him to various parts cf the country and he developed into an unusually expert operator, noted especially for the excellence of his handwriting. From Indianapolis Edison went to Cincinnati and then to Memphis, where he devised an automatic telegraph repeater which enabled New York to send directly to New Orleans He next, visited Nashville and left there for Louis ville where he arrived cold, hungry and broke; but he soon got a Jon and remained in that, city for two years, copying press reports After a Journey to New Orleans h< re turned to Louisville, then went to his home in Port Huron and subse quently Journeyed to Boston where he obtained work with the Western Union and. because of his spe°d and skill, w-as assigned to number one New' York wire. In Boston he found condition' favorable for continuing his experi mental work and Invented a stork ticker and started a market quota tion service. In 1868 he made an unsuccessful trip to New' York in an effort to sell his stock ticke> After a fruitless trip to Rochester for the same purpose and a return to New York, he got a position as expert In charge of the Gold Indi cator company's stock ticker service at the then munificent salary of $300 per month. The young inventor built an elec tric printer which with several oth er improvements he sold to the Gold and Stock Telegraph com pany, and after the Western Union assumed control of this firm he was retained bv General Marshall Lefferts. the president, to improve the ticker. The result of his labors was the Edison Universal Stock ticker which is in general use today. He received $40,000 for this invention and with this money in hand he opened up a factory, pur chased machinery, hired men to work for him. and went into the business of manufacturing tickers. Probably the most important tele graph inventions of Edison were the duplex and quadruplcx. For many years after the invention of Prof. Morse some of the best engineering brains not only in this country but in Europe too. had been endeavor lng to perieci some meuioa wneis by more than one message at one time could be sent over a single telegraph wire. Each attempt was found to be at fault In some par ticular or other which made it im practical. Edison put his mind on this problem and the result, was the duplex method of telegraphy by which two messages may be sent over the same wire at once, later he invented the quadruplex, which permits four messages to be sent simultaneously over a single wife. These two inventions resulted tn the saving of millions of dollars to the telegraph companies and are i considered today by telegraph ex | perts to be the most important con tributions to telegraph since the in ! vention of the telegraph Tn one of his business deals with | the Western Union Edison made a t peculiar stipulation. He sold two of his inventions outright to the Wes tern Union with the specific under standing that he should receive $12,000 r year for them over a ! period of seventeen years, the life of the patents. “I knew that if I got this money all at once I'd spend It in further ! experiments," Edison explained, j "Getting it the way 1 did saved me from financial worries for seven* I teen years " Even today Edison retains his in terest in telegraph and is still » , proficient Morse operator Pespi'e | his deafness which Iras become Weddinpr Pate Tot Governor and Mrs. John H.

Abbey Beats Shelby; Highs Meet Forest City Eleven Friday Green Shelby Team I'nable To Fathom Attack. Madlgan !«. Star. The Shelby highs, a tom pletelv rebuilt team of inex perienced lads, defeated in their opening encounter here last Friday, will play Forest City at Forest City Friday of this week. On the following Friday Gas tonia. rivals of old, comes here for the third contest. In the opening game Coach Morris' Shelby eleven, with two thirds of the team playing their first game, offered very little opposition to the speedy Belmont Abbey junior college eleven after the first quarter, the final score being 25 to 6. Shelby scored first, just at the end of the quarter, on a neat for ward pass, Rippy to "Shorty” Mc Swain, but failed to make the ex tra point on Rippy’s dropklck. Just a few minutes later Belmont stag ed the old triple-pass play, which would have been easy for Shelby's veteran team of last year; however, the inexperienced line players and backs "sucked in" and Madigan, Belmont star, reeled off a 65-yard run for a touchdown. The extra point came on a line rush. From that, point on the young collegians took to the air and more triple passes and the young Shelby eleven "went up in the air." Passes slipped over and by them, trime passes confused them and Madi gan, a brilliant ball toter. flashed across the field for three more touchdowns, intercepting a Shelby pass once to gallop through the entire local eleven. Good Prospects. It was the first time in six years that the Abbey outfit has defeated the locals and the licking threw a cloud of dissapointment over local football fans. However, the Shelby eleven is not quite so undependable as the score might indicate. In the backfield there was not a sing.e veteran player. Rippy handled his eleven very creditably during the first quarter, but thereafter- be came flabbergasted along with the remainder of the team. With Zeno Wall, regular quarter, back in the game to steady the play of the eleven, and with the green, but] heavy line getting a little more ac- j quainted w-ith football Shelby will yet have an eleven which will make trouble in future games. Another shortcoming on the part, of the highs, garbed in their ne,v yellow- Jerseys, was a lack of fight. The new boys, and they formed most of the eleven, did not seem to to be imbued with the idea that a football game is anythin? but a petting party. They tackled high and easy, when they tackled, and their charging w-as for the most part walking. The big line at times looked good, and there were inter vals when the pass combination, Rippy to McSwain and to Farris, looked good, and there were occa sions when two kid backs gave promise of developing into real pig skin movers.. Enough surn indica tions to assure that Shelby will have a pretty fair grid aggregation after the green players get the ex perience of three or four games. Poston Promising. About the most cheering angle of the game to local fans was the flashes of brilliance show-n when a little substitute back. Haig Poston, carried the ball. Ranking as a sub. and wearing a scrub jersey, the sandy-haired kid was sent in at halfback by Coaoh Morris and im mediately developed into the Shelby star by his quick dashes through holes in the line, and by nis crash ing tackles and defensive play de spite his lack of weight. If he keeps plugging as he did Friday he will more than likely be the Gold of this year's squad—but making the team may take the scrap out of him as so often happens with others who make good in a hurry. Barrett, wlno started at halfback, also looked good on the defense during the time he played while “O See" Con nor another half-pint youngster at halfback, displayed typical Connor ability although his forward wall failed to hold lotng enough for him to reel off any runs. On the defense the inexpenenc® of the Shelby eleven was more out standing. Except for the fierce tackling and fine defensive play of Hubert Wilson, center and tem porary captain, and of Aifred Esk ridge, fullridge, fullback, there w ts . - | !■ I.
