FOUND MOSCOW STORIES UNTRUE (I. N. S. Special Correspondent) LONDON, July 3, Miss Lucia Squiers, of Hollywood, noten scenario writer, who returned recently from a six months' stay in Russia, presents an entirely different picture of conditions to those usually brought back by travelers. Miss Squires has been working on a reconstruction film of the Russian famine on behalf of the Society of Friends. Accompanying her was Captain Williams, who did the picture work on Shakelton's last voyage. They traveled on a courier train to Moscow, and, says Miss Squiers: "As far as comfort was concerned I might as well have been in a Pullman car in America. The trains arrived and left on schedule time and were clean and comfortable. There was no restaurant on the courier car, so we took our food with us, but I found restaurant cars on some of the other trains, and one could always buy food at the stopping places.

Now, at the declining age of 81, he has married his third bride, Mrs. Phoebe Dunphy, 76, after a whirlwind courtship of but four months.

GOAT AND BARBER BILL IS REJECTED (By International News Service) SACRAMENTO, July 3.—Governor Richardson believes that state commissions are unnecessary to govern the actions of goats and barbers and hence will not sign the bills providing for the creating of such boards. The governor said: "The goat commission bill has but few supporters and many opponents. It would appear to be unjust to goat owners if not to the goats themselves. The barber bill is backed by many under the false idea that it will close barber shops on Sunday. The bill proposes nothing of the kind. It is solely an alleged sanitary measure and the matter of sanitation is now fully regulated by the ordinances of the various cities."

Folks are getting more muscle and less brains all the time. These are the ingrubious conclusions of Professor John Burnett, of St. Andrews, Scotland, one of the best known Caledonian educators. He expressed his views in a recent lecture here. The world itself is growing wiser, Professor Burnett asserted, from the standpoint that there is a greater accumulation of potential knowledge. In other words there are more things to be learned than there were, but the trouble is that there are fewer folks who care to learn them. Professor Burnett assisted that the standard of human intelligence, individually speaking, has been on the downgrade for the last 40 years. The capacity to learn has not declined, but the curiosity that sends men seeking after information has decreased.

"The day is not far away when every city of size will own its own municipal flying field," he continued. In 25 years planes will drop down and take on gas and undergo repairs just as autos do now. In a quarter of a century aviation will be the leading means of travel. An airplane can go anywhere where there is atmosphere.

This is the theory upon which Mrs. Carroll Carr, Indianapolis specialist in vocal training, is urging the wide adoption of a system of voice development which she has evolved after years of research. "The little larynx, with its away over the voice, in many respects wields a mightier influence in human affairs than the grain or biceps," Mrs. Carr contended, in describing her work to International News Service. "The vast majority of the contacts between people, whether business, social or personal, are vocal contacts," she explained. "The success of these contacts depends therefore upon the voice, and the value of a trained voice is at once apparent. Every once in a while a literary critic makes a mistake and recommends something that makes darned good reading. Read Plain Dealer Want Ads. Saturdays ver JAPS ENJOY OWN FUNERALS TOKIO, July 3.—Orthodox Buddhists and Shintoists of Kochi, Shikoku Prefecture, had the shock of their careers recently when they viewed a funeral procession—fireworks, walking geisha and a long string of mourners, and in the center of the procession, smiling and discussing petty affairs with their friends, the couple who were to enjoy their own funeral sermon. "It has long been our cherished desire to attend our own funeral services," said the wealthy-70-year-old keeper of a fashionable restaurant, in telling his friends of the plans for the funeral.
