Dr. Loheck attended the Interna tional Geological Congress which met in Russia in 1937. During the months of July and August lie covered 12,000 miles of Rusqiaii territory, observing Russian customs, industries, and homes, as well as the geological and topographic characteristics of that part of the world. Dr. Loheck, as a geologist, found the vast mineral resources of great interest. Ile said that rich deposits of asbestos. gypsun, and platinum were found in certain sections anid were mined carefully and efficiently. Agriculture is still a major indus try in Russia. Much grain is raised and a great many horses and cattle are pastured on the wide reaches of grassland which are good for nothing else. Under the new regime in Russia women (1o every kind of work except on the lower levels of the deep mines. They work on the railroads, in the fields, and in surface mines.

According to Mr. Lobeck the chief need in the way of workmen is for skilled mechanics. The government maintains agricul tural experimental stations and one of the most interesting experiments is the training of apple trees to grow only one or two feet high. They are more resistant to the cold which goes as low as 50 to 70 degrees below zero. Dr. Lobeck declared emphatically that whatever faults the present gov ernment of Russia may have it is making a sincere and scientific effort to make the children healthy and happy. H1e , said that everywhere in Russia the children were well-cared for and contented. On some of the slides were shown lovely old churches and monasteries.
