AMERICAN WOMAN TRIED IN MOSCOW AT THE END OF HER "SENTENCE
Moscow, To-day. An American, Mrs. Ruth Rubens, who has been under arrest since December 1937, was tried yesterday on a charge of illegally entering the U.S.S.R.
Mrs. Rubens, who pleaded guilty, was sentenced to 18 months' imprisonment, but as the period. she has already been detained will be deducted, she will be released to-day.
When asked by the Chief Justice, { Vosnev, if she had anything to say,
Mrs. Rubens replied: "Nothing ex- STERLING PAY
cept to ask what has happened to my husband.”
The judge replied he would let her know later.
The trial lasted less than an hour and was very informal. No. wit- nesses were called, and the court did not attempt to establish the motive for the offence alleged.
Mrs. Rubens looked well and was smartly dressed. She sat alone in the front row of the court smoking Soviet cigarettes.-Reuter.

It contained how- ever a proviso allowing the Trea- sury rate, i.e., a rate based upon a monthly average of the Bank's published rate of exchange more fully defined in section 2 of the principal Ordinance, to be paid in the case of officers absent on more than three months' leave who had arranged to draw their pay in the Colony.
It is considered desirable that, where a room is built in or added to a tenement or where other struc- tural alternations or improvements are made in a tenement solely for the purpose of affording protection: in the event of hostile attack from the air or for purposes auxiliary dinance should thereto, such room and structural | until the 31st December, 1938, and alterations and improvements should no longer, unless be excluded from the rateable value vided by Ordinance.
Section 6 provided that the Or- continue in force

NAZIS DRINK MORE
а
im-
German, consumption of cham-
pagne reached the record figure of NEW DEPUTIES IN
23,900,000 bottles during 1988.
This total exceeds by 20 per cent. the figure for 1987, despite appeals by "Nazi leaders-Hitler himself is a teetotaller for abstention from alcohol and tobacco.
When the Nazis came to power in 1933, the sale of champagne, was 6,500,000 bottles.
So far, the only visible effect of the Nazi campaign has been seen in officers' clubs and military can- teens of the German Air Force, where sale of alcoholic drinks and tobacco is lowest ever.
