BURNING WATER
IS NEW POWER
OAKLAND, Cal. March 23.-Ka
chele Jacuzzi, of this city, believes
he has perfected a device to make
■water hum. Tile device yields a
flame with a temperaluie higher than
4hit of the average welder's torch.
The water bums in it much the same
as household gas. the inventor says.
"Water is fed into a small coll
and heated by a gas flame,” ex
plained Mr. Jacuzzi. “This latter
(lame converts the water into steam
at first. Toward the end of the coil!
thp. ,49mperat ure lias increased to 1
» point that tbo water has been j
converted to a gas and when aug
imented by a small flame of acetylene,
lor other inflammable gas. burns with
, an Intense heat."
I
Behind the water burning process,
says the inventor, Is the idea to do
away with the gasoline motor for air
planes. This, he says, will eliminate
the wtflgiit of the (motor, radiator and
other mechanism on a plane, and
apply the power deveotped from the
device directly to the propellor. The
gases, whose combustion bring about
the rotation of tlu> propeller, are led
to the tips of the propollor through
tubes, these gasses being planned to
produce the reactionary effect aTter
their combustion in appropriate noz
zles. Jacuzzi has constructed a small
airplane propellor which works out
his principles, he says.

MOSCOW STUDENTS MUST FIGHT
FOR CHANCE TO MAKE LIVING
I
MOSCOW. March 23.-American
! college students, who frequently
complain that their allowances are
too small, would learn what rough
ing It in search of an education
actually means were they to come
to Moscow.
Investigators Tor the American
Relief Administration has come
across tfaglc comfedy or comic trag
edy in every nook and corner of the
bare ,clad dormitories wfhich the
Soviet government providt's for Rus
sian youths at the big universities
in Moscow and In thrt- provinces.
Cast September, when the college
term opened, there were approxi
mately 50,000 students registered in
the higher institutions of Moscow.
Approximately 10,000 of these were
capable of caring for themselves:
another 10,000 were to be tuken
care of by the government, but
many of the 30,000 literally had to
sleep in the streets, because no
quarters could be found for them in
the overcrowded city.
One member of the committee
found the task or relieving needy
students almost hopeless because of
the indefinite addrenees given by
lhe applicants. Peter Popoff, who
was given a pair of shoes and was
to receive a food package later, in
formed the (:omi*i!tee that he was
rather a difficult person to find, be
cause he slept in a different door
way every night. Two young men
from the electrical college were per
fectly willing to he called upon,
they said, but doubted that they
could be found in the crowd at the I
railway station, where they slept. !
atuay impossible.
I So much time and energy is spent
I trying to obtain food and shelter]
that many of the students find;
study impossible. They are always
on the lookout for odd jobs that
will give them a bed, a meal or a!
few million rubles. Threp girls in,
one of the universities sew four]
hours a day for a corner to sle -p
in. After a meal at the student!
kitchen at G o'clock in the evening,]
they attend their first class. Rus
Islan universities always ran to
night work, l'er even in the old days
the terms “student” and "poor”,
were eynonomous,
Conditions in the universities cf1
Moscow today arc said to tie inlin-]
| itely worse than those endured by.
;the poorest students before the rev
olution. Sleeping forty in a room,
some witli and tome without bods,
many of these earnest young seek-,
era after the tnitti about science,
philosophy or medicine play bala-]
laikas and sing songs even when,
they are hungry. Two cheery lads, I
owning one suit of clothes between I
them were lucky enough to find a!
email room by themselves. They ar-1
ranged their elarses so tiiat one
could stay In bed and study while:
the other wore the suit to the lec

of potatoes, and geometry. Wrapped!
in one, he used another for a pil

UiTe for Education.
Two girl.', taking a mathematical
course, had persistently guarded
their 'room, but one evening they
went out for a moment to buy some]
food. When they returned they ]
found their belongings in the cor
ridor and a now lock on the door.'
Two young men had moved In.
Tlte urge tor education is strong-J
er throughout Russia these days,
particularly among sons and daugh
ters of the working classes, than!
it has ever been’before,'and regie-1
tration .in the higher schools ii^l
some cases has increased more than’!
200 per cent.
In the bid days at the Russian j
universities .there were no dormi
tories, the students renting rooms
and paying for their own board.
Now the government js attempting
both to feed an* house studentB,
and pays them a monthly subsidy,
amounting approximately to two
dollars in American money. In pre
