Russia is the largest country in the
world. territorially.
Ii is more than twice the size of the
United States.
Ii occupies one-siXth of the total land
area of the earth.
It's population is about lS00e0.o 900.
Its normal increase of population is
about seventeen per thousand.
Seventy-five per cent. of the people of
Russia are engaged in agriculture.
Fifteen per cent. of Russia's population
live in cities In the United States it is
almost i6 per cent.
In 1918 there were over $4,000 differ
ent books published in Russia. during
the same year in the United States over
1900.
Only sixth Of the children of Russia
are enrolled in its schools.
Moving pictures have made rapid adj
vances in Russia: there are over 1900
Of such places of entertainment.
Russia's national wealth is estimated
at fifty billion dollars; it is thus the
fifth richest nation.
There are over two million inhabitants
in each of Russias two capitals. Petro-
grad and Moscow.
OF RussiaS 1921 cities, 1,06S have
their streets lighted at night. l62 hav-

thousands, are Petrograd 100000, Mos
COW 100000. Warsaw 100000. Odessa
100000. Kiev 600.0 900.
Russia has the longest coast line Of
any country in the world; but most Of
it is locked by ice a good part of the
year.
One of the most striking features Of
Russian economic life is the development
of the cooperative movement. There are
more than $4,000 cooperative institu-
tons more than in any other country.
Russia is the most important granary
of the world In 1910 when crops every
where were normal, it exported over 49,
600, 900 tons of wheat; the United States
came next with 22,000,O00; the world
crop was 96,000,00O
The three greatest tobacco growing
countries are-in millions of pounds
the United States 722, British India 1873,
and Russia lSS.
Russia raises more horses than any
other country
Russia supplies about one-third Of the
furs of the world.
1t contains more forests than any
other country.
Russia is the second petroleum pro-
ducing country; the first is the United
States.
Much of the business in Russia, whole
sale as well as retail, is done at fairs of
which there are over 5000 which take
place annually.
The most famous fair in the world is
that at Nizhi-Novgorod
The Russian state bank is the largest
bank in the world judged by the amount
Of its deposits.
At the close Of the war Russia will
be about the most promising field in the
world in which 10 invest capital, for it
has the most tremendous possibilities.

Household Thrift
ny ~. ADDINGTON BRuCE
Author 81 The Riddle OF Person
Atty" Psychology and
Parenthood." etc.
Household thrift has always been

Household thrift has always been
desirable. Today. with wocld-
wide economic crisis bulkins ever
larger. household thrift has become
imperative. And real household
thrift means much,
II means. in the first place. care
in the preservation and preparation
OF food. economy in the consump-
tion OF food. and the avoidance Of
all table waste.
Not so much as a single slice OF
leftover bread should be wasted
In one good sized slice OF bread
according 20 experts OF the United
States department OF agriculture,
there is on the average about three
fourths OF an ounce OF -four In the
United States there are 10000. 600
homes
Consequently a single slice vast
cd in each OF these homes would
amount TO daily waste OF over a.
OO0,0 ounces OF nour or enough
-four for more than 10000 one
pound loaves OF bread
With -four costing what IL does
today and thousands az people
threatened with under.nourishment
because OF the high cost OF food in
general. even the waste OF one slice
OF bread NAV reasonably be called
criminal negligence.
So with all foodstuys Thrift IN
their use is a paramount duty In
every home
Household thrift should also in.
clude thrift in the use Of fuel, pa.
per. and clothing.
Coal and gas should not be vast.

junk man who can dispose OF n 20
reduce in some degree the coun,ry's
economic burden
As for clothing. let me- quote this
urgent warning by the secretary Of
agriculture;
Clothing is largely an agricul.
tural product and represents the re
suits OF labor on the sheep ranges
in cotton fields. and in mills and
factories.
Whenever 4 useful garment *
needlessly discarded. material need
ed 10 keep some one warm or dry
may be consumed merely 10 crafty
a passing fancy. Women would do
we'll 10 look upon clothing AT this
time more particularly from the
utilitarian point OF view
Leather. too. is scarce. and the
proper shoeing OF armies calls for
great supplies of this material.
There are only so many pairs OF
shoes in each hide. and there Is a
shortage OF animals FOR leather a.
VOL az for meat
Anything that can be done 10 on
courage adults or children 70 take
care ~ their shoes and make them
last longer means that so much
more leather is available for other
purposes
Finally. and by no means the least
important item in household thrift
the home should be kept really
clean from attic 10 cellar. n there
has been carelessness in this re-
spect, house-cleaning should be be-
gun AT once
Dust and dirt breed disease Dis.

homes and encourage thrift among
your neighbors.

New York, April 24.-The resigna- tion of Howard Elliott, as president of the New Haven road was accepted today at a meeting of the board of directors here. His Retirement be- comes effective on May 1 but he will continue to act in an advisory capacity with the presidents of the various companies comprising the New Haven system.
 As MT. Elliott's successor the di- rectors elected B. J.. Pearson, who, since March g, 1916. has been vice president of the company, and MT. Elliott's general assistant in charge of construction, operation and mainten- ance.
 The directors created committee of intercorporate relations which is to consist of the presidents and vice presidents of the various companies and MT. Elliott will cooperate with this committee to coordinate and harmonize it's activities.
 Recently MT. Elliott was selected as a, member of an executive committee of railroad presidents to cooperate with the Council of National defense in placing the country's transportation lines on war basis. This is believed to have been one of his reasons fol resigning the presidency of the road It was announced that Mir. Elliott would issue statement late today.
