to possess a woman between the
ages OF II and SO Is hereby abol-

Thus is carefully defined the
ages at which woman Is most de-
sirable to man.
The decree does not affect
women having more than five
children, which means. precisely,
that the mother of five or more
children is no longer physically at
tractive. Nature takes care OF
that.
And what will the Russian an
archist pay for what he values

this Is a cannily economical plan!
The anarchist, IL this document

privileges for two per cent Of his

anarchists at Saratov Russia, which calls for the
Specialization of women:
This decree is proclaimed by the Free Associa-

DECREE: The private possession of women
is hereby abolished.
MOTIVE: Since the most beautiful specimens
OF the fair sex have in the past been limited by
marriage to the possession of the bourgeois man,
the correct continuation of the human race has
been greatly impeded and great injustice and
inequalities have resulted. Such weighty argu-
ments have induced the Anarchists to proclaim
the following decree:
ARTICLE NO. /: After March 1, 1918 the
right OF man to possess woman between the
ages of II and 80 is hereby abolished The age of
women shall be certified by birth certificates or
passports, and in the case of failure to produce
these documents, the age will be judged by a
'.block committee" according to the appearance
of the woman and the testimony of witnesses.
ARTICLE NO. 2: This decree does not affect
women having more than five children.
ARTICLE NO. 8: The former husband shall
release his wife from personal ownership, but
may call upon her whenever he wishes In case
of resistance by the husband to this decree, he
