"We9 asked Premier Lenine and
otherss about 1the reported national
ization of women the first time we
met them" said Steffens.
"All We got was blank stares OF
non-comprehension. We repeated the
question next day, whereupon we
were informed they had understood
the first time, but they had not sup
posed we meant the question seri-
cusly They said they had heard the

were sorry that some ones freakish
idea OF humor had attracted more
attention than any real accomplish

"As a matter OF fact. conditions in
Russia approach the puritanical. Of
