EkATE RiNRuRG.

-Ekaterinburg, the east Russian city
to which the kolchak government, set
up at Omsk, Siberia, is reported to
be moving its headquarters. is des-
cribed in a bulletin from the Wash
lngton, D. G. headquarters of the Ma
ticnal Geographic Society. The bulle-
tin, after calling attention to the fact
that this city also figured in recent
history as the reputed scene of the
Imprisonment and execution of the
Romanoffs, continues:
'Ekaterinburg, geographically, is
well adapted to be a gateway through
which the Siberian government seeks
to spread its influence and oppose
Bolshevism in European Russia. 1t is

mountains lying about 80 miles. by

THE QUESTIONS OF UNIFORMS

who was pouring tea.

thing is that they should be uni

in gray uniforms and everybody
looked at them and smiled approving

me over trying to get better look.
Now, if / had been wearing uni

ought to be a special Uniform for
efficient housekeepers, a neat blue
and white effect with crossed spoons
for emblems. Married ones could
have some distinguishing mark with
pink or blue stripes for children.
"And housekepers aren't the only
ones. Think of school teachers for
instance. OF course. l know that
after they have taught number of
years you can tell that they are
teachers without having them label

ought to be as mark of honor.
There's my cousin Grace. She works
awfully hard, and doesn't make much
money. Now if she could wear a
simple inexpensive uniform it would
be lots more economical for her
and everybody would say: She's a
teacher we won't charge the poor

The activity that is being manifested
in the problem of meeting housing

has been almost al a standstill for two
or more years and the result is that
the effects Of this stsgnation are now
being felt in the lack of suitable
houses. The normal growth in this
direction has been retarded so that
there is a scarcity OF homes and rents
though the population has continued
TO increase.
With conditions normal there would
be no hesitancy whatever in speeding
up operations so as to quickly over
come this condition, but conditions
are far from normal and the dispo-
sition is to wait until pre-war condi-
tions return. There is an inclina-
ton to withhold orders to builders
until the expense connected with
such operations declines, otherwise it
