RUSSIAN MASSES LIKE MUSIC
interesting Phase of Present Life Is ProIetariat's Passion for Thea
 ters and Concerts.

London-One of the most interest ing phases of life in Russia since the revolution has been the passion for music displayed by the masses of the people. Albert Coates, an Englishman who has just returned from Petrograd, where, for years he was one of the principal conductors of the Imperial opera, says the Russian proletariat throngs theaters and concerts.
 The educated music-loving public of former days has almost entirely disap- peared, MT. Coates says. The one that has taken its place is a new public consisting of work people, peasants, soldiers and sailors.
 "I thoroughly realized during the revolution" he went on, "the force of the proverb, Music hath charms to soothe the savage breast for what ever the people do in the political and social sphere-and their record is pret- ty bad-at concerts and at the opera they sit as reverently as though they were in church, and listen with the rapt expression of children to whom fairyland is suddenly revealed.
 "It has often happened th at after concert some simple peasant has risen and formally thanked me and the or chestra for the pleasure we have given them.''

TO MAKE JOBS FOR CRIPPLES
Australian Government Buys Ameri- can Invention to Provide Employ
 ment for Returned Soldiers.

Menominee, Mich.-A one-armed man operating the newly invented Lloyd loom so impressed Hon. G. M. s. McNeilage, member of the Aus tralian legislature, during a trip through the Lloyd Manufacturing com pany's plant here that arrangements were completed by cable whereby the Australian government pays $25O,OOO for rights to use the machine as well as Lloyd's new method of production. They will only be used fn giving em- ployment to returned and crippled sol diers and sailors.
 The Lloyd loom is the first mechan- ical device ever made which will weave reed or fiber for baby carriages, furniture or baskets. From the very earliest time-even when Moses was found in the bullrushes, tucked into handmade reed bas4et-these articles have been woven by hand. Marshall B. Lloyd struggled many years over the task while scores of others failed. Success has finally come in a machine which will weave these fabrics thirty times faster than the most skilled hand-worker can, and with much greater perfection.

Farmer of Today His Opinion Is Sought and
 Respected,

Urban sophiStication in the cities poked fun, before the war, at the farmer. He was supposed to be un- couth and gullible-a child of nature, He chewed a straw and pulled his beard and greased his boots and rose by 1amplight, and was man with a hoe among the herds and orchards, a man to whom the great round world was a blank page or distant myth.
 Now that is changed, says a writer in the Philadelphia Ledger. The far mer is an applied scientist, whose opin- ion is sought and respected, with whose hand, as it is busy or idle, is the feeding or starving of the nations. For millions during the war life has been a grim, unmitigated quest of food. The farm has had to yield by intensive cultivation many times its former produce, and marketing in hap hazard ways has had to yield to me thodic and speedy transportation. Farm work and farm life today utilize every last development of engineering. The machinery has revolutionized farm labor, and electricity and gaso- line are the greatest of all hired hands. The motorcar, the tractor. the dairy machinery, the telephone are commonplaces where once they were unknown.
 The demobilized fighter no longer regards indifferently or scornfully the chance the farm holds out to him. The fields are clamoring for him fields where the battle is for life and not for destruction.

HINTS FOR POULTRY

Tenants and other persons desiring temporary shelter for poultry would do well to consider a straw shed house, according to T. s. Townsley of the University of Missouri College of Agriculture. Such house is very simple to make and will serve as ex- cellent quarters for poultry during at least one winter. If supporting frame is built before thrashing time 1t is no extra trouble to blow the straw from the thrashing machine over and around this frame to form shed completely closed in with straw on all sides excepting the south. A support ing frame can be easily made by set ting post for each corner of the pro- posed shed and placing across the top supports for the framework of rails, boards or light poles, which will hold up the straw. After the straw has been thrown over this frame front such as is used on any modern poul- try house can be built on the south side. This front should include some open space and some windows to pro- vide ventilation and furnish light. The Inside of the house may be equipped with dropping boards, rOOsts and nests, just the same as any other poul- try house. A straw shed house of this type 20 feet square on farm near St. Peters, Mo-, furnished shelter for 125 hens. These birds came through with out frozen comb and laid all winter.
 If such house becomes infested with mites during warm weather the birds can be allowed to roost outside during the summer months and new house can be built each thrashing time.

Rubies and Sapphires Are
 the "JeWeIs" in Watches
 Higher Value Than Diamond

There are in every good watch from z to 21 "jewels.'' Some of them are rubies, others sapphires-two kinds of gem stones rated much higher in market value than the diamond. These sapphires and rubies, furthermore, must, to serve the watch-making pur- pose, be 1awless.
 The watchmakers get them cheap, because the gem stones used for this purpose are of inferior color and bril- liancy-useless even if they were big ger, for jewelry.
 A watch is said to "run" on so many stones. The more valuable the timepiece the greater the number of stones used in it's makeup. The tiny gems, pierced to receive the axies of wheels, offer minimum of friction, and do not wear out easily.
 Enormous quantities of these watch jewels are cut in Switzerland. To each stone is given a rounded form with a hole through the center.

Antipathy Shown to Kings
 and Queens on Early Cards

Early American playing cards, sac- cording to an article in the American Printer, showed the national antipathy to kings and queens by presenting, in- stead of the conventional figures with which playing cards are now adorned, the following pictures: President of hearts, George Washington; of dia- monds, John Adams; of clubs, Benja- min Franklin; of spades, Lafayette. The "queens" were Venus, Fortune, Ceres and Minerva. The knaves were represented, appropriately reflecting the general feeling among the whites, by pictures of Indian chiefs.

resentatives in Mexico. Protests against this legislation have been filed by the American, British and French govern ments.
 Since he developed his anti-American attitude Carranza has famed his supporters with the slogan of 'Latin- American Solidarity" against the great northern republic and today the most generally developed trait in the ma jority of Mexicans in federal controlled territory is that of anti-Americanism. And furthermore, reports from authen- tic sources show that Mexico today has, to a great extent, relapsed into a state of standardization.
