A PRISONER OF TRoTsKYs. By An
drow Kaipaschnikoff. New YORK.
Doubleday. Page 4 Company.

Doubleday, Page Company.
A BOOK which gives some In
n teresting sidelights. through
n the authors eyes, on the
chaotic changes in Russia since the
overthrow Of the Car.
Colonel Kalpaschnikoff, a hishiy
educated Russian, whose iamily
owned property under the ola
regime, had been in America promot-
ing the furnishing of motor ambu-
lances for use in Siberia before the
Russian collapse. After the hrst
revolution he returned to Russia on
the boat which bore Leon Trotsky
as far as Halifax. There he evil
IDENTIFY incurred the enmity of the
later Russian leader by acting as
interpreter when Trotsky was de-
tained by the British authorities.
Kalpaschnikor, after arriving In
Russia, arranged to send seventy
two motor ambulances for use OF
the American Red Cross mission In
Rumanis. Trotsky, for his own
ends, construed this activity as a
plot to furnish military automo-
biles to Rumania for use against
the Jenine-Trotsky regime In Rus
sia. He implicated Ambassador
David Y. Francis In the alleged
plot. Kalpasch nixon was thrown
into tho famous prison OF IS. Peter
and Paul. where he remained for
more than Ave months, meeting
many distinguished prisoners.
Colonel Kslpaschnikon's views OF
Russian conditions, which, OF
course, must be taken only as the
views OF one observer, with tempts-
tions to bias because OF the injus-
tices against himself. are an inter
csting exhibit In the history OF
national period unique In the
worlds history.

Matters Pertaining to Domestic
Science.

Science.
GONE folks make such hard
- work of keeping the home
clean while others seem to
maintain a similar degree of clean
ness with little effort. Women who
give too much time to cleaning IRE
ouently do so because of lack of
knowledge or lack of system or lack
of the proper equipment.
Fresh air, sunshine and pure
water are natures great aids to
cleanness And too often are these
overlooked by the anxious cleaner
We all recall homes that are well
scrubbed up. yet they lack that
fresh, sweet odor which fresh air
and sunshine alone give.
To devote a particular space IN
the home to the keeping OF the
cleaning equipment approaches the
ideal in household efficiency. If a
whole cupboard can be spared so
much the better. Cleaning equip
ment should be itself cleaned oetore
being stored away.
The careless practice of throwing
n dirty old rug used in cleaning
into a dark closet until it is again
wanted is indeed to be deplored.
Rags should not be used. But old
clothes, properly hemmed to pre-
vent fraying should be washed with
soap. boiled and dried before being
stored away.
A fussy housewife will stitch the
word Floor" polishing" and so
on upon the various cloths used in
cleaning. Besides natures aids to
cleanliness in the way of fresh air,
sunshine and pure water, there are
certain others. Some act chem
ically, while others act mechan-
icalIy, removing ground-in soil by
the friction they afford.
Soap is merely alkali in con-
yenient form. Water decomposes
the soap and the alkali thus set
free attacks any dirt with which it,
NAV come in contact. making 1t
soluble in water. 1t is more eco
nomical to buy a good al-purpoSe
soap in quantity and let 1t dry our.
Hard soap wastes" less rapidly in
the water.
Next to soap the average house,
wife is next best acquainted, per
hap.. with washing soda. This Is
also called sal-soda. 1t is COM
paratively cheap and has a way all
it's own OF eating up grease and
fatty matter. Care must be attend
ant upon it's use, for 1t acts severely
upon the skin and Is apt to give
one sore hands.
To use washing soda properly
dissolve orr pound of 1t in a sauce

water. when cool. pour into jars
or bottles and label "Sal-Soda So

solution is usually all that Us need

much as quarter OF cuptul is

water.
Aluminium pots. pans or other
utensils should never he washed In

soda blackens aluminium. But tho

CHAPTER IN.

to society when she was eighteen.
and was not a success. She had
every chance at her debut to prove
popular, but she remained passive,
charmingly Indifferent to social sue
cess, not inclined to step upon the
treadmill, unwilling to endure the
exactions. formalities, sacrifices, and
stupid routine which alone make
social position possible. There was
too much chaff for the few grains
Of wheat to interest her.
She wanted career, and she
wanted to waste no time about it,
and she was delightfully."- certain
that the path to it lay through
some dramatic or art school to the
stage or studio.
Jim laughed at her and teased
her; but his father worried a great
deal. and when Stephanie realized
that he was worrying she became
reasonable about the matter and
said that the next best thing would
be college.
Dad" she said, "I adore dancing
and gay dinner parties, but there is
nothing else to them but mere danc-
ing and eating. The trouble seems
to be with the people-nice people,
of course-but-"
"Brainless," remarked Jim, look
ing over his evening paper.
No; but they all think and do
the same things. They all have
the same opinions, the same out
look. They all read the same books
when they read at all, go to see
the same plays. visit the same peo-
pie. It's jolly to do 1t two or three
times; but after a little while YOU
realize that all these people are
restless and don't know what to do
with themselves; and it makes me
