American Women Pay Too
Much Attention to Dress

London, April l2.-"You know, l
think American women pay too
much attentions TO their dress"
Lady Astor conhded to friends at
No. r St. James Square, her town
house.
That's what I've been preaching
TO my sister, she said. referring to
Mrs. Phipps, recognized as one of
tn best-dressed women in London.
American women, | believe, pay
far too high a price for what they
get out of fine clothes. \
TO my way of thinking, it's just
like drink-too low degree of en-
joyment for the effort. time and
money expended.
What women should do is to de-
vote more attention to things that
really matter in this world-clothe
their minds at leas! as much as their
bodies and acquire more mental at
tributes"

DECLINES AID TO EUROPE

Washington, Feb Europe, in
so far as the United States govern
men is concerned, must rely upon her
own resources in retrieving financial

This was the Interpretation here
generally of the letter Secretary of the

tee of the Chamber of Commerce OF
the United States, which sought gov
eminent expression on the proposed
international conference Of financiers
and commercial leaders to discuss re-
construction problems.
In blunt statement Of the facts as
he sees them, Mr.. Glass declared "the
American government has done all
that it believes advisable and practi-
cable to aid Europe The conference, /"
he added, would serve to cause con-
fusion and revive hopes, doomed to

HITS SOVIET SCHEME
Samuel Gompers DenounCes Plan
of Russian Government.
Labor Leader Says Constitution
Provides for Compulsory Labor
Strikes With Arms.

Washington, Jan. 3O.-Writing in
the current number of the Federation
list, official organ of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, Samuel Gompers
condemns bolshevism completely,
finally and for all time"
I'VE do not have to wait for infor-
nation about the form of government
existing in what is called soviet Rus
STA. All the information necessary to
passing of judgment on bolshevism
and the system Of government and as
a state society is at hand from anthem
tic sources.
1.-The plea of those misguided per-
sons in America who say wait for
facts before passing judgment is moth
ing more than an excuse, which, it is
hoped, will gain time for the Russian
experiment and enable it to spread to
other countries"
Quoting from the new bolshevist
constitution, Mr.. Gompers points out,
while the fifth Pan-Russian congress
declares for a dictatorship of the pro-
letariat and the poorest peasantry, a
great portion of the peasantry is dis
franchised, and the largest bolshevist
estimate Of the proletariat calculates
them as only one-fifth of the number
of peasants.
Mr.. Gompers quoted as the most di-
rect information dispatch from Rus
sian trade unionists to w. A. Appleton,
president of the International Fed
GRAFTON of Trade Unions, which de-
clares that bolshevists have split up
the reserve funds of trade unions,
throttled the labor press, killed labor
organizations, split up trade unions
as a class and put down strikes by
force of arms and plentiful execu-
tions."
in all concepts of freedom within
the American nation" Mr.. Gompers
said, lone fundamental principle is
that any involuntary seryitude, that
is, compulsory labor, shall not be en-
forced upon the working people"
