they learned, and respect is one OF
the important qualities to a happy

an, "the home should be soothing,

upon the wife to make it so. Before
I was married my sister kept the
apartment for me. She had never
held an Office job, and as I look back
now know that she had no concep-
tion Of what l did all day. But the
way in which she expected me to go
to the theater or out to dinner with
her every evening nearly ruined my
disposition. She often said, when
was particularly impatient, You are
out meeting interesting people all
day and I haven't talked to soul
except the iceman.'

to have traded places with her for a
few days, just to let her meet the
so-called interesting people, but
don't suppose the firm would have
stood for it. Now that l have kept

arguments. But she ought not to
have been so dependent on me for
her entertainment She should have
been able to get out and find her
own amusement"

WASHINGTON, Jan. 17.--Rsmofal OF
the blockade on Soviet Russia has
Knocked one of their greatest props
from under the Bolshevists. Herbert
Hoover said in statement here to-
night.
Speaking OF his knowledge OF world
conditions. the former director of Eu-

laid every failure OF Socialism on the
blockade and used it al stimulus
for raising armies. on the ground that
the Russians were lighting to save
themselves from starvation.
With the blockade removed IN large
part. Mr. Hoover said. the "Bolshevist
tyranny" will face collapse when 1t
fails TO relieve suffering.
MIR. Hoover thought Russia had no
comm oddities, wheat, flax or cotton, for
export, since starvation IS acute in
the larger cities and the people al
most In rags. The peasants were sa id

Il have advocated ever since last
winter" Mr. Hoover said. that the
blockade on Soviet RussM should be
removed on everything except arms
and munitions. not because / believe
It would do the Bolshcvist tyranny in
Russia any good, but because l believe
the removal OF the blockade will take
out from under them one of their
greatest props. For the past year tIey
have laid every failure OF Socialism
on the blockade. They daily and hour
ly blamed the allied blockade for the
shortage of food, clothing and agricul-
turai implements, and the misery that
has arisen therefroN, and they have
succeeded In irpress!nE this upon an
ignorant people. They have also used
