systematic and diabolical attempt which the
Reds were making to destroy family life by
tempting mothers to surrender their children
to the State. Children who spent all day In
school got one free meal; children who lived
day and night in the school got three good
meals and were well clothed and cared for.
Mothers were almost forced to spend most
of their time at work in Government offices.

Save tfat the sedentary life he has led
during the last two years has made him
somewhat stouter. Lenine has altered little
in appearance since the day he presented
himself at the Russian frontier near Torneo,
tired, disheveled. accompanied by a crowd
of women and dsreputable looking men, at
one moment on the point of being refused
admittance and the next moment frantically
organizing an anti-war meeting among the
Russian soldiers and winning their applause
by his fierce denunciations of militarism.
He takes so little care OF himself in the
Kremlin that deputation of peasants which
once came to see him insisted on sending
him bread, butter and eggs from their viii
lage; and this lis only continuation OF the
life which he led in exile An intimate friend
OF his told me that when Lenine left Paris
for Switzerland his furniture fetched only
forty francs at auction.
A little known side of Lenines life is the
domestic side. The Red dictator is sincerely
attached to his wife. whose health 49, how

of children.

NEW FIRM ORGANIZED.

In the organization of the firm of
Marcus and Zimmerman, Minneapolis
and the Jewish people of the Northwest
have acquired much needed agency for
bringing them in closer touch with rela-
Europe. They have just returned from
Chicago where they succeeded in MAX
ing arrangements with Mr.. Bernard Hor-
witch, president of the Public State
Bank of Chicago, and president Of the
Joint War Relief Committee of that city,
for placing at their disposal all the
facilities of the Public State Bank which
has special representatives and branches
throughout the leading Jewish centers of
Europe. Z. Messrs. Marcus and Himmel-
man have opened offices at 638 Sixth
avenue north where they will transact
general real estate, insurance and in
vestments business along with their
foreign exchange, and steamship ticket
department. A notable feature Of their
service will be Free Information Blu
reau which will give information and
legal advice to those who have difficulty
in locating their relatives in sending
them funds or in bringing them over to
this country.
DIR. Marcus is we'll known in this COM
munity through his work as representa-
tive Of the Jewish Welfare Board dur
ing the war, and has established an en-
viable reputation as forceful public
speaker on Jewish topics. He is active
in all Jewish movements. Mr.. Himmel-
man, the other member Of the firm, is
an attorney and will bring to the newly
organized enterprise his extensive ex-
perience in the foreign exchange and
