common belief is that most Of the

compilation shows that less than 81
out Of every 500 paid in taxes goes
to meet state expenses proper. MI
Brown also finds that curing the last
year the biggest increases in expen-
dltures has been in towns and town
ships. rather than in the cities, which
expenditures, he points out, find ex-
preston in tax payments

SOVIET DRIVES OUT

SYMPATHETIC WORDS

MOSCOW, Dec. 6.-(By a Staff Cor
respondent Of The Associated Press)
Foreign hangers-On who have moth
ing but sympathetic words and prom
ises of world revolution to offer the
Soviet government are growing less
and less welcome here since the estab-
ishment Of free trade and the resump-
ton of CapitalistiC standards to a con
siderable degree,
The era Of free hotels, free automo-
bibles. free opera and free railway
fares is over. Government guest houses
have become hotels where foreigners
pay in foreign currency at rates com
parable to those of really good hotels
in New York, London or Paris.
In consequence there is a general
scrambling for cheaper quarters
among the strange international as
sortment of philosophers. poets. polit-
ical scientists, professors and near
professors who were attracted TO Rus
STA by the free signs and hoped to at
taCh their particular ism to the So
Wet government.
All Nations There.
Findus, Turks, Chinese, japanese,
Afghans, Persians, Kurds. Syrians.
Egyptians, Siamese Frenchmen Ger
mans British and Americans are
among the strange aggregation which
is having difficulty in reconciling
somewhat exotic views with the sud
den decision of the soviet government
that it needs money and must get it
by having Russians and foreigners
alike pay their way.
It's a rough end to a pleasant dream.
Professional proletarians don't like it
any better than parlor Bolshavists.
Many of the visitors are finding sud
den reasons for their return home, and
the influx Of foreign sympathizers is
declining.
Cloth merchants. foreign engineers
and food sellers are now coming.
There is far more interest now in
feeding and clothing Russians than
there is in liQuidating political litter
acy. Discussions Of soul culture are
making way for lectures on agriculture
and plans for getting more American

Edgar Dutch" Behren

Edgar Dutch Behren, snappy
fleet-footed third sacller of the Pops
is the baby of the Ardmore TO
team. Dutch is 19 years old, and was
born at Dallas, Texas. His first ex-
perience in professional baseball was
with the Eastland team of the West
Texas League in 1920, where he served
as utility player. Prior TO that time,
he played with independent clubs, and
was at one time q member of the Katy
team of the Dallas City League.
Dutch" who is also known as
wooden Shoes" learned most of the
enviable baseball education which he
now possesses on the back lots of
Dallas.
During the earlier years Of his life
he was q newsboy, and had always
been great admirer of the "big
leaguers." with an aspiration TO some
day become one of them. His per-
formances on the diamonds Of the TO
League this season give evidence of
the fact that his time for play in the
big show is not far off, and it win
not be surprise to his hundreds Of
admirers if he is there next season.
Dutch is single. and in explaining
that status Of himself, he states that
"he is willing TO fall when the right
girl comes along"
