SOUP LUXURY IN M|AR-T0RN RUSSIA

Berifn-There is a class system in Russia more rigid than in what the Bolsheviki call the ''capitahstic coun- tEies and it even extends to the manner in whicE soap is rationed, says M- Schwartz, the San Francisco Socialist, who recently was released from prison in Moscow and sent with his dying wife to the Esthonian bor- der.
 Before I went to Russia and saw the Soviet government at close range, believed Lenine and Trotzky were really trying to do away with the class system" said M. Schwartz in ; telling many interesting details of his sojourn in the land of the Soviets, .sIpplementfng the statement which he made immediately upon his ar rival here.
 ''I soon found out in Petrograd and Moscow and other Russian cities and villages that the class system under < the Bolshevists is more fixed than in capltaistlc GAP countries, he went on
 This system is administered with utter disregard for human rights ' and the teachings of modern civiliza- ton.
 'LenaRe and Trotzky and their as sscIates at the top of the scheme enjoy the greatest luxury. There is ! plenty of food for the commissars, : but the folks further down the scale are rauoned ccord1ngly to their at htude toward the government.
 'tEven the soap is graded accord j ing to the class system. The com { n1issars have good toilet soap. Slight { ly Jess desirable soap is given to their ] Immediate subordinates and there { are third and fourth grade soaps for those further away from the Kremlin crowd The fellow who gets the 2 fourth grade soap must have a terri ble time scrubbing up with it for it
 is about like punice stone
 '-I can't see why laboring people
 the world over should support < another kind of class government in Russia, a class government which is
 ruthless, brutal and unjust to a de
 gree that would overthrow any sci army said MT. Schwartz My fel- -1 low workers in England and America V have been hoodwinked, many of them, by such men as John Reed and other communists who didn't knd6H~ the Russian language"

WANT PIED PIPER
 FOR BOSTON RATS

Boston-Ratsi Rats! Rats! RatsI
 Hundreds of them, and every last one a possible carrier of plague, the deadliest foe medical science has to fight, are being exterminated by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health, cooperating with the City Health Department.
 The average daily catch of the 4e0 traps the rat catchers are putting out is more than hundred and the num- Der is increasing all the time.
 So says H. c. Mosman of the State Department, regarded as one of the most efficient rat catchers in the United States.
 Mind you, there is no need for being alarmed. The situation is well in hand, and the work of exterminat- ing the rodents in Boston and vicinity is going forward steadily. But there Is always the need for precaution ana the preventive measures.
 Tn Boston we have a gang of men at work along the water front utiliz- ing the $5,OO0 appropriation made last year by the Legislature for the work It is not enough, from our point of view, for so long as a single infected plague rat is loose in the city there is danger of an epidemic"

CHAPTER TWO
The Founding of the PhyIIistines.

The Founding of the Phylistines.
One little word largely accounted
for the success of ]. Patterson Bing.
1t was the word 'no." 1t saved him
in moments which would have been
full of peril for other men. He had
never made a bad investment because
he knew how and when to say no"
1t fell from his lips so sharply and
decisively that he lost little time fin
the consideration of doubtful enter
prises. Sometimes it fell heavily and
left wound for which Mr.. Bing
thought himself in no way RESPONSE
BILE. There was really lot of good
will in him. He didn't mean to hurt
any one.
thine is a thing of great value and
what's the use of wasting it in idle
palaver?" he used to say.
One day, Hiram Blenkinsop, who
was just recovering from a spree met
Mr.. Bing at the corner of Main and
School streets and asked him for the
loan of a dollar.
"No3 sir!" said Mr.. j. Patterson
Bing, and the words sounded like two
whacks of hammer on nail. mo
SIR" he repeated, the second whhck

about Bing he wouldn't be holding his
head so high. Judas Iscariot and j.
Patterson Bipg We're off the same
bush. These We're some of the things
that Blenkinsop scattered abroad and
they were, to say the least of them,
extremely unjust. Mr.. Bing's inno-
cent remark touching Mr.. Blenkin-
sop's misfortune in not being a hired
girl, arose naturally out of social con-
ditions in the village.
Furthermore, it is quite likely that
every one in BingviHe, including those
impersonal creatures known as Law
and Order would have been much
happier if some magician could have
turned Mr.. Blenkinsop into a hired
girl ana have made him a life mem
Der of "'the Dish Water AristOcracy,"
as Judge CrOoker was wont to call it.
The community of Bingvlle was
noted for its simplicity and good
sense. Servants We're unknown in this
village of three thousand people. 1t
had lawyers and doctors and profess
ors and merchants-some of whom
were deservedly well known-and J.
Patterson Bing, the owner of the pulp
mill, celebrated for his riches; but
one could almost say that its most
sought for and popular folk were its
hired girls. They were few and sniffy.
They exercised care and discretion in
the choice of their employers. They
regulated the diet of the said employ
ers and the frequency and quality of
their entertainments. If 1t could be
said that there was an aristOcracy in
the place they were it. First, among
the Who's Who in Bingville, were the
Gilligan sisters who worked in the big
brick house of Judge Croker; another
was Mrs. Pat Collins, seventy-two
years of age, who presided in the kit
chen of the Reverend Otis Singleton;
the two others were Susan Crowder,
a woman of sixty, and red-headed
girl with one eye, of the name of
Featherstraw, both of whom served
the opulent Bings. Some of these
hired girls ate with the family-save
on special occasions when city folk
were present. Mrs. Collins and the
GilliganS seemed to enjoy this privi-
lege. but Susan Crowder, having had
all ancestor who had fought in the
Revolutionary war, couldn't stand it,
and Martha Featherstraw preferred to
e0t in the kitchen. Indeed there was
some warrant for This remarkable sit
uation. The Giligan sisters had a
brother who was a magistrate in
large city and Mrs. Collins had son
who was successful and popular
butcher in the growing city of Hazel
mead.
That part of The village known as
Irishtown and settlement of Poles |
and Italians furnished the man help in
the mill, and its sons were also seen |
more or less in the fields and, gardens. |
Ambition and education had been |
in the minds of the young in |
and about Bingville FOR two genera
tions. The sons and daughters of |
farmers and ditch-diggers had read |
Virgil and Horace and plodded into the
mysteries of higher mathematics. The
best of them had gone into learned
others had enlisted in the
business of great cities; still others
had gone in for teaching or srenag-
raphy.

Ikea shepherd Of old, keeping the
wolves from his flock, 1t was the
parish priest who first called him the
Shepherd Of the Birds.
Just OPPOSITE his window was the
stub of an old pine partly covered
with Virginia creeper. Near the top
of it was a round hole and beyond it
a small cavern which. held the nest
of a pair of flickers. Sometimes the

hers looking across at Bob. Pat
Crowley was in the habit of calling
this garden Moran City wherein the
stub was known as Woodpecker Tow

Fifth avenue, while the widows cot
tage was always referred to as City
hall and the weathered shed as the
tenement district. s .a.,..,.
What theater of unprecedented
art was this beautiful, big garden of
the Judge! There were those who felt
sorry for Bob Moran, but his life was
fuller and happier than theirs. 1t is
doubtful if any Of the worlds travel
ers ever saw more of it's beauty than
he.
He had sugared the window-sill so
that he always had company-bees
and wasps and butterflies, The latter
had interested him since the Judge
had called them 'stray thoughts of
God" He loved the chorus of an Au-
gust night and often sat by his win
dow listening to the songs Of the tree
crickets and katydids and seeing the
freely lanterns flashing
among the flowers.
His work was painting scenes in the
garden, especially bird tricks and at
titudes. For this, he was indebted to
Susan Baker, who had given him
paints and brushes and taught him |
how to use them, and to an unusual |
aptitude for drawing.
One day Mrs. Baker brought her |
daughter Pauline with her-a pretty !
blue-eyed girl with curly blonde hair, |
four years older than Bob, who was
thirteen when his painting began. The /
Shepherd looked at her with an ex-
,lam2ti of delight; until then he had
never seen a beautiful young maiden.

working folk had come to his room
