RUSSIA IS TERMED
 ECONOMIC VACUUM
Secretary Hughes Gives Out Adverse Report or Possible Trade
 Resumption.

Washington. April 1S.-Secretary Hughes, writing to Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor. who asked for a statement of the facts regarding Russia, indi- cates definitely that there is no pros pect of a resumption of relations with the United States while the soviet po- HticaI and economic system remains.
 The letter of the secretary of state makes direct reply to various state ments, characterized as propaganda. which contend that resumption of relations, trade or political, with the soviets would open great current of trade of advantage to the United States and that large shipments of Russian gold have already been made to other countries in payment for goods.
 Soviet Russia, Secretary Hughes de- clares, is gigantic economic vacuum and he adds that mo evil dence exists that the unfortunate sit uation is likely to be alleviated so long as the present political and eco- homie system continues

MRS. FIsKE PARSONS.

Probably there is no buster woman in public life than Mrs. Fiske, who brings her newest play, Wake Up,
 Jonathan" to the Parsons theater the last three days of this week, once
 more giving Hartford playgoers an op- portunity to witness one of her ve- hicles in advance of its New York presentation. And perhaps there. is not one that manages to accomplish more.
 Unlike most geniuses, she regulates her time systematically, and permits nothing to interfere with the routine that impels her to put every moment to some use. Mrs. F'iske long ago found that it was impossible to com bine social and professional activities. and. therefore, she denies herself many pleasures in order that she can give the best of herself to her work. Besides her acting, she carries on a multiplicity of affairs connected with various humane interests. She reads an extraordinary number of .manu- script plays. not only with a view to finding works that may be suitable to her own use, but because of her gen. uine desire to discover talent, and to give puromising youthful authors the benefit of her counsel and experience. In addition to this, she pursues a course of special reading, along lines that are stimulating to her thought, and yet, with all these demands upon her time, she manages to find oppor- tunity for rest and those recreations l'that her system of life permits.

organization of labor on such legiti-

in the right direction. At present,
however, the law in Egypt does not re-

WHY CAN'T PEOPLE ISSUE
AND USE THEIR OWN SCRIPT?

Ranger, Texas, June 30.-AIthough
Ranger citizens were without banking
facilities to-day. an effort was to be
made to aid creditors Of the Guaran-
ty State bank, by issuing script in ST.
and S. denominations good as tender
in any local place of business.
Both of the Ranger banks closed
their doors yesterday, but both were
said to be solvent. The Guaranty
bank failed to open for business yes
terday. The Farmers and Merchants
bank opened for business. but run
started shortly afte-ward The doors
were closed shortly before $4,000 in
cash arrived from Dallas.
Late yesterday seventy-five mem
bers of the Retail Merchants Associa-
ton met and decided to appoint a
head and allow creditors of the Guar
anty bank to assign their accounts to
him. He in turn would issue script
good in this city. The plan will be put
in operation if the consent of the state
banking board can be obtained.

RETURNING TO SAVAGE DAYS7
Feathers, Furs and Jewels, Now SO
Popular, Are Reminiscent Of Our
y Early Ancestors.

Glimpses of present fashions and
views of some shop windows lead to
the impression that the world is, after
all as some commentators say, revert
ing to the savage, remarks the New
York Evening Sun.
Women are wearing more and more
feathers in their hair and more and
more large and ornate jewelry upon
their hands and in their ears. Men are
showing a decided inclination to orna-
ment themselves to the limit of their
purses in these days of the high cost Of
clothes, and altogether anthropologists
tell us it is not such a very far cry
from the adornments of present-day
civilization to that of the Nealanthaler
man or the Garden of Eden itself.
The fashions of last winter showed a
prediction toward furs such as the
world has never seen since the days
when they were worn raw. Both men
and women wore them.
In milder climates women seem to
be wearing less and less. The stage is
noteworthy in respect to the unclothed
feminine back and certain sections of
society seem to follow the stage. Fash
ions return to Eve seems in ce%tain
cases to be mere matter of weeks, as
we progress in these swiftly changing
times.
