below that ngure in others. but the
latter arc few.
The ordinary fruit-stands are stIli
asking fabulous prices. Five cents for
"a ''measley" little apple is going some."
And other fruit is sold in proportion.
Housewives declare that. while the
cost of some Of the things they buy for
the table have dropped other high
figures are maintained. and some are
said TO be advancing. The price OF every
product into which wheat and corn
enter should be much lower. for there
has been a tremendous drop In the price
Of wheat and corn. The decline of
tho selling price of the finished product
has been not nearly so large "a 1t should

Skin Affections

Most skin affections are caused by

Makes Double Record.

McCandlcss finished his ship In record
time and for his trial trip made another
record by making the run from San
Fnucisco through the Panama cnnnl to
Hampton at n speed of thirty knots an
hour. After n short rest he took hor
across the Atlantic and made another
record I'm the war zone.
That's just an example of tho way our
destroyer boys went at the job and they
kept IL up until the last horn blew.
Their skill In navigating, In locating
conveys or vessels I'm distress or boats

canny. when the President Lincoln was

stroyers were $50 miles from tho scene.

OF Soviet Russia. The settlement Of
the Asia Minor question, in the view
of an authority on Near Eastern af-
fairs communicated to The Tribune,
cannot be undertaken without refer
encc TO the fate Of the countries in the
hinterland which lie even more nearly
under that shadow. These countries
are four - Georgia, Armenia, Azerbai-
jan and Northern Caucasus. They arc
known collectively as CAucasia. Ry
the bridgehead between Europe and
Asia, sort of halfway house on the
great international route between East
and West, connecting the Mediterranean
and the Dardanelles by the shortest
read with Central Asia, Persia and
India
These Caucasian states became, one
by one, the victims Of their north err
aud southern enemies OF Moscow and
AIgora. But their occupation by the
Rolshevik forces in conjunction with
the Nationalist Turks has transformed
Caucasia from geographical express
sion into potential political reality.
The four states. which had been car
rying on negotiations for defensive
alliance even before the occupation Of
their territories. have since established
an understanding between themselves
or The basis Of an arrangement nego-
tiated last June in Paris. The princi-
pal feature Of the agreement is the
creation OF customs union for all the
Caucasian states.
A. Gugushvili, OF the Georgian Lega-
ton now maintained in London. in the
Forthcoming "Asiatic Review says:
whether Russia is to pass through a
worse phase or not is matter of spec
ulation, but one thing is certain and it
IS this: that the future Of Russia is
vciled in uncertainty and obscurity,
and It Will not be inexpedient or un-
wise to consider establishing Gordon
between her and the vast continent Of
Asia, which, being easily suspcctble TO
infection. would be very apt to come
under the influence Of the decetful
tus very attractive Bolshevik doctrines
OF social and political liberty, thus in
vclvins not only the western European
powers, who have 10 small interest
there. but also the world in general
"The Cauca sian states clearly under
stand to-da. shat the establishment Of
close ana friendly union between
themselves - indispensable for the
consolidation Of their independence, as
well es for enabling Caucssia TO serve
as link between East and West and
thus between the Christian and Mus
su!man worlds. This aspiration both
for independence and close political
and economic union is natural; the
Gordon which they will represent also
will be natural and its concentration
will not require, on the part of the
western European powers, more than
n oral and diplomatic support
