THE RUSSIAN SITUATION.

A movement to convince the world
that It is its, duty to go to the rescue
of starving and disease stricken Rus
STA is well under way. America has
done more than it's share in provid-
ing for the destitute and suffering
people of Europe, but probably will
be ready to do more. But in the case
of Russia certain conditions first
must be complied with. Secretary
Hoover has demanded as a quid pro
quo for aid, the release of Americans
from soviet prisons.
Russia seems powerless to help
herself unless she can obtain recog-
milton OF the existing government by
the nations of the world or at least
the restoration of trade relations.
Here she again encounters an ultima
tum issued by Charles E. Hughes,
American secretary of state, who says:
production is conditioned upon the
safety of life. the recognition of firm
guarantees of private property, the
sanctity of contract and the rights of
free labor. II fundamental changes
are contemplated, involving due re-
gard for the protection of persons and
property and the establishment of
conditions essential to the mainte-
nance OF commerce, this government
will be glad to have convincing evil
dence of the contamination of such
changes" declared Mr.. Hughes, "but
until this evidence is supplied this
government is unable to perceive that
there is any proper basis for consid-
ering trade relations"
Russia" declares Senator France,
lis reverting to capitalism inevIta-
bly,, by the play of resistless natural
forces. The Bolshevist leaders, far
from attempting to impede the proc
ess. recognize its inevitability and are
framing their laws accordingly"

capitalistic theory. Whether the

ment, like a colossal engine, when

some time to come, will be a
sufferer from the ideas of LNnin

lence and gross immortality must
take their toll of human lives
before the state is cured. The humors
and infections must be thoroly purged
before Russia is permitted to take its
place in the sisterhood of nations.

Dorothy Dix Talks

By DOROTHY DIX
Worlds Highest Paid Woman Writer.

Efficiency-1.
A woman writes me that her hus-
band has died leaving her with two
little girls, and fifteen hundred dol
lars, and she wants to know how she
shall invest the money.
Well, if I were in her place, after
had put the Children to bed, 1 would
sit down and have a good long heart
to heart session with myself. and try
to take stock of my abilities. would
put aside the vague dreams that every
woman has in which she pictures her.
self as a world famous writer, with
six best sellers to her credit or as a
star with her name in electric lights
over a theater door on Broadway and
people fighting to buy seats to see her,
or as a movie queen of transcendant
beauty who draws salary that she
has to carry home on a truck.
No. I'd kiss these visions goodbye,
and recognize once and for all, that
God has to make a woman writer,
or an actress, or a beauty of the silver
screen. 1t isn't anything she can do
for herself. no matter how hard she
tries, or how much she would like to
be one. Then I'd get down to hard
pan, and attempt to<dig out whatever
germ of talent had. Perhaps I
wouldn't be conscious of having any
special ability in any particular line,
some aptitude in some definite direc-
ton.
I should ask myself: What do do
best? What am 1 most interested In
doing? Cooking? Keeping a nice
house? Washing? Shopping? Sew
ing? Am 1 clever. at accounts and
quick at figures? Do like to handle
beautiful fabrics? Have I a good fig
ure, and a natural style and grace in
the. way I wear my clothes? Do 1
spell we'll, and have I a good English
education and some little turn for
writing a good letter? Have I a pleas
ing personality and do 1 make friends
readily?
should try to put vanity aside and
get my real number, for I should
know that my success or failure de-
pended on the estimate I made of my
ability being correct. Then 1 should
try to find out the kind of work that
1 enjoyed doing most, because we
never really do any work well that we

job to make a good job of 1t.
If liked to cook, and found real
pleasure in keeping a clean and or
derby house, 1 should start a board
ing house. If 7 adored sewing. I
would become a dressmaker or a mil
liner II a new hat thrilled me like
a strain of music, and never saw a

their motors were burned out by light

suspended as long as it was on this oc-
casion, it was said at the company's
offices this morning.
While there were no washouts on
any of the suburban lines, several
cars, were marooned by high water
and did not reach the barns until or
4 o'clock this morning. Surface water
from the streets caused most of the
trouble and great quantities of dirt
buried the tracks in a number of
places.
A Conntry club car was held on the
end of that line until o'clock this
morning because of high water over
the tracks at Twenty-fourth street.
This water came from Shunganunga
creek.
Two-cars were tied up in North To-
peka until early this morning. One
was a Lowman-North Topeka car
which encountered high water between
Saywell and Kious streets. and the
other was Shorey car which was un-
able to stem young flood at Topeka
avenue. The Shorey line was not
opened for traffic until o'clock this
morning.
State hospital. Melrose and Gage
park cars were held out on West Sixth
avenue by high water at Sixth and
Western and also at Sixth and Tyler.
A South Topeka car was tied up on
South Kansas avenue by water at
Eighteenth street
Washburn-Douthitt cars came to a
standstill between Fillmore and Clay
streets when water from Central Park
turned Sixteenth street into a river a
foot deep. Before service could be re-
sumed, it was necessary for men to
clear the track with shovels as dirt
and cinders had buried the track. The
cars on this line encountered the same
kind of trouble between Polk and
Tyler streets. where a portion of the
alley extending north between these
two streets was left on the track. The
dirt at that place is a foot deep in
the street and was washed over the
curb on the south parking.

presence of Morton. Then she rose
from her chair and before Morton
could rise from his chair she planted
a kiss on his cheek by way of mother

Then Penley Bradley himself ap-
peared and the guests delayed depart-
ure still longer, for Mr.. Bradley had
brought still more delicacies that suf-
feed for an informal supper.
1t was after Morton had departed
and Alice had gone to bed that Mrs.
Bradley thought to inquire as to the
miraculous appearance of Morton and
the tea equipment. TT was a simple
matter" said Mr.. Bradley, laughing.
1.-The thing was all cooked up. We
knew what sort of service you'd get
at this hotel. I got in touch with
Morton and we ordered the things
from the club chef this morning.
Morton went over in a taxi to get
them, and telephoned the steward
here to stop operations on the tea or

party to be a success"
Mrs. Bradley's eyes filled with
tears. "Penley." she said huskily.

II think I'll give up this sort of life
and the job at Burton's. I'd like to
settle down in the suburbs, some

The effort of the Kansas public
utilities commission ITO prevent the
railroads of the state from complying
with the orders of the interstate COM
MERGE commission in regard to the
advance in freight rates has ended as
it was inevitable from the first that
1t would end, in the defeat of the COM
mission. 1t may IS well be recognized
now as at some future time that the
interstate commerce commission is
running the rail transportation bust
ness OF this country. 1t has the au-
thorfty of congress to do so and
against its rulings legislatures, COM
missions and courts are powerless.
Why must the taxpayers of Kansas be
put to continuous expense merely that
certain persons may make showing
of earning their salaries? The waste
of money incident to tho upkeep OF
tie public utilities commission is great
enough without adding to it the cost
of unnecessary and hopeless litigation.
