Even the theatre advisory committee nominated by the players-they are not really SoViets- have fallen out of favor and now ex- ercise little influence on the manage ment- Our players naturally experi- enced some difficulty at first in get ting used to the new conditions-not- ably the absence of press publicity and the new 4ype of audience"
 Did not the Russian actresses greatly miss newspaper publicity" I asked. At first they certainly did '' replied MT. Ekskuzovich. but we soon found shat the public was as quick to recognize ability as in the old days We organized special per- formances for professors, critics, ar lists, musicians and people of taste in general with the result that theatrical regulations have been formed in that way instead of, as formerly, by the newspapers"

jhicago Co-Eds Say Love and Marriage Cannot Be Determined By Dollars Per Week in These Par lous Times.

Chicago, Dec. 9 - Love and mar riage cannot be determined by dol lars per week, according to co-eds at the University of Chicago and at Northwest University.
 While they agree that love hasn't much of a chance and matrtmony Is likely to be a failure on less than from $50 to S75 per week these days, view that when the right Prince Charming comes along he Is usually accepted flor better, for worse." with out any undue emphasis put upon the size of his pay check.
 Money won't count at all when the ideal man comes along" said Miss Elizabeth Shclle, University of Chi cago co-eds. But isn't it funny there aren't as many ideal young men as there used to be?'
 Miss Helen Ahlstrom, senior and coed editor at Northwestern Univer- sity, said if she insisted on her future husband earning $50 a week, s75 week, s100 a week, Or any set amount. she might never get married at all!''
 When the right man comes along" she said, i've won't worry about the money part of the bargain. We'll get along somehow"

 "But there are exceptions, mark you!' she added.
 Salary doesn't count nearly so much as team work, according to Miss Jane Donahue, freshman, who said it all depends upon the man and the girl. They may have an income of $1,OOO 8 week and still not be hap py, or they may have to get along on $50 a week and still make marri- age "go."
 Miss Virginia Kendall, Wyvern Club, said $50 week was enough; two could live modestly on that sum.
 "Yes" added Miss Adelaide Scan Ian, fifty dollars a week Is enough but his father should be well fix ed"
 The lowest estimate of what two could live on and be happy was made by Miss Evelyn Carlson freshman, who thought S35 a week would do" A referendum of fifteen other co-eds disclosed estimates varying from $50 a week to S350 a week, and with one gfrl-and exceptionally pretty, too Asserting she wouldn't marry any man no matter what her salary.

 Sees 18th Century Play.
 I purposely displayed my departure from Russia in order to attend the opening of the Petrograd ballet sea- son, but an indefinite postponenIent caused by the illness of several of the principals deprived me of that pleas ure. Instead I attended the first per formance of the present season ln the Academic Theatre when a Russian eighteenth century masterpiece, "The Fruits of Unwisdom," was played. The audience, from the point of view of the spectator ignorant of Russia, w2s clearly more interesting then the play. The days in Russia are clearly over. I speedily observed, when the proletariat tHronged boxes and stalls.

LONDON, BOOZE CURFEW KEEPS
 ONE GUESSING
Varied Hours for Drinking in Several Districts Pug zles Visitors - Seasoned Hootch Hound Now Uses 8 Map.

London, Dec. - The booze cur few in London varies according to the district; so now the Londoner has to drink by the map instead of the clock.
 In Piccadilly, the Strand and a small portion of Oxford street you may drink to your hearts content until Big Ben has tolled his Hateful of that blesseed cordon your drinks are ruthlessly snatched away from you an hour earlier.
 You explain to him that the other side of the road happens to be in another municipal area controlled by a different set of licensing authorities, whose views on the morality of drinking after II at night differ from their more enlightened brethren or this side of the road
 But there was a law passed that one could drink in London until mid night says the foreigner. Why don't they obey the law, these licens- ing authoritdes?" The Londoner can only shake his head
 Map Is Great Help.
 The real hootch hound in London now goes about with a map. Some ingenious tippler has discovered that can start on carouse at II o'clock in the morning and with Il o'clock hours break drink steadily until mid night and still keep within the law
 start OH at henS1uSIOHs d very fashionable suburb of London, and continue there until half past three. Then take a bus to Stoke Newington, a half hours run There you drink until 10 o'clock and then return to the Strand area and carry on until midnight.
 Another of London's little liquor mysteries is the fact that if you fill your autom obile with cases of Scotch Irish or rye nobody can stop you, but should it be after s o'clock at night and you ask for a few SiphonS of soda or a few bottles of mineral water you will be refused; it is illegal to sell minerals. They come within the provisions of the early closing (Shop Hours act). a war measure not yet repealed.
 Again, one can purchase from the fashionable florist or fruit store car loads of expensive fruit and flowers at any hour of the day or night, but it would be "agin the law" for poor woman, or a rich one, to buy a penny roll from the teashop next door after s o'clock.
 Flowers and fruit come under the heading of ''perishable" and are not included in the provisions of the early closing act. Bread. tobacco and cigarettes are not perishable and, therefore, cannot be bought after 8 o'clock at night.

PLANS MADE TO
 REHABILlTkTE
 HAWAIIAN RAGE
Island Congress Passes Hawaiian Homes Act in Hope of Putting Natives Back on the Land-Ex- pertinent Next Year.

Honolulu, T. H.. Dec. The
 rehabilitation of the Hawaiian race,
 which 1n the lasl century and quar-
 ter, or since the advent of the white
 man, has dwind1ed from a sturdy
 quarter of a million to 25,000 souls, is a problem which has agitated the en- tire country during she past few years This agitation culTninated in the pas sage by the present congress earlier this year of the Hawaiian Homes Act, under which it is planned gradually to rehabilitate the Hawaiian race by put ting its people back on the land. The first experiment under the new act will be tried on the island of Molokai. starting probably early in 1922, and un il the experiment has been ip op eration for several years it's ultimate success or failure will be a moot ques- tion.
 In view of these facts it is interest

 mon missionaries in Hawaii for the past twenty-siN years, and that it has been previously tried out under shat game church in Utah, where the | Hawaiians had shown themselves to suits.
 Colony at Oahu In 1895 Samuel E. Wooley, president of the Hawaiian Mission, Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter Day Saints, collected a little gronp of Hawaiians
 at I4afe, on the northern coast of the
 Island of Oahu and then organized one of the most successful agricultural
 communities in the world. Starting
 viii a barren piece of land and a few houses, moved from their former sites to form little community, the Laie settlement has grown steadily until now it's 500 citizens, dhe majority of
 whom are Hawaiians own 5000 acres of the richest sugar land in Hawaii

 Just why this community experi- ment has been so successful is eN- plained in a few sentences. First, the sense of proprietorship by being a1 1otted each a small piece of ground for which a nominal rental was charged I

WILL NOT
 DECREASE IN PRICE

Chicago, Dec. 2 Secondhand diamonds bought up by merchants in Europe from bankrupt princely fam lilies and distress diamond bought during prosperity and now thrown on the market dn America and other countries, will have no appreciable eff feet in reducing the price of dia- nonds. These gems have come into the market in considerable quantities. Large quantities of diamonds came out Of Russia. The jewels of the crown collection, it is believed, have been cut up to hide their identity and sold throughout the world by the Bo1shevilxd.
 During the war period of bonanza wages the world went diamond crazy. As soon as they got 8 little more money than enough to live on peto- pie rushed to jewelry shops to buy

diamonds. For the first time in his- tory diamonds became a popular jew el among the working classes. In the present industrial depression many of these diamonds are being sold.
 While the aggregate value of these resold diamonds of impoverished mo- bles and no longer affluent laboring men is large, they are a mere drop in bucket in the worlds diamond mar ket. If one buys from private individ- uals one may chance to pick up a bargain. But trade prices of dia- monds will not be affected by these gems.
 The syndicate which markets the entire rough output of the South Afri- can mines and controls diamond prices has announced that the price of dta- monds will not comed own. This is the ultimatum monopoly. It means xactly what it says. There can be no appeal from it. Traders must buy at the syndicate's price and sell at a corresponding price or go out of bus mess.

London, Dec. The reaction against the extreme tendencies in re- 1igion. family life, marriage, and poli- tics, which is now occurring in Rus sia, has also had it's influence upon the stage.

Second com rnunity life of all sorts, particularly musical was given every encourage ment and received a ready response from the Hawaiians. Third, non-re- igious schools were established teach ing beside ordinary school subjects citizenship. And last but in many ways most important work was fur nished for any man who wansed to work principally on such community enterprises as new roads and build ings. Working along these lines, with able leaders, the Hawaiians have been found to respond readily and the success of this enterprise encourages tlCse who have in charge the larger work of rehHabilitating she entire Hawaiian race to believe that their work intelligently conducted will be a success and will restore to useful and active citizenship one of the finess races which has thus far come under American rule.

Trousers for Women? Some Say Aye
::.:::** MINISTER QUOTES SCRIPTURE. *"s
Others Haze Different Viewpoint

The Rev. Klein based his objec-
lions upon a verse in Deuteronomy
in which women who wear that
which "pertaineth to a man." are
declared " an abomination unto the
Lord"
Let 'em forget Deuteronomy
declared the Rev. Chauncy J. Haw-
kins, pastor Of Plymouth Congrega-
tional Church. Let 'em forget and
wear trousers If they want to. No
harm in it, whatever" =,
ut won't influence the salvation
of woman" decided the Rev. M.
A. Matthews, pastor of the First
Presbyterian Church. II think the
matter is not one of morals but one
of propriety. 1t is possible that
women should not wear trousers but
1 don't think that women who do
wear them are lacking in character
or morals and l am sure they will
not be damned for SO doing"
So, there are many men (and
women) and many minds on the
subject of what woman should
wear and what she can't wear with
out sacrificing her chances of bliss
in life to come. What think you?

PLNOCLE GAME STARTS MUSIC
GOLDENROTH GETS EXTRACTION

their credit. When the game ended
Golienroth owed SIPS, the debt be-
ing divided among the other three
players. After considerab bic argu-
ment it was decided that Hendles-
man, who had the SIS cash which
Goldenroth had possessed when the
game began, should take Golden
roth's check for $50, returning the
cash, as Geldenroth had to go to
San Francisco on an early morning
train.
Hendlesman went to the bank
some time later to cash Golden
roth's check and discovered that the
check had been dated two weeks
ahead. After waiting the two weeks
he presented the check again and
found that Goldenroth had stopped
payment, closed his account at the
bank and moved to Tacoma.
Goldenroth was arrested in Tao
oma last week and extradition pro-
ceedings started.

When Messrs Goldenroth, Els
berg, Boyer and Hendlesman sat
down for quiet game of pinocle
In the home of Mr.. Goldenroth at
Modesto, Cal, few weeks ago, little
did they dream that as result
thereof extraGition of Goldenroth
from Washington to California
would be sought and granted.
But such was the case, Governor
Louis F. Hart today honoring the
extradition requisition of the gov
ernor of California for the return
Of Goldenroth to Modesto to fact a
charge of drawing bank check
with intent to defraud.
Goldenroth's story of what oc-
cured. as related at the extradition
hearing is in substance that the four
gentlemen playing pinocle, at the
suggestion Of Hendlesman, changed
the game to poker. Goldenroth was
the only one with any money, he
having SIS. The others played on
