sheet, and the greater part of the
space is given over to long political
articles. The newspapers are pasted
upon the dead walls. Crowds gather
about them eagerly and scan the few
foreign dispatches. The great major
ity of readers show no interest in the
political leaders.
Shreet crowds in Moscow present
strange and varied appearance. I'm
less the weather is sunny and warm
therde are very few pedestrians in
the center of the city. Markets which
formerly existed near Opera Place
have been abolished and there are
few food shops in what was formerly
the great shopping center. In conse-
quence, most promenaders go to the
food-lined boulevards, and the slight
est threat Of rain drives the crowds
to shelter. Boots and clothing are
too precious to be exposed unnneces-
Sanlly TO Cne weather.
Really wen-dressed men and women
are never seen on the streets. There
is no starch. Therefore, soft collars
and shirts are necessity, and prac'
ticslly all me n wear dark gray or
brown shirts and collars.
Russia was always great on uni
forms. Railway employees and other
civil employees of the government wore
uniforms under the old regime and
still ching to the custom. Shabby
uniforms, or parts of uniforms, make
up the costumes of nine-tenths of the
men in the streets, and the second
hand clothing stalls display practi-
cally no clothing but uniforms.
Women have also awaited them
] selves largely of mems uniforms in
improvising costumes. Hats, coats,
waists and even shoes of army kha-
XII are seen everywhere among groups
of women. Tablecloths, damask cur
tains, furniture covers of large-fow-
cred cretonne, rich Persian shawls,
masquerade costumes and bright-col-
ored evening gowns have been adapt
ed to street wear. Fortunately, Rus
sian women have such an independ-
ent bearing and are such individual
lists that they show no embarrass
ment whatever in wearing any cloth,
ing available in this land so sadly in
need of cloth.

TWO GIRLISH HIKERS.

Two pretty 18-year-old girls are
walking from Cleveland to Los An
geles. They started from home Sep
TENDER 20 and within three weeks
had passed Kansas City. They are
carrying soldier packs and wear
knickerbockers. Wherever they stop
they find only courteous treatment.
They accept occasional lifts from
passing automobiles, but are pledged
to take no trains.
1t is pleasing to hear that two
young girls can travel thus across
America and have no unpleasant ex-
periences. That is the sort of coun-
try America is supposed to be, but
somehow its fair record has become
somewhat blurred of late.
Perhaps this helps to explain mat
ters: These young women mind their
own business sturdily as they trudge
along. If they accept lift, it is from
some person of evident fitness, not
from some leering che vamp' OF
group of reckless boys. The very
business-like way in which they &c
ahead leaves odoubt in any mind
as to the character of the girls them
selves, and this is their best protec-
ton.

NO LAUGHTER To
Be HEARD IN ALL
RUSSIAN COUNTRY
,Ry Associated P,.ss1


Moscow, Oct. 18-Russia is a smile
less land. In more thhan 1000 miles
of travel on Central Russian railways
and rivers the Associated Press CORE
spondent hasn't heard single hearty
laugh. The exuberance and oratory
of the first year of Bolshevism have
disappeared.
Speaker no longer tell of the glo-
ries of proletarian rule from the cor
ner curbstones. Red army soldiers
no longer jeer at the bourgeosie, for
all have settled down together to the
difficult task of getting enough to eat
and persons who have not tried exis-
tence in present day Russia have no
conception of how difficult it is to sat
isfy the most primitive human needs
there.
Nearly every man and woman met
on Moscow or Petrgrad streets today
is carrying some sort of food parcel
or bartering with food dealers on the
street corners. There is practically
no wood and coal is not dreamed Of.
Oil is the only fuel. Every family
has a primus on which the hot water
for tea and the simple meals are
prepared.
Under the housing system most
persons have only one room in which
to cook, eat, sleep and do washing.
All the talk one hears on the streets
is of food. There are laments every
where that the bread allowance isn't
regular and the frequent eXpressian OF
fears that the famine in the Volga
districts will make the bread supply
of Central Russia even worse.
Potatoes at 1000 rubles a pounc
are the cheapest food on the market
but 900 rubles is a small fortune t.
most of the population and it take:
lot of oil to cook potatoes.
/ The days of political strife are ap
parently over. Russians have tiret
of theoretical politics. The antiBol
tshevists no longer discuss the govern
ment. Paper DEGREES are showeret
Iunnoticed upon Bolshevists and non
Bolshevists alike. They are too bus!
in their strife for food and clothing
to worry about what is going on il
the Kremlin..
Streets without food shops are prac
tically deserted in all the cities. TIL
search for food is at once the worl
and the recreation Of the public
Boulevards are lined with food wag
ons offering fruit, vegetables, brea,
and eggs, and the people seem ia
more interested in these than in tn
listless pedestrians and the littl
bands which give occasional evening
concerts.
There seems to be no spirit of pla
left in Russia. Even the children ar
sad and quiet. Recently many to-
shops have reopened. The Sovie
government never requisitioned Noa
Arks and Teddy bears, so dealers i
that class of goods ar unlocking thei
old stocks and dressing Sata Clau
windows.
Few moving picture theaters ar
open, and those are given over chief
ly to government propaganda picture
The opera season has not yet opened
Dramas are offered in several les
important houses. 1t was in thes
theaters and in concert halls that tn
correspondent saw the only person
who seemed to relax and divorc
themselves from the gloomy Mosco7
atmosphere.
Moscow newspapers and the news
papers in all the leading Russian eli
les are little more than governmer
bulletins. Because of the shortnes
of paper they are generally only on

DIPLOMACY AND HEADLINES.

Secretary of State Hughes regis
tered strong disapproval when he
found the newspapers referring to
the coming conclave at Washington
as the disarmament conference"
He explained that the idea was not
disarmament" but reduction of ar
maments." He added that the proper
title would be Limitation of arma-
ments conference" or conference
for the limitation of ornaments"
A few newspapers followed his
suggestion for a few days. Now the
American press in general is using
the term EARNS conference" or
EARNS parley," with the latter pre-
ferred.
There is no mystery about it, and
no flippancy, and no disposition to be
disrespectful to the secretary of state.
Secretary Hughes has never been in
the newspaper game. The CORE
spondents knew what they were
doing when they wrote "disarma,
ment conference" and know still bet
ter now when they write "arms par
ley." Both terms are better than the
technically correct terms, because
they are shorter and more pungent

FOOL THE CUSTOMS OFFICERS
Canadian and Maine Farmers Said to
Have Ingenious Systems OF
Smuggling Devices.

Entirely aside from questions OF
tariff reform, reciprocity and free
trade with Canada would help to put
an end to the constant lawbreaking
that goes on along the border. It is
estimated that eight thousand persons
are engaged in smuggling goods across
the line.
One instance has been reported in
which a party of sch0clboys coasting
in an old pung down q hill that slopes
across the boundary, apparently for
fun, brought with them at every trip
chest of tea, until fifty chests had
been smuggled into Maine, contrary
to law.
Again, an "aqueduct" Of small lead
pipe, half q mile long, was secretly
laid from tavern in the Dominion to
public house on the other side OF
the line, through which hundreds of
barrels of gin and other liquors were
pumped. Nor are such "aqueducts"
always restricted to liquors. A wood
en- spout was used for years to convey
oats across the boundary.
The lawbreakers were New Bruns-
wick farmer named Cudley and a
neighbor across the line named Arm
strong. Armstrong raised about six
hundred bushels of oats on his farm
and sold ten times that quantity to
the lumber camps. The customs OIL
1,Sr
searched them at times, but were new
er able to discover anything wrong
until after he moved away, when they
found a square spout, made of boards
and buried under the snow and piles
of brush, which extended from Cud-
ley's barn to a bin in the Maine mans
granary. Inside this conduit was
long belt provided with tin cups and
attached to a winch that could be
turned by a crank in Cudley's barn.
