Black Bread Not
So Easy to Get as
Silk Sox in Russ

Moscow, March 27-Moscow has be-
come more than ever a city of con-
trasts in this first winter of free
trade under Communist rule. Black
bread, the staple food of most of its
inhabitants, grows dearer and scarcer
nearly every day but chocolate
creams, sweet pastries, silk stockings
and Paris gowns become more plenti-
full though high priced.
The famine throughout a great
section Of Russia grips tighter and
kills faster than grave diggers can
work but many Muscovites are eating
more, drinking more and wearing bet
ter clothes than for years past and
are burning all the wood they can
buyy.
Many others struggling on compar-
atively low wages or no income at
all against increasing prices and fiuc-
tuating currency, are huddled in
heatless rooms with little to eat. =
A considerable quantity of cotton
goods from some of the Russian fac
tries has appeared in the cooperative
shops and the market stalls and there
is very limited showing of wooden
stuffs but it is easier to find silk than
Bingham, satin, than serge and lace
than worsteds.
New restaurants, with white linen,
rare porcelain, high salaried orches-
tras and closely written menus foot
long, are opening to cater to crowds
that mingle with the sleek, white-col-
Jared, newly prosperous traders with
sprinkling Of unshaven dark-shirted
and sometimes unwashed diners who
appear too content with their lot to
bother with BARRIERS or washwomen.
Wine is now sold secretly and soon
will be sold openly under license in
these restaurants. Bootleggers call
daily on many strangers, offering
vodka and cognac.

WANT LIGHT ON LAWS
FOR VACCINATION
Compulsory Treatment Will be
Advocated il Not Now
Effective.

DIR. r. s. McBirney. secretary Of
the Board OF Health. has written to
DR.. Luther S. Conwell. secretary of
the State Board of Health, for complete
information relative TO the state laws
dealing with the vaccination of the
children attending the public schools
in Delaware. There appears to be
some difference of opinion among the
medical men on this subject. especial
ly an to just what these laws require
of the child and II is to straightSn out
this matter that DR.. McBirney has
taken this action.
This. it is understood, may be merely
the forerunner of very stringent en-
forcement in this city of any laws that
may exist for the compulsory vaccina-
ton Of all the boys and girls in the
public, parochial and private schools
Such a move. 1t Is expected, will meet
with much opposition from parents
and physicians also but the health au-
thorities are very anxious to throw
every safeguard about the children
lattending the schools and II the pres
ent state laws are found inadequate
they may endeavors to have then
amended or new ones adopted.

Board Of Educ alton Adds $780,

At special meeting last night. the
Board OF Education decided TO increase
the amount OF insurance policies held
on the public schools and their con-
tents by 100000. This will make the
total amount of insurance carried s2,-
$4,000 and will increase the premium
$500 a year.
Attention was called to the fact that
the board has contracted to pay sal
aries this term amounting 10 $8eb, 900.
although the amount or money In sight
to cover this expenditure is only 1861
900. Shermer ii. Stradley announced
that the board is starting the new
term with deficit OF approximately
$42,0 900.

that 1t was not justifiable. The in

amount OF insurance carried on schoo
