MOSCOW'S WHITE WAY
COSTL|EST Of ALL
Russian Cafes Put to Blush thu
Most 0rasping American
Profiteers.
BY Associated Press to Every Evening.

BY Associated Press to Every Evening.
Moscow, July 5.-(By Mail. After
ono or two visits 10 Moscow's newly
opened and gay summer cafes, foreigners
visiting Russia usually retire to their
rooms to diet Of crackers and cheese
and frantically telegraph home for more
money. The Russian capital has become
probably the most expensive city in
Europe from the standpoint of living
costs to the foreigner. Unblushingly the
restaurant proprietors furnish third rate
meals and demand prices which an
American summer resort hotel in the
height of the season would not even
consider. American war profiteers
were blushing, shrinking violets in CON-
parison with Moscow's get-rich-quick
trillionaires.
Two young Americans went to one
Of these restaurants and ordered beef
steak, an omelette, bottle of near beer
and two small cups of coffee. The check
was the ruble equivalent OF SIS. Four
others ordered small portions Of ice
cream decorated with strawberry and
thin slice from pear. Their check was
Sc. But it cost them another dollar
apiece in entrance fees just to get into
the place.
The restaurant pfoprietors say that
high taxes and the high costs Of opera.
tion make these charges necessary, but
their customers suspect they are tryins
to make back in one summer all tn,
money they sank in remodelling and
equipping their cafes.
Russians by the thousands pay thes,
prices without complaint, for they also
are spectators. A billion rubles day
or about $3.50, is considered a poo,
turnover for these spectators.
Foreigners, however, re in a differen
position. First of all they must pay tn
high hotel prices, for they cannot fin'
accommodations elsewhere, and whel
they buy rublcs they have to give III
real money for them, while the Russian
seem to pick them off trees.

NINE MULES NOT BLIND.
Beasts Of Burden Taken From
Shafts During Strike Dis
prove an Old Belief.

Hazleton, Pa, Aug. 10.--The con.
mine mule, which ordinarily spendsl
wears of his life in the darkness OF mine
tunnels far under ground, retains his
eyesight even though he does not use his
eyes.
So veterinarians in the anthracite
region have determined following exami-
nation of many Of the mules which have
been brought to the surface since the
mines closed down last spring. With this
announcement the veterinarians cx-
ploded a theory held by many for years
that because he did not have any use
for his eyes, the mule lost his sight.
The coal mine mule usually begins
life like any common farm mule. Once
he becomes n mine worker, however,
things change He is sent far under
ground into the dark workings of the
hard coal mines and there he stays, often
for the remainder of his life. Being a
hardy animal he sometimes mains
in the mines for 20 years without seeing
daylight.
When the mules were hoisted to the
surface and turned loose upon the COM
panies' properties some of them blinked
bit at the sunlight. When the veterin-
arians looked them over they found
their eyes were there and as good as ever.
