RUSSIAN CLASSES
EXCHANGE PLACES
Former Peer Now Lowest
and Workers Highest in
Social Scale.
By the Associated Press.

MOSCOW. May 25.-For all the
troubles of the revolution, life in Rus
sia is reverting to about the same
general plane as under the rule Of
the cZars. according to the statement
of old residents of Moscow. There IL.
however, a complete rearrangement
of classes at the top and the bottom
of the social scale. with the bour-
geois still safely placed in the middle.
Merchants and others of the bour-
geois class who escaped the red ter
ror have again become merchants or
taken on pursuits similar 10 those
ttev followed under the Czar. The
less fortunate nobility. except its few
members VINO have become bourgeois,
now occupies the lowest rung In the
economic ladder The revolutionary
workmen. who are employed in high
official positions, occupy the prlrl-
legged position that once belonged TO
the nobility.
WorlSmen Own Autos.
The workingmen, who once walked.
ride in thu automobiles that formerly
belonged to the nobility. while the
nobility now walks, but the bourgeois.
just as always. rides in "droshkies
or one-horSe cabs. Less fortunate
workingmtn. who are not officially
employed. live on scale even less
bountiful than they did under the
CZar.
1t is not only in this arrangement
of classes that the similarity of Rus
sia today and before the war is be-
coming more pronounced daily. do
as you please, but don't bother with
politics." was the general creed of
Russian life under the old regime
Since free trade has been restored the
creed of the soviet regime might be
expressed in the same words. If one
did bother with politics under the old
regime. the old secret police got him
and did with him just about as they
pleased. If one today opposes openly
the communist oligarChy which now
rules Russia. its secret lolice get him
and he has no recourse.
No Free Press.
In neither case was or is there any
freedom of the press or real freedom
of speech. Just as before the revo-
luton, persons desiring today to form
political parties in opposition TO the
government now meet in secret places
and speak in hushed whispers.
Persons who have recently fallen
into the hands of the state political
department" as the successor to the
"cheka" is known, declared that, just
as this is nothing bat the cheka in a
reduced form, so was the cheka moth
ing other than an outgrowth of the
cars "okraina" or secret police. In
fact, many of the principal operatives
of these institutions have served in
their same positions throughout the
three changes of the name.

The Short Cut to His Heart

to do is to burn incense before, him by thei
shovelful the wagonload, the ton Tell
him that he is as beautiful as a Greek god
and he will think ycr eood-looking, no mat
ter how homely you are. Encore his every
story, repeat to ,thers in his presence the
wonderful thing he said at dinner last night,
ask his opinion on every question under the
sun, and listen as t. an oracle, to his re-
plies, and he'll think you are the most In
teresting woman he ever heard talk. Marvel
at how big, and wise, and strong he is, and
he will "ome to believe that you are the only
intelligent woman with sound judgment,
whom he has ever met.
Winning conceited man is as easy as TAX
ing pennies from blind baby. Just put
enough pep and ginger into the compliments
you brew to keep his vanity stimulated to
the top NOTCH and he will get % he cannot
do without it any ~?ore than drunkard can
his dram, and the purveyor of his favorite
brand of dope may marry him at her pleas
ure
Then there is the sentimental man, the
chap who tells you the first time you ever
saw him what beautiful eyes you have, and
that there is something strange about you,
different from any other woman he ever met.
The short cut to his heart is good hard
jolt.
He thinks all women are easy, and that
10 is irresistible, anu has only to fling lis
handkerchief to have the whole feminine
sex scramble for it.
The only woman he will ever really want
is the woman who makes him think that she
doesn't want him. Pass him over for some
less good looking chap, and he will begin
to take notice. Laugh at his love-mak1ng,
and you will pique him into wondering Il he
could make you listen, Make ngagem ents

furious with you he'.I get really interested.
It's the hussies that flout men of that cali
Der who hold their tickle fancy.
The sentimental man will always risk his
neck climbing up to get the peach that is
Just out IT his reach. He never has any ap-
petite for the fruit that falls into his mouth.
Then there is the hardest case of all, the
man who is Indifferent to women, who is
celibate by instinct, and through fear of the
high cost of matrimony. The way to his
heart, which is an armor clad fort, is along
the way Of good fellowship. You must play
his game, and sing the saga of the free life
of the bachelor mai -. even as he does that
of the bachelor man. Any display of sent1-
ment c. yearning towards domesticity would
send him scuttling for safety to his deepest
bomb proof cellar.
But you can work with him, and play with
him, and read with him, and make yourself
an indispensable companion until some day

how you have got past the sentries he kept
guard at the doors o. his heart and it is too
late to try to put you out.

heart il you have only the patience to study

receipts are worthless, payments made on
home of their own are substantial invest
-ent all title to independence. That the
cost of = .1r stands now approximately
where it did at the peak of wartime prices
serves as an impetus to the homecoming
movement throughout America. Progress
in this direction has been particularly graf
flying in Atlanta. A large portion Of the
city's remarkable building record for this
year is for dwellings,, most of which are to
be owned, not rented. The Atlanta Real
Estate Board is to be commended for en-
couraging a type of ambition and Of enter
prise that means 50 much to the strength
of the community, as well as to the happi-
ness Of the individuals and families con-
cerned.
The index of the Industrial Conference
Board is notable for another fact, namely,
that for four consecutive months there has
been little or no change in the average of
living costs. This, taken together with the
previous decline, indicates a stability that
augurs we'll. For While prices were un-
steady all interests were disadvantaged,
those of the consumer and the producer, as
we'll as of the merchant. To uncertainties
on this score were owing much of the de-
preston and hardship that attended the
reaction from war times. 1t is not to be
expected that prices will return to the 1914
level; in some instances, they necessarily
will be higher than now. But II they con-
tinue fairly stable, and free from artificial
interference the country will have good rea-
son to rejoice.

DOROTHY DIX TALKS
GIRLS club asks me if I will tell
IA them how to win a mans af-
n lection.


I wish 1 could supply the desired informa-
ton, but, alas, there is no do-this-and-you-
cannot-faiI recipe for manufacturing vamp
stuff as there is for making sponge cake. Ev-
cry son of Adam has chink in his armor
through which Cpid'o arrows can pierce, but
the trouble is that the weak spot is not al
ways in the same place. 1t differs in diff
ferent men.
So the tactics that would work on one oc.
cason, fail on another. Therefore the girl
who goes fishing for husband, must first
study h. fish, and see what kind of fly
he rises to, and bait her hook accordingly.
Just as a general proposition it may be
said that the shortest cut to- mans heart
is through beauty. Good looks are lure to
which only dead men fail to respond, but let
not this discourage the maiden who was not
around when nature was handing out the
prize packages in which she keeps her
peaches and cream compilations, and will
Lowry figures, and permanently waved hair.
In it's mercy Heaven made the average
man so blind that he cannot tell imitation
pulchritude from the real article. Nor can
he differentiate in his mind between a
woman and her clothes
All he gets is the general effect, and he
will think any woman pretty who is neat
and tidy, and who has something soft and
white and frilly around her throat, and who
knows enough to powder her nose, and not
wear shoes that are run down at the heel
1t is cheering to observe that although all
men profess to worship feminine bes uty,
there are very few married ladies among our
acquaintance who ar any rivals of Lillian
Russell.
Therefore, after having taken the precau-
ton general principles, of making your
self as good looking as you can, turn your
attention to studying your man. Our grand
mothers held to the theory that the short
cut to mans heart was along the food
route. and their advice was Feed the
BRUTE
An excellent tip, but to be applied with
discretion. In the case of a widower, miss
ing home, comforts to which he has become
accustomed and sick unto death Of hotels
and restaurants, or even with young man
inclined to develop waist line before his
time, you can do no better than summon the
genii of chatting dist to your aid.
Nothing warns the cookies OF such a
mans heart as does a stomach that purrs
with delight as he eats Nor does girl
ever appear to such advantage as across
a little table spread for two, and if her
lobster Newburg, and angel food do not
make him pop the question, nothing ever
will.
More men, however, crave flattery than
are hungry for food. Hence observe whether
the man you desire is egotistical or not, and
if he is give thanks to Allah, for your vic
tim has been delivered into your han IS

The Index of Living Costs

the pinnacle of July, 1920, it is still
fifty-five and six-tenths per cent higher than
before the World War. This is according to
the index of the National Industrial Confer
ence Board, which may be summarized, for
all items, thus: July, 1914-10O; July,
1920-204.5; July, 1921-163.1; January,
1922-161.4; February-157.7; March
154.7; April-154.S; May-1549; June
1854; July-155.G.
Analysis shows that of all the items cloth
ing costs have declined most, and costs Of
shelter least. The former have fallen from
: 2SS in 1920 to 154 in July O. the current
year; the latter stood at 1855 in 1920 and
are still 165. Within the same period food
has dropped from 30 to 142; fuel and light
from 200 to ia; an( sundries from 1872 to
172. In this index the average working
family is assumed to spend 43.t per cent of
it's budget for food III for shelter, 1872 for
clothing, Sc for fuel AMI light, and 20.4 for
sundries. Evidently, then, there has been
substantial relief n the burden of living
costs for the rank and file, notably in the
imp ortant items of food and clothing, though
hardly at all in shelter.
The latter problem should be much sim
plifed and ultimately solved, as far as So
luton can b. expected, by the growing ten
dency to home ownership. More and more

LABOR AND DEMOCRACY
By DR.. Frank Crane

William L. Higgins, the presiding judge
Of the Kansas court of industrial relations,
has just gotten out book allied Labor
and Democracy"
1t is a volume that ought to be widely
read by the people Of the United States
Kansas is making an honest and intelli-
gent effort to solve the industrial prob
lem in the only way that it can ever be
solved, which is by the machinery of demo-
cratic government.
Whether the Kansas method is perfect
or not, it is at least a whole lot better
been brought forward.
Judge Higgins sticks close to common
sense and to fundamentals. He reminds
us that the very foundation of the prin-
ciple Of democracy is the rule of the ma
jority and the willing submission of the
minority to that rule.
The root cause of most Of the industrial
trouble is that the rule of the majority
as expressed in government is being con-
stantly challenged
There is a widespread belief that big
concerns take advantage of economic con-
ditions to prey upon the general public
by all sorts of trickery and in violation
of the will of the majority as expressed
in the laws.
On the other hand, the belief is preva-
lent that labor organizations claim the
right and exercise the power to prey upon
the general public by demanding that only
members of their union be employed in
essential industries, by limiting the num-
Der of laborers through unionization, by
increasing the wage, by shortening the
hours, and by denying any except Or
ganized working men the right to par
ticipate in the business activities of the
country.
Both Of these movements are evil. 1t
does no good to call them fine names or
camouflage their purpose by technical
terms.
Economic pressure" has a harmless
sound, but what it really means is war.
The methods employed in strikes and
lockouts are the hardest upon the poor,
the weak, and the helpless. In fact, the
ways of present industrial warfare are
quit as dspicable as the ways of the
German junkers.
| What we are up against in this war
is the impotency of government.
The nation is now torn by warfare be-
tween employers and employees in the rail-
road and mining industries. And all we
| get from the government that is sup
| posed to keep the peace and act as UNI
pire is an occasional threat to slap some
body on the wrist unless he behaves.
| We adjudicate contracts and questions
of property, marriage and DIVORCE and even
| questions of life and death through our
| courts; why in the name of sanity cannot
| industrial disputes be adjudicated by the
| same means?
This is the question that Kansas is try
| ing to answer and the question about
| which Mr.. Higgins writes with clarity and
| conviction.

the stomach, if not as inflexible as a sauce
