RUSSIA NOTED FOR
PECULIAR WAY OF
DOING BUSINESS

Odessa.-Business can be done
here in Russia but it must be done
the Russian way
Time has no value, but patience
flattery and a few cigarets will ac-
complish wonders. Foreigners have
learned that a Russian never gets
around to a business proposition
until he has first flatly declined to
have anything TO do with it. After
he has spent an hour or two ex-
planning why he cannot agree, he
will suddenly say, Very well, I'll
do it"
This is particularly true of So
Wet officials charged with issuing
the stamped documents, without
which foreigner can hardly move.
The officials find the most unreas-
enable excuses for not issuing doc
uments, but If they are allowed to
talk themselves out. then given a
cigaret and 4 few words about So
Wet efficiency, the permit usually
is forthcoming.
Frequently, after getting a per
init to do some certain thing, the
official to whom IL is directed will
noe recognize it. Traders doing
business in South Russia and Com
stantinople often present their
guarantees to Soviet officials in
these places only to learn that they
cannot be recognized. However. a
little flattery and a few cigarets
will usually bring a concession. Oft
ell more liberal than is called for in
the original permit

GIRLS WHO BOB
HAIR CAN'T ACT
AS INDIAN MAIDS

Lake Geneva, Wis, May 1S.-The
bobbed hair fad has proved an OBJ
stacle to the sponsors of the Lake
Geneva Historical Pageant which
is to be presented May 20. Hun
dreds of girls are to take the parts
of Indian maidens. but most of the
girls in this neighborhood have
bobbed hair and careful research
has failed to reveal an historical
reference to Indians with bobbed
hair. Fifty percent of the high
school girls assigned parts in the
pageant have been rejected be-
cause of bobbed hair and now
whenever a girl applies for a part
the first requisite is that she have
long tresses.
