SEEDS
IN RUSSIA SELL
DEAR ASFOOD
Bring so, 900 RoubIes a Tum-
bIerfuI Among Hungry
People.
By international News Service.

MOSCOW, April 8.-The sunflower
seed Is the chewing gum and the
peanut of Russia.
Wherever you go you will see some
one with a pocketful of these black
seeds. People are always munching
them. They are as thick as parrots
in splitting the seeds with their
teeth and swallowing the soft inter
ior and splitting out the hulls.
The sunflower seed has always
been a national habit in Russia, just
as chewing gum and peanuts have
been in America, and in these days of
food scarcity and enormous prices
II has become a staple diet. There Is
only a very small amount of nourish-
ment in these black seeds, but they
provide some bulk and help to deceive
the stomach into thinking 1t has had
some real food.
Walking along one of the principal
streets of Moscow, where everyone
is trying to sell something, from
wood and furs and cigarettes to sam
ovars and embroidery and black
bread and ragged boots. one will see
many old women with baskets OF
sunflower seeds and small tumblers
to measure them out for the pur.
chasers. The customary price OBJ
served in Moscow Is $4,000 rubles a
tumblerful. In the old days this
would have ben s25. 200. but now II is
worth approximately five cents.
In the vast famine area Of the
Volga there is not a sunflower seed
left. Everything that a human be-
ing can possibly put in his mouth
and chew has been used for food.
Elm bark has been found ono Of the
most satisfactory food substitutes,
for 1t does no make one sick to eat
II. ,g
In one town on the Asiatic border
of Russia where the American Relief
Administration men were working
they saw muddy slime being sold on
the street for food.

wallace II. Hawkins was today
sentenced to one year at Occoquan
by Chief Justice Mccoy, presiding in
Criminal Court No. on a charge of
breaking into the Busy Bee Lunch
and helping himself to cigars and
cigarettes. Hawkins while at liberty
awaiting sentence fell into the hands
OF the police last night and Phar-
macy Inspector Sanders testified
that when searched there was found
a narcotic outfit on him and evi.
dence that he had recently taken
dope. Hawkins denied that he Is an
addict, and said he had used the out
fit as an exhibit In a lecture which
he was delivering In connection with
a motion picture depicting the evils
Of the drug habit. The court gave
him a year in Jail.
William Boehman, Edgar Y.
Adams, and William Erskine, all
white boys, were before the court on
charges OF housebresking. Boeb'
man was on parole from the training
school, and the court directed his re-
turn to that institution. The other
boys were sentenced to one year
each at occoouan and placed on pro

LOYAL IRISH to-

Fear Of Clash With Rebel SOL

To Free Staters.
BY DANIEL O'CONNELL,

DUBLIN. April 8.--An appeal 10
the Irish people to stand by the loyal
faction of the Irish republican army
supporting the Irish Free State was
issued today by General Duffy, COM
mander.in-chief of the Free State
troops.
"At this time" said the proclama-
ton, I'VE should all remember what
the people did for every individual
volunteer during the war when times
were dangerous. We are soldiers, but
we come from the people. We should
never forget the loyalty of the people
to us when the penalty of their sup
port was death. 1t would be criminal
to break the sacred alliance between
the people and the army. During the
war the people stood by the army.
Now II il the army's turn to stand
by the people and respect their
rights"
Each day brings a clash nearer be-
tween the Irish Free State troops and
the mutinous members of the Irish
republican army. The situation here
is very tense, as well as upon the
Ulster fontier. Tension in Dublin was
intensified by an attack last night
upon the headquarters of the Irish
Free State troops.
Republicans ousted the Free State
troops from the barracks at Rath-
farnham, taking over the Canton
ments themselves. The Free Staters
made no resistance.

LAW REFORMS
Pure Land Sect" of Buddhist
Women Demand Change
In Ritual.

The nuns Of Japan have become
infected with the doctrine of equal
rights for women.
Headed by 1000 nuns Of the Jodo.
shu, or Pure Land Sect" he re-
ligious women of the Buddhist faith
throughout Japan have launched a
campaign for similar treatment to
that accorded to monks Of the faith.
with some additions on account of
their sex.
During the present month at the
gathering of the JodD-shu. in Osaka
and Kyoto. according to advices just
received from Toxic. the nuns will
formally present their demands.
Foremost among these Is their plea
to be allowed to permit their hair to
grow instead of shaving the head,
as is now demanded by the ritual.
Throughout Japan Buddhist nuns
are obligated to shave the head. to
abstain from eating meat and to
remain unmarried. Similar obliga-
tions were formerly requisite for
monks, but of late years they have
been disregarded.
I'VE are only human beings, and
we experience the same feelings and
emotions as other persons" says a
"Why should we be forced to give
up our hair and be absorbed into the
spiritual world. while the men priests
are allowed to marry and eat meat
and while other women enjoy matri-
mony?"
Less than a year ago the nuns
voiced their dissatisfaction with
their lot and demanded reforms, but
they were silenced, mainly because
of their lack of organization. they
assert. Now that the movement has
spread to other sects of the Buddhist
faith, and the fighting spirit of the
women has become thoroughly
aroused. they believe their attempts
will be more successful.
Many other determinations in
favor of male members of the faith
are charged by the women. They
contend that the general tendency
nuns as inferior to monks
is unfair inasmuch as all are in the
service of Lord Buddha. Nuns, they
assert. are not allowed to officiate
at funerals. are forbidden to sit in
the main part OF the temple during
Buddhist ceremonies and. in short,
have been reduced to serving merely
as messengers or flunkias for the
priests.
Officials Of the churcn and OF ;he
are inclined to blame
the priests themselves for the wave
OF new thought which apparently
Is sweeping over the nunneries OF
Japan. During the past four or five
years the priests have been engaged
in a campaign for manhood suffrage
through the religious organizations.
