PEASANTS FACE
 HORRIBLE r ACT
 BUT ACT N0BLT
Russian Peasants Sow Seed Knowing They Will
 Starve Before Harvest.

LONDON, Jan. 4-MajCr Philip H. Carroll, Moscow director of the American Relief Administration, who has just arrived in London, told the newspaper men here that relief of the famine in the Volga provinces was almost beyond the capacity on charitable aid.
 "Ever since June, 1919, I have been engaged upon relief work i'll Central Europe" he said. "but nowhere have conditions been as shocking as they are on the Volga today. In other countries under-nourishment was the principal cause, Of distress, but there it is starvation pure and simple. Our estimate is that there are 12,- O0Q 900 requiring assistance. Our most sanguine hope is to be. able to keep 1,0O0,000 children alive through this winter For thousands there is absolutely no hope, and the aggre- gate amount of suffering will be something appalling.
 Though we even have to feed chil- dren in the streets of Moscow and Petrograd, the greatest need is in the villages where the failure of the crops is most acutely felt. It is not an exaggerated fiction-would that it were-that peasants are living on roots and bread made from a mix ture of reeds and oily clay. I myself have handled this so-called bread and witnessed the terrible intestinal troubles resulting from the consump- tion of it.
 "The Soviet government is working very well indeed to reliev the dis tress They have carried out 60 per cent of their seed-sowipg program, but at the most this cannot bring in more than one-sixth of the average summer yield One of the most tragic thirgs I have ever seen was the spec. 2cle of those peasants, many of whom are facing starvation this winter, sowing their next years grain. They admitted quite frankly that they would not live to see it harvested
 ''The Soviet stopped the dangerous movement of magsed refugees to the cities bv sending food from Moscow and the report that we have suf. fered from Soviet offering is arrant nonsense. The pilfering has been negligible. Death is the 'ecreed pen alty for it."
 Major Carroll is returning to Mos cew at once. The Volga is begin ming to freeze" he said. and no time can possibly be lost in getting food into the more remote provinces be- fore the waterways are closed There is a hard winter before us," he con. c111ded

OFFERS TO GIVE FARM LANDS TO
 HIS EMPLOYEES
Wealthy Farmer Vainly Makes Proposition to Ien-
 ants-Ofer Turned Down.

LONDON, Jan 4-S F Edge, a scientific farmer, offered some few weeks ago, to hand over farm land valued at $1O0,O00 to a committee of his employees without cost, but rlbject to the proviso that they should pay their own wages out of the proceeds.
 1t is announced that they have de- clined the offer, and MT. Edge has extended it to any reputable labor body, such as the agricultural work CTS unions.
 The purpose of this offer" said Mir Edge, when int erviewed at his Sussex farm, is to prove to the trade unions that farming, like every other industry, will only pay wages that are earned, unless they are drawn frcm capital. Agricultural labOrers have been misled as to the profit a farmer makes from corn growing or ordinary agriculture, and it was to teach them the truth that 1 made this offer.
 My employees on my farms. which have grown in the last two years from modest 50 acres to SOIHc AyVVU acres, nave uOt dCCtpIcu my offer, knowing that they will make more money in wages than they could make out of the farm.
 'I now suggest that one of the farms should be run on a co-opera- tive scheme in charge of the work CTS and their unions. There would have to be an agreement that ac- cepted methods of good husbandry be observed. It would be possible, of course. to enjoy several years of prosperity by taking everything pcs Fible out of the land and putting nothing back. The farm must be kept in good order. fences kept up, ditches drained, land fertilized, and buildings maintained
 What l am deeply concerned with is that the whole of the land of this country should be farmed at profit, so that many more families may be employed on the land Tens of thousands can be employed on pis-breeding, at present by far the ! most remunerative side of agricnl- ture. We have immense areas of unproductive land. Why should we not connect unproductive land with unemployed people. and make the land produce pigs"

the following questions.
When and where do State Legislatures
meetf
How long do they serve?
ELIZABETH KAPIAAN.
Philadelphia. May 2. 1929.
Legislatures Of the various States vary in
the frequency OF their regular sittings.
Some meet every year: others every two
years. In addition. special or extra ses-
slons are sometimes held at the call Of the
Governor. The State capitals are the places
Of meeting. The Pennsylvania Lesisature's
regular sessions are held at Harrisburg.
Pa. every alternate year. Terms OF service
for State lawmakers vary In different States.
In Pennsylvania members OF tho House. or
Representative. are elected every two years.
while members OF the Senate. or state sena-
tors. hold office four years.
You ask for examples. Of State ordi-
nance and OF a city ordinance. Probably
you mean tho form Of enactment. In enact
ment Of O ''bili'' tho legislative phrase is
''Be II enacted. etc. while In the passaSe
Of an ''ordinsnce'' BY Council the wording 10
BE It ordained" etc. Bills require the
approval Of the Governor or their passage
over his veto to make them laws. while or
dinances must have the approval Of the
Mayor or be passed over his veto to become
effective.
