A ten thousand dollar Salvation
Army building. a part of which will
be devoted to a Salvation Army
hotel, may soon be erected in the

the Salvation army. Captain Guest

yesterday.
Such a building has been one of
the hopes OF the local chapter Sal
walton army for several years and
through various methods, a fund
amounting to more than $4,000 has
been accumulated fer this purpose.
A part of this was raised in the
drive last year.
Several central locations are be-
ing considered for the project, and
on two of the most promising lots
there are already buildings which
would do as a start for the enter
prise.
Salvation Army hotels are to be
found in almost every city of any
size throughout the United States.
Some of them include many feat
ures and types of Salvation army

RUSSIAN FEMINIST
CLAIMS WOMEN ARE
RULED OUT THERE

Nine. Alexandra Kollanty, one Of
the leaders of the Russian feminist
movement. charges in an article she
has written in the "Pravda" that
petty bourgeoisie narrowness and
superstition are preventing women
having the voice they merit in the
soviet government.
She says that no woman was a
voting delegate at the communist
conference preceding the ninth all
Russia soviet congress held at Mos
COW, and that only twenty-four wo-
men were included among the 1000
voters at the congress, despite the
fact that so per cent Of Russian
voters are women.
She alleges that women are very
active in politics, but less than 3
per cent of the membership of town
soviets Is represented by women,
and in the village soviets they have
only two-tenths of 1 per cent of
the membership.
Furthermore, she states, there
are only five women members in
the central executive committee OF
800, which is Russia's chief govern
ing body.
Nine. Kollanty declared that
such discrimination against women
greatly retards the re-establish-
ment of agriculture, in which peas.
ant women play an important part.

need, worth and popular demand
for it. Mrs. Maud Wood Park, pres
ident of the national league. who

derstanding when measures which
the league is actively supporting

in the senate office building, the
convention delegates will visit the
galleries of senate and house, to
Isee at first hand what the proceed
ure Of the national legislative body
