MOSCOW'S BECCARS
SERVING TEA WITH
JOKES, LAUGHTER

MOSCOW, Oct. 14.-The beggars
of Moscow have been enjoying re-
sumption of free trade under the So
Wet regime nearly as much as the
pro.iteers and spectators.
A year or SO ago., when the gov
eminent doled out everything to
everybody, the aristocrat and the
beggar alike, and money was of very
little use, medicants virtually disap-
peared from all their haunts at the
various street corners. But with
the reopening Of trade. and when
the daily parade of shoppers began
anew, the beggars returned and ap-
parently brought a lot of relatives
and friends with them.
The professional beggars of Mos
COW are a happy lot when OFF duty.
They congregate in vacant lots and
In ncoks and corners of tumbled
down buildings. where they gamble
among themselves; joke and laugh:
hold their feasts, apparently oblivi-
Gus of the past or the future, and
have quite a jolly a time as any
group of average individuals. The
non -profes SIGNALS. the men and wo.
men of the better class of other
days who beg only as a last resort
do not participate in these gather
! ings which are made up of the
lclass which has always been beggars
and knows nothing else Of life.
Tea is served regularly at the
beggarsr resorts. the water being
heated in big black kettles with a
wood fire underneath. Tin cans and
broken cups are brought into use by
the various individuals, the scene ir
some respects resembling the camps
of American tramps by the roadside
in summer.
Late in the day or during the
evening substantial food is served
the beggars paying the boss beggar
In kind, or with few rubles, for
whatever they may eat from the
mess. The boss beggar does not &C
tually beg himself. his .chief duties
being to cook the food brought by
the others and to carry to. and from
their places of work" sope OF the
beggars unable to walk or crawl
because OF their deformities.
When a beggars' feast Is at its
height. in Moscow, as much laugh,
ter and as much merry making may
be heard as anywhere in Russia.

on a platform of rigid enforcement
of laws touching Sabbath observance
and prohibition. He was endorsed
by number OF union labor leaders.
The Muscle Shoals project cropped
up as an issue in the last days OF
what observers had termed an un-
usually lfstless primary campaign Ia
Alabama. 1t figured IN the contest
FOR associate members Of the public
service commission, when Governor
Kilby, three days before the primary,

and Gallard. the incumbents, were
receiving the active supper; OF a
corporation controlling the utilities

ton and an opponent OF Henry
Ford's offer for the Muscle Shoals
project, for which the company had
made a bid.

PONEMAH MILLS
GYPSY MOTH QUARANTINE


 That the Federal Horticultural board is hot on the trail of the destructive gypsy moth is indicated by the notice sent out by. Director Edward H. JenA kins of the Connecticut Agricultural Ex- pertinent station to the effect that the quarantine existing in Connecticut would be extended to include most of the cities and towns in Hartford, Litchfield, Tol- land ahdNew London counties and some additional municipalities in Windharn New. Haven and Middlesex counties. The extension of the quarantine bacema ef- fective July 1, but public hearing on the matter will be held in Room 62 at the state capitol. Hartford on July S. when all interested persons may ap-. pear and be heard either in person of by attorney.
 The reason assigned for the proposed quarantine is the danger that infested forest products and nursery stock may be sent from areas where the gypsy 1 moths are prevalent into sections not now infested. The present quarantine was established on March 23. 1920. by authority given under Section 2106 of l-the general statutes, revision of 1918, since which time the state authorities have been cooperating with the feder- al board in an effort to externinate the gypsy or brown tail moth in Connecti- cut.
 It is assumed that the state and fed eral authorities have since learned that l greater restrictions are necessary to 1 precent enlargement of the infested areaA iudgIng from the number of cities and towns listed among those af- feeted by the extension. the quarantine will in effect, cover pretty much of. the state
 Inquiry of a prominent local nursery man drew forth the opinion that nurs. ,erivmen iir4 this section of tts state would not be greatly affected by the p1 { ;oaa1 extension He pcAnted out tthat most of the dealers in nursery pro ducts in the eastern end of. the state and throughout the Connecticut river val ley were growers of young stock tha were practically immune insofar as thu quarantine was concerned. It was stat ed that thIe limitations would deal il large forestry sbock. though some o those dealing in various srsecies of pine might be concerned. As far as nurser, stock for the present season is con cerned tf,e cuara7tine will be of n effect, because practf1ally all of tli, sales of young stock has been. con cluded, shipments made and the nurs l-ery products already planted. , It was intimated that the period c the extended quarantine might be a mat ter of interest to nurserymen, especial during the coming sfall and spring sea son, but it was not apparent that an
