at him.
A woman, accompanied by the
resident doctor and a maid, entered
tho English hotel on the other side
of the square, crossed the foyer and
got into the lift. As she passed, a
little dapper man, bald, dressed like
a tailor's print, and with the air of
one who is a social register, spoke
to his companions pouring a cup of
tea at a table by the wall.
That's Nelly Landsear-used to

States. Jove! She's gone to pieces!

sells at least IS per. cent of all the
consumers goods bought in the
United tates; he has more than q
million stores In the country repre-
senting an investment of billions
of dollars; in short, the individual
retailer today is our main and W.T.

MANY people thoughtlessly say,
DO away with the individual re-

cooperative association take his
place. Anyone who studies the
problem, however, must realize
the Observation-Disclosures of such q
plan. Both the chain store and
the cooperative association are all
right, but would we care to give
any single organization monopoly
of our distribution.
"Then there is another phase Of
the retail situation for which you
and as consumers are to blame
the truth is we have grown lazy.
We want our goods brought to the
door, we want to run charge ac-
count. We want to have q wids

FACTORY COSTS ARE HIGH
Soviet Government Finds 1t Cheaper
to Import Many Articles.

Moscow. July 16.-P d u tt n
charges in many Russian factories
have become so high that the Soviet
government would now find il cheaper
10 import certain manufactured arti-
cles than to make them at home.
For example, it is said that har-
vester machines can be purchased and
transported from Germany, or even
from America. to Russia for much
less than the cost of producing them
in the plant of the International Har-
vester company, near Moscow
This American factory. one of the
few Industries in Russia that was not
nationalized by the BOlsheviki, is one
of the most efficient in the country,
but its production costs per machine
manufactured are almost twice those
OF the German and American plants

to the high prices OF raw material. but
the unusual Russian labor laws also
an important factor.
For example. a workman whose
wife is expecting a child is paid IS
per cent additional salary for nine
months. and in the month when the
child is born receives still another full
months pay If the workman is sup
porting a sister or a mother or any
other woman in an interesting condi-
ton, the same rule applies. while a
feminine employe receives even more
liberal treatment. amounting to seven
rull months extra pay
