HARD TO GET ENOUGH CLOTHES.
Russian Women Forced TO Dress i'm
Rags

Spring fashions do not bother the
women of Odessa They have no new
fashion journals nor cloth with which to
make new dresses Women sometimes
have a hat and a few yards of rough
cloth to cl0the themselves.
Undertaking is an unknown guam
tity. SO are stockings for the unlucky.
Women who have cloaks or furs wear
them in day time, but at night leave
them home If they did not they would
be robbed in the darkened streets.
People who go to the theatre travel
homewards i'm groups for protection.
This lack of clothing hits very hard
the younger girls. One Of them said
to the correspondent: II should like to
go abroad. if only to get nice clothes"
The older women in Russia, when
talking of the chance of ever getting
abroad say: After all, if we got
abroad we would be very poor and feel
our poverty more by the contrast. Here
we are all dressed alike and more or less
i'm rags and SO long as wa can get food
enough perhaps il is best that we stay

RUSSIAN HOUSEWIFE IN SAD ST
Families and individuals Have Reverted
to Primitive Conditions.

An English woman who recently made
a visit to Soviet Russia was astonished
to discover that the housewife of that
country is in a sad plight. Her investi-
CATION was not along the lines that are
generally chosen by the visitor. She
made point of looking into the affairs
of the Russian home, and her observation
il that every individual and every family
has reverted to primitive conditions.
In Petrograd and Moscow families live
in fats of great. many -storied houses,
Just as they do in New York. The differ
ence is that they have no modern faciH-
ties. They must carry their water up
long flights of stairs and must carry
refuse and garbage down in pals. They
have no running water system and no
sewerage system
However, there is some comfort in the
fact that very little water is needed, for
there is nothing to wash and nothing to
wash with. There is no fuel to heat the
water and there is no soap. For a while
there was a limited soap supply. but that
is now exhausted, and only Il certain ia
YOred few are issued any ratiOnS by the
Soviet. These few are fortunate enough
to get somewhat less than half a pound of
soap a month. The rest must buy ii if
they are to have it and pound of soap
costs 10000 rubles-S14 600 at the pre-
war exchange rate
The housewife is frequently called
upon to ply her needle and thread, but
she has no new goods upon which to sew.
Her effort in this direction is a continual
labor to keep the ragged garments of all
members of her family from falling to
pieces. One can imagine what hopeless
rags the clothing has become during the
four years of Communist power. for there
have been almost no new goods produced
in Russia. and the little quantity that
has come from the factories has been
taken by the Red army. Shoes are not.
literally. a housewives problem: and it
is just as well, for a new pair costs
100000 rubles.
The principal problem is that of food.
Communism has worked out according to
promise in that women are free from
kitchen cares; but the reason for it is
that there is nothing to cook Meager
fatl0nS were issued for four years on the
card system, and during that time any
punishable by death. Now there is not
even any ration. Potato skin biscuits
are considered a luxury. In the large
cities there are very few small children
left, for they have died of starvation in
great numbers. The death rate vastly
exceeds the birth rate
In spite Gf all privations mothers still
| strive and struggle and sacrifice them
selves for the lives of their children with
the same love as any mothers in America
| or Britain under happier conditions.
| There are fortunate families in RuSsia
| living in the greatest plenty. Those who
| have the favor of the Soviet government
| live exceedingly well But they are mere
| thousands, while millions are half starved
and ragged.

GYPSIES CAUSE CONNECTION

When the police took the gang in
