RUSSIAN FURS COMING
Huge Quantity Expected to be Placed
on the Market.

A huge quantity of new Russian
furs, stored in warehouse near the
Kremlin and regarded by the soviet
government as part of it's national
treasury, is expected to be placed on
the market early next fall, says 4
Moscow dispatch.
The immense stock, consisting
largely of astrachan, sable and er-
min, is the largest single supply OF
, furs in Russia, and will be held in re-
serve until the soviets have re-estab-
lished their world trade sufficiently
to obtain a good market.
While the supply is not for SALE
the national treasury continues to
operate a retail department where
mink, fox and other of the cheaper
skins are sold. The public has un-
shaken confidence in this branch or
the government, for it has found the
furs to be in good condition, we'll
tanned and reasonable in price.
Monkey skin large enough for -
mans overcoat could be had last win
ter fer about $50, and other furs were
in proportion. A few hundred miles
from Moscow, however, the prices are
so per cent. lower, as money is scarcer.
Many of the skins 1lling at high
prices in Central Europe ur the Unit
ed States have no special value in
Russia. One of these is sable marten.
A fair grade of this fur may be had
for 50 and an entire coat consisting of
60 or 20 skins. will sell for $40 or $50.
While silver fox is relatively rare here
itsmay be had for approximately the
same price as sable, which sells for
about 81.

A FEW QUESTIONS

DO YOU suppose man ever died
fuIlv insured. whose widow and chill
dren lamented the fact that ne had not
invested his money in some other man
ner?
DO YOU, suppose a man ever died
without life insurance who did not re-
Cret-too late-negligence to provide
for the future?
DID YOU ever meet man who was
physically unable to take life insurance
who did not wish he had insured years
before?
DID YOU ever hear of widow that
wished her husband had put his money
in the bank instead of buying life in
surance?
What would YOU think of one who
would refuse to insure his house
against fire, but instead put the pre-
mium in the bank?
mn YOT- ever hear an old man say
no wished he had taken insurance in
his Younger days so that the premium
would not be so high:
If YOU had been trying one-half as
hard TO find reasons why you should APP
nIy for insurance right now as you
have been trying to find excuses for
not taking it, would YOU not already
have applied for adequate insurance?
DID YOU know that person carry
ing insurance in the Mutual Benefit
Life Insurance Company does not
spend 'his money, but SAVES 1T just
the same as if he deposits it in the
safest bank in the world?

We have pointed out before the realis-
tic truth which was consistent with
this capitalization of his themes. In
rising from portraituro to the cclebra-

ne observed it here in our twentieth
century. AS we have said on another
occasion, if VIC look strictly to the
angelic sweetness of The type he loved

that he raiuted Madonnas, but nothing
could be further from The truth. The
word connoteS suggestions which do
not emanate from his canvases. He
painted woman pure and simple. The
great picture loaned by the Boston
Museum is called "Caritas." A kindred
composition in the Freer collection is
called "Thc Virgin" In the Gellatly
group there is "Virgin Enthroned."

the beauty which flowed rnagically into
