festo issued by more than 200 Ger
man publishers after meeting at
Weimar The manifesto declares that
with newsprint prices constantly
soaring, publishers are forced to sell
their newspapers to persons backed
by foreign capital.
Another evil resulting from the high
cost of paper, the manifesto declares,
is the flood of sterotyped matter which
is offered at low cost to the news
papers, and which they are compel
led TO accept because they are not
able to buy desirable news.
The publishers call upon the gov
ernment to take measures to remedy
this "deplorable state of affairs"

have found that tobacco slaves off
hunger. hence the number of women
who smoke cigarettes has increased
materially since tn Soviets came into
power Women of all ages and class

in the restaurants and shops, and it
is not uncommon to see them smoking
on the streets

revolution, often when food was not
to be had at any price, there was
plenty of cigarette tobacco offered at
reasonable prices With the equality
of the sexes establishd under COM
munism and a breakdown of con-
ventionalities, the women promptly
adopted smoking as the first of their
newly acquired privileges

Sunday and to alternate theatres. The
