MOSCOW GRANTED
 FOR ELBOW ROOM
100000 People Living in Rus sian City Built for 100000

Moscow, Nov. S0.--All of the com can, together with about the same amount of privacy as if one were liv- ing in a goldfish bowel, is enjoyed by the majority of Moseow's inhabitants. There are more than 100000 of them, living in a city built for less than million, and only the very prosperous newly rich and few lucky foreigners who have fat expense &C., counts have anything like spacious quarters.
 Housing conditions arc somewhat better than last year. because some buildings have beer repaired, but for every free room there are hundreds of applicants, ready to pay large fees merely for the privilege of moving in.
 Generally speaking, the legal amount Of space to which any individual is en- titled equals that taken up in an American house by a small bathroom or large colthes closet. In houses which have been returned to private owners or which have been exempted from the space regulations by agree mcnt with individuals who undertake to repair them, 1t is sometimes pos- sible to obtain several rooms. But Moscow is money mad, and has been for two years. and the premiums charged merely for obtaining rooms are sometimes fantastic. For example, the writer was asked $500 cash, plus SIS rental, for one small unfurnished room with no convenience whatso- ever.
 Foreigners usually live in the gov- ernment controlled hotels, which of late have become so expensive that London or New York hotel charges pale in comparison.
 All of the Moscow hotels and res- taurants are now on a gold basis, cai- culating the charges in gold rubles and converting them into paper money at the days rate Of exchange.
 Rooms outside of the hotels are so rarely discovered that when word of one being free reaches Moscow's

"The United States" Mir Esta.

The United States" Mir. Esta- brook says, cannot produce wheat at prices as low as Argentina, and it ap- pears probable that the production of the former country will gradually de- cline to the pre-war level. At the same time the population of the United States is increasing at the rate of 100000 souls year, and this in- crease is almost entirely confined to the cities. The inevitable result of this increase will be the reduction of the exportable surplus so that the competition of the United States with Argentina in the world wheat market will gradually diminish"

PULL THE TRIGGER

To have a good definite aim in life is absolutely essential to
success. But all the aims which your fertile brain may con-
jure and your ambition inspire will count for naught unless
you pull the trigger.
You are a business woman, we will say. You spend much
time and thought dreaming and planning for the day when you
will be earning double your present salary. Fine! OF course
its a good thing to be hopeful, and its a good thing to be a
dreamer. Most successful people are. But how much time
and thought do you spend on the actual performance of
your work?
Are you trying all the time to do better work or are you
perfectly satisfied with the work you are turning out? Are
you willing to work a little harder than the others, or do
you object if your employer occasionally requires an extra
half hour of your time? Are you doing any outside reading
on studying to broaden and cultivate your mentality and per-
sonality, or don't you take the time for such things? For the
sake of your good work and your aim are you willing to
sacrifice an occasional good time, or do you always put pleas
ure first?
In other words, do you neglect to pull the trigger? If you
do you are and always will be a failure. Your aim is your
vision. The trigger is the actual performance of your daily
task. No matter how straight your aim unless you are willing
to work-pul the t~rigger-you will never hit the bulls eye
marked success.
Lots of folks have a good aim in life-but many of them
fail to pull the trigger. How about you?
