ABOUT RUSSIA

NEW YORK, July 16.-What is hap
pening in Soviet Russia today?
Three years ago. in 1921, Russia
Witnessed the most critical period in
the history of the revolution. Indus
try was in a state of collapse. The
famine was taking its TOLL of the life
and strength of the Russian workers.
The morale of the people was at its
lowest-discouragement and pessim-
ism prevailed. The capitalist press
turnout the world gleefully prophesied
the early collapse of the Soviet gov
eminent. Even revolutionists tensely
followed developments in Russia, feel
ing that the fate of the revolution was
to be decided.

number. Of furnaces in action in this

Success Today.

But today, in 1924, the Soviet repub-
lie proves to the world the construc-
tive power of the proletarian dictator
ship, which not only carried the work
ers successfully thru the stormy pc
riod of revolution, but is carrying
them thru the period of reconstruc-
ton. Russia is well on the way to
solving all her problems. The last
three years have witnessed constant
progress in the rebuilding of industry,
and improvements in the standard of
living of the workers. The currency
has been stabilized, the budget is bal.
anced, production steadily increases.
What has been responsible for the
great successes of the Russian revo-
luton? How have the terrific prob
lens, which threatened the revolt in
1921, been met? What is the message
of revolutionary achievement which
the Russian workers can today send
to all the workers of the world?
Foster Tells Why7
William 2. Foster, recently returned
from Russia, will answer these and
other questions at a mass meeting to
be held under the auspices of the
Trade Union Educational League on
Monday, July FL. s p. M, at Webster
hall, 18th st., between Sd and 4th
AYES. Comrade Foster is especially
well qualified to analyze the Russia Of
today. He visited Russia in the dark
days Of 1921, and as a result of his in
vestigations published a book on the
Russian revolution which is regarded
as one Of the best on the workers re-
public.
Recently Comrade Foster made an
other trip to Russia, and at the meet
ing in Webster hall will tell the work
ers of New York city what he saw
there. No worker should miss this
opportunity of learning what Russia is
doing today. Comrade Foster de-
clares emphatically that the Russian
revolution is a success. Come to Web
ster hall on July 81 and hear why.

Coach OF basket ball, Northwestern
University, and originator OF many
successful adaptations of the game.
!: x x =
The long high bounce we'll out
ahead OF dribbler is used for speed.
The shorter, more straight up and
down bounce is for the slower drib-
BILE. The change from slow to fast
is not so difficult. but from fast to
slow is very hard. Incessant prac-
tice is the only key to success in
change of dribbling pace. because it
is a problem OF Coordination and
instinct.
The style of dribbling illustrated
above permits an easier change of
pace. Instead of the dribble being
straight ahead in one plane, the ball
is alternated off the floor by both
hands in a side-to-side fashion.
Against this style of dribbling, the
opponent will, in following the ball,
shit to one side, and it is often easy
tor the dribbler to bounce ball back
to other side and get by opponent.
Change of pace requires, above all,
complete control of ball, so it should
not be batted to the floor so much
as snapped" down with a firm but
gentle wrist motion and finger flip"

Sure Way to Get Rid Of Dandruff

There IS one sure way that never
fails to remove dandruff completely
and that is to dissolve it. Then you
destroy it entirely. To do this, Just
get about four ounces of plain, ordi-
nary liquid arvon; apply it at night
when retiring; use enough to moisten
the scalp and rub it in gently with
the finger tips. By morning, most,
if not all, of your dandruff will be
gone, and two or three more appli-
cations will completely dissolve and
entirely destroy every single sign and
trace of It, no matter how much
dandruf you may have.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop
instantly, and your hair will be
lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and
