ment and the Communist party,
modified especially for this new
front"
The merchandise ruble, of which
Kameniev and the rest spoke, is prac-
tically currency in theory. Because
the sovznak was constantly falling in
price, the government and the trade
unions have devised a means by
which the real wages should be more
protected Every month a commits
sion of the workers and the govern
ment have taken up the budget of the
worker, and striking an average figure
for given locality have calculated
the amount of soviet rubles to be re-
ceived by them. 1t had greatly bet
tered the lot of the worker but still
never given him the full assurance
of real wages. The sovznak was so
constantly falling in worth that if,
for instance, a worker did not buy
in all his products right after pay he
was in danger of getting for his pay,
a few days later, much less, often as
little as half.
(The only exception to the rule was
housing where the worker gained by
the decline of sovznak According
to the law, rent was to be collected
of workers and clerks every tenth
for the previous month, in amounts
according to the worth of the sow
max on the 18th of previous month.
The workers by this law have often
paid less than a half of their real
rent gaining on this decline of the
sovznak for nearly monthly
The reduction in prices was on all
lines. At first on certain staple com
modities, then many others, the rH-
duction still keeping on. The pri-
vate traders are not compelled to
lower prices, the decree being ouly
for the state and cooperative insti-
buttons, but they are nevertheless,
compelled by law to hang out their
price lists like the state and co-opera-
tive stores in a conspicuous place,
and the result is that they had to fall
in line. AS to the state manufacture
ers, their prices were reduced even
more by eliminating the so-called IN
surance against risk of the decline in
sovznak that they have always added
to the price. In general, prices on
manufactured products fell from 16
to 35 per cent. Even newsprint paper
and newspapers became cheap. The
soviet citizen today buys his "Izvas-
tia" at five copeks copy and the
loaf of bread for five copeks. Compel
ing heavily with the private trader
thru the state and cooperative stores,
the government nevertheless decided
to come to the help of the very small
one. The small trader shows great
tenacity of life not alone in the vii
lagos, but in the big cities as well.
Even in Moscow where there is the
greatest network of co-oDeratives and
state stores, ninety per cent of the
small trade is still done by the small
private trader, half Of that in the
popular markets. 1t has been decided
therefore, to help them first by en-
abling the small trader to buy his
goods directly from the state factor
les, avoiding the middle man and the
middle state institutions, and then

Delivery in November
In their offer to the board made
yesterday, the syndicate agreed to
pay one hundred per cent Of the
par value, plus accrued interest to
the date of delivery, which is ex-
pected to be on November l., 1924.
The bid is made on the understand,
ing that before payment for the
bonds the district will furnish the
buyers with a written opinion from
Messrs. Goodfellow, Eells, Moore
and Orrick approving the legality
of the bonds, and that a written
approval of the sale and contract
of the California Bond Certifica-
tion Commission be also supplied.
In consideration of the purchase
of the above bonds by the syndi-
cate, an agreement was entered in
to by the board not to sell anv ad.
ditional bonds of the district dur
ing the ensuing six months, by
which agreement the syndicate will
purchase all or any part of the
remaining $450,000 worth of bonds
of the fourth issue at any tune
after six months and prior TO one
year from the present date, in such
amounts and at such a price as
shall be mutually agreed on by
both parties. Should the board de-
sire TO sell any bonds during the
six months period April l, 1925 to
October l, 1925, and the syndicate
is unable to agree with the board
IS to the price to be paid, then
the board is at liberty to offer
such bonds to any responsible bid
der, and such offer shall be submit
ted to the syndicate, which shall
be at liberty to take up the bonds
at the same price offered by any
other bidder.
Mr.. seidel spoke in high terms
Of the solidarity of the Doard's
issues, and said that the hoard
should celebrate the transaction in
some fitting manner, as in his
opinion the sale at the price was
an event worthy of n goodly bit !
of publicity. There had been big |
blocks of bonds sold before, but |
none so advantageously as those !

At the present moment, it was
pointed out, industrials are not

management.
Others in the party were l..
R. Varser, Thomas H. Jewett,
L. R. Wilson, Charles T. Wooll-

Ferson, and John Sprunt Hill.
Ask the manager and he will
tell you the inn is not yet open.
Perhaps so, officially and tech
nically. But the visitor has a
hard time believing it. The rugs
and furniture in the lobby are
all laid out just as they should
be, the dining room is fitted
out with tables and chairs,
meals are served, the elevator
is running, and the bedrooms
on the upper floors are in use.
The register already shows
the names of guests from New
England, New York, and the
Middle West. A few days ago
one of the University's legal
fraternities had a blowout there,
and the party of 20 included
three of the organizations Off

aminations by the state health
boards expert, DR.. Perry. The
examinations were about even

negroes.
The clinic was a joint enter
prise of DR.. Nathan and the
health department of the Com

Seal Fund committee made a
contribution to help defray the
cost. The services of the spe-
cialist were contributed by the

amined were found to have the
disease in positive form. Ten
were classified as "probable," !"
IL as doubtful" and 46 as meg
ative."
Five were advised to take
sanatorium treatment, 9 to keep
careful temperature records,
and IA to have their tonsils re-
moved. The specialist advised
IL to take home treatment and
referred 38 to their family ply
sicians.
