situation of the economic totaiitv.
If our economics had not improved,
we should have no chervonetz today.
We are now about to carry out a
financial reform. The
Central Committee has already
worked out a suitable project, and
will submit this in few days to the
Federal Council Congress meeting
in Moscow. This reform deals with
introduction of a uniform gold and
silver currency, having AS security
considerable gold reserve which
has accumulated of late.
Our Condition Improving.
At the Fourth World Congress of
the Communist International. Lenin
laid special emphasis on the fact
that we had already earned 20 mill
lion gold roubles by commerce, and
observed. $50 we have made a be-
ginning" Now. / am not betraying
any great secret when tell you
that since then we have earned 20
times 20 millions, if not more. We
possess a real gold basis for our
currency, and need no longer fear
that our rouble will strange Us.
This is a fact, comrades. Even
should the other symptoms proving
the uplfft of our economics be lack
ing-the increase of coal and
naphtha OUTPUT, etc.-the above
mentioned suffices in itself to prove
the Improvement of our position.
For it is perfectly clear that if our
finances were to collapse, then not
even an old Bolshevist guard could
keep Itself above watt- by any
heroic deeds, the less SO that pre-
cisely this guard possesses no very
great experience in financial ques-
tions.
It is true that even before the
war we raised international loans
as. for instance, when we borrow.
ed the impressive sum of 25 francs
at the time when we formed the
Zimmerwald Left.
We cannot cite any greater finan-
cial operations from our past. But
we were nevertheless successful in
finding member of the Central
Committee, a comrade who is at the
same time an old revolutionist, who
understands financial questions, and
has SO far managed our affairs en-.
tirely satisfactorily.
Further. Agriculture has re.
cuperated in an equal degree. Pro
duction has reached 20 to 80 pei
cent of pre-war production. There
are many comrades. even among
those belonging to tie Opposition
as. for instance, Comrade Sossnov
sky. who is well-informed on thi,
subject, who even assert that W,
have reached 100 per cent Of pre-wal
production. We have reached 40 pei
cent in state economics, whilst w,
were only at % per cent a yeal
ago.

amounted to 500 million pools.
Today we may regard the most

British Capital Once
Site of Vast Forests

Large areas of the land on which
the British metropolis stands once
formed a great charcoal district from
which practically the whole of the
city's fuel came. Vast forests of oak,
beech and ash trees covered these
areas, which included Norwood-the
Great North Wood-Croydon, Syden-
ham and Forest Hill. In those far-of
days of the Fourteenth century coal
was not allowed to be burned, as 1t
was considered that the smoke was
dangerous to health. It is not exactly
easy to see how this could be so, for
the smoke from charcoal burning is,
to say the least of it. most unpleasant
One bishop, who had his palace at
Croydon, was greatly annoyed by a
charcoal burner, who lit his fire right
under his lordship's windows, filling
the palace with the fumes of the smol-
dering wood. The charcoal burner
was regarded in those times as SIMS
ter figure, and was often credited with
being in league with witches and
devils.

Betel Nut Mars Beauty

The country folk (of Java) them
selves, conscious of their ornate set
ting, were dressed for the part. A
group of those women, moving in a
musical comedy, would give theat-
rical manager complete assurance in
the matter of his box office receipts.
They are so modest and polite that
they never stare at a stranger; though
with such figures, eyes and coloring,
I doubt whether he would object
greatly If they did. Theirmanners are
perfect, except that most of them
chew betel nut, and casually make
railway platforms and footpaths dis
tressing with red maculations.

Vessels Weight Varies
According to Direction

Attention was called recently in
scaentihc magazine to the difference
IN the weight and the displacement OF
a ship steaming east and one steam
ing west on account Of the centrifugal
force acting upon 1t. A specific ex-
ample was cited of an American LOO
ION destroyer travelling westward at
Is knots and adding 1928 pounds to
Aer weight, while the same craft
speeding eastward would subtract
AeO.62 pounds from her weight.
The Engineer, London, has taken
pains to look into the matter and gives
rs some additional facts. Inasnuch
as a vessel running at 20 knots has
a speed of AZ feet second, and as
the peripheral speed of the earth at
the equator is 1850 feet a second, it
Is clear that in steaming westward,
with the two speeds opposing each
other, the true linear velocity of the
ship would be 1,51S feet second,
while on an eastward course 1t would
be 1902 feet. The centrifugal force
exerted on a vessel of the aforesaid
size and speed is $40 pounds on a
wea&wesd course and 9,366 pounds on
an eastward journey indicating diff

Origin of Expression
Skeleton in Closet

"There is skeleton in every
house" is said to be an old saying
taken from an Italian humorous story
But the expression skeleton in the
closet" has been popularized by an
English story. A woman had an only
son who obtained an appointment in
India. One day the mother received
a letter from her son with this strange
request: "Pray, mother, get someone
who has no cares and troubles to
make me six shirts" The mother
searched in vain for such a person.
Finally she called upon a woman who
invited her to go with her to a bed
room. The strange woman then
opened aN closet which contained a
human skeleton. MADAM" she said,
81 try to keep my trouble to myself,
but every night my husband compels
me to kiss that skeleton, who was
once my husbands rival and whom he
killed In a duel. Think you that
am happy9" The mother Immediate
" wrote to her son and told him her
experiences and the son replied: Il
knew when / gave the commission
that everyone had his cares, and you,
mother, must have yours. Know then
that 1 am condemned to be executed
and can never return to England.
