In this struggle woman takes her

I Is the business of most women in
this society to sell themselves for
a comfortable living; to sell oneself
constitutes prostitution so, in the last
analysis, marriage today remains as it
has been since the institution Of mono.
gamy, simply legalized prostitution.
In this society woman is not re.
garded as an end in herself, like man
but solely as a means of ministerine
to his appetite. The ideal wife is the
one who does everything her husband
desires and nothing more. She is
merely an appendage to another be
ing, instead of existing az q separate
being.
But few words are necessary to
deal with the widespread domestic
strife in capitalist society-hundred,

gether in the closest intimacy who
mutually detest each other, and wo-

husbands, meekly submit to their ad

the love Of such creatures"
Woman's Rebellion.
lIETOMAN, if she dares face the facts
wv Of her condition, must either
loathe herself, or rebel.
Many women, even of the ruling
I lclass, do rebel, but as the education
of the female sex among this class is
mainly directed upon the development
OF their sentiments, thru music, litera-
ture. art, poetry and other studies tha
tend to increase nervousness, they
are, for the most part, incapable OF
comprehending the fundamental cause
of their degradation and when they
organize at all it is in strictly sex or
ganizations and societies where they
discuss the horrors of a "man-made
world" In their stupidity they even
form political organizations upon
sex basis. like the woman's party
thru which they impotently strive for
some vague equality"
THERE was historical Justification
i for sex struggle during the tran
sition from the matriarchy to the pa
triarchy, when classes existed upon
that basis, but there isn't any justifi.

TELL OF LEN|N
in april, 1917
Remember His ArriUal
in PetrOgrad

DOSOV, a working woman, re-
~ lated the story Of Lenin's ar
rival in Petrograd in April, 1917.
'The entire working class Of
Petrograd poured out to welcome
Lenin. The crowds teemed like an
ant heap; knocked against each
other and pressed forward, chill
dren were lifted high over the
heads Of the crowd; rousing hur-
rahs thundered. Behind the auto
slowly forcing its way thru the
multitude an old worker ran and
thrust a red handkerchief into
Lenin's hand: Take 1t, Comrade
Lenin, I wore it around my neck,
and a have nothing else. Keep it
and stand by our cause Lenin
put the handkerchief into his
pocket and to his last breath he
thought of the words of the old
worker and defended the cause of
the proletariat."
-
The working women KuHnetxov
described how a peasant woman
greeted Lenin at a meeting held
in 1918 by working women and
peasant women.
''The Soviet government took
the land from the estate owners
and gave it to us. / have q son
serving on the front who Is de-
Tending the conquests Of the revo-
luton. As soon as the Soviet
republic is attacked, / will be the
first to go to the front to my son,
gun in hand, in order to defend
the workers. and peasants gov
ernment."
Lenin stretched out his hand to
the peasant woman, who took 1t
and said solemnly: "Comrade
Lenin, not to me alone are you
giving your hand; but to all the
poor in the village"
The working woman Denikin
wrote from the village Of Gortsch
to Nadyezhda Konstantinovna:
"Comrade Lenin also noticed us
women, we the forgotten ones, the
women who are sorrowful even
unto death. He gained us equal
rights and showed us the way to
build up our state, and we are
courageously following this way.
In this barren village We con-
vene Soviets and fight for the
rights and protection of the pro-
letariat, and our struggle in this
remote spot is hard indeed"
Kotov, a working woman,
writes:
II never saw Vladimir Ilyitch,
but / know him and love him as
only mother can know and love
her child The remembrance of
our dearly beloved Lenin lives and
will always live in my heart, will
always fill my whole life, which
thru Ilyitch became so bright, so
free, and so full of joy. With the
millions of proletarians I say:
llyitch, you are our leader. You
led us to a new life, and your
memory will never die"

VALUABLE RECORDS
Clay Tablets Reveal Life in IraQ
S,4OO Years Ago

Philadelphia, Nov. 3 PI-one
thousand clay tablets revealing pub
lie and private life in Iraq S400
years ago have arrived at the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania. They were
delivered to Dr. Edward Chiora, as
sistant professor Of Assyriology at
the university, who believes their
contents will show the complete
life history of an ancient people of
whom historians lSuow virtually
nothing.
The tablets We're found by DR..
Chiera in a recent archaeological ex-
petition near Kirkuk, Iraq, a region
OF earliest antiquity, heretofore said
TO have been uneXplored. The eXpe-
dition was carried on under the Joint
auspices OF the American School of
Oriental research In Bagdad and the
Iraq museum. After they are tran
slated half OF the tablets will be sent
to the Iraq museum, the others re-
naming at the University of Penn
sylvania.
According TO DR., Chiera, a super
ficial examination. made before they
were shipped, disclosed that the tab
lets are records of court procedure,
marriage contracts, real estate tran
sactions, lists Of slaves purchased,
pay rolls giving rates of wages and
other business and personal docu-
.ments.
I All were written by members of an
ancient people, DR.. Chiera said, and
that they were neither Assyrians nor
Sumerians is proved by their
thousands of personal names, and,
through them, the names of the gods
they worshipped. Whether they were
related to the Hittites or Vitanni,
important groups of Aryan stock
which flourished especially in Asia
minor, cannot be determined until
translation Of the tablets they wrote
Is complete. DR.. Chiera said.
The tablets, all of unbaled clay
and far more susceptible to breakage
than the baked variety, had been
deposited by the ancients either in
baskets or clay jars.
In addition to declphering all the
letters, Dr. Chiera said he will be
forced to remove many of them from
their original clay envelopes. The en-
velopes We're made, he said, in much
the same manner as the modern pie
crust, the thinly rolled clay being
carefully folded arOun1 q letter and
