A MAN WHO KNOWS RUSSIA
 SPEAKS.

Count Wlademar Kobovtzoff was Finance Minister of Russia from 1904 1914 and Prime Minister from 1911 1914. Mo man has watched more closely the working out of the Bolshe- vist regime. In a recent review he makes these statements: When the war broke out Russia was in full eco homie growth years of Bolshe- vism have severely shaken the bases of Russian industry. Her army of spe- clalists has been decimated. The ex- treme impoverishment of the popula- tion, the development of primitive do mestlc industry among the peasants, who could no longer obtain objects of first necessities in the towns; the rise of prices, the total absence of ad- and judicial stability and personal security have restricted mar ket outlets. Industrial stocks are ex- hausted and machinery, left unrepair- ed and unrenewed, has been to a great extent annihilated.

VOLSTEAD ACT
 HAS FAILED.
 SAYS REPORT

NEW YORk, Dec. 23. (H)- The conclusion that "the Volstead Act has failed utterly to accomplish it's pur- pose to promote temperance and so- briety" has been reached by the Moderation League, Inc, on the ba- sis of survey of conditions in sev- eral hundred representative cities.
 The League, composed of men from every walk of life, is incorporated un- der the laws of New York state for the announced object of Restoration of Temperance" It's survey collect ed statistics dealing with prohibition during the last eleven years from ev- cry city or town of more than 5000 population.
 On the basis of this data, the League declares, "drunkeness gener- ally has increased to virtually the pre-prohibition levels and certain classes of intoxication cases, among automobile drivers and minors, es- pecally, have increased far above anything ever known before in this country"
 Since conditions nave become worse, not better, each year," the report concludes, 'and with the next generation drinking as never before, there seems to be no hope that the Volstead Act in it's present drastic form will accomplish it's purpose in the long run.
 From the experience, before na- tional prohibition, of the states which had restrictive laws, from the expe- rience of the whole country during the restrictive period of 191S-1919, and from the experience of the Can adian provinces, we believe that a greater degree of importance can be attained by a wise restrictive law than by a bone-dry law which does not command the respect of a large part of the people,"
 In replies from $50 places which kept records of intoxication arrests from 1914, the report states that arrests on this charge in these com munities during 1914 had totalled 506,737. In the same places, the to4 tai for 1920, the year after the Vol stead Act became effective had drop ped to 226,070, but in 1924 it had arisen to total of 49S,752.
 A corresponding increase was not ed in the replies from 457 communi- ties where records of arrests for drunkeness had been kept only since 1920, the report continues. In 1920, the total for these places was 259,- 974, while in 1914 it was shown to have risen to 565,026.
 "A noteworthy feature" the re- port comments, lis that during the 1918-1919 restrictions (which amount ed to semi-dryness, not bone-dry- ness), there was an enormous de- crease in drunkenness iii spite of of the business boom of those years; and that thereafter, during the se- we're bone-dry years of the Volstead Act, there was such an astonishing increase than drunkenness just about reached the level of the old saloon years by 1924"

Paris Family Entertain

The large home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Joseph Paris was the scene of a jolly
party on Sunday last when that
family had as guests few persons
who bask in the stage limelight. A
number of family friends were also
present. Prior to the many selections
rendered, delicious Italian dinner
was served by the hostess, who has
gained an enviable reputation for her
culinary dishes.
Harry Eldridge, we'll known vaude-
vile entertainer, strummed number
of selections on the ukelele. A few
splendid piano solos were played by
H. Maeder of Woodcliff. Miss Elsa
Meldy, of Boston, Mass, who is now
appearing at the Loew's State The
atre in Newark, gave a fine exhibition
of her art.
Among the guests were Mr.. and
Mrs. Percy II. Withey and children,
Lillian and Buddy, of New York city,
where Mr.. Withey superintends the
management of the Lambs Club; and
Mr.. and Mrs. F. Frey and children,

Oh Where, Oh Where
Was the Local Bali
Team Sunday Last?

For reasons best known to them.
selves the members of the Grantwood
Athletic Club baseball team failed to
put in an appearance at the Play
grounds last Sunday afternoon. 1t
seems misunderstanding was caused
when the arrangements for the
Coytesville game were made. Some
body, whether in authority or not
scheduled a game with the Union
City sluggers, who got a good work
out for their travel to Grantwood
Their practice session, which took
place instead of the scheduled game,
failed to lessen their thoughts at the
nonappearance of the locals.
The visiting players, who were
Wise enough not to don uniforms un.
til they saw their opponents on the
field, were not the only people dis
gusted with the situation. A goodly
crowd of fans were on the field at
game time, all for nothing. They
gave vent to their disapproval and
called attention to the fact that re-
cent letter by the manager of the
team had deplored the local fans
nonsupport. The gist of their talk
was, Who can support ball team
when there is no such animal?
With Sundays fiasco forgotten the
home management have secured the
heavy-hitting Palisades Park aggre-
cation to display their prowess at the
High School field this Sunday. The
Fairgrounds, which is in a dilapi-
dated condition, will hereafter give
way to the diamond in the rear of the
Cliffside High. At least nine men in
stead of four will be on hand Sunday
to uphold the home town in their
battle for diamond supremacy over
the visitors. Game is scheduled to
start at o'clock.

for the men, junior and senior. II

anywhere from rompers up to seven
teen years of age will constitute the
juniors, while anything over that

tion.
The entrants must reside in Grant
wood. A nominal fee of one dollar
will be charged for each entry. This
admission will be used to defray the
expenses of the awards which will go
to the winners of the respective
groups. Entries must be filed by Sat
urday evening, August 20. Phone C..
o. Carlson, Cliffside 1874, or see any
of the members at the court, which is
located on Knox and Palisade avenues.
Unfortunately many applications for
membership have been received in the
past few weeks and against their
wishes the members had to disregard
them. AS the club has only one court
it would have been bit overcrowded
had new members been permitted to
join.

Dear Mr. Editor:
May l use your valuable space for
the purpose of correcting any wrong
impressions or reports that may have
arisen concerning my remarks at the
Board of Education meeting of July
16?

did not accuse, nor had | any thought
of accusing, either any member of the
board, or anyone else, of wrongdoing.
of the board to the general talk and
sentiment existing throughout the
borough about politics having en-
tered the board and the rumored
pledging of votes for architects, and
made as strong plea as l could that
the board lift the whole question of
the choosing of school architects to
such a high level as to absolutely
wipe out all such talk and dispel any
doubt or apprehension in the minds of
the citizens.
| advocated the retention of Mr. Sib-
ley as architect both as matter of
good policy and ethics, and quoted
letters from several leading school
architects of national reputation and
standing in support of my arguments.
/ also made further plea that, if
the board still insisted on competi
ton, that such competition be con-
Quoted under the auspices of the
American Institute of Architects, so
that Mr.. Sibley would be able to COM
pete.
| am intensely interested in school
matters. My only motive and desire
is to have the very best type of
schools built and to get them built as
quickly as possible, thus ending the
intolerable overcrowding and part
time school conditions now existing
in our borough.
Yours very truly,

UNDER AGE AUTO DRIVERS
(EditoriaD

1T is a notorious fact in these parts
that number of children under age
are allowed to drive automobiles and
without licenses. Attention has been
drawn to the fact several times, but
indulgent parents continue to permit
this open violation of the law. 1t is
all dead wrong. If reports are taken
to the state authorities, there is no
doubt whatever that the license of
the car owner will be revoked upon
proof that the law is violated as to
under-age drivers. The truth is, this
practice is not only illegal and dan
gerous, it is morally wrong. Already
one accidental killing has taken place
Nthrough an unlicensed boy driving an
automobile.

1t is primarily 9s conductor that
Damrosch is known throughout the

phony Orchestra, the wealth of edu-
cational material lie has brought to
the attention Of tens of thousands Of
students, teachers. musicians and
music lovers is ipcalculable. Stand
ing on the bedrock Of conservatism
with respect to the ideals of music, he
nevertheless has been most liberal in
serving the best Of all schools.
With the orchestra, he has car
ried the message of music from
coast to coast, from North to South.
By this means he has metamoo-
phosed whole communities from
music illiterates into music devotees.
His orchestra pioneered in concert
opera, and oratorio, cutting its way
to success by sheer perseverance
against stupendous odds. Penetrat-
ing to the Pacific in older days was
no easy matter. Giving opera was
a venture that invited failure.
Oratorio was a hazardous risk. Hold
ing together an orchestra OF even
seventy men was a difficult task.
But America had to be musically
educated, and Damrosch has helped
TO do it in a most positive and bril-.
liant manner
After transcontinental tours came

influence. No American orchestra
