PARIS, Aug. 29.-Jean Patou, orig.

triumphant this coming season. has
added another department to his bust

Patou has always refused to clothe
a fat woman. His styles have inva.

girl. But women, to jeans horror,
were getting stouter and stouter =
perhaps under the influence of mod.
ern laziness, whereby a woman sell
dom walks, dances less and sleeps and
cats far too much.
So Patou, the pioneer, added an
expert to his staff who will hence
forward advise women as to what
they shall and shall not eat in order
to keep their bodies fashionably slen-
der. According to report the innova-
ton has been crowned with success.

total destruction through diversion
Of water for electrical develop

Since he was operated on, there has
been slight change in Taylor's con-

him have marvelled at his vitality.
None of them gives him the least

soul to keep together. And yet, to-
day he was slightly better after five
hours of unbroken natural sleep.

ATHEISTS MAKE

RUSSIA
Organized Party Doubled
; Membership in Three
Months.

MOSCOW, Aug. 29.-Militant athe-
ism in Russia is adopting new tactics.
Subtlety in place of force; reason
in place of riots, are the new program
for combating religion.
Comrade Gorieff planted the guide
posts of the revised strategy in the
first Moscow provincial conference of
atheists, just convened here, when he
said:
The methods of our anti-religious
propaganda depend on time and condi-
lions. The current moment demands
from us caution and care"
In this opinion he is supported by
Iemian Jaroslavsky, head Of the all
union congress of atheists.
Jaroslavsky is one Of the most prom
inent Bolsheviks. He is chairman of
the control committee of the Russian
communist party-all charges against
party members and is the first court
OF trial for communists accused of un-
becoming conduct.
He also presided in the special ses-
sion of the supreme court which found
the three students-Kindermann and
Wolch, Germans, and Ditmar, Esthon-
ian-guilty of planning the assassina-
ton of Stain and Trotzky. He SEN
fenced the three to death.

WIDOW, ENDS

Calmly Seats Self by Body
of Bride-to-Be and
Fires Bullet.

NEW YORK, Aug. 29.-It seemed
that all Jack Lang could talk about
for the last several weeks was July 3.
Each customer that came into his
little shop at 173 East 10th street,
patiently listened while Jack shaved
him or cut his hair. Jack was to
be married. The bride Mrs. Eva
Marks, the widow, you know-yes,
the one who kept the candy shop
across the street at No. PAT.
1t had been pretty romance and
the whole neighborhood was talk
ing. Jack, the barber. was 40 and
the widow 43. he had been mar
ried before and the widow had a
daughter, Lucille, 10.
SMILE STARTS ROMANCE.
1t was more than three years
ago that Jack first halted in his
steps on the way to open the shop.
The Widow Marks was unlocking
her shop door for the days bust
ness. She recognized the new bar
Der across the way and smiled
That was the beginning of the end
for Jack who had thought he would
never marry again.
For three long years he pressed
his suit assiduously. Lunch hour
and any interval during the day when
business was slack found him in the
widows shop pleading his cause. Sew
eral weeks ago she capitulated and
Jack walked on air.
He opened his shop but it was not
for the purpose of doing business
He wanted to give his hair one
more final Sticking. Then dressed
in his best, he went 10 claim the
widows hand. Everything was in
readiness except the widow. She
said:
"Tve been thinking it over, John,
and / don't think we should 90
through with it."
TRAGEDY ENTERS
Jack was aghast. They were in
the sitting room in back of the
widows shop. Lucille was waiting
on some customers in front. Then
came the realization of his shat
tered hopes. In a frenzy he up
braided the widow, asked If there
was another and finally drew his
revolver.
Mrs. Marks backed toward the
rear window. Jack fired, and there
was a growl from Sport" Mrs.
Marks fox terrier, as his mistress
fell backward on the windowsill
dead, a bullet wound in her fore
head.
John, quite calm now, according
to the customers who crowded to
the sitting room door, afraid to en-
ter, drew a chair up in front Of his
dead bride-to-be. Seating himself, he
placed the gun muzzle against his tenn
pie and pressed the trigger. he, too,
died instantly.

But once in a great while the grim

When admitted to the hospital two
weeks ago, surgeons told him he had

Your heart is weak because OF
blood poisoning and we can't let you

an utter failure, and that the homely,

Several years ago was urged to
engage younger and better-looking

1T is not that I minimize the bene.

Yet the older teacher may offset what
she lacks in looks by good personality.

every worker, young and old, against the fur
ther ventures of American Imperialism. The
DAILY WORKER must be the standard around
which we rally day after day in our attack
against the capitalist state and its hirelngs.
While the official organ Of the League The
Young Worker, is important for every young
Communist, nevertheless we must not forget
that the youth movement is only a section of
our Communist movement of America. After
spending four, five or six years in the youth
movement we must enter completely the party
and there carry on the struggle till final victory
crowns our efforts. In this struggle of ours,
whether it be Of interest to the youth or the
adult movement the Importance of the DAILY
WORKER cannot be overestimated
From another angle the DAILY WORKER is
one of the best means of training the new re-
cruits who enter our revolutionary youth move
ment. In our daily paper they receive the news
of the entire world labor and Communist move
ment. They receive wide, a world vision,
which is so necessary to world solidarity.
With the DAILY WORKER helping and aid
ing the American young workers in their daily
battles and serving as an educational and rally
ing point for the young American Communists
we must be determined to sacrifice in order to
keep our DAILY WORKER in the field.

Ordered to Be Fair After
Next March

WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.-The inter
state commerce commission today re-

that the practice of the railroads in
assigning private cars and foreign
line cars for railway fuel to bitumin-
Gus coal mines in excess of the share
contemporaneously distributed to BIZ
luminous coal mines upon their lines,
which do not receive assigned cars,
was unjust and unreasonable.
Commission Divided.
The railroads were ordered to
change their practice with regard to
privately owned coal cars by March
1, 1925.
The commission was divided on the
question, Commissioners Hall, Potter
and Cox dissenting from the majority
report.
The private car owners are grouped
generally into three classes, accord
ing to the commissions report:
The Big Moguls.
Il. Those that owned the plants,
mines and cars, the latter being used
to transport coal from the owned
mines to the plants of the owning
company. In this class are included

ed States Steel corporation and its
subsidiaries, the Pittsburgh Plate
Glass Co., Youngstown Sheet & Tube
Co.; Wisconsin Steel, and Internation-
al Harvester companies; Ford Motor

"2. Those that own the cars and
the plants, but not the mines. In
cluded in this class are the By-product
Coke Ovens, not connected with the
steel and other plants, enumerated in
class 1, and the Public Service Elec-
trio Co.

THE Young Workers League participated in
the campaign to launch our first English
Communist Daily and today it feels proud of
the fact that during the past year we have been
able to keep our Communist Daily in the field
continually as the fighting expression of the
working class in its many and varied struggles
Today when we are facing national crisis,
when unemployment is growing each month,
when the young workers are being pitted
against the adults in the vicious circle of wage
cuts, and replacement of the adult and more
experienced workers by young workers for less
pay, it is the DAILY WORKER which raises the
slogan and demands of the Young Workers
League who are always active in every indus
trial conflict.
During the past year when the League has
been advancing forward on the field of eco
nomic struggle, the DAILY WORKER has been
an invaluable asset in each of the many cam
paign conducted by the League
Today, when we are approaching new i'm
perialist wars which will result in the young
workers being called upon to sacrifice their
lives on the battlefield for American plutocracy
it will be the DAILY WORKER which will serve
as daily medium of advice and leadership to
