Coolidge said. unless we remember
that during. his life time he helped
TO build a place of religious worship,
in his will he provided for institu

address he emphasized the spiritual
values of life. But what he did was
even more eloquent than what he

these he was great teacher.
Obligations Mutual

By William Philip Simms

MOSCOW CBy Mail.)-It is. stylish
in Russia now-and wise-not to be
stylish.
Girls parade the Kuznetsky Most.
Moscow's fashionable shopping
street, with their bare legs simmer
ing in the sun. On then feet, how
ever, are modish high heel slippers.
Bobbed hair is as much in evil
dence here as in the States. But
few bonnets are encountered. The
girls either go bareheaded else wear
a mans cap pulled well down over
their locks. That or blood red
handkerchief. or piece of cotton tied
tightly around their heads.
The thing is to look careless. 1t
is obvious that many girls take great
pains to appear so and the result is
often fetching. Rouge, lip-sticks,
compacts and the rest seem as dear
to the Russian girls heart as to her
American sisters.
Men all try to look like workmen.
I've seen them dallying over their
tea in shops, Offices and banks, but
they, like the women, are carefully
dressed in careless fashion.
They go hatless, too, for the most

part. The rest wear caps like the
girls. And "rubashki''--shirts that
hang outside The trousers.
This goes for everybody. They may
be riding around in a Rolls Royce,
but they take care to look like
plumbers or plasterers on their way
to a job.
Money Being Made
- OF course there is money being
made in Russia. 1 have already told
of the $500 sable scarfs, diamonds
and platinum jewelry. highpriced
motor cars and what not seen in
the shop windows or encountered In
the streets. Somebody has the
money to buy these things. But
they are carefully refraining from
making too much show OF It..
On Sundays. however. it's diff
ferent story. Russians get all dolled
UP on Sundays. The bare legs of
weekdays are hidden under the
sheerest of silk stockings. Classy
frocks, cut Rue de la Paix fashion,
up around the knees, appear. Also
the latest things in hats and furs
and gewgaws and furbelows. Men
plume themselves likewise and. on
the whole, a crowd of Russians Sun.
daying at the Hermitage, say, a
popular amusement garden here,
look just as prosperous as aNsimilar
crowd in Berlin. Perhaps more so.
Theaters Crowded
Theaters, movies, restaurants. sum-
mer parks and the like are crowded.
Today not only the "Nepmen"-
as those engaged in private enter
prise in this country are called
but all kinds of workers are free to
make all the money they can.
Russia's population is approx
mately 130000,000. OF these only
about 100000 are regular voting
Communists. The rest are party
less" as they express it, and may
demand and receive by way of salary
or fees all he or she can get. Only
the communists wages are fixed.
The Communist party has lost 100,-
600 members in the last couple of
years. The party is purging itself of
backsliders on the one hand and has
adopted a system of training to raise
the present crop of babies from the
cradle to be the real simon-pure
article.
Natures the Same
This undoubtedly is necessary.
Aside from the 100000 above re-
ferred to it is fairly safe to assume
that Russians have changed their
name but not their nature. F'unda-
mentally they are no different from
people the world over. Their women
have a woman's vanities. Their
men have the vanities of men. Both
are human with human weaknesses
as well as human virtues. Why
shouldn't they want money and lots
of it and the things that money will
buy?
Russia today wears her shabbiness
like cloak. But like cloak it will
some day be put off. Silk stockings
and all they typify doubtlessly are as
dear to the secret soul Of Russian
girl as they are to any other girl.
And the test of the Russian expert
hent lies in that simple thing: The
human equation. don't believe they
can raise babies-not masses of
them anyhow. totally lacking in
human frailties.

Mrs. Myrtle Hayman; mell-kLown

statement:
I know what it is to suffer, and
I also know that Konjola is the only
medicine that finally ended my
neuritis and other health troubles,
and l will always recommend this
new compound above anything else, +"

hour Of the night. My health was
so bad that finally my nerves gave
way, and my whole system was in
dreadful condition.
IT knew that Konjola had helped
so many other people, and / had
faith in this medicine. After 1 had
taken the first few doses I mas sure
it was just what my system had
always needed. I've taken about
bottles now, and I am ready and
willing to say that my health is
completely restored. 1 don't have a
single touch of neuritis any more,
and can venture away from my
home with confidence, knowing my
limbs are free and active. That numb,
helpless feeling is gore, and I don't
have the pains in my arms or hands.
The condition of my stomach seems
to be excellent, because I never have
Indigestion, heartburn or any Of the
pains I suffered before. / believe
my kidneys are sound and normal,

ALLEGED SLAYER
 IS BEING HUNTED
Posse Bombing Mountains Of
 Pennsylvania

New Bloomfield, Pa. Dec. 10 R-- State police today were searching the mountains of Perry county and surrounding territory for Paul Sheaf- fer, sought for the deaths of MT. and Mrs. George D. Shull and the at tempted kidnapping of their daugh- ter, Mrs Lester Kell. A reward has been offered for the capture Of Sheaffer by J. w. Cooper, of Harris burg, d nephew of the Shull family.
 Sheaffer, believed to be demented, is said to have demanded money from his employers, and when they refused, clubbed them to death, as the heads of both MT. and Mrs. Shull were crushed by heavy blows.
 The body of Shull, covered with a corn shock, was found in a field, where the men had gone to work. Mrs. Shull was beaten to death at her home when Sheaffer returned alone from the field and demanded money from her. With the mother at the time was Mrs. kell, who joined in pleas for mercy.
 When Mrs. Shull fell unconscious Sheaffer turned his attention to the daughter, and needing her plea for life, grabbed her by the hair and half dragged her into the Shull auto- mobile. Sheaffer started the car to- ward Harrisburg, something went wrong with the car and he got out to repair it. Mrs. Kell drove away and later collapsed after colliding with truck. She was taken home.
 In the meantime, Sheaffer. de- scribed as six feet tall with red hair and freckles, escaped.

St. Albans, Vt. Dec. 10 Pl-All border patrolmen and inspectors in this district today received orders to make special efforts to check the ex- pected holiday flow of liquor from Canada. The prohibition forces have had half-hearted cooperation from winter. The recent cold has locked the bays of Lake Champlain against rum loading operations. A barrage of snow was laid down over all the border district, but the roads have been reopened to automobile traffic.
 Collector Whitehill was assigned 26 patrol cars, each manned by two inspectors, to strategic points and this force will be bolstered by immi- grafton patrolmen.
 Just across the border, holiday preparations are reported in full swing. One tavern, not far from here, has filled a large shed with cases of ale and has an extra staff of walters on hand.
