With the government holding a mon
,Opoly Of all foreign trade-thus being
the sole financial beneficiary from
such trade and usually profiting fur

trade-it might be argued that larger
imports would not only benefit the
state but satisfy the public demand
and stimulate the circulation without
affecting the stability of the currency.
The policy has also restricted the pur-

Official figures covering the in
dustrial and rural production Of the
Union of the Soviet Socialist Re
publics have been used extensively
recently in speeches by Leon Kane
new. member of the presidium, and
Gregoire Sokolnikoy. Commissar of
finance. The eight years of the re
public since 1917 are historically di-
Nided into four years OF revolution
and destruction and four years of
peace and reconstruction. The last
sWo years may be taken a indicative
of the steady development of the
country.
Included in the figures are esti-
mates based on the governments
program for the present fiscal year,
which started only the first of this
month. The official totals for the
TWO preceding years and this esti-
mate are:

Inducements to Work.

More significant than the increase
IN the totals Is the increase in the
average amount which the workers
produce. The Russian worker has
always been easy going. dividing his
l2-hour day between talk, loafing and
real work. The Communist govern

Of communism are responsible for
it, The worker IS paid in money at

in addition to his regular stipend,
is paid for overtime and has other
rights. some of which are COM

unions obtain for their members in
other countries.
More than all else however. the
worker now is expected to have an in

il more severely called to account than
under the old system of long hours
and little work. The Russian worker
now has an eight-hour day, his ma
chinery is older and more dilapidated
than this same machinery was before
I he war, so that his increase in pro
ductire capacity is much greater than
the mere figures show.

If there is a member Of the family
away from home, the dress form
made from her exact figure is espe
cially valuable, used in connection
with such plain foundation or guide
pattern. For example, the daughter
at college who has left her form"
with her mother can send home a
sketch or picture or commercial pat
tern she likes, and receive a properly
fitting dress as soon as the mother
finds time to make 1t.
Fitting Over Garments.
Another way in which the dress
form is blessing to the home sewer
is In fitting over garments bought
ready made. Straps on petticoats and
brassieres are often too long or too
near the armpits, and 1t is exceeding
ly difficult to get them just right on
oneself. Again a ready-made dress
may need minor adjustments on the
shoulders or hip line, to set well, and
here the dress form helps. Nothing Is
more exasperating than to sew on a
washable collar and find that the ends
do not come where they should. II
they are first pinned in place on the
form such wasted labor, and much
irritation, are avoided. The woman
with a talent for designing her own
clothes can work out her ideas di-
rectly on the form.

A remarkable impetus was given TO
home sewing through the teaching, In
connection with extension work for
rural women, of the method of max
ing gummed-paper dress form. AS
the popularity of this sewing aces
sorry has spread over the entire coun-
try, it would be difficult to say where
it originated, or to estimate with any
accuracy the number that have been
made altogether. Reports received
by the United States Department of
Agriculture from several of the West
ern states say that home demonstra-
ton agents are no longer called upon
to explain how paper dress forms are
made because practically every wom-
an who wants one has one.
Uses Are lnnumerabIe.
The uses to which the dress form
can be put are innumerable. First
and most important is It's use in fit
ting oneself; that is exceedingly nee
essary when the farm home is located
at considerable distance from the
nearest neighbor, and time Is too
precious to spend running back and
forth for help in fittings. The women
in the Missouri group Illustrated are

Individual form, preparatory to max
ing a permanent foundation pattern

OLD-FASHIONED
BOILED DINNER
With Corned Beef as Main
Feature 1t Is Popular.

prepared by the United States Department
Of AgricultureO
On good many days there is need
for a dinner easily prepared which will
almost cook itself while the housewife
is busy with cleaning, turning out clos
cts, or possibly with garden work. For
such days the old-fashioned boiled
dinner" answers every purpose, with
it's corned beef as the main feature,
and the mixture of vegetables usually
associated with It. There is an impor-
tant difference, however, in the mod
ern method of cooking this dinner as
compared with the way In which 1t
would still be prepared in many coun-
try districts. This difference is In the
attention given to short cooking the
vegetables, all Of which, of course, re-
quire far less time than the corned
beef. In the old-fashioned boiled din
ner' the vegetables were often boiled
to DEATH" at least the vitamines In
them were, and so the dinner defeated
the very purpose it was intended to
serve-that of being a means of COM
bining various vegetables in one dish.
The right way of cooking boiled
dinner suggested by the bureau of
home economics of the United States
Department of Agriculture, therefore,
is to cook the meat alone until 1t Is
thoroughly done. If you have a fire.
less cooker you will find 1t very useful
for this. AS the vegetables are to be
cooked only for the shortest possible
time, it will be easier to finish the
cooking on the top Of the stove.
You will require about 21s pounds of
corned beef, which should be mostly
lean. OF course, If you prefer to use
ham, tongue, salt pork or any other
cured meat you may do so, or use fresh
meat If your family likes it better. In
that case select any Of the somewhat
cheaper cuts Of lean meat suitable for
stewing or pot roasting. There should
be, as rule, at least one and prefer
ably two other vegetables besides po-
tatoes. This recipe suggests small
quantities of six vegetables which COM
bine well In flavor, but If you do not
have all of them on hand, use what
you can get or add others. String
beans, beets or tomatoes might be add
ed or substituted for any of the follow
ing:
Here is our list of ingredients: pa
pounds Of lean corned beef, white or
yellow turnips, or 5 carrots, 3 medi-
um-sized onions, / small bunch Of eel
cry, potatoes, "a head of cabbage,
green II possible: or 3 quarts of wa
ter to cover, and salt If needed. Cut
the onions In halves and the other
vegetables into quarters or pieces of
desirable size. Cut the cabbage into
slices suitable for serving.
If the meat be from particularly
strong cure or is particularly high in
salt, it may be best to parboil it by
bringing it slowly to simmer, and
then simmering 1t for 10 minutes.

Norton for the exchange of two
pounds of fudge for a brace of wild
duck. The Saturday before Thanks
giving, she gave the house It's usual
lick and promise and then started
out with her skates to enjoy the first
Ice of the season.
She had glorious morning. There
was no snow and the lake had frozen
crystal clear. The air was breathless.
AS she skated she chanted, to impro-
vised tunes, bits of verse.
She hunted through Scottish noun
tains and moors, she whirled from
Client to AK and still high-hearted

Lydia had produced a pasteboard

to Margery. She cuddled Florence

ear to Margery's questions as to the
names and personalities of the paper
dolls, the other to Elviry's comments.

Lizzie opened her mouth to speak
but Lydia shook her head, and the
two stood in silence, watching the de-
parture of the visitors. When the
door had closed Lizzie burst forth in
an angry TRADE, but Lydia only half
listened. She looked slowly around
the living room, then walked into the
dining room and thence into the
kitchen. She opened the pantry door
and stared at the dust and disorder,
the remnants of food, the half-washed
dishes.
She came slowly back into the liv-
