Students in Negro colleges are read
ing with interest the report brought
back from Soviet Russia by Richard
Hurst Hill, senior at Lincoln Uni
versity, and published this week as
the leading article in Afro-American,
ranked as one of the most influential
race papers in America.
Hill went to the Soviet Union as
the result of a scholarship award from
a New York student group, won
through membership on the Lincoln
debating team which defeated Oxford
last winter. He was most impress
sed with the progress of education
in the Soviet Union.
"All education is free in Russia,
including colleges and professional
schools, he reports. 'rNot only is
tuition free but board, lodging and
other expenses of the students are
paid by the government. Compulsory
education laws are enforced in many
places and even workers in the fac
tories manage to spend two or three
hours day in study.
Ask About U. S. Lynchings.
"The lowest peasant on Russian
farms is better informed about the
economic conditions of this country
and of other countries than the aver
age American, Hill found. "Stand-
ing for q few hours on an isolated
Russian farm talking with peas

treating and lynching colored people
in the southern part of the United
States?'

republican tariff. Textile workers,

workers in highly protected indus
tries, know by experience what a
sorry joke the tariff lis on the four
million operatives and dependents in
their own industry.
No less a parsonage than Ambassa-

ment that the murder Of Sacco and

the good reasons why American tar

sons too, including British influence
in Argentina, controversies over en-
bargoes placed on Argentine goods
and the Monroe Doctrine.
The spy provision in the tariff act
is sure to be deleted in the session.
These spies are charged with find
ing out production costs in foreign
countries for the purpose Of keeping
those very commodities out of the
United States. Naturally these COM
nlercial agents are about as welcons
abroad as American naval or diplo-
matte spies. Most countries have &C.

tina anti-American sentiment is now
so strong that they will not be toler-
ated at all.

By JULIUS ALPARI.

Gin the previous installment Com
rade Alpari tells of his offer to pre-
sent to the Youth Conference the re-
port on the economic question if he
were allowed to attack the refOrmist
conceptions of Danneburg.)
1t was not difficult to convince
Liebknecht on this point. But l had
also to win over de Man, the secre-
tary of the international centre. When
/ had succeeded in this l was able to
set about the work, and discussed my
report repeatedly with Liebknecht
He agreed that in the first instance
we should concentrate on the youth
in large-scale industry. The demands
of my resolution met with approval.
AS far as | can remember today he
criticized that had set the limits for
compulsory education too low; he in
sisted that the Importance of special
youth organizations for the economic
struggle be more sharply defined.
For the rest he, merely made some
changes in style, especially in the
theoretical section of my resolution
where he considered many formula
tions too trite. He found fault with
the statement that only with the
growth Of machinery had real exploit
tation of the youth begun. l did not
want to give in on this point and
urged that the most acute exploita-
ton Of apprentices took place in small
industries as a result of competition
with the machine We had not decided
our dispute prior to the conference.
Liebknecht based his argument on
manufacture, which already carried
on large scale exploitation of children.

work of women and children was the
first word in the capitalist applica-
ton Of machinery. This powerful
substitute Of work and workers places
the entire working class family under
the heel Of capital" Finally, we
found a formulation which satisfied
all parties.
Opposed Workshop.
On the economic programme there
were no further. differences of opin-
ion. Only one point was the cause Of
heated discussion, namely, national
apprenticeship workshops. Dame

exploitation of apprentices. He de-

WASHINGTON, Sept. 20 (FP).-
American export trade, right at the
zenith Of it's prosperity and penetra-
ton into foreign markets, seems
poised also on the brink of disastrous
.reverses.
With dizzying rapidity, lightning
strokes have been launched by for
eign business interests against Amer
lean trade, and at the same time
severe assaults have been levelled
against American foreign policy and
the entire fabric of hitherto unchal-
lenged supremacy
Critical Moment.
Coming right at the moment when
American domestic production and
trade are visibly headed downward,
with unemployment jumping ahead at
a dangerous pace, the foreign attacks
seem to be timed to complete an en-
tire discontinue of cocksure indus
trialism which has reigned in New
York and Washington SO confidently
since 1921. A quick tumblirg of the
prestige of the Coolidge Mellon
Hoover political machinery and diff
ficult times for the spectators who
have run amuck in the New York
stock exchange are seen as direct re-
suits of the worldwide bombardment,
directed monlentarily from France,
Argentina, Panama and Canada and
aimed at tariff provisions and other
trade detectives.
England AS Enemy.
The Geneva naval arms fiasco,
bringing out the British Empire as
the main foe Of the United States
government, may well have started
the serious slide downward of Amer
lean prestige, but the Sacco-Yanzetti
case, the American Legion invasion
of Paris and the insolent attitude of
American manufacturers in insisting
on easy access to foreign markets
while closing their own home market
are the big factors.
Hoover In Decline.
On the political field, the echoes of
the sudden decline in prestige, pro-
duction and foreign favor are to be
observed in the trend away from
Coolidge and Hoover as presidential
possibilities in 1928 and the signifi-
cant statement of Andrew Mellon,
boss of the eastern republican party,
that he is for Hughes, who has di-
vorced himself from the present adj
The revolt of the Chi
cago bankers against the Mellon-con-
trolled Federal Reserve Board indi-
Gates further division which comes
with reverses.
In the meantime the state and COM
merce departments tumble about ner-
vously in an effort to solve the con-
tradictions of the Fordney- McCumber
tariff act in International relations.
Frances action in raising her duties
on American imports to a level with
the American tariff on French i'm
ports has created havoc in the camp
of the high tariff crowd. Protests
are beside the point: Even the Fran
cophile sentimentalists are little as
tonished that France should grant
favored nation concessions to Ger
many, the late enemy, while boosting
duties on goods from America, the
well known savior.

Bank of Cicero, a suburb, today and
escaped with $4,000, of which $780,
600 was cash, $4,000 checks, and

more dignity. A lining is also desira.

self from the ravages of sunlight and
dust coming in through the window
Curtains. to be properly made, should
be made wrong -side-out with the lining
attached to them by hand. They
should then be turned right-side-out
and properly finished. The lining
should be attached at both sides of
the curtain about an inch from the
edge of the curtains, but should hang
loose at the bottom an inch or so
above the hem. The lining should
extend to the top Of the curtain.
French Pleats Satisfactory.
French pleats are generally the
most satisfactory way of finishing
lined curtains at the top. These
pleats should be placed about six
inches apart, although this measure
ment Will vary according to the size
of the curtain. At the back of this
pleat should be a French hook which
will fit oyer a ring on q rod and as
sure easy manipulation of the curtain.
When French pleats are used one
should figure on 100 per cent fullness
In the curtains If they are to be pulled
together to cover the entire window
at night. This means that IL a win
dow is 30 inches wide there should be
so inches of material or two strips 80
inches wide on either side. More full
ness is, of course, desirable in thinner
curtains, while heavier materials may
be less full. Curtains that are shirred
do not, of course. require so much
fullness. nor do curtains that are not
intended for traversing. The French
pleat is far more attractive than a
shirred finish for a heavy curtain. as
1t holds the material in permanent
folds and always gives it finished

overcurtain treatments for several diff
ferent types of windows.

The design of the curtain Is also
dependent upon the period and archi.
tectural design of the room. In homes
furnished in English or early Ameri-
can styles. straight overcurtains hang
ing about 6 to s inches below
the window easement are effective. In
these rooms longer curtains would be
out of place as being too formal and
too "dressy." In more formal Colonial
homes with their higher ceilings and
in French rooms and later English
homes. curtains are best hung from
the top of the window frame to an
inch or two from the floor. In such
rooms they are usually more effective
Ii Topped back in graceful curves to
the window frame. In Spanish and
Italian houses the curtains again
should hang to the floor and may ne
draped back or hung straight, accord
ing to the special room in question.
Some Frames Should Show.
The design of the window frame is
large factor in the design of the
curtains and their location. If the
windows are wide and the framework
very lovely, as is often the case in
old houses. 1t is sometimes desirable
to hang the overcurtains inside the
frame so that the woodwork itself
frames the picture and so that the
curtains do not hide the delicate cary
ing. This, of course, narrows the
window and is practicable in but few
houses, in these days of narrow win
dows. (See top drawings in sketch)
All too frequently the woodwork
surrounding the windows Is ugly and
may best be covered entirely by cur
tains which should be hung from the
extreme edges of the frame, and so
that the top of the curtain comedies
with the top of the frame. Many win
dows are too narrow for sufficient
light, therefore all possible light must
be conserved and none of it cut out
by overcurtains. In extreme cases
the curtains may be hung on rods
which extend onto the wall at either
side of the window. Windows that
are too short may be given a desira-
BILE longer appearance by having the
curtains extend from rod on the
wall above them. In this event, of
course, it is necessary either to have

tors. Beyond these. one must con-
slider the lighting of the room, the
shape and use of the window and the
relation between the window treat
ment and the other features i'm the
room.
IL the walls are plain and the rugs
either small In design or plain, the
curtains may be stronger in color and
more striking in pattern than If the
design Is carried throughout the room,
either in wall coverings or in the rugs.
The color OF the curtains is, of
course, most important If the room
is dark and the light is from the
North. curtains should be of those
colors which produce light, such as
yellows and soft orange shades. If
the room is flooded with light and IL
1t has sunny exposure. the cooler
colors and those which absorb light
may be used. In all events the color
of the curtains must be in harmony
with the rest of the room.
Should Follow Period.
The design and texture of the over
curtains should be in direct relation
with the period style of the room.
italian and Spanish and early English
rooms may have curtains of brocades
linens with rather bold and richly
colored designs. Rooms that are
French in character will call for mate
rails in more delicate designs and
softer. colors true to the period. Silks.
damasks, linens and toile de joies and
some chintzeS adapt themselves to
such rooms. Colonial rooms can use
the same materials. Here. as in
French rooms soft colors should be
used rather than the garish, brilliant
ones.
1t is difficult to give any general
rules about overcurtains, inasmuch as
each selection is a problem in itself.
AS a general rule. however, stripes
should be avoided, especially wher cur
tains are to be drawn back, as these
curved lines will disturb the architec-
tural lines of the room. Also, plain
materials and those which have de-
signs in the same color are apt to be
more dignified and restful than those
muiti-colored designs. They
are safer for the amateur to work
with.
