Dear Comrades: 1 hope you don't go to a school

But now am very glad, for vacation is almost here.
My parents always thought it would be better for
me to go to school where they teach you something
else, something worth while learning. But as we
poor workers and cannot afford to go to
better" SCHOOL, we'll have to do the best we can. In
our school the teacher talks about the bible and
the priests but don't believe it. If the teachers
don't know any better than to believe in such things
then let them just go talking.
l was reading the story of Little Red Riding
Hood, and the Wolf" to my little sister and after
I finished it, I thought to myself "Well I'm glad
there aren't any wolves in this country" But
then thought came to my mind. ooh! But the
capitalists much worse than wolves. They make
many workers die by working them long hours at
hard work for little pay"

follow Comrade Ruthenberg's last words Eight

Fung left the without another word, showing
thereby that he would not tolerate any explanations
When the left to themselves Mrs.
Fung got up from her silk-covered armchair, APP
preached her daughters, took them in her arms
and kissed them while the Tears were streaming
from her eyes. She said: Children, you know your
father he is very strict he wants to be obeyed and
he must be obeyed, this is your duty Moreover
he is quite right These books here are subversve
Their titles alone are enough to make you unreason-
able! Free Marriage Sex Equality Free Love-
All this is pure folly! When l was young one never
heard of such things. AS to these with
short hair who with great effrontery speak such
nonsense from public Platforms your father is
about right when he calls them mad for what other
epithet could give to these beings, neither
women, devoid of modesty and bashfulness?
Then again, these meetings frequented by men,
women, girls and boys pell-mell, without any dis
tinction of sex class, at which old rub
shoulders with young ladies and the poor sit side
by side with the rich If this continues, it will be
the end of everything My dear girls, women are
women, they have always been and always be in
ferlor to men, Women are bound by the three
obediences'* and the four conducts ~
"The three obediences- and the four conducts
constitute our only treasure and our only qualities
They are the beauty and grandeur of our sex. And
these women are trying to destroy them Women
emancipated? The idea of it, they will be
that! Otherwise they will longer be women!
My dear children, l your mother I more
experienced than you. | advise you, | COM
mand you to obey your father, and :. " Just
then servant entered the room, made deep obei-
sance to Mrs. Fung and said: Madam, my master
wants you"

sister Xuan-Van (Spring Cloud, aged II.
$50 have l."
"For the revolution"
"And goodbye to the family"
They quickly scrubbed letter each to say good
bye and placed them in their mothers work-Das-
ket. Then they collected the books, confiscated by
their father Mr.. Fung placed them on the table as
material of circumstantial evidence and left the
paternal house.
Poor mother!" And they could not help signing
when looking for the last time at Mrs. Fung's por-
trait and shutting the door of their home behind
them.
In Western countries it is simple matter for
young girls to leave their family. But this is quite
different matter in China particularly if the girls
belong to bourgeois families.
The "three obediences' say that in her girl
hood woman obeys her father, married, she obeys
her husband, a widow, she has to obey her eldest
SON.
** The "four conducts are: Submission, modesty
Pepf~aSss, passivity.

The time has come to unite as one
Against the barriers of civilization,
We will struggle till the game is won
To build a clean, just nation!

As would be if there is will and strength
And if necessary the barriers in CRIME will roll
Just to show there is life at length

DUELIST ON BENCH ASKED
IF DUELlNG is FRIGHT"
French Minister of Justice, Many
Times on Field of Honor,
Faces Issue.

PARIS, February 21.-Louis Bar
thou, minister Of justice, who more
than once has violated French law by
resorting to sword or pistol on the
field of honor, is asked to decide
whether or not dueling is right.
The law against dueling is seldom
dug up. A few test cases in years
past have ended in equivocal deci-
sions or dismissals. Arrests rarely
are made unless death or serious in
jury is caused.
Barthou, duelist in the past. is
e the chief. of the courts and the maker
of judicial policies.
One higher court recently publicly
condemned duels and duelists, say
ing the system is ridiculous and out
Of fashion.
Another court of exactly the same
rank publicly told a group of "fas-
cists." prosecuted for a row with roy
alists. that they ought to have settled
the matter by duel.
Friends and enemies of the right
of might now want to know where
the duel stands in France. They
want the minister of Justice to de-
clare himself on subject of which he
has such personal knowledge.
