exactly. The Ruhr worker pays a
smaller part of his wages for rent
a minimum of 25-35smarks per month,
but he cannot have more than two
rooms for that sum. In these rooms
toilet facilities are practically non
existent. Ruhr workers ges fresh
meat rarely; prepared meat (sausage)
infrequently,--the bulk of their diet
is potatoes and cabbage. Fresh fruits
and vegetables are very high. Milk
and butter are unusual in the homes
of the Ruhr workers. The Pittsburg
workers have more fresh meat and
many more fresh vegetables and
fruits; they drink more milk and use
more butter.
Children of the Ruhr workers can
60 to the free conmcn schools until
they are about IA. They rarely go
farther. In the Pit sburgh area
many workers children go to free
high schools until they are II or IS
years old, and frequently they go to
one Of the local colleges, technical
schools or universities.
Ruhr workers frequently have
bicycles, cheap radio sets and phono-
graphs Occasionally bath ,ubs. All
most never pianos and automobiles.
Pittsburgh workers regard bicycles
superciliously. They have Tar
superior radio sets to those of their
Ruhr fellow workers; better talking
machines; many have bath-tubs,
pianos and autos.
Better Organized.
Evidently, the Pittsburgh worker
has more surplus, above his actual
necessaries, than the Ruhr worker.
At the same time the percentage Of
wor ers who are organized in the
Ruhr is greater than the percentage
organized in the Pittsburg area, and
the opportunity to organize is far
greater in Germany than it is in Pitts
burgh.
The real parallel between Pits
burgh and the Ruhr is that in both
areas masses of workers have pre-
carious hold on jobs which WELD them
little or nothing above bare living,
while the owners of the same jobs
stock and bondholders in great in
dustrial corporations--are able TO live
in ample luxury upon the exploited
labor Of mine, rail and mill workers.

 Persons YiCtimiZed

Mexico City. March 26 (Pt-Strons guards of troops patrolled one of Mcyico's most important highways today while others secured the foot hills for q band of highwaymon who on Saturday held up four auto mobiles and II automobile buses and robbed about 900 persons.
 Because Dwight W. Morrow American ambassador, was sched uled to pass along the road at the time of the robbery, the affair was held in some quarters to be an at tempt on the part of insurgents 10 embarrass the Mexican government.
 MT. Morrow was travelling along the road which leads from Pucbla to Mexico City and arrived at the point 25 miles from the capital where the robbery occurred three hours after the robbers had scattered.
 The robbers were believed by some to be under the leadership of two notorious highwaymen known as "The One Eye" and "The Negro"
 The Pueb,a correspondent Of Fl Universal, who was in the first bus stopped, in an eyewitness account said:
 The robbers were very polite. They used no oaths and their com mander. who was called General" by his men, returned some money to victims who complained that they were broke after making their "con- trbutions." The chief also gave money to some poor women when search revealed they possessed none.

 Mis Brsslin explains that "the very thorough gentle cleansing that one gets from Lux suds is excellent for the skin" She adds:
 However, the good effect of this thorough cleansing is lost and much harm done, if ordinary household soap is used. Such soaps often con- tain harmful alkalis. which dry up the oils of the skin, leading to wrin- kles and coarsening of texture.
 Lux is 60 mild that it protects the skin oils and soothes the skin.
