Life Better"
Because of
Struggles
BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON


A wise young Wellesley senior says
that college girls have few ideas
about life aad she advocates that
they visit the slums and do some So
cial service work,
Even then she is something of an
optimist. Because, while visiting
the slulns and gazing with round
eyes at the poverty and sorrow and
misery of another helps some, none
of us ever knows much about life
until we have lived it.
College girls, as the young lady
points out, are likely to be snobs
who actually know very little. And
so are college boys, we might add.
And a lot of fat stock brokers, and
Rotary members and social service
workers.
Life is a magnificent adventure.
And while one pities the poverty
stricken slum dweller, one should
save bit of pity also for the very
rich man or woman who never has
known the surging joy of struggling
for the goodies of existence.
Farm Woman Sees Life
The hard driven farm woman,
With a sore heart and too busy
hands, gets something splendid out
of life, if she is real and worth
while person, that does not come
to the rich and padded city apart
ment house dweller who does
nothing but waste her days.
This is why girls like the little
Wellesley senior make these jaunts
into the slun1s, and why in increas-
ing numbers the daughters of the
rich are doing spectacular and un-
usual things. They are tired OF
vegetating. And who can blame
them?
The best way for a girl to expe-
rience life, however, to feel it, taste
it and be washed in floods of it, is
to marry some worthy young man
who loves her and set about deny
ing herself for the sake of a future
home.
Struggle Is Needed
It's rather pitiful thing that all
of us long so ardently for lots and
lots OF money-so that we may dc
what?-"Go places and see things.
Quite so.
But the really happy people Of
this or any other country are those
who live simple lives from which a
certain physical or mental struggle
never is eliminated. If you woulc
finG genuine content and norma.
living, you must search for it among
the middle classes who are obllgeo
to do certain amount of work.

Engagement
Should Not
Be Lengthy
BY MARTHA LEE

Among the questions bothering
Young men and women since young
men we're aware of the fact that
there were young women is the
advissbility Of a long engagement.
The way TO solve that problem Is
The same method used in the solving
Of any problem. In the first place.
lake the advantages of lengthy
troth
After a girl has promised her
voun0 man she is willing to spend
the rest of her life in his company.
he is reasonably assured of the fact
that, barring accidents, he is to have
wife to support and a home to
maintain.
And the long engagement gives
him ample time in which to save
money, buy furniture, and change
his mind in the event he so desires.
Chance of Misunderstanding
The girl has time to collect a pre-
possessing hope chest, embroider
tea toWles. have showers and the
like. But the disadvantages also
must be considered.
There are the chances Of mis-.
understanding brought about by
the million and one incidents that
come up during the betrothal. The
hszv. indefinite time when the mar
rage is to eliminate makes the
engagement seem only a deep
friendship.
And then, there is the possibility
Of the romance wearing down until
it has lost all its beauty and
glsmor.
A young girl has bombarded me
with questions, the most important
of which I am going to answer.
Dear Miss Lee-Not long ago I took
YOUR advice on a problem and IT worked
out lovely. Now # Won will answer these
DO YOU think p boy respects p girl
more If she does not smofe2
What IS your opinion Of long engage
Does it seem to YOU that bows are more
interested in ? girl who IS cool toward
him and keeps his guessing. or one that
sushes over him. one he Is sure o.
To begin with. Shorty. I do sup
pose It depends a great deal upon
the type of boy whether he would
respect a girl or fail to respect her
because she smoked. There are
l7oys who rather would see a girl
dead than with a Cigaret in her
mouth. There are others who
think no more of it than if she
we're a man. I can not imagine
how setting his standard OF respect
or disrespect on anything SO super
fetal
Long Engagement Taboo
A long engagement is taboo as
far as I am concerned. If there
must be question of length. it
should be a long friendship The
only excuse for a long engagement
is to learn more about the boy to
whom you are engaged, and that
should be done before the engage
ment is made a fact.
The second reason would be finan-
ciaI. and no man has right to ask
a girl to marry until he Is flnan-
cially able to support her.
Concerning gushing. it never is in
GOOD taste, for any purpose what
soever. A girl does not have to
plan a guessing game with the boy
she goes with. There are much
more satisfactory ways Of letting
roy know he is approved of than
lev gushing over him.

CMART coats for next win
- ter are going to favor the
princess line rather strongly.
Very "dressy" models often
will be of rich fabrics, such as
brocades and velvets, and will
be of elaborate workmanship.
And while the princess Silhou-
cite will be the guiding point Of
inspiration, we shall see it treated
in thousand and one new ways.
These coat models will be intri-
cately trimmed with bands Of fiat
fur or with ruchings at collar and
cuffs.
FulIness will be given these models
in number of ways, sometimes
simply through skillful bias cutting,
but more often through carefully
planned incrusted point, and
through shirrings.
WE also may note for winter the
w probability of a decided depar-
ture in sleeves, which up to now
have nodded closely the shape OF
the arm.
In word, balloon sleeves will
make their appearance, both for
coats and dresses. In many cases
the dress will be of plain material
and the sleeves printed in harmon
izing colors.
The draped sleeve also will make
its temperance, but in order to
avoid a bunchy lock the draping
will be between elbow and wrist
only.
And speaking of draping, we
might add that draped dresses and
coats are commencing to make their
appearance. Truly, the days of
simple simplicity are over-for the
time being!

we fail to appreciate its significance,

study. not just a matter of luck or
of talent.
In this weeks illustrated leaf

A Firm Battle Front Against
the Rights and ConCiliators

MOSCOW Qnprecor, by MaiD -
After Molotov's concluding speech
the Party Conference of the Mos
cow District unanimously adopted
resolution which fully and COM
pletely endorses the political and or
ganizational line and the work of
the Central Committee of the Com
munist Party of the Soviet Union.
The Conference holds the line of the
Communist Party of the Soviet
Union in the Comintern as entirely
correct, and affirrns that the esti-
mate of the international situation
of the past period by the Sixth Con-
gress of the Comintern has been
fully corroborated. In the period of
new struggles the Communist Party
must carry on an especially sharp
struggle against the social democ-
racy, particularly its cleft wing;
at the same time it must continue
the struggle against Trotskyist ten
denotes, and also carry on an ire
concilable struggle against the
right, oppoltunist deviations and
conciliatory tendencies as the main
danger of the present period.
The Conference endorses the
peaceful external policy of the Soviet
government, but confirms the dan
ger of a war of the imperialists
against the Soviet Union. This dan
ger urges upon the Soviet Union
greater activity toward the growth
and Strengthening of the Red Army.
The Conference records a series of
great achievements by the Party in
the industrialization of the country,
calls special attention to the diff
culties involved and affirmS that
the Central Committee of the Com
munist Party of the Soviet Union,
based upon the international and in
ner situation, correctly carried out
the policy of a rapid and accelerated
tempo of naturalization. A slack
ching of the tempo of industrializa-
ton would inevitably lead to weak
ening of the international position
of the Soviet Union and at the same
time weaken the position of the pro-
letarian dictatorship and the social
list reconstruction of the country.
The Conference rejects the talk
about an alleged decline of agricul-

ture, and gives it's full and complete
endorsement of the support given
to the poor and middle peasantry as
well as of the unrelenting offensive
against the capitalist kulak ele-
ments in the village. The resolu-
ton declares that the execution of
Lenin's cooperative plan, of which
the collectivization of agriculture is
an inseparable constituent, will rad
ically improve agriculture and will
PUT an end to the exploitation of
the day~laborers agricultural labor
crs) AMI poor peasants by the ku-
laks. The execution of this coop
erative plan will put an end to the
century old backwardness of the vii
lage, as compared with the town.
In the present period of Socialist
reconstruction, which in the final
analysis leads to the abolition of
classes, there is taking place an in
evitable sharpening Of the class
struggle. Whereas the Party in the
first period of the New Economic
Policy put into effect Lenin's slo-
gan, Learn Commerce." and
achieved important results as re-
CARDS the suppression of the pri-
vate trader, the greatest stress is
now laid on the struggle between
Socialism and capitalism as to the
further path of development of re-
tail goods production.
The Conference endorses the mea-
sures taken by the Central Commit
tee in its struggle against Trotsky-
ism as a bourgeois, counter-revolu-
tionary current, and at the same
time calls special attention to GER
tain effects of Trotskyist and semi
Trotskyist tendencies within the
Party. The resolution points out the
necessity of an unrelenting struggle
against the Trotskyists and against
any support of the counter-revolu-
| tionary role of Trotskyism.

By NJ. Schorr (Xienna)

Up to the year 1927 Austria was
onsidered to be the most democra-
ic of all the Central European re-
publics. 1t is true that the Austri-
an bourgeoisie and its Seipel gov
eminent cherished strong sympa-
thy for fascist Italy in particular
and fascism in general. 1t is true
that armed fascist groups existed
in Austria as a supplementary
troop of the bourgeoisie, and it is
true that these armed groups often
committed MUIR of workers and
were afterwards acquitted by the
bourgeois courts, but still, the gen.
eral policy of the Austrian bourge-
oisie could not be termed fascist.
With the 18th of July, 1927, how
ever, the day on which the Vienna
working class rose in protest
gairst fascism and wero treated to
a terrible blood-bath, fascism con-
solidated itself in Austria. This
did not come as result of : putsch
from the right, by coup d'etat or
in any similar fashion. The rea-
sons were very different. For this
reason, the change Of policy in Aus
tria towards fascism has passed al
most unnoticed in the rest of Eu-
rope. When o-, speaks today of
fascism in Austria to circles out
side of Austria even anti-fascist
circles, one meets with incredulity.
We therefore consider it necessary
to draw the attention of the inter-
