| Hell kill the soldiers"
"But if he amt got no livorvert
he won't kill. :"
That's how he cuts Petka short
But Petka thought for a moment
and said:
you're fool, Antropka"
Grishka said nothing, but he
thought:
'Do they shut their eyes wher
they're being shot?"
And suddenly he seemed to see il
clearly before him: they do! His
heart shuddered, like Antropka's.
The shots ceased. The children
waited: will there be more? But
none followed. Then came sleep; ii
closed their eyelids and deadened all
thoughts. Only Antropka moaned
family in his slumber.
+
IN the morning, when the sun be-
gan to grow warm, everything be-
came living and joyful. The dark
ness disappeared and carried gloomy
feelings away with it. Behind the
cemetery wall the children played at
"Gubcheka" and executions" Pet
ka acted as President of the Cub
cheka. He pretended to hold a re-
volver in one hand and to work a
machine-gun with the other. Polka
and Aniutka were to be shot to
death. Antropka and Grishka were
the executioners. Grishka COM
manded merrily:
"Shut your eyes! Shut your
eyes!"
There was neither sacrilege, nor
fear, nor anger in the children's
ringing cries. In all simplicity they
reproduced the life of adults. and
the warm sun shone kindly down
upon them, as if promising by its
caresses that when they would invent
a new game, they would forget this
one.
1t was jolly day. The ami
versary of the Paris Commune was
being celebrated. At the children's
dining room dinners were to be had
without cards. The cemetery dwell
lers were among the first Corners
and they had their snack. And then
they walked about in the STREETS with
the other people, following red flags.
They sang the international" On
the squares, high wooden platforms
were draped in red. On the plat
forms stood Communists who waved
their arms and shouted something
about the Paris Commune. Grishka
liked one of them best of all. Big,
shaggy, full-throated! You could
hear him way off! He runs to and
fro on the platform, shakes his
name, and then suddenly bangs the
railing with his fist:

the duration of the reactionary out

reactionary, thru the Pulpito Pass

general Gales that the Almazan

the remaining reactionaries. 1t is
also believed that quick action by
Almazan will cut off the reaction

The rapid retreat north of the

STORY OF LIFE in the u S. SR. By LYDIA SEIFJILNA

Grigori Ivanov ich Peskov
(Grishka), a homeless waif, is
sent to a home for juenile delin-
quents in a Siberian town. His
restless spirit finds the constraint
here hard to endure and he begins
to think of escape. Next to the
Children's Home is a nunnery and
the nuns are made to move to
make room for so new children.
On moving day crowd gathers
and there is a great hubub, during
which Grishka and five other chill
dren of the home manage to
escape. Grishka wanders around
begging for food and lodging the
militia. He and his companions
spend the nights in a cemetery.
On one of the nights, after they
had all eaten (their luck had been
good that day., Shaggy Vaska, one
of the group, tells them story.
THEY had been saying that it hap
pens, at times, that people are
buried alive. And this led Vaska to
his tale:
"Now, comrades, I'll tell you what
happened once. In a town.
Well, there was a young lady.
A Ugh school, or calidge gal, /
don't know which. -. So she came
HON and oh, Obj yes +. 'Oh,
papa, oh, mama, I'm dying And she
flopped on the floor, kickin' her legs.
Mother, father, run to her, fuss over
her, but she, I'm dying, I'm dying!'
Course they called for the dacter.
The dacter came. Well, so and so,
Mister Dacter, she wants to die. The
dacter started to fix her up. Course,
kvass, chocolate and all that, but she:
NO, no, T. dyingp Kicked once,
twice, and stopped breathin.' Course
the dacter went away. The mother
bawled bit, and then they put the
gal in the coffin. They buried her.
In cemetery, just like here. Course
she was lying and lynn there, and
then started to squoim and twist.
The warden hears her fidgetin'! He
listened and listened and then ran
to the girls father and mother. They
got some men, opened the grave, but
course she was dead for the second
lime. But you could see she's been
'idgetin.' She'd twisted one foot I'M
Ter, just like that. And then the
dacter says: she's had 1istargic'
sleep. That's how they printed it
in the papers. And then l told my
pa and ma: don't bury me till l turn
sour and rotten. Ye-es."

Hot Enough.

The day it hot, the good old sun is
busy baking every one; men droop and
languish In the heat, the pavement's
melting in the street; the mercury has
climbed so high that witnesses break
down and cry. My collar is a wilted
rag, my clothes are moist and Imply
sag, and I keep brushing from my map
the little rivulets of sap, and breathe a
longing, as I burn, that good old Winter
might return. And now approaches
John 3. jay, and well know just what
he'll say: he is all primed, know, to
spring that question old to which men
cling when Summer heat is at its worst

to add to my distress with that conun-
drum which was sprung when Adam
and his wife were young. But Will
head him off, VOW, won't be per-
secuted now: and so cry, in maudlin
glee, Eyes, yes, it's hot enough for mel"
The light dies out of John BIS eyes:
he's full of sorrow and surprise; he
thinks I've pulled a scurvy trick, he
looksS disguised, sore and sick. I often
wonder why grown men will ask again
and yet again that foolish question, gray
with age, that stirS us UP to dotard
rage. Upon scorching, blazing day.

BY SALLY MONROE.

When our white ancestors first set
foot on the Western Hemisphere they
found that the Indians, though wild -
possessed many delicious foods. And
the white men speedily became expert
in using these foods. Turkey and cram
berries, pumpkins and corn meal, the
white men adopted them all.
No other one food served them to SO
great advantage as corn meal. With
a good supply of corn meal on hand
white or red men did not fear hunger.
And we modernS make as wide use OF
corn meal as did those hungry first set
tiers 800 years ago.
Probably one of the earliest ways OF
cooking corn meal was boiling 1t In por-
ridge form. The earlier method OF
serving corn meal mush was different
from ours, for in those days, customa-
rily, bowls of milk were set before those
eating and then the steaming porridge
was dished into the milk. Now, OF
course, we put the porridge in the bowls
and pass the milk. It's just a differ
ence in service, not In taste.
Here is a good way to make corn
meal mush: Put two teaspoons or less
of salt into six cups OF boiling water.
Slowly drop into this water one cup
of corn meal. Let 1t cook, uncovered, foI
five or ten minutes, and then, II you
wish, put 1t in double boiler to cook
for an hour. If you do not cook 1t in
a double boiler, stir it often as you cook
it for at least half hour.
Corn meal puffsis delicious luncheon
dish. Served with lettuce salad and
some fruit, it makes a satisfactory and
wholesome meal. To make 1t, heat q
cup of milk in double boiler, add q
quarter cup of corn meal, and cook until
thick and smooth. Then add a salt
spoon of salt, and cool. Beat the yolks
and whites of four eggs separately and

Leaders and Followers.

II were required to answer the
question: What is the most decisive
difference between people?" my answer
would be that of leaders and followers,
which means how much of leadership
and how much of the tendency to fol-
low enters into their dispositions. I
md confirmation of this view in the
recent study by Prof. Marston on nor
NAL emotions, in that he makes the
most comprehensive emotion that of
dominance on the one hand and COM
pliance on the other.
These are good terms how dominant
are you? How compliant? If know
that, have in sense got your num-
Der. The reason for this goes back to
the fact that the human race is gre
garious; we belong to a flock or herd,
and what one does affects the rest; in
that sense we are like sheep.
. Now herd, to keep together, must
have leaders and the leaders must have
followers. So as members of a herd we
must have some of the tendencies in
each direction. The essential fact is.
which Is the stronger? and how and
when? The individual is such that he
acts by himself for We are not always
members of herd. If we could act
only under herd dominance, we should
be useless when alone.
If we were so highly individual that
we could never act as a group there
would be no team play, no co-opera-
ton, no herd. Each trait has its
marked and important place in human
nature. Yet We shall continue to differ
in the manner and measure of being
leaders or followers; and all that goes
to explain why 1t is so fundamental a
distinction.
Anything so fundamental must show
itself in childhood.
When a child begins to have his
way with playnates, or begins with
alacrity to do the bidding of John, or
Pete, or Tom, he reveals himself as
potentially master in the scheme of
human relations or as potentially a
masters man. The earlier a parent or
teacher discovers which potentiality he
has to deal with, the sooner will he b.
on the right track in guiding further
developments of character and mind
Potential master and potential mas
ter's man cannot be taught in the same
way. The attempt should never be
made, and our whole educational sys-

beat the yolks into the corn meal. Fold
in the stiff whites, and pour into greas-
ed baking dish. Bake In q pan of hot
water for 80 minutes.
Corn meal griddle cakes are substan-
tial and delicious. To make them,
mix together half cup Of corn meal
a cup and half of boiling water, and
cook five minutes. Then add half a
cup of sour milk. Sift together two
and a quarter cups of -four, teaspoon
each of salt and baking powder, half
a cup of sugar and three quarters CT
a teaspoon of soda. Add to the corn
meal mixture, mix well, add well
beaten egg and two tablespoonfuls of
melted butter, and bake on hot grid
die like any other kind of pancakes.
For corn meal waff1es, add three-quar-
tiers of a cup of boiling water to quar-
cup of sour milk. Then add half a
cup Of -four, tablespoonful and half
of sugar, third Of teaspoonful OF
soda and three-quarters Of a teaspoon
full of salt, sifted together. Add beat
en- egg yolk, q tablespoonful of melted
shortening, and then fold in the stifny
beaten whites of an egg.
Delicious corn meal mullins are made
in this way: Mix together half cup
Of -four, three teaspoonfuls Of baking
powder, a teaspoonful of sugar, half a
teaspoonful of salt. Add a beaten egg
and a cup of milk with two tablespoon
fuls of butter, melted. Beat thoroughly,
and bake in creased muffin pans.
Corn meal rolls and bread can be
made by adding half as much corn meal
as white -four to the recipe.
The Italians add grated cheese to
corn meal mush, with melted butter.
With lettuce or fruit this makes a good
luncheon dish.
Cold corn meal mush can be sliced
and Drowned in hot butter, and then
served with strip or honey or with
cheese sauce or grated cheese.

Noise Effects.

Those of us who work in noisy sur
roundings find that on certain days the
various sounds which go on around us
are much more noticeable than on 9TH
ers. Perhaps we have gone on for
weeks without being particularly affect
ed, but suddenly, for no apparent rea-
son, every sound seems to PLY on our
tortured nerves until 1t Is almost I'M
bearable.
Such a degree of sensitiveness is GER
tainly an indication that we have been
drawing too much upon our reserves OF
nerve force. The harmful effects OF
noise are well recognized in medicsI
circles. Since this is a fact, the best
measures for us each to take are those
which will render us more or less i'm
mune.
Healthy and well nourished nerves
which can only exist in body in SINH
lar condition, are the best insurance
against breakdown due to excessive
noise on sensitive nerves.
Many persons who work in noisy Of
fees or factories will find that even a
brief interval, such as the lunch hour,
In a quiet spot will prove a considera-
BILE relief to their nerves.
Such quiet spots can be found even
in a crowded city and are well worth
a search. Rest, sufficient sleep and
leisure hours spent as far as possible
in the fresh air and sunshine will all
help in building up the nerves to resist
the shocks to which modern civiliza-
ton exposes them.
The average city worker or the CITY,
bred person should plan to spend an
hour or two in the fresh air and sun
shine every day. And the happiest and

KEEPING MENTALLY FIT
By JOSEPH JAsTRoW.

tenn is fundamentally wrong to the ex-
tent that it ignores q profound differ
ence. It Is not necessarily a disgrace
to be somebody's man. II one has II
not in him to be leader or a teacher
he should be somebody's man in
useful way, and efficiently" (Giddings.)
But now comes the rub and the
whole issue of mental fitness Leader
ship is getting your way; but how you
do 1t by brute force and disregard of
others rights or weakness? Then you
are bully or wrong kind of boss"
or a tyrant. And there is a strong
tendency in children to be tyrants. Do
you get 1t by tears and whining and
making yourself generally disagreeable?
Equally wrong. And do you in your
compliance fawn and toady and become
too meekly subsevient? Then you are
efficient and self-respecting follower,
loyal clansman. Bargain probably you
must and yield following here to re-
main a leader there; also turn and turn
about, following in some things, lead
ing in others. But you must not get
your way by brute force. by bribery. by
trickery: neither must you follow
frequently nor SlaVlShly. SO there is
ever a quality of mental fitness in the
part you play as leader or as follower
The true leadership is by intellec-
tual and moral energy making it plain
to your followers that you are wiser
and better adjusted than the average
man; then they have faith and con-
fldence in you. and the greater benefits
Of authority and organization become
available.
The worlds progress depends upon
the 'fairest distribution of leadership
and following among men. Democracy
is but a method of electing leaders: 1t
is not a system for ignoring the dis
tinction between the leaders and the
followers.
Leadership is the most precious quail
ity that comes in natures packages
There are born leaders of men, yet
leadership must be trained to lead by
the right methods, by virtue of the
choicer endowments. If democracy
places in the positions of leadership
those best fitted naturally for the re-
sponsibility, its success is assured. But
does it?
