PARIS, Aug. 16.-Paris, eventual haven of political refugees fleeing from the turmoil of revolutions that failed, has become the home of Catherine Brechko- -Brechkovskla. She is the grandmother of the Russian Revolution" meaning that revolution which overthrow Nicho- las II and established the ill-fated Kerensky regime in the land of the czars.
 Besides being an uncompromis- ing foe of czarism, she is equally opposed to bolshevism. She is cer- tain that the present Union of Soviet Social Republics will fall, and that within a few years.
 Fully one-third of her 86 years have been passed as a prisoner. Under the Czar she served IA years at hard labor, followed by 13 more of mere exile in Siberia. She had 12 years of hiding in old Russia, six years of existence under Czarist police supervision, during which she managed to sandwich in two trips to the United States.
 The "Babouchka," as she is fond ly called by Russians of her politi- cal faith, is sanguine that the Bol- shevik regime will collapse within a few years and that she, despite her years, will live to see it. She hopes to make solemn re-en- trance into the old Russian capital when that city shall have lost it's sobriquet of Leningrad, and again become Petrograd.
 s'The grandmother of the revolu- tion" has already enjoyed one tri- umphant return of that sort. That was in 1917 and it lasted eight months. But when the Bolshe- viks entered, the "Babouchka" went out.
 Living in a peaceful pension in the fashionable Fassy quarter, the old lady, dressed in black, except for a white shawl about her shoul- ders, enjoys talking about her trips to the United States.
 T went to America for the first time in 1904" she said. T had just completed 14-year sentence at hard labor in Siberia and I re- ceived a very cordial welcome in the United States"

Through the little village of En- men, Holland, not long ago ran an awful whisper. In bigger, more sophisticated towns it might not have amounted to more than back porch gossip. But Emmen is con- servative, proud of it's strait-laced morality and pious tranquility. The whisper sounded like a shout to stolid Dutch burghers and their wives.
 Little groups gathered in the quaint parlors of Emmen.

Men Soon to Wear Paper Suits, Says
 Industrial Expert

CHICAGO, Aug. 16. The moot question of how mere man can ob- tain some sort of equality with the opposite sex in the matter of sum- mer attire, a question that has brought forth advocates of every thing from pajamas to barrels, has another answer. It comes from Waldemar Kaemfert, Director of the Rosenwald Industrial Museum.
 Mans enslavement to fashion, says MT. Kaempfert, will be broken by paper suits costing about $2 apiece and thrown away after about two weeks wear.
 "The fibers," MT. Kaempfert says, twill be made of paper and will be spun like cotton or wool, then woven into attractive patterns. A man will step into clothes shop, where an expert tailor will in few minutes drape strips of paper about his form and then fasten them with fish glue.
 Such suit-unlike paper tis- tue towel-will be unaffected by rain and hold its shape for at least two weeks"

 'Yes, but the Americans were really very nice to me. Effectively the Americans are real democrats but I found that they were badly informed about Russian affairs
 In the same breath "Babouchka' said that she was introduced into American political circles by Emma Goldman, but evidently without any intention of establishing a core lation between that and Americas $ ignorance of things Russian.
 She feels that she owes much gratitude to America because it was owing to the pressure of pub- lie opinion from the United States that I was halted on the road to my third exile in Siberia and re- leased at Irkutsk in 1915"

GARRISON TO AID
|NPROBE Of CRIME
D. C. Man Member of Com
mittee to Study Problem
of Pay Roll RobberieS.

Appointment of T. B. ClarkSon, treas
urer of the Chesapeake g. Potomac Tele-
phone Co., as the Washington repre-
sentative on a special committee of II
men, prominent in the banking and in
dustrial circles of the Nation, to study
and report on the problem of pay roll
robberies was announced today by New
ton D. Baker, former Secretary Of War
and chairman of the National Crime
Commission.
Pay roll robberies, according to Mr.
Baker. have been far more frequent
than is generally realized by the public
and offer a particularly alluring in
centive to young men of weak moral
character who would not enter into
career of crime for anything which
promised less certain large returns and
practical immunity from punishment.
Plans Under Consideration.
A number of plans have already been
presented for the consideration OF the
committee, he said, and the commission
has high hopes that out of them will
come a method which will be widely
adopted throughout the country to pre-
vent pay roll robberies in the future.
"Some way of meeting the pay roll
other than by the transportation of the
actual cash is believed to be something
which can be worked out after study
of the problem involved" said Mr..
Baker.
System to Favor Employees.
Whatever system is devised, it must
meet the objections of the employees to
being compelled to receive warrants of
some kind which are most reluctantly
cashed by the merchants, generally with
a heavy discount, and must not entail
heavy additional bookkeeping on the
part of the manufacturers themselves.
1t must also be acceptable to the banks
and insurance companies"
Prof. Raymond c. Morley of Column
bia College, a student of crime problems,
is chairman of the committee as well
as its technical adviser.
