Romance or COmradeship7
By Elsie Robinson

} forbidden. for the Soviet con-
siders such dances too sensual.
But, on the other hand,
young people are allowed to
marry as early as they please,
part as soon as they wish
provided all this does not inter
fere with their public useful
ness.
In Russia women share pub
lie honors and authority equal
ly with men.
But they also snare the death
penalty and all legal and in
dustrial responsibilities.
They can SOW their wild oats
ii they wish no child is
considered illegitimate.
But q woman cannot bring q
breach of promise suit, nor can
she hold a man to an unwilling
marriage. Divorce, to either
man or woman, Is granted on
request. Alimony is limited to
the term of one year and often
refused entirely.
But how about the children?
Mothers and fathers are held
equally responsible for their
support. Mothers. be they
welded. unwedded or divorced,
are expected to work. They
are not COMPELLED to work,
but the majority of them do.
Splendid nurseries are provided
for the children where they
may receive far better food,
care and medical attention
than they could in the average
home. Maternity homes and
lying-in hospitals are provided
for expectant mothers, where
they may stay without labor or
cost. for two months before
births and two months after.
II the mother does not know
a trade she is taught one dur
ing this period. After this she
goes back into life, to take her
place with men,.
A hardship? Not from the
Russian point of view. Woman
in Russia is considered mans
equal in courage, energy and
intelligence. They regard our
chivalrous. romantic treatment
OF women as an insult! Well
what's YOUR opinion?

Mrs. Diyot. cycling her Silken

My reasons aren't physical"
corrected Mrs. Green. They're
psychological. In the first place,
I look 10 years older and feel
positively antique in long skirts
and so does any woman. And
in the second place, I'm rational
and consistent.
The poor little stuffed goose
of the gay nineties. who wore a
pompadour rat and q buckram
choker. swept up the streets
with her trailing skirts and
courted dyspepsia by squeezing
in her digestive organs, was ex-
cuSable because she had never
known anything different or
better. She thought that was
being a lady even If it did
make her look like a cartoonl
But any enlightened modern
woman. who has known the
cleanliness and reinyenating ef-
feet Of bobbed hair, and who has
enjoyed the comfort and free
dom of an uncOrSeted torso and
free ankles ELL! Any
woman who has been let out Of
the coop, and then deliberately
permits herself to be forced
back into whalebone-and-steel
and long, germ-catching skirts,

be trusted to play with the scis-

Heaven knows, women have
abused their privileges and
their hard-won freedom, by
trying to go around Seminude.
Bare knees and bare backs are
positively bare-faced! And cx-

are always extremists. They
never know when nor where to
STOP anything, from talking
to fighting or loving! But, Just
because some few moronS have
made q trayeSty Of the new

women should rneekly sllbju-

YNHEY don't think much Of
4 ROMANCE in Russia
they believe in COMRADESHIP
instead.
Russian men and women
fought side by side during the
World War and in the revolu-
ton. They suffered wounds to
gether. faced plague. irnprison-
ment, torture and starvation to-
gether, died together and were
buried in the same grave. And
from that grim experience came
q new conception of compan-
ionship between male and fe-
male.
Russian men could no longer
think Of women as helpless
creatures, needing special pro-
lection and exemption. Rus
sian women could no longer
pretend to be clinging vines,
even IL they wished to. All
those artificial sex distinctions
which we recognize under the
term "chivalry" all ro-
mantle traditions were
abolished. For 10 years Rus
sian women have been treated
just like men.
Andree Viollis. in her book
"A GIRL IN SOVIET RUS
SIA," tells Of the new attitude.
I'VE have set love in its
proper place." said a Russian
official to Miss Viollis, roman
tic love, that is, sentimental
love We hold love to be
q natural function; one does
not permit it to invade ones
life. We place it below the
friendship. the esteem which
can and should exist between
man and woman"
And so love making is no
longer the theme in Russian
song. drama and story. Our
popular films, with their senti-
mental plots. seem amusing to
them. They are frequently
greeted with yawnS, misses and

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
--Ry Dr. Louis 3. Risch-

ENEEDING the baby some
4 times is a very simple mat
ter. Often, on the other hand,
it is a very difficult one.
A mother who can feed her
child should do so by all means.
One cannot stress too much the

II artificial feeding must be
reSorted to, cows milk is the
best substitute in this country.
It happens that camel's milk is
the nearest approach to the
human milk, but that, of
course, cannot be obtained.
Since no milk is as good as
mothers milk the transfer to
cows milk should not be made
wholly II the mother can supply
even a little. Such a little helps
to promote the proper digestion
Of the infant.
Always be sure that the milk
supply Is reliable, especially as
to the freshness. Milk from
several cows is much better
than from single COW no mat
ter how good her milk may be.
Mixed milk varies less from
day to day as TO its fat, pro-
tein and sugar constituents.
1t is perhaps strange, al
though true, that a baby can
digest more of the fat in
mothers milk than in cows
milk. Cows milk is also defici-
ent in sugars and its protein
content is often too great. That
is why the sugar must be added
and the milk diluted to reduce
the protein content in milk
formulas.
No mother should attempt to
make up a milk formula for her
baby without consulting 4 ply.

tions to the letter.
In giving SUCH directions q
doctor is likely to use the ex.

ity cream is used as q basis for
modifying cows milk. 1t is the
cream which rises to the sur.
face of an ordinary quart of
bottle milk after it has been
standing from four TO twelve
hours without being disturbed
From gravity cream nlodifi-
cations are made to get 10 per
cent and Z per cent milk. For
this 1t is necessary to use a
one-ounce dipper.
In order to make 10 per cent
milk take q 12-hour-old quart
bottle of milk and. with the
one-ounce dipper, remove ten
ounces of the top milk. about
the upper third of the bottle.
It is best to fill the dipper once
with a spoon, else the milk may
overflow and disturb the cream
too much. To these ten ounces
Of gravity cream add ten ounces
Of plain milk. The mixture is
10 per cent milk.
In order to make Z per cent
milk the same procedure is fol
lowed except to one part Of

plain milk are added. In other
words, 16 ounces. or the upper
half of the bottles. are taken
and then 20 ounces Of plain
milk added

The report of his death probably arose
after he was knocked down by an auto
