cannot bring a breach of

Russia.
She cannot hold him to an
unwilling marriage. She can
not demand allmony save for a
most limited period.
That's the Russian plan. Ours
is different. Here in America
we also claim to have equality
for women, but 1t is still far
from actual equality with men.
Neither in industry nor in civic
or Federal affairs have women
equal power. They do not re-

WOMEN have real equality
" with men in Russia, Equal
work, equal wage. equal rights"
is their motto and they carry
this out literally.
CO.educatlOn Is the rule Just
as 1t Is III this country. But
after leaving school, the Russian
women enjoy much wider op-
pOrtunity than the American.
They may enter any union and
earn the same wage as men at
the same task. They may and
do take part in every form of
Government work. both as ad-
miniStratolS and employees.
Women play a much more i'm
portant part in political life in
Russia than they do in America.
They hold some of the highest
posts. Several captains in the
Russian navy are women. Many
judges are women.
They also work as directors
Of public affairs in the local
Soviet. Supervision Of conStruc-
ton Of roads, sewage system,
sanitation. the creation Of
schools. nurseries, clinics and
hospitals.
And the simplest, working
women enjoy as great privilege
and protection as her more in
tellectual sister. Married women
are not only permitted but en-
couraged to work outside the
home. Under the Soviet system
home srace and housework are
deliberately limited there is
little chance for the idle or
parasitic wife to flourish.
But, on the other hand, every
opportunity is given to the wife
and mother to maintain her
family life while working out
side the home. Public nurseries
are established where the
smaller children may receive
the best of food and care during
the day. The mother is not
compelled to put her children
in these nurseries but she is
encouraged to do so and most
mothers welcome the opportu-
nifty. Nurseries are also con-
Quoted in connection with the
factories which, like other Rus
sian industries, are under gov
ernmental control. The mother
is given time out from her
work to feed and play with her
baby.
The Soviet protects the
mother not only after but be-
fore the baby comes. A manual
laborer is given two months
leave. with full pay, before
childbirth and two months
after. An office employe six
weeks before, six weeks after.
This care is extended to the
unwedded mother as well as

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DR.. Louis E. Bisch-

DLEURIsY is an inflamma-
nation Of the pleura, and
the pleura is the name Of the
membrane which covers the
lungs and the inner side Of the
ribs.
The pleura, you see, has two
layers and forms a kind Of sac.
1t is natural enough that when
these surfaces. which ordinarily
slide smoothly on each other,
are thickened or dried or dis
tended a very painful affection
may result.
And that is exactly what
pleurisy is, a very painful con-
dition. Every time the lungs
expand the layers of the pleura
produce a sharp pain which Is
felt in the side.
There are various types of
pleurisy. 1t is perhaps easiest
to understand the various kinds
If they be divided into the dry"
cases and those in which there
Is effuSion Of fluid Of some kind
into the pleural sac
When the pleural membrane
Is covered by inflammatory
substances, "fibrin," it is called
fibrinouS pleuriSy. Usually,
however, a certain amount of
fluid is produced in the pleural
sac and then the condition is
called "pleurisy with effusion.
In an ordinary case of acute
pleurisy, there is the sharp
pain on breathing and some
times a dry cough. Fever may
or may not be present.
In the effusion cases, the dis
ease may come on suddenly
with a chill. Later, there is
fever and pain in the chest.
Sometimes the case develops
very slowly and insidiously
with only a little ShortneSs of
breath. This is partially true
in old persons and in children.
The pain in pleurisy is really
most distressing. 1t is expert
enced near the breast or arm
pits. 1t is knifelike and sharp.
1t may be so severe that the
patient is afraid to breathe.
Cough makes the pain worse.
There are cases where puS
forms within the pleural cavity.
Then it is called empyema. EN-
pyema may come from pneu-
monia or after a wound from
q fractured rib.
These cases may begin sud-
denly. as in the above type, and
yet again enpyema may be slow
in development and give scarce
ly any symptoms at first. Grad
ually, however, the sac fills with
puS and the individual becomes
very sick. sometimes danger
Ously so.
In cases of empyema 1t Is
often necessary to operate. re-
move a piece Of rib and drain
the pus from the pleural cavity.
Chronic pleuriSy also exists,
some conditions with effuSion
and some which are dry.
Chronic dry pleurisy may fol-
low an acute case in which
there has been effusion.
Pleurisy. no matter what It's
kind, should never be treated
