HOLLYWOOD, Calf, May 26.
That wistful expression on Harry
Langdon's face is giving away to
a grin-a little unbelieving but
still grin.
After being tossed about on
martial and financial rocks, after
seeing his motion picture career
fade away, the comedian, by one
of those strange tricks that occur
in Hollywood suddenly finds
himself sought after by almost
every studio.
Yesterday, he signed contract
with Christies to make six two,
reel shorts on any subjects he
likes and absolutely at his own
convenience.
His name also is on a United
Artists agreement to appear in
AL JolsonS new comedy, Living
High"
Where, a few months ago, film
producers ignored him, Harry
now has offers from Paramount
and from Warmers and is negoti.
ating with Bob Woolsey with the
view of replacing Bert Wheeler
as Bob's team-mate.
After playing four shows a day
for 80 weeks, Harry is delighted
to settle down again in Hollywood
He has taken a house at the
very top of a hill and is finding
time for a few games Of golf.
All this sudden change Of front
amazes and puzzles him, but he's
not asking any questions.
"It looks like I'm going to get
a break at last" he says.

that way. Cancellation probably would
not bring the desired relief either.
What cancellation might mean is
an increase in ornaments and the
creation of more powerful trade unions
to embarrass the United States in the
markets of the world from which we
are now practically eliminated by our
own foolish tariff regulations and the
retaliatory tariffs of our neighbors.
Sacrifices this nation made during
the war seem to have been forgotten
in Europe. Our own altruism in ask
ing no reparations as indemnification
of these war debts doubtless branded
us as foolish idealists, if not, to use a
vulgar expression, as easy marks.

An Important Conference

North Dakota is confronted with a
land problem of major dimensions. 1t
will be the subject of an important
conference at Fargo tomorrow at
which the various phases will be dis
cussed by Col. Mudgett, manager of
the Bank of North Dakota and For
mer Governor l.. B. Hanna.
This state, through it's rural credit
department, has become the owner Of
thousands of acres most of which are
unproductive and all of which yield
nothing in taxes to support govern
mental costs. This naturally throws
greater burden upon those who have
been able to keep on the land despite
low prices and ruinous taxes.
It is hoped that the publicity and
consideration given these major prob
lens at Fargo will be productive of
results. The next legislature must
consider the whole situation. If some
constructive plans can be evolved in
the meantime much progress can be
made
Only meagre start can be made
now until economic conditions i'm
prove, but it is imperative that such
a start should not be too long delayed.
Every effort should be made to
keep the land occupied. Liberality
can we'll be employed in the matter
Of foreclosures until stress in business
conditions is removed.
The deliberations of this conference
which is sponsored by the Greater
North Dakota association will be
watched with great interest.

Russian Wives
New York Times

Moscow'S big newspapers, Pravda
and Izvestia, made a radical depar-
ture from the strictly impersonal tone
which characterizes news in Soviet
Russia by publishing a portrait OF
Joseph Stains dead wife But only
once does the name of the Commu-
mist dictator appear. Among tributes
10 "Comrade Nadezhda Sergeievna AL
liluieva' as faithful worker for So
cialism, as splendid" Bolshevist
woman, as devoted party member,
mention does occur of 1.-The wife,
close friend and true helpmate Of
Comrade Stain" This meagerness Of
emotion is only in part due to the
fact that Communist philosophy SUBJ
ordinates the individual to the social
mass, or takes scant note of the fam
lily as an institution, or frowns in
general upon sentimental values
When the wife of the man who rules
Russia more completely than ever did
Peter the Great is described as Com
rade Alliluieva" it is the survival of a
revolutionary habit that antedates the
BolShevist revolution and the Bolshe-
visit party. 1t is coeyal with the Rus
sian revolutionary movement.
Women played major role in the
struggle against the Czarist system
which began in the early SOS of the
last century. Names like Vera Zassu-
Itch and Vera Figner among the dead
and Katherine Breshkovsky among
the living were in the forefront of the
revolutionary movement. Sophia Per-
ovsxaia was the principal figure in
the successful plot against the life of
Alexander II in 1881. Comradeship
between men and women on a basis
OF full equality was enforced by the
technique Of Subterranean conspiracy.
1t was reinforced in considerable de-
gree by the reaction of the revolu-
tionary women against the "bourgeois"
standards OF comfort and luxury and
the bourgeois" etiquette regulating
the behavior of the sexes.
Naturally, the emotional life could
not be entirely put aside. Men and
women In the revolutionary movement
formed permanent unions marked by
true and lasting affection. But life

OF prison and exile, necessitated fire.
