GALES KILL FIVE
THROUGH MIDWEST
Cold Wave From Canada
Brings Large Damage and
End of Warm Weather.
BY the Associated Press.


BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, February IL. - The
weather man counted on a cold wave
from Canada today to put an end to the
freakish weather that has made the
meteorological map in the Middle West
look like a crazy quilt this Winter.
The latest freak of Midwest Winter,
which has brought few low tempera-
lures, but lots of Spring flowers, came
yesterday, when some sections of the
Central States were swept by gale-like
winds. Others were treated to thunder
and lightning and high temperatures.
At least five persons perisfled Two
men met death in Indianapolis. One
was struck by lightning. The other
was killed by crane blown over on
him. Three others died when q fish

locity of 81 miles an hour. About the
same time the temperature got up to

highest previous figure for this date
was SIS, recorded back in 1895. To make
matters more interesting the weather

rooted by wind, while reports of other

In the vicinity Of Mapleton, Ill, the
loss was estimated at $4,000. A school

FEWER CLOTHES URGED

The House Naval Committee agrees
with Secretary Adams that too manS
clothes are being given Navy en-
listed men.
1t approved yesterday a bill to let
the Navy Department head decide how
much equipment should be given to
recruits.
Under the law, each one must be
given s1o0 worth of equipment when
he enlists. Secretary Adams decided
something should be done about this
requirement, since a complete outfit
costs only S9827
He estimated the measure would save
the government s24071 in the 1888
fiscal year.

 Sermon: Faith that Overcomes. !"
 When one believes that there is no ssibility of using effectively with men, purely moral and spirit ual frees, he disbelieves not only in men but he shows an even deep CT distrust of their creator, God. We are not meant to be self sui ficient even as to men, still less as to God. We need other men. we need God; we are all but frag- ments else. Life becomes poss- ble. iorful. and triumphant in proportion to the depth of our faith in God'' Religion is living a Faith that Overcomes."

FOR FLIGHT
 INTO STRATOSpHERE

BILLANCOURT, France,C41 - France hopes within six months 10 enter the race for the conquest of the s;ratosphere.
 In the Farman airplane works, on the banks of the Seine, behind bolted doors and pledged to sec recy, engineers and skilled work men are putting the finishing tou- ches to huge 500 H. P. mono plane.
 Goal Is 5O,OOO Feet
 When i. is completed, the stra- tosphere airplane will be taken to
 he airport of Toussus-le-Noble where the first test flight will take place. It will be followed by other experimental flights aimed at at taining a height of 50,00O feet above the earth's surface.
 It's circular conningtower sur mounting the air-tight cabin gives it the shape of submarine. In- side the cylindrical cabin is an instrument board and dozen gadgets all suggesting the interior of submarine.
 Wing Surface Enormous
 In building an enormous wing surface, the designers had in mind the fact that in the thin strato- sphere where he propeller and wings are much less effective than at heights of 5000 and 10000 feet a good deal more lifting power may be required for successful loperation.
 If the hopes of the designers are fulfilled, the machine, when at an altitude of 4S,000 to 50,00G feet, will develop a speed of 4SC miles an hour which will bring New York within s hours of Paris Takc-Off Difficulty Seen 1 It is pointed out that owing tC | it's excessive load-it is equipped with five Ia diators-the new Far mn may experience some diff culty in taking off.
 l The ascension to the thin colo areas is not expected to begin be fore six months, as the new ma chine will be subjected to various tests and alterations made accord ingly.

FREE FOOD WITH
 HOME BEW HITS
 RESTAURANT MEN
Chicago Merchants Protest to Price Cuts, Lunches in
 Speakeasies

CHICAGO, P)- Beer flats and |speakeasies, which have returned to the practise of offering free lunch and food price cuts to entice the thirsty, are running the rest aurant business, James J. Reaney, executive secretary of the Chicago Associa tiop of Restaurants, com plained here.
 Two yearss ago Reaney went to the prohibition department off, ices with a similar complaint. He said speakeasies were bringing res- taurant owners into disrepute in that they gave more food for less | money, making up for the loss on beer and liquor.
 Told to Get Evidence |" was told to go out and get evidence so that the agents could make raids,' Reney said "The association is not an organization of snoopers. We refuse to do the agents work This closed our only avenue of relief"
 Today beer flats in addition to cutting the price of home brew are offering attractive lunches. particularly in factory districts. Where a glass of home brew once sold at 15 cents, quart bottle of four glasses is now sold at 25 cents.
 For the purchase of one quart of beer the customer is entitled to free lunch and. what is still better. he gets all he can eat. One lunch is offered each day but there are daily changes of menu. Many of the resor are:
 Monday: roast beef. Tuesday: beef stew
 Wednesday,: ham hooks.
 Thursday: corned beef and cab bage.
 Friday: fresh fried perch. Saturday: pigs feet.
 Sunday: chicken stew.
 Saloon Keepers Hit
 The home brew flats also are making inroads on the profits of the beer syndicate. Saloon owners complain their customers will not pay 25 cents stein for brewery beer when they can get home brew and lunch at 25 cents the quart bottle. Many have asked reduc- ton from the s55 price on barrel of beer to enable them to sell at , cents a stein.
 Operators of beer flats are en- abled to sell cheaply because they have little Or no overhead and ], there is no assessment of protec- tion money. It is estimated that 1000 beer flats are in operation on the near north side alone, with the rest of the city holding up in proportion.

Toward a Decisive Turn in
Party Work

and their lackeys and popularize the revolu-
tionary way out.
1t is impossible, even by going far beyond the
boundaries Of review to enunerate the points
brought out in such a document. 1t is something
that must be carefully studied as guide to &C
ton.
There are a number of other valuable con-
tributions in the April number. OF special sig
nifcance is the first installment of "MarXiSm and
the National Problem" by Joseph Stain.
The first article deals with the drift Of the
world toward another imperialist war There is
also a contribution to the national liberation
struggle of the Negroes and the fight against
white chauvinsm, being extracts from report to
a meeting of students by Earl Browder. John
steuben has an article on shop politics and or
ganization, which deals with the organiZational
problems of developing action against the cap
italist offensive. 1.-THE Role of Finance Capital
in the Present Crisis" is dealt with by Harry
Cannes.
The May number publishes the resolution OF
the Executive Committee of the Communist In
ternational drawing valuable lessons from the
recent strike struggles in the United States.
This resolution, the same as the resolution pub
liShed in the April number, must become the
property of every member of the Party and
should be studied by every active non-Party
worker in the unions, in the relief and defense
organizations. When we refer to a document
becoming property of workers, we do not mean
the simple act of owning it; we mean it must
be read time and again and carefully studied so
that its contents becomes a part of the equip
ment of workers active in the struggle.
Extracts from Comrade PROVIDERS speech at
the plenum of the Central Committee entitled
Japan America and the Soviet Union, bring
out sharply the necessity for the most careful
and painstaking analysis of the forces plot
ting and carrying out imperialist war and cor
rect certain errors that appeared in connection
with the events in the Far East.
Extracts from Comrade Hathaways report on
the election campaign at the plenlm should be
carefully read in connection with the main
plenum resolution There are also excerpts from
the speech of the fraternal delegate of the Ca
madam Party dealing with the outlawing of the
Party by the Canadian capitalist government.
There are a number of other valuable con-
tributions in the May number. OF special sig
nificance in combating pacifism and empty bonn
bast of the phrase mongers, is the publication
of Lenin's instructions to the Bolshevik dele
gates to the Hague conference in 1922.
The second ipstallment of Stains National
Question" and also the final installment ION the
Theoretical Foundations of Marusm-Leninism"
by A. Adoratsky are in the May number
These two numbers of THE COMMUNIST will
help to raise the theoretical level OF the Party
membership and 1t is the duty Of all responsible
functionaries to see that they are In the hands
of every Party member and the widest possible
circle of workers who support our Party.

and invited the Americans to come over and
join them
There were occasions when Bolshevik COM
mander would cry out in the dark that he want
ed to talk to an American officer. A captain or
a lieutenant would take an interpreter and go
to the middle Of the bridge. The three would
stand in the cold and argue. They would talk
about the health Of the prisoners and cond-
tons OF the troops and before they would bid
each other adieu the Red commander would
hand the American officer package of ltera-
ture to be handed to the soldiers.
Indeed, this was against all rules of warfare,
but the American officers generally speaking
did not object. There was need Of paper, and
then 1t gave the troops something to read. So
the Bolshevik literature was distributed freely
among the soldiers.
: It was In this sector that the Bolshevid put
up huge banners which blazoned forth the fact
that the workers OF Germany and France had
made peace and urged the American workers
to come and do likewise. The American soldiers
frankly admitted that they did not know why

THE ntutinous spirit displayed by the
American soldiers In the Archangel sector was
definitely attributed today by General March,
Chief OF Staff, to BoIshevist agents operating
In Northern Russia
"The questions put to the officers by the
men who refused to go to the front were the
same as those formulated In literature dis
tributed by BoIshevist propagandists." New

The PIenum Pamphlet

The resolutions of the 14th Plenum of the
Party are printed in a pamphlet called
Toward Revolutionary Mass Work" In
addition to the 14th Plenum resolutions the
same pamphlet carries the last Central Com
mittee resolution on unemployment which
was adopted in october 1881. The unemploy-
ment resolution is reprinted because of great
Importance as guide for our activities among
the unemployed. The main 14th Plenum reso-
luton makes special reference to the October
unemployment resolution.
The same pamphlet also carries the 18th
c. I. Plenum resolution on our struggle against
imperialist war;.
The price of the. Plenum pamphlet is ten
cents. We urge all the districts to immedi-
ately send in orders for this pamphlet. Every
member of the Party should have a copy OF
this pamphlet and study it.
In report from the Minnesota District on
their District Plenum we read: THE short
conings of the Plenum as we see it are that
many comrades have not read and thoroughly
understood the Importance of the 14th Plenum
resolution" What the Minnesota comrades
say about not reading thoroughly the resolu-
ton also holds good for many districts in the
country. The resolution must be read, it must
be studied.
