parties to raise money for revolution
airy organizations, and, if tiled down"
by children, by turning this tenn
porary defeat into an ultimate vic
tory by raising revolutionary kids

Let EN- Fight In Revolutionary
WaysI
This Is, though, only a starting
point for women. Let them use in
the interest of the movement what
ever talent (often repressedD they
may possess, whether literary, dra-
matte, artistic or musical. Also, let
those who can, build labor sports
groups; this is very important.
And when and If they can, let
them fight like men" There is
nothing in nature which says women
cannot lead strikes and demonstra-
lions, organize unions or make
speeches. Cor join the Communist
Psrty0 Let them, as soon as they
feel strong enough, come right out
and fight side by side with the men.
By all means let the man help in
the house to free his wife for such
struggle! II he won't do that, he's
no Bolshevik! Qn cases, of course,
where he has less work than she.)
And let the wife be patient in teach
ing him to perform household duties
that are very new to him.
And finally-if a woman really
cannot fight actively, the very least
she can do is not to nag the hus-
band about it If he sees the daylight
and wants to fight to make the world
a place fit for workers to live in.

mayoralty vote Of $500 in 1881. The
Communist candidates led all Of the
so-called minor" parties. The total
vote for the two Communists and five
Home and Land Owners Council
manic candidates endorsed by the
Communist Party, was well over $500
in these seven wards. Particularly
important is the fact that one-third
Of all of Ford's vote came from three
working-class wards-29, 80 and 80.
The Socialist Party vote during this
same period showed a sharp decline,
with the Socialist Party candidate re-
ceiving 1865, compared with 5,164
last year and 1900 for Thomas in
the Presidential campaign.
Cannot Be Satisfied
1t is of no value to try and analyze
the election campaign by either term
ing it a victory or a defeat. We must
see, that with the deepening of the
crisis, the bourgeoisie was much more
conscious of the need Of trying to
keep the discomfort of the workers
canali9ed in the old capitalist parties
or their social fascist supporters,
therefore, in contrast with 1881, when
there were q minimum Of candidates,
this year there were seven candidates,
including both the Socialist Party
and the demagogic Roosevelt fol-
lower, Sweeney, who repeated and
promised many immediate demands
from the workers election platform
The election results reflect also fail
ure on our part to maintain and in
crease our strength among the Negro
masses, despite a continued worSen-
ing of their economic conditions
coupled with the same policy OF
natural oppression that has long been
the curse OF the Negro masses ir
Cleveland.
We must state very definitely that
we cannot be satisfied with the cleo
ton results, since it reflects basic
political and organizational short
conings in the participation of our
Party In the class struggle. The re-
Sponsibility does not lie with the
workers, but with the outlook anc
work of the Party, including rem
nants Of an anti-parliamentary ten
dency. To overcome this, demands
not Encouragement, as has beer
indicated in some quarters-but rev.

light of our revolutionary Marxist-
feminist teachings and quickly over

Of the campaign and all Of our mass

tasks before it, in this period.
What Are the Weaknesses

Here's A Glass House You Can Live In
And Throw StoneS---They Won't Hurt It

COLUMBUS, o., Feb. 2.-Peo-
pie who live in the "Joseph's coat"
type of glass houses may throw all
the stones they like, for rocks will
not damage their walls.
Nor will heat and cold, wind and
rain or weight and pressure prove
especially damaging to buildings
raised from a new translucent
glass brick being developed in the
experimental plant of large glass
company here.
The brick, made by separately
pressing five-sided glass box and
a lid which then is sealed in place
to form an alright chamber, is be-
ing tested for it's structural and
decorative possibilities.
Test Buildings Erected
Experimental buildings have
been erected. One of them is an
office for the mould shop at the
Columbus plant. 1t is all glass
from foundation to roof.
This office has been dubbed
"Joseph's coat" because of the col
or effects obtained as the building
is viewed from varying angles.
Surfaces of the brick in contact
with the mortar are coated with a
colored cement paint to make the
mortar stick, to give the blocks
suction when they are laid, to pre-
vent water from penetrating the
wall and to prevent unsightly air.

Clear Glass Appears Tinted
The application of colored ce-
ment paint affords a new means
of architectural treatment, the ex-
perimenters have found. Light re-
Elected from the cement paint

themselves are clear.
The range of colors, however, is

and rose amber. Other colors are
too expensive. Although translu-
cent, the glass blocks are not
