1-Yes, in an enormous number of men. They insist the woman shall say with Ruth, "Whither thou goest, I will go. Thy people shall be my people and thy God my God" This should be the spirit but in this age is should be on both sides. The practical side of life has changed since the days Of Ruth, and women are no longer the slaves of their husbands. They are his equal in deciding where and how they shall live. Her hopes and ambitions should also play a very large part.

 Ten minutes later Paxton and
 Bannister were. in the city room the same large, square city room,
 scarcely changed, where Bannister
 had worked years before. The city
 desk was set at a different angle.
 Bannister recognized none of the
 men gathered around 1t. Desks and
 cabinets covered most of the floor space. They had been re-arranged
 too, but the room had the same air
 of activity, of disorder. and preoc-
 cupation that he remembered.
 From beyond came the muffled
 roaring and whining and grinding
 of machines. Oh, it was all quite familiar.
 But the faces of the men and
 women about the room were diff ferent. Paxton strode few steps forward then called, "Oh-Gainey! Got 8 moment?"
 Down came the outspread pages of a newspaper. Down came the tipped chair. A young man with @ brown felt hat tipped back
 at a rakish angle upon a head of
 very red hair emerged from be-
 hind the newspaper. He crushed
 out his cigaret and got to his feet. "Yes, MT Paxton" said J. Ran- dolph Gainey. Sure! Is there any, thing-?"
 He did not finish the sentence. A pair of eyes of unusual blue- ness searched Paxton's. J. Ran- dolph Gainey was slender and slightly below average height. His cheeks and the ridge of his nose were amply sprinkled with the freckles that 50 often accompany red hair and fair skin. J. Rain- dolph Gainey was 22. years old but he had packed into those 22 years
 a list of activities that was amaz- ing. Confidence and energy he never lacked. One subject, and
 only one, was there on which J, Randolph Gainey was susceptible to the worlds darts and that, al least in the office of the news paper, was unguessed. No one on
 the Post knew that the "J'' in the wirey little reporters name stood for Jeremiah. No one would ever
 know it if it were possible for J. Randolph Gainey to prevent it. "Gainey," Jim Paxton was say

 "Wait a minute" Paxton said.
 "Td better get Austin," Austin
 was the assistant city editor, car
 rying on in place of his chief. In another moment the four
 men stood together while Paxton explained Bannister's status as a sort of ex-officio member of the staff. Austin was nodding under standingly and Gainey looked per plexed. Some of this perlexity l faded as Paxton repeated, "It's still your story, Gainey. Bannis- ter's not to write any of the copy. ] He's to work with you, take part

 more than one-half cup hot water or hot milk, cover and let stand five or ten minutes. If the dress ing is not now as moist as wanted for serving add few more table spoonfuls hot liquid. Add parsley and mix well with fork to insure thorough blending.
 This stuffing can be used for fowl or any variety of meat. Fresh
 ham boned is delicious with this stuffing. Or you can split pork tenderloin and stuff them for a
 small family. Half the stuffing will be enough for tenderloin.
 Serve stuffed fresh ham or stuffed pork tenderloin with cinnamon apples and glazed sweet potatoes.
 Boned fresh shoulder of pork can be used in place of fresh ham for
 small family, too, and it is much
 less expensive than tenderloin. A boned leg or shoulder of lamb is good with the chestnut stuffing, too. Serve the stuffed lamb roasts with individual molds of mint jelly on thick slices of orange. For vegetables use buttered peas (canned) in turnip cups and po- tato marbles in cream sauce. Fried rabbit, either wild or

 CHILDREN
Qnsg R NEl stlyIeE, ..c
By Olive Roberts Barton l.

T All athletics are great builders of both character and body. Prob ably the greatest teacher of sports manship in the world is the group game that submerges self in the common interest of the crowd.
 But athletics. like most pam aceas, can only help a certain mum Der of boys and girls. How about those not interested, especially the boys?
 Isn't there the makings of great inferiority in the fact that cer- tain boys cannot for some reason or other participate in team work of some sort?
 The Employing Majority
 The vast majority of young chaps in school are not on teams. Figure it up. Two or three foot ball squads at best in most high schools and colleges. Hockey, bas- ketball, baseball, tennis, swim ming, running, jumping, use any, where from five to a dozen Olym- 1 pians-double the number for subs-and out of several thousand students in a school the percentage Is negligible.
 | Say that even ten per cent are officially engaged in sports and allow another ten for the sand | lot teams not connected with school and there still remains a large number of youths to swell the audience.
 In this audience certain num- Der have tried out and failed, but it still leaves an enormous margin who have never tried at all. -
 Most of these young fellows are real sports. They are as enthusi- astic about their team records<as the players themselves. Except in very few cases there is little | jealously. Indeed, the reverse is emphaticaly true, for the average I school youth idolizes the men school in their hands. And this is a grand and glorious thing in itself.
 Fathers Influence
 It would look then as though there were no grounds whatso- ever for inferiority, doesn't it? And there wouldn't be much of it if parents wisely kept silent especially fathers.
 The masculine dream is to have son who, can throw further, run faster, hit harder, and be more nimble-witted than any other boy in town. It is natural-just as natural as it is for mother to wish for daughter as beautiful as La Recamier.
 And it is natural too for such a father to voice his ambition from the time Junior is old enough to pitch his nursing bottle across the nursery.
 Junior grows up with a fearful responsibility in his heart. He must not disappoint his dad. He ] mustn't-he mustn't.
 Look Into the Future
 But perhaps the boy hasn't the makings. Perhaps he hasn't the muscle coordination. nedeed,. or maybe he just isn't built to stand strain. He may not like sports at all, but prefers to read and go to concerts and write plays-
 In the stinging hurt to his own prlue ms Iatner IS HKely to gel careless of his vocabulary and cal him failure and a fool. What a pity! It is so unnecessary and cruel.
 Manliness can flourish without physical strength. It can and does. In ten years a boys record is forgotten, but the mental bfuise isn't. It sets up defense and I too often this harrier betwaep

 Mrs G. C., Detroit
 This is the time when your skin needs special care for complexion defects developed now are difficult to get rid of later. I would suggest that you use this treatment twice a day-cleanse with a good pasteur- ized cream, then smooth on a film of youthifying tissue cream and leave this on for twenty minutes.
 You'll be delighted with, and find very helpful information too, in the new book "So You're Going to Have a Baby" by Helen Washburn.

trayal of Marxism.
The Socialist leaders attack the
Soviet Union because it has no
freedom" freedom for whom?
For the. capitalist elements who had
been dispossessed from the owner
ship of the means Of production ?
For the rich peasants (Kulaks) the
special favorites of the Second In
ternational who are fighting des-
pcrately for their existence as an
exploiting class?
FREEDOM FOR WHOM?
What did the founders Of Scienti-
fic Socialism, think about freedom
for the enemies of the working
class? Engels wrote: page l03)
LAS long as the proletariat still
needs the State, it needs it not in
the interests of freedom, but for
the purpose Of crushing its an
tagOnists; and as soon as it be-
comes possible to speak Of freedom,
then the State, as such, ceases to
exist"
Again and again Marx and Eng
els spoke about the necessity Of the
proletariat to crush the resistance Of
its enemies by means of its own die
tstorship:
the proletariat will, from the
beginning, have to seize into its
hands organized political State
power and with its help smash the
resistance of the capitalist class
and reorganize society" page So.
OF late the Social-Democratic
philistine has once more been filled
with wholesome terror at the words:
Dictatorship of the Proletariat. Well
and good gentlemen, do you want
to know what this dictatorship is,
locks like? Look at the Paris Com
mune. This was the Dictatorship
of the Proletariat."
It is in this way that Marx and
Engels, particularly in the "Critique'
laid down the path which the work
ing class must take in its struggle
against capitalism and for the es-
adjustment Of Socialism.
In the Soviet Union the Commu-
mist Party led by Lenin fulfilled its
revolutionary tasks as laid down by
Marx and Engels. Lenin in his
state and Revolution" revised and
developed these forgotten ideas OF
Marx and Engels.
But Marx and his "Critique,' not
only laid the basis for the political
form which the rule of the working
class must take after it has con-
quered the capitalist class, but with
real scientific genius he actually
laid the basis for the solution of the

countryside will become a-glitter with
the electric lamps named after the
man who had the genius and the vi
sion to map out the program of cleo
trification for the Soviet land, and
who added to his many brilliant for
mutations the one about Communism
being equal to Soviet rule plus cleo
trification.
There is still another meaning to
the term "Dnieprostroy." In terms OF
communal development, it means the
rise of new towns laid out along ra-
tional lines with a view to serve the
needs of the toiling population. Many
such Socialist towns have sprung up
throughout the Soviet Union in the
course of fulfilling the first pyatilet-
ka, but the finest of them all is the
new town at Dnieprostroy.
The post office address of this new
town is still Kichkas, the name of a
village settled by German peasants.
But the socialist town Of Dniepros-
troy is a community quite distinct,
and in many ways-unique. Some
would regard this new settlement as
part of the Greater Zaporozhye that
is to be.
The new town and the new fac
tories are Of one piece. organically
bound UP with the welfare Of the
workers, calculated to afford max
imum of comfort and recreation to
the people who harnessed the Dnie-
per and made 1t drive the wheels of
socialist industry.
The socialist town" at Dniepros-
troy is situated on both banks Of the
Dnieper. Until now, the left bank
has been developed to greater de-
gree than the right one. But on both
sides of the river you can see parks
and boulevards laid out, and the
houses throughout are marked by
beauty and originality of modernistic
design.
There is no great engineering in
volved in the houses that make UP
the socialist town" at Dnieprostroy
Yet these houses are as great an
achievement as the Great Dam itself.
In capitalist countries, too. they have
dams and power stations, but only In
the Soviet Union, only where the
workers are masters Of their own des-
tiny. is town like Dnieprostroy pos
sible. To see this town is to become
doubly dedicated to the cause of
workers rule the world over.

BOULDER DAM AND DNIEPROSTROY

Communist leaders called meetings OF
the masses. They decided that it
could be done. CLEAR the trough at
all costs" was the slogan of the work
ers.
The eight-hour day was found in
sufficient to do the work in time.
Volunteer overtime brigades were then
formed. In the course of 80 days a.
900 men had worked overtime more
than once in addition to the regular
workers on the job.
The fight against the river gripped
the Imagination of every worker on
the job. Men worked, ate hasty meals.
worker again, slept little, never left
the Job until at last, before the frost
came.
The dam contains 1900 900 tons OF
concrete, and in winter the temper
allure falls to 20 degrees below zero.
Now to carry on the work Of laying
concrete and assure finishing on time.
The American engineers said it was
impossible.
In 1880 the plan called for 427 900
cubic meters Of concrete by December
the workers pledged themselves to
place 100000, and exceeded that by
placing $4,000. During that winter,
the workers made another record.
When cold weather set in concrete
work Jagged and the American en-
gineers decided that 5000 tons would
be enough to expect-this stirred the
workers to action--it was clear that
at this rate the task would not be
done on time, SO they raised the
amount to $4,000 and at the end OF
the month 10000 had been laid
When the American engineers de-
cided that the work could not be done,
brigades were formed. An active part
was played by the young workers who
were engaged in the winter of 1881
1882 in laying concrete between the
piers OF the dam.
1t should be made clear that al
though the workers gave time and
energy without stint, every worker
who answered these emergency calls
was well rewarded. In addition to
overtime pay. premiums were paid for
special efforts. Every time a gang
completed its work in less than the
appointed time per centsge was
added to its wages. Could you find
