And so Russian family life in

come just a casual camp in
which to dress, sleep, grab a
casual snack or have an occa-
Sional chat.
But how about the regular
meals? And who takes care Of
the baby?
The Russians have an answer
for that. Community restau-
rants, run by experts, take care
of the meals. Community nur.
series, also run by experts, take
care of the babies.
This scheme, the Russians
say, takes care of more than

They believe that women,
themselves, never voted that

but that men put them there
to suit masculine convenience.
And now, since women have as
much voice as men in ruling
modern Russia, women are be-

they're getting out!
So there's our huge, new

News has been so clamorous
in the Western World that
little, recently, has been heard
about the great struggle which
has been going on in India be-
tween the British, on the one
hand, and the Nationalist, led
by Mahatma Gandhi, on the
other. But strong intimations
have appeared in the European
press that the British control of
vast India is, perhaps, more Sc
cure today than it has been for
years past.
The inside story Of the strug-
gle in India is that the rulers Of
the native states-the princes
do not really want the British
to leave. Their ever-present
fear, as Col. E. Alexander Powell
remarks in his book, 1.-THE Last
Home of Mystery" is that
Britain may desert them; that
q constitutional form of govern
ment may be forced upon them,
and that they may wake up
some morning to find the Ma
tionalists in power, their ruler
ship swept away.
Land of Contrasts
Native India, as distinct from
British India, is not under Brit
ish rule, although it is under
British control or protection.
There are some ecO states in ra-
tive India, each ruled over by
an hereditary prince.
In that land of contrasts and
contradictions, there is nothing
more interesting than the per-
sonality of the men who rule
these native States. The Splen-
dor in which many of the
princes live is almost unbeliev-
able. The Maharajah of Patti
ala has his private race course,
his polo field, kennels contain
400 dogs of various breeds, huge
stables of elephants and horses,
and more than 300 motor cars
in his garage, including AZ
Rolls oyces.
The young Maharajah of
Gwalior lives in a marble pal
ace which could contain a dozen
White Houses, and wears
around his boyish neck a string
of pearls valued at 100000.
The Maharajah of Kapur-
thala, whose collection of en-
eralds is the finest in the world,
spends the Paris season in a
house in the Bots de Boulogne.
The Aga Khan, head of all the
Mohammedans of India, keeps
half a dozen racing stables in
France alone, a shooting box in
Scotland, a palace in London,
an apartment in Paris and a
chateau on the Riviera.
They are making the last
stand of despotism, these gilt
tering peacocks of India.

Hospitality

It's difficult for you to enter
tain some of the folk who come
to visit.
Because they do not enjoy
your kind of amusement or
sport you become a bit grouchy
and moody, indicating that you
are an unsuccessful host or
hostess.
It is a matter Of selfiShness
then, when you find it so hard
to act your part when you have
your friends as guests?
Just because they interfere
a little with what you want to
do and do not enter into what
you plan, you really do not wei
come their visit, is that it?
Unwilling to give up your
own pleasures in order to afford
some pleasure to those who
come to see you, are you?

Under the self-assumed title
of liberals" the beet sugar
block in the United States Sen
ate, consisting of the Senators
from the beet sugar States are
Matching a scheme to repeal the
permanent treaty between the
United States and Cuba. This
is the treaty which includes
among its provisions the Plat
amendment.
BY the terms of the Platt
amendment, Cuba engages never
to make a treaty with foreign
power, which would jeopardize
Cuban independence, and never
to permit any foreign power to
obtain Judgment in or control
over any portion of the island,
by colonization or for military
or naval purposes.
Cuba binds herself also, under
this amendment, never to con-
tract a public debt the service
on which can not be met from
ordinary revenue.
Terms of Treaty
In order to safeguard Cuban
independence. Cuba consents to
intervention on the part of the
United States whenever in the
judgement of the United States
intervention is essential to the
maintenance of a government
adequate "for the protection Of
life, property and individual
liberty" and strong enough to
discharge the obligations i'm
posed by the Treaty of Paris on
the United States in regard to
Cuba.
The Plat amendment takes
its name from its author, the
late Senator Plat of Connect
cut, who offered it as an amend
ment to the military appropria'
lions bill which passed the Sen
ate on February 81. 1901. and
the House on March l, Of the
same year.
Cuba embodied the Platt
amendment in her constitution
and also in a permanent treaty
with the United States.
This was done under the ad'
ministration of President NC
Kinley. The sequel to the Platt
amendment came under the sue
ceeding administration of the
first President Roosevelt. His
administration negotiated and
obtained the ratification by the
Senate of a reciprocity treaty
with Cuba. This treaty was
fought by the same gigantic
sugar lobby that is now conduct
ing a sapping expedition against
the Plat amendment.
The reasons why Cuba is
entitled to a liberal reciprocity
treaty with the United States
were never better stated than
Mr.. Root stated them in his
annual report as Secretary, Of
