It's a Big Task Getting
Pet Cat Out of Russia

MOSCOW, U. S. S. Ran Ameri-
can cat named Fluff has provided the
latest example OF how overwhelmingly
difficult the Russian bureaucracy can
make the simplest of tasks and Incl
dentally has cast some shadows on
the reputation of Russian furs.
When Fluff's mistress recently de-
cided to return to the United States
with her pet she was forced to submit
the animal to veterinary for exami-
nation, to have the veterinary's GER
tificate certified by a notary, to have
the notary's signature certified by the
commissariat of foreign affairs and to
purchase two visas for Germany and
Poland, the German visa alone cost
ing % rubles. This was all very SIM
pie. Then the Soviet customs stepped
in to complicate matters.
1.-The expectation of cats is forbid
den without special permission of the
fur trust" she was told. They are
fur-bearing animals and the export of
fur is a state monopoly"
So once more Fluff's mistress, the
latter's husband. their chauffeur and
their secretary went to work. and after
"a hours received a handsome certifi-
cate emitting Fluff to leave the coun-
try. Saved from the red terror"
against cats, she is now tapping cream
on the high seas.

Demand for Georgian

SCARED old mansions so that they may
take up once more their roles in the
glittering social scene.
Houses with wig chambers are par

where grand London citizens of the
stately past had their powdered wigs
tended by the visiting barber, are now
emerging from the gloom Of forgetful-
ness to shine in pastel-shaded paint

Soviet Bread Move
Calls Bake Experts

MOSCOW R-Soviet officials have
sent out a hurry call for experienced
bakers employed in other lines to re-
turn to government bakeshops in an
effort to supply superior bread in the
commercial shops which have dis
placed special closed shops since the
abolition of bread cards.
One hundred and nineteen bread
stores and kiosks in Moscow are sup
plying the public with bakery products
and making a special effort to offer
wares superior to those provided when
bread was issued on cards at lower
prices to workers.
Under the card system workers were
permitted to buy a pound Of black
bread daily for each member of their
family at a price about half the new
commercial prices. This was more
bread than the average family used,
but it was ordinarily bought because 1t
was so cheap and could be traded to
peasants for dairy products, vege-
tables and meat J.

which it has placed on foreign loans.
1t will do this with the greatest pru-
dence; the policy of the government is
to authorize only loans which gravi-
tate about the pound sterling and par
ticularly when such loans are suscept-
ible of carrying in their wake orders
for British industry.
These possibilities, one sees, are linn
tied; but the fact which dominates all
is that the United States, which for
merly was to be feared and even quasi
irresistible, for the moment is entirely
out of the running. From this fact
England gets a satisfaction she does
not pretend to hide. Perhaps she is
exaggerating the American eclipse,
which without doubt will not last for
ever.
Be that as it may, the English
financial market senses its present OPP
portunities and is planning to take adj
vantage Of them. You have the dis
tinct impression that the English are
again ready to undertake a policy Of
international activity. They are ready
to forget the bad debts Of yesterday,
knowing that England's life blood is
world trade and her greatest concern
is to put the mechanism of world ex-
change in movement.

Soviet Papers Shower
Stain With Epithets

MOSCOW, U. S. S. R.-When Com
rade Josef Stain, the Soviet dictator
read his morning papers he must have
much the same sensation as a person
who. after eating a pound of choco-
lates, is offered a plate of fudge.
Even vain person would tire Of
the monotonous string of epithets
which every Soviet newspaper and
every Soviet orator preflxes to the
name of the Russian strong man.
particularly because his name must be
mentioned in every utterance which
deals in any way with Soviet political
affairs.
Stain finds himself described as
our own dear, great. beloved, saga
cious. genial, steel-like. friend, leader.
pilot. captain. teacher and compan-
ion in arms of Lenin." while on occa-
sion the poster painters stoop to sheer
absurdity by referring to him as the
greatest friend Of the physical cultur-
lists"
Naturally all Of the aforementioned
adjectives are not applied to him at
any one time, but are arranged in
fiattering combinations, the most COM
mon being "our great and beloved
Stain. our beloved teacher and pilot
Stain" and "our own beloved leader"
The word rodney" meaning "ovn,"
is comparatively recent innovation.
The lesser lights of communism are
generally referred to only as Com
rade So-and-So," but a few of the more
important have graduated from this
class. Thus the highly poplar kim
Vorshilov, commissar of defense and
the most polished big bolshevik, rates
the prefix "ironlike"-as contrasted
with Stains l-like"-and Lazar
Kaganovitch, secretary of the Central
Committee, is lauded as leader of the
Moscow bolsheviki."
These epithets might bring bushes
OF embarrassment to the hard bitten
cheeks of the big bolsheviks were it
not for the fact that most of them are
employed at the behest of the Commu-
mist party, which in turn Is run en-
tirely by the comrades in question.
They are about as significant as the
splendid decorations with which the
broad chests of certain dictators have
been plastered since their advent to
power.

curious contrasts. Mr.. Edgerton, the

New Year call.

The same crowd is present today and
did one not know the faces he might
think he beheld this same scene in
the days of the Sos. Men may come
and men may 60, but receptions go
on forever"
Among the best looking men at the

WORK TO START SOON ON SCHOOL AT MATANUSKA
More than 300 Colonists Children Will Occupy
 l8-room Structure

Work on the proposed 18-room 1chool house on the Matanuska pro- ject will be started as soon as the iettlers' houses are little further advanced, ording to A. E.. Karnes, Commissioner of Education, who has just returned from a visit to the project. It is doubtful if the school building will be entirely com- pleted by the time the school term cpens, MT. Karnes said, but ar engagements for temporary housing for short time in the fall are be- ing made SC that there will be no interruption in the school work.
 There are more than 300 chil- dren among the Colonists, the Com missioner said, and teachers have already been contracted to handle the work.
 MT. Karnes found the settlers go- ing along in good shape with their work and for the most part en- tirely happy with their new ven- ture. Those. to whom he talked ex- pressed themselves as glad of the opportunity to do something for themselves. It is estimated by some who are in touch with the project that enly about seven percent of the settlers are not entirely satis- fled with conditions, he reported.
 While on his trip Commissioner Karnes bought a farm at Knik, l5 miles from Wasilla, which he plans to use for hunting lodge and re- creation place during his vacations. Knik is one Of the oldest trading posts in the Territory, and while now only four persons live in the place, at one time it supported one |of the largest stores in Alaska. The Commissioners farm is little more than 300 acres and game abounds in the vicinity.

 FOR NEW DEAL
Various Measures Causing Split Am on g Mem
 bers of Congress

WASHINGTON, June 24.-New signs indicate dissatisfaction with several New Deal measures has arisen, leading some congressional chiefs to privately express fears of a major uprising in the Democratic ranks unless the present session ends soon or different tactics are adopted.
 Concrete evidence of discontent include the dissatisfaction of some with the share of wealth tax an- nouncement on the grounds that the announcement might have been a political move.
 Others are privately opposed to the Wagner Labor Disputes bill which was put through with Ad- ministration approval.
 Some members of the House Ways and Means Committee express doubts of the constitutionality of the Guffey Coal bill, which is virtu- ally little MIRA in the soft coal industry.
 A private poll of the House indi- cates substantial majority against the abolition of all unnecessary" utilities holding companies despite Presidential pressure for enactment.
 Because of this situation renewed efforts are being made to expe- dite legislation on the program of things that must be done during this session.
