Most of these dues and sub
scriptions are compulsory. The
two of us earned 100 rubles a
month and paid our employer,
the government, back little more
than 140 rubleS. What We had
left was equal to about half a
dollar a month, to provide break
fasts and dinners for three,
clothing. laundry. amusement,
medicines, and other necessities.
Diet Of Bread, Cruel
Fortunately we had American
clothes to sell, American friends
to help us out occasionally. But
our normal diet was black bread,
black cruel, and boiled water.
For three and one-half years we
lived on this starvation basis. Yet
We were better off than the great
mass of Russian workers.
Conditions became absolutely
unbearable after January l, 1885.
On that day Stain put into ef-
feet the great form" of
abolishing the bread card system.
It was hailed abroad as a ire
mendous improvement. It turned
out to be another blow at the
workers.
Up to 1885 I paid on my food
card "a kopecks for a kilo "a little
above two poundS) of black bread.
During 1885 I paid one ruble for

BOOK HERALDS
SPRING HERE
"Make mine a Book, Gus"


So, for seven centuries. in every
tongue, have men heralded the
spring. drowning winter and its
attendant ills in the brewer S
dark brown miracle.
It's aroma is the breath OF
spring itself. Since 1856 when
it was first brewed by an un-
known hero at EinbeCk on the
Inn, 40 miles from Hamburg, it
has flowed it's smooth and creamy
way through history.
Traditionally the book beer sea-
son opens st. Patrick'S eve
March 16-but it is already to be
had wherever you see its litho-
graphed symbol, the billy goat.
The symbol derives. from the
legendary tale of a contest held
between a brewer and knight.
The rules were that each should
drink book, stein for stein, and
at intervals endeavor to thread
a needle while standing like a
stork on one leg. After the
twelfth gallon the knight toppled
over. Gurgled the brewer:
"My book has butted him
Over!"
Book is a top fermented beer,
two-thirds barely malt and one
third wheat malt. Specially
picked hops go into its making,
and caramel gives it the dark
color and the creamy collar.

ARTICLE ONE
By SOPHIE HORNYAK


The great masses Of workers in
Soviet Russia are worse off today
than they were even during the
catastrophe famine years Of 1882
and 1898.
I left Moscow together with my
son on July l, 1885, after living
and working in the Soviet Union
for As months. Since our arrival
in the United States, have
heard Soviet propagandiStS say:
There has been great
change for the better In Rus
sia since last year. True, things
were bad q couple Of years ago.
All the stories about the hOr-
rOrs of Soviet life now being
published belong to that period.
This year Soviet Russia Is
making wonderful progress,
food Is plentiful, everybody is
happy"
The people who report this i'm
provement are the very people
who failed to report the great
famine, the mass terror, the exile
and imprisonment of millions
during 1928. At that time they
also reported wonderful Soviet
progress. Now that the truth Of
those Stalin,made calamities is
out, they are singing the old song
to new tune.
Change for Worse
It is true, there has been a
change in Russia. The fields OF
the Ukraine and the Volga are no
longer Strewn with corpSeS. A new
facade has been put up by Stain,
but behind it is the old order of
slavery and hunger If anything,
its hardShips have become more

muniSt before 1 went to the Soviet
Union. I took my children there
to rear them in the land of work
ers' freedom. And toiled in that
land through the years Of the five
year plan, the famine, the terror,
and the recent reforms" such as
the abolition Of the bread card
system.
It was Soviet propaganda that
carried me to Russia. My husband,
also a member of the Communist
party in America, organized
group of mechanics all eager to
emigrate to the Soviet Union. I
was the happiest woman in the
world when he announced in the
fall of 1881 that he had signed a
contract with the Amtorg Trading
Corporation.
Our two children, Communist
pioneers in this country. were
happy to move with us to the land
of our dreams. We arrived in Mos
COW early in october. My husband
was assigned to good job. He re-
ceived a salary of 500 rubles a
month and a food book on the
"insnab" supply store for for
eignerS.
Husband Leaves Her
Things looked good until I
went shopping for the house
hold and discovered that 500
rubles would buy no more than
$40 in America. Even more dis
tressing was the fact that my
husband all to quickly adapted
himself to the Communist sys-
tenn. He left me and went to
live with a Komsomol girl-a
member of the Young Commu-
mist League.
