Many of these youngsters, who not only don

time did not feel their shadows in the doorway,
but the waitress intuition or nose caused that
lady to turn and make sudden charge, crying:
Get out you dirty little sonvasoandsoski!"
She quick, with onside kick of her
heavy Russian, synthetic-leather shoe, but not
quick enough, because it connected only with fly
ing coattails.
In spite of the never ending government
propaganda that the United States is the wicked
est country in the world composed of few bill
lonaires' and the rest trembling slaves driven to
work with=the whip, the average Russian secretly
admires us Mattresses serving American
always proud to show that they know word

TT HE homeless ones, having no choice except be-
Il tween theft and beggary in land where most
everyone is destitute, choose both Though the
average native is not worth robbing and has little
to give to beggar but sympathy. there are oc-
casonal windfalls for the beggar and in a
while big chance for the thief.
The American woman, prancing along Rus
sian street, looks to these starving children as a
Spanish treasure galleon did to the pirates of DID,
AS result the children spend their time picking
up an occasional crust coin by begging but
always their keen eyes darling about for the
chance to steal
Foreign tourists are quite safe from the at

unsavory sights and smells, revealing the true
state of things, they kept far from the care

l was strolling along an empty street on
the outskirts of Baku, in broad daylight, when

aged from eight to perhaps
fourteen, who had materi-
allied from nowhere.
My chief concern was to
see which rascal had my hat
but all were shouting, dodg-
ing and acting as if passing
something, presumably that
hat from one to the other.
1t beat any hidden ball play
ever saw on an American
gridiron. While l was still
trying to solve the play, they
all suddenly threw their hands
up in the air and ran away in
all directions. Their single,
buttonless garments stream
ing straight out from the
shoulders revealed that none
of them could possibly have
my hat.
In the soundless and hat
less solitude in which they
left me, l was able to recon-
struct the crime. Of course
the fight was a fake to catch
my attention, and a side alley
just behind explained the sud-
den appearance of the mob.
My hat had left me at a
spot where a tree encroaching
on the sidewalk forced me to

especially in Summer, but a woman's pocketbook,
besides money, real foreign money may contain
passports or other papers, which in Russia are
joke to lose. When brooch is snatched besides
the loss of the trinket itself, the may find
the thief has taken quite sample of the dress
along with it.
Worst of all are earrings. I saw an American
woman who had the painful experience of watch
ing considerable portion of her ear disappearing
in small and unwashed hand. 1t was out
rage, yet she had been warned not to flaunt
jewels before nation of paupers.
Occasionally in American restaurants, l have
read the warning, WATCH YOUR HAT AND
COAT. In Russia it is not enough to watch them.
You must either wear your coat or sit on it and
if your hat won't endure being sat upon you must
cling to it with grip of death.
In those rolling bedbug barracks which the
Russians call sleeping cars, every passenger is
taught how to wrap himself around his bag in such
manner that thief cannot steal it without
awakening the rightful owner.
Snatching pocketbooks and iewelry is a seri-
Gus offense for which usually two members of
the kid-mobsters arrested at random More
likely than not these had no actual hand in the
snatching but they were in on the plot and are
equally guilty After the arrest they are not seen
again. What their punishment is 1 do not know
because it is another of those bits of information
which Comrade May thought unessential to my
usefulness as GPU spy.
But hat-snatchng is considered more or less
of joke, goes unpublished and is so prevalent
that have heard the homeless ones referred to
as the 4"hat-snatchers' guild" In buying hat in
Russia | always wondered how many times it had
been sold and snatched before. A French friend
of mine vowed that he bought his own hat back
On the street, the best hat insurance is to
carry heavy cane. The boys and girls don't like
to be raped the head with it. But sitting
on park bench or near open window, even on
second-story, ones hat is in jeopardy. The most
spectacular feat is snatching the hat from pass
enger on top of moving bus.
The thing is an acrobatic performance worthy
of exhibition on the stage and must have been
rehearsed with the greatest care, though probably
not on moving bus saw it happen in that same
Baku and shortly after my own hat had gone over
the wall.
The bus had stopped at an intersection either
to wait for traffic or to take on passengers

street and began to pick up little speed. My at
tention was attracted by the chatter of its worn

MINIATURE SHIP
 NOW ON DISPLAY

What should be of considerable interest to Juneau citizens wno follow the water trade and ship model construction, is the newly made miniature replica of the Rus sian schooner, The Teal on display in the window of the Yurman Fur Factory.
 This model ship was carved by Gordon Karipari, Eskimo, of Dio- mede Island during 1939-40. It took approximately eight months to complete this boat.
 The Russian schooner, The Teal, was ship wrecked between Diomede Island and the Siberian coast and was washed ashore at East Cape. Gordon Karipari was a small boy iat the time of this incident and accompanied his father in helping to salvage the material left on board.
 The hull of the boat is made from split whalebone The sails, masts, deck and cabin are made from walrus ivory. The rigging is made from split whalebone.

 If sportsmen can agree on any policies and present to the game o m m i si ion a recommendation which has behind it majority opin- ion, it's just as good as law right then.
