i Conditions in Russia have grown
| steadily worse since the local Rus-
| sians came to East Petersburg in
{ 1823. Prices charged the farmers and
small townsman are prohibitive, the
five rubles
which is equivalent to a-
lletters say. Butter costs
|a pound,
[Bont $2.50.
{ Potatoes retail at 10 rubles the
| bushel, or about five dollars. Sugar
can be had for three rubles, or $1.50
{a pound. Soap costs four rubles, or
|$2 a pound. Stockings sell for six
rubles a pair, or $3.
The Soviet, which seizes the farm-
|er’'s wheat for the factory worker,
| still is taking the lion’s share of
farm products. “They bring things
‘to the market, but one half is taken
away, and sometimes the other half
too,” the letter to Mrs. Eckert says.
It is the theory of the Soviet that
{the farmer remains a capitalist by
| his ownership of land, which he has
{no ‘right to own, and hence he is
[taxed to the limit. “If they do not
| pay the taxes, they go to jail or
| Siberia,” the local emigrants explain.
Was Dispossessed
The Crimea is peninsula
southern Russia which extends into
| the Black Sea and its flour mills
{once were the pride of the nation.
| That was in the Czarist days before
the great Russian bear turned red.
Then Mr. Eckert lost his position as
foreman in a mill and was dispos-
sessed of most of his property. With
the aid of friends, the Eckerts
| hastened to this country.
of
the
“Now the mills are run by the
| Bolsheviki,” the Eckerts explain.
“And our friends cannot leave, as
| we did. The Soviet does not allow it.
{ They must stay, no matter how much
(they would like to come to America
or go to another country. Most of
| them would be glad to go anywhere
[to get away from the Boisheviki.”
Efforts to send money or goods to
Russia have been found futile by the
| local people. The goods is returned
| by those for whom it is intended be-
cause the tariff imposed by the
Soviet is more than the goods are
worth or the people are able to pay.
| And there has been a strange silence
| concerning most of the Roney sent
[there which makes the local resi-
dents believe it was seized by the
state.
According to foreign observers,
the Communists have a strangle hold
on Russia. The workers have been
kept satisfied by fair wages and the
i glory of being the only voters in a
land once tyranized by royalty. A
seizable army has been maintained
for the sake of internal peace. The
old Czarist regime has been exiled,
executed or suppressed, and most
of the peasants in interior Russia
have been reasonably satisfied with
the return from crops and fear a
change might bring back the dread-
ed landlord.
Make Own Shoes
But down in the Crimea,
Moscow rules with a distant but
powerful hand, the peasant and
townsman suffer. “They write that
one day they have gome food; the
next day, nothing to eat,” the Eck-
erts say. “They must save crumbs.
There is no style in dress there any-
more. They cannot buy shoes, so
they make wooden ones.”
How long this will last is proble-
matical. Economists and historians
predicted the Soviet’s® downfall
“within a few months” ever since it
began, but it appears to have grown
stronger steadily. The Five Year plan,
begun three years ago, satisfies
somewhat the claims of Stalin and
his ministry. Factories are being built
and operated, employment is easy to
find, world markets are being sought
add American capital solicited. If
the bulk of Russia is kept busy, per-
haps such odd corners of the na-
tion as the Crimea will feel only the
power, but not the prosperity, of
the nation.
The letters sent here are carefully
written, the Eckerts say, and must
escape the, censorship of the Soviet.
The distribution of news is closely
PBupervised and the dispalches of
foreign correspondents are carefully
censored in order to keep Russia

FY OSALIND ASHLEY entered the
restaurant, chose a seat at a va-
cunt table by the wall. She was
young and pretty and wore a wedding
ring. The day wus only. half done,
and already she had explained to
scores of amazed acquaintances that,
no, she was not married; the ring was
merely part of a sorority initiation,
She was determined to eat her lunch
in peace, and so she had chosen a res-
taurant where she did not expect to
encounter any of her friends. Surely,
if she were among strangers, a wed-
ding ring could not prove to be a dis-
turbing element.
A young man, pulling a small child
by the hand, entered the restaurant.

thought Rosalind with something like
a pang of regret in her own lonely
heart. “He's the sort who would do
anything for the woman he loves. even
take his baby daughter to a public

such husbands?

“One of my ancestors won a battle
during the Crusades by his skill in
handling artillery,” said the baron.
“But, my dear baron!” said his
friend, “at the time of the Crusades
gunpowder had not been discovered.”
“I know that as well as you do, and
so did my ancestor.”
“How did he win the battle, then?”
“He brought the artillery to bear
on the Saracens, and they, seeing the
guns, supposed that powder had at
last been invented, and fled in dis-
