NEW ARISTOCRACY 1 IN RUSSIA MAY END COMMUNISM Human Yearning for Gewgaws Ignored by Soviet Government. This is the fourth of a series of articles on Russia written bv william Philip Simms. Scripps-Howard Staff correspondent. By William Philip Simftis. MOSCOW (By Mail).—The streets of Moscow make you wonder. In a shop window facing Red Square and Just across from the Kremlin and the mausoleum of Lenin, daddy of proletariat rule in Russia, I saw a sable scarf priced 935 rubles—*s47o in American money. In another shop window, a handsome jewelry store in the fashionable shopping street of Kuznetsky Most, were splendid diamonds and other precious stones, but unpriced There was a comparatively simple bracelet for S2OO, watches at $l5O, platinum-and-gold meshbags at SSOO and thereabouts, platinum-and-gold cigaret cases, diamond and rubystudded clgaret and cigar holders and whatnot. Oranges In the fruit shops were 20-cents a piece; grapes, 55 cents a pound: figs of a very mediocre quality at 35 cents a pound: puny little . plums, sold on the curb hy a little > >ld lady vender, at five for 6 cents. Other things were at corresponding prices. High-Priced Autos I saw Rolls Royces, Lincolns, Cadillacs, Packards, Mercedes, Fiats, Daimlers and other high-priced cars careering past street Intersections, sending pedestrians—men, women and children —scurrying. I could not help wondering who was buying all these things—these' handsome furs, these diamonds, these high priefed automobiles. The maximum salary of a communist party man is fixed at approximately slls a month. That won’t buy sable coats and Rolls Royces. Eighty per cent of Russia’s 130,000,000 people are peasants. They are Just making ends meet and that’s all. They are not indulging in Lincolns and diamond cigar holders. Another seven and a half per cent are engaged In the manufacturing industries and the rest live In the cities and work at various occupations. None of these—if a member of the communist party—gets more than the slls maximum. So they aren’t indulging. But somebody must be buying these things. And I tried to find out who it is. The closest I could get to It was that the “Nepmen” are doing it. Lenin's original conception was that the government should do everything—buy and sell and all. When this scheme broke down the new economic Policy was introduced | -NEP they call it after the initials. Today private Interests are free to enter the Industrial field without formalities of any kind if they employ not more than twenty workers. With the permission of the local authorities private interests may

Unseen Sources of Long Life The basic soorcea of automobile value are not always apparent to the eye. * A motor car, like a house, may LOOK a great deal more substantial than it really is. Because of this difficulty, more and more thousands are turning to Dodge Brothers product for insurance against disappointment. The years have proved, and each year proves anew, that Dodge Brothers are as deeply concerned with the UNSEEN goodness of their motor car, as with the seen. The mileage it will deliver, the safety it will provide, the expense and trouble it will save the owner over a period of years, are quite as important to Dodge Brothers as the more obvious details of equipment and style.

Coring Machine Tests Paving

John Gill and Alexander Moore, city engineer’s office, using the new coring in achine.

Like the dictaphone and figures, the coring machine doesn’t lie. George G. Schmidt, city engineer, has induced the board of works to buy a coring machine, to test all paving laid during the present administration. Picture shows two employes of the city engineer’s, office testing sidewalk paving on the south side employ up to 100 workers, and under special leasing or concession agreements, industries up to any size may do business as a private concern. These people are called "Nepmen,” because born of the new economic policy. Some of them, it is said, are very prosperous. They cannot belong to the communist party and they cannot vote; nobody exploiting the labor of another nay do these things. But apparently they can buy mink, Rolls Royces and rubystudded clgaret holders. A New Aristocracy Here you have anew aristocracy springing up In Soviet Russia. Will it not hasten the country’s return to normalcy? It is human for people to want handsome things, particularly the female of the species. It belonging to the communist party means the other fellow and his wife are going to ride in the swell cars and wear diamonds, there's going to be a lot of dissastisfied folks among the communists. Bank on it. To my mind, the weakest part of the whole Russian idea is that it completely fails to take into account the very human yearning for the gewgaws of life. The highbrow may call it a silly yearning, but it's there and gnawing away at us Just the same. ‘DEAD’ YOUTH RETURNS Bw United Prre * LAWRENCEBURG, Ind., Aug. 26. —Believed dead for two years. William Ellison was here today visiting his parents. Ellison disapp-ared from home and a body later found in the Ohio river was identified as that of the missing Lawrenceburg youth. It was buried in the Ellison family plot here.
