BY EUGENE LYONS United Press Staff Correspondent MOSCOW. March 6.—Private property, except in simple articles of personal use, has been abolished over one-sixth of the earth’s habitable surface, and a system of socialized ownership and use put in its place. This is the towering single fact about the Soviet Union, which determines, and for Communists, Justifies everything else. It seems too obvious a fact to require mentioning, as though in the midst of the French revolution someone were to discover that the divine rights of kings have been questioned. But thirteen years of bitter partisan argument and speculation about this Russian question have buried the obvious under mountains of incidental matter. It seems to me worth while to try to dig it out. The differences between the Soviet Union and the surrounding world can not be enumerated, because they are almost without limit right through. Basie Ideas Changed Traced to their roots these differences come to the same central fact: the changed relation between humanity and its property. The whole amazing complex of events here—from the inspiring industrial plans to the silliest taboo against anything remotely bourgeois—comes down to a deep hatred of the old system on the one hand, and on the other to a dogged determination to fortify and carry forward the new system. The Russian generation which has grown up since 1917 reacts so differently to the simplest things in life that it would be helpless in a capitalist environment, as helpless as an African savage stranded In New York. I refer to such basic everyday things as money, clothes, sex relations, ambitions, entertainment. I do not mean that greed has disappeared but that money as an end in itself, as a test of personal success or social usefulness, has disappeared. Deals Are Different I mean that from the way a man whom you meet in the corridor of an institution is dressed you can not tell whether he’s the president or its humblest clerk; in fact, if he’s dapperly dressed he’s more likely to be the clerk. Careerists avaricious for glory oi for power there are aplenty, perhaps more than elsewhere, but the ordinary ambition whose Bhiriing goal is a fat bank account and a flock of servants is unthinkable here. There is a pride of birth in Rus-

sia today as vigorous and as ludicrous as in the court of Nicholas the last. But it is a pride in proletarian or peasant origin. For every emigre lackey who poses as a Russian count in Paris or New York, there are a dozen real counts here posing as well-born sons of blacksmiths or peasants. Without arguing the wisdom or the justice of such basic changes in the values of life, one must admit as a simple matter of record that new and far-reaching attitudes have been born into the world. Anew force has been let loose which must color the whole future of mankind, for good or ill, whatever direction the Soviet enterprises may take. The French revolution, it will be recalled, ended with the fiasco of anew emperor and anew empire. For its own generation it had simmered down into a miserable failure. But the business of kingship never was the same thereafter. And whatever the ultimate fate of the Russian revolution, the business of private ownership for profit and everything that is directly or indirectly connected with it, never will be the same thereafter.

ARKANSAS OUT AFTER NEVADA'S DIVORCE TRADE New 90-Day Residence Law to Make Hot Springs Reno's Rival. BY LEO D. MARTIN, HOT SPRINGS, Ark.* March 6. The “Welcome” 'ign is being painted in larger letters on the mat, and this city’s latch-string is not only out, but has a blue ribbon tied on the end. Arkansas is preparing to welcome, on an eq-al basis with famous Reno, those couples who have begun to chafe under the bonds of matrimofiy. Governor Parnell has signed a new law just passed by the state legislature which reduces the time

Do Just These Two Simple Things —Fat Melts Away Science has made important discoveries in fat reduction. The average fat person can now rip off fat a pound a day—four to seven pounds every week!— on a full stomach, with never a hungry moment. Thus it is foolish now to stay fat. This is what you do: Take a teaspoonful ordinary- Jad Salts In a glass of water half hour before breakfast every morning. This reduces moisture-weight instantly. Also cleanses the system of the waste matter and excess toxins that most fat people have, and banishes puffiness and bloat. Then do this about eating, FILL YOUR STOMACH—eat your fill—of lean meats, vegetables like spinach,

of residence necessary to a divorce from one year to ninety days. It becomes effective June 12, and a person who has already -been a resident of the state for ninety days at that time could flit suit on that day and be granted a decree thirty days later/ That means that the first crop of new-sty l - Arkansas divorces should mature on or about July 12. . Hot Springs and its vicinity is admirably suited to the job of giving Reno a run for its money in the new challenge for the title of “The Divorce Capital of the United States.” Hot Springs National park has luxurious hotels, golf courses, mountain trails, tennis courts, horseback riding, swimming, boating, fishing on two artificial lakes, theaters which run- week days and Sundays alike, at least three large and luxurious night-clubs, and, in shortfall the paraphernalia of the southern winter resort. All this besides the forty-six famous hot springs with their famous health-giving properties. The city of Little Rock may also be a bidder for divorce fame. The routine court cost of an Ar-

cauliflower, cabbage, tomatoes, etc., and lots of salads. Eat a lot. Eat all you can hold. Don’t go hungry a minute! Cut down on butter, sweets and desserts, bread. Eat any fruit except bananas, for dessert. That’s all you do. Fat seems to melt away. The coarse lines of overweight give way to the refined ones of slenderness. You lose as much as a pound a day. You feel better than for years. For in this treatment you achieve two important results. The Jad Salts clear your system of toxins. ‘The diet takes off fat with food that turns into energy instead of weight. if you're tired of being embarrassed by fat, try this way. You’ll be glad that you did. You can get Jad Salts at any drug store. ‘Note particularly the salts are urged purely as a- poison-banishing agent— not as a reducing. The change in food does the work.—Advertisement.

to equal Nevada’s divorce rate. Latest official figures give Nevada a rate of 53.8 divorces per 1,000 population and Arkansas a fate of 14.1 divorces per 1.000 population. Less than 3 per cent of the population of the United States is engaged in the mining industry.
