Dr. Ola Putnam, above, of Marceline, Mo., stirred his home town by publishing in the local paper a list of the persons who owed him, with the sum which he was willing to deduct from each over-due bill. He discounted SIO,OOO from $36,000 on his books. Merchants of the town declined to join in the discount movement. HELP JOBLESS Relief Funds Will Benefit by ‘lnsull Plan.’ Indianapolis welfare funds will benefit by several thousands of dollars from the so-called “Insull plan” of wage contribution, it was announced here today by Robert M. Feustel, Indiana Insull chief. The plan is being studied by Dr. John H. Hewitt, state unemployment relief director, with the idea of interesting other large industrialists in it. Under the Insull plan, according to an outline given Hewitt by Frank M. Dee, Insull industrial relations manager, each employe of the various Insull companies contributes to local charity one-half to one day’s pay each month for the next five months. For each dollar thus subscribed the company adds 50 cents. The money is given to the charities where the workers live and since Insull offices are located here Indianapolis and Marion county will benefit Feustel pointed out. Insull organizations have cut no wages in Indiana, he asserted. HIGHWAY BUILDING HIT Funds Should Be Used to Retire Road Bonds, Orr Argues By Times Spetial WASHINGTON, Ind., Nov. 6. Suggestion that construction of state highways be halted and funds used to retire present road bonds in Indiana counties, was made Thursday by Lawrence F. Orr, chief examiner of the state accounts board, in an address to the Rotary Club here. “Because of the high rate of Interest of bonds not retired, taxes have become almost unbearable in Indiana counties,” he said. “Funds should be used to retire these bonds and relieve the taxpayers’ burden rather than for construction of new roads.” FOLEY TO BE SPEAKER Scheduled for Armistice Day Address at Oaklandon.

—Topsy-Turvy Russia — No. 2. RUSSIA HAS NO TASKS WOMEN CAN’TPERFORM ‘Weak Sex’ Proves Just as Strong, and Even at Manual Labor. Here Is the second of twelve remarkable articles by Julia Blanshard, staff writer, whom NEA Service and The Times sent to Soviet Russia to ret the Merest story in the world today. Here she presents the story of the people, not the story of a cause. BY JULIA BLANSHARD. Staff Writer for NEA Service and The Times. (Copyright, 1931. NEA Service. Inc.l TF you were a woman living in Russia— You would have “equal rights” with men whether you wanted them or not. You would be expected to work and support yourself and be of as much use in building the new Soviet state as any man. There Is absolutely no sex discrimination. You could enter any profession and rise to a position of authority, if you made good. You would find no barriers or prejudices against >uur doing the heaviest or the most disagreeable kind of manual labor. “I never had much use for women workers until I came to Russia.” is the tribute paid them by Colonel Hugh Cooper, eminent American engineer building Dneiprostroi, the largest dam in the world. “I never even had a woman stenographer at home. When I came on this job I found I had to consult women engineers, hire women laborers. And do you know they are more conscientious and better than men!” Standing on the top of this dam I looked down hundreds of feet to the temporary road and saw women, with great felt boots on their feet tramping down the new cement. “We always put one woman at least on every shift,” the official told me. “They raise the morale.” * tt M IN the Youth Day parade I saw two women sailors, obviously regular “gobs,” marching with men sailors. Russia has two women generals in the Red army. Two-thirds of all the medical students in Russia are women. Women lawyers are legion, women architects work side by side with men on all the new buildings. Traveling in the south of Russia, one night we got off while the train refueled. A woman engineer stepped out of the locomotive’s cab. A woman dressed in clumsy felt boots and man’s coat, big hose in hand, climbed up and refilled the water tanks. The next day we saw women laying a railroad track. tt tt tt THE huge “Park of Culture and Rest” in Moscow is run by a young, attractive Russian girl, Betty Gian.

Krupskaya, Lenin’s widow, is the tireless foe of illiteracy. Through her efforts Russia is organized with the slogan, “We will teach everybody to read and write by 1933!” No woman holds a position of supreme importance in the Communist party, for no woman belongs to the Supreme Economic Council. But many a local Soviet has a woman head. The young Komsomol girls are new women of Russia. They are switched to various jobs, for their enthusiasm for the Five-Year Plan is worth much to their government. Each individual in Russia, man or woman, stands on his own merits as a person. Wives of prominent Communists get no reflected glory. u a A RECENT book on Stalin described him as an oriental who kept his beautiful young wife in the virtual confines of a harem. I asked the press department for an interview with her. The undersecretary looked perplexed. “Mrs. Stalen?” he queried. “Why an interview with Mrs. Stalin?” I explained our inordinate Interest in all our Mrs. Hoovers, our Mrs. Coolidges. “But Mrs. Stalin is a private citizen,” he answered. “The government can make no appointments for private citizens. Why don’t you just phone her if you want to see her. There is a phone in her name.” I did. She was in the Crimea with him on vacation. But I found that Nadya Aluluieva, which is her name, leaves the Kremlin every morning, takes the crowded street car just like any other Moscow woman, and goes to an institute where she is studying to be a chemical engineer, to work in the 1 factories that manufacture artificial silk. Stalin’s wife was bom in 1902, has been married to Stalin eleven years, has one girl and one boy by him, and herself is only six years younger than Yaskov, Stalin’s son by his first wife. n ti a THERE are no “weak women” in Russia, seemingly. When any one arrived or left our apartment, which was on the fourth floorwalk up—it was Sascha, our slender little maid, who insisted on carrying all the luggage. On a co-operative farm I passed a huge concrete building that was being constructed entirely by women laborers. They were putting up the walls, laying floors, putting in windows, doing the plumbing. Their men folks were out in the fields doing farm work with the new modem machinery the cooperative had bought from abroad. In Moscow when new concrete streets are laid, it is women who do the heaviest work. You see women bricklayers working high on the fourth or fifth stories of new buildings. In athletic contests the equality of women also is shown. At the "Park of Culture and Rest” I saw a group of German sailors playing volley ball with a team of Russian workers. On the Russian team were two girls. * n * NEXT: Marriage and dhroroe in Soviet Russia . . . One is as easy as the other, and each a matter of only a few minutes, with no ques-
