—The New Russia, No. 5 ‘HOME' MEANS ONE ROOM IN SOVIETJiUSSIA Families Live in Flats, Sharing One Wash Sink, One Bathroom. BY JULIA BLANBHARD Staff Writer for NEA Service and The Times, Sent to Soviet Russia Especially for This Series. (Copyright. 1931. NEA Service. Inc.) If you kept house in Russia— You would find that you consume more time and get less done than you would in any other country in the world. You could not step to the corner chain store and order a list of staples to be delivered. You could not phone your butcher for meat and vegetables. You would have to go in person for everything, bring it home yourself and often have to wait in queue for hours to buy milk, potatoes, fresh fish and the like. Moreover, there might be nothing left that you wanted by the time your turn comes. In September I saw the first truckload of frankfurters delivered that Moscow had seen in over a year. Before the man had halfunloaded the truck there was a ■waiting line of buyers 1 two and a half blocks long. Machines to Get More Where you live, what you would eat and the amount of food and clothes you are able to buy would all depend on the kind of work you or your husband did. For Russia, short of practically all staples and hampered by inadequate distribution methods, rations essentials and issues food cards to workers, according to their relative value to Soviet society. You would find it an advantage to be married to an expert machinist rather than a bank president. Machinists are in the “first category’’ of government food cards. They are allowed the largest rations of meat, fats, sugar and bread. If you are a statistician or other brain worker, you will rate only a “fourth category’’ food card. Moscow has no streets of private homes. Apartments are everywhere, big stone apartments built on the edge of the sidewalk with no lawn or trees in front, but usually with huge courts between them. If you lived in Moscow, you would live in one of these apartment houses and would climb to your floor with no thought of an elevator. And you would be lucky if you had more than one room. But your rent would be low, for rents are levied for a small percentage of your salary, regardless of rooms or location. You would have electricity and running cold water. You would have furnace heat or a big, built-in Russian wood stove. You would have no vacuum cleaner, or even a modern broom. You probably would use a Russian broom, made of twigs tied to a handle. If you were an engineer’s wife and held down a job yourself, your family might live much as do Ossip Ivanov Palovlich and his lawyer wife, Nina Petrova.

Each Has Own Signal They, their two children and Nastya, the peasant girl maid, live in two rooms of a second floor nineroom apartment that used to belong to a doctor and his wife. Ossip and Nina are the only family in the apartment that has two rooms! The other seven have one room apiece for the whole family. There is one bathroom, one toilet, one wash sink in the apartment for twenty-two persons. Sometimes a queue waits in line for the toilet. Eight women cook meals in one kitchen, where in winter a big range facilitates matters. In summer each •woman has one or two primus stoves (portable one-burner kerosene lamps) on which the majority of Russian women cook. You ring the bell four short rings when you go to see Nina and Ossip. Each family has its own signal. If you were an American woman married to a Russia citizen, you would live as these women live. In Moscow I met a slight, delicate woman I had known in America, now the wife of a Russian Communist. When I had seen her before she owned the last word in Paris clothes. In Moscow she wore a plain blue jersey suit, none too new, a beret and sturdy oxfords. She wore no make-up and had her lovely, shiny, long black hair cropped. Next —Fashions in Soviet Russia. . .

BLIND MAN FIGHTS TO RECLAIM HOME

Staging 'Public Benefit’ at Tomlinson Hall to Gain Goal. Misfortune may back Thomas P. McGraw, blind news vendor, against a wall, but he merely will kick a hole in that wall and crawl out on the other side. Through the twenty years McGraw has been selling papers on downtown streets, he has defied adversity and affliction. With extra pennies, earned now and then, he has been paying for a home of his own. When hard times came along, he lost his home through a mortgage foreclosure. Pennies were hard to get and he couldn’t pay the S9OO due on his home at 1338 West Thirty-third street. It looked like a future of poverty and probably the poor farm. But Thomas P. McGraw wasn’t going to be licked after years of pinching. He conceived the idea of staging a “public benefit” dance at Tomlinson hall, the proceeds to be used to reclaim his own home. Many friends and admirers were

Tickets for the festival have been printed and are in the hands of the Cathedral high school boys and officers in the police traffic department. “This will be the ‘dance of dances,’ ” McGraw said today. “It just goes to show what a man’s friends can do.” Hoosier in War Zone By Times Special WASHINGTON, Ind., Nov. 10.— Among the United States army officers on duty in China guarding property during the strife with Japan, is Captain Don Faith, son of Mr. and Mrs. Ed Faith of Washington.

VANGUARD OF NEXT CONGRESS IN WASHINGTON Norris Brings Proposal for Three Biilion-Dollar Bond Issue for Road Building. BY PAUL R. MALLON United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Nov. 10.—The factions of congress are gathering for the fray. The independent Republican leader. Senator George W. Norris of Nebraska, has returned for the opening of the session next month, advocating a $3,000,000,000 federal bond issue to build roads for unemployment relief. Democratic leaders are assembling preparatory to calling a conference of their house and senate groups a week before the session opens, Dec. 7. Their plan is to formulate a program of legislation to be advocated by their majority in the house, and their minority in the senate. Some of the dismayed Republican leaders already are on the ground and Republican Floor Leader Watson of the senate is expected before the end of the week. Hoover Drafting Message Meanwhile, President Hoover has begun work on his annual message concerning the state of the Union. It will be sent to a hostile house and a deadlocked senate a month from today. His associates say he is planning to appeal for nonpartitisanship in the handling of legislation, and all factions agree if there is to be any legislation it will have to be nonpartisan. With Democrats running the house, independent Republicans and Democrats in a shaky saddle of the senate, and Hoover wielding vetoes in the White House, there is little prospect that anything will be approved unless it bears the approval of all the factions. Democrats here say they are preparing to assume seriously their new responsibility of house control. If they organize with their majority of two votes, they will have charge of the origination of all bills carrying government appropriations. Program to Be Shaped Their joint conference here a week before the session opens is expected to consider the formulation of a definite program on appropriations topics which will come before congress—including farm relief and continuance of the farm board, tax increases, governmental economies, the naval building program and unemployment relief measures. The independents also probably will have a pre-session meeting to formulate their legislative program. It is expected to center upon the bond issue proposal by Norris. The Nebraskan believes the federal government should waive the requirement of a 50 per cent contribution from the states for road building, and go into construction itself. He suggests raising funds to pay off the bonds in ten, fifteen or twenty years by increasing taxes on large incomes and inheritances.

MOELLER SURRENDERS ON LOTTERY CHARGE Alleged Aid of John Krause to Be Tried Nov. 18. Wayne Moeller, said by police to be a business associate of John Krause, alleged lottery king, surrendered Monday to police to face charges of keeping a gaming house, operating a lottery and vagrancy, as outgrowth of a raid last week on Krause’s alleged headquarters at 107 South Capitol avenue. Krause also is wanted for alleged ownership of several hundred thousand lottery tickets, which police said they confiscated in the raid. Moeller will be tried Nov. 18 in criminal municipal court with Charles Sweeney and Charles Hart, who were in charge of the alleged headquarters at the time of the raid.

GOOSSENS MAKES BIG IMPRESSION HERE Nan Helperin Flips an Egg Here and There Trying to Make Comedy Biscuits on Stage at the Lyric. BY WALTER D. HICKMAN IT is generally true that anew conductor of a great symphony orchestra can not stamp his ability, ideas and musicianship upon the orchestra for a long time. Not so with Eugene Goossens, who conducted the Cincinnati Symphony through the opening orchestral concert last night of the night series under the management of Mrs. Nancy Martens. Never have I seen anew conductor make so many changes for the better than Goossens. It seemed almost increditable that he could have accomplished so much in such a short time. Goossens did many things last night that I have never seen a con-

ductor do on the conducting stand. He seemed to be a part of the orchestra, just one man relying upon every member of the orchestra to do his best. During several big ovations, he turned his back on the audience, brought the members of the orchestra to their feet and permitted them to share all the applause. In the Mozart symphony in C major, “Jupiter,” he so managed his desk that no applause interferred with the various movements. The same was true with Debussy's “Images" for orchestra. No. 2 “Iberia,” and we were able to get the three groups as one beautifully played fabric. Never have I heard the Cincinnati symphony play better than in “Images,” and that was due to the magnetic and intelligent direction of Goossens as well as the individual work of every man in the orchestra. The Tone Poem, “Till Eulenspiegel,” by Richard Strauss, was done so expertly and with so much musical color that Goossens and the orchestra was accorded the greatest ovation ever given this orchestra here. Here is a conductor of great power and common sense who allows the men to share in the glories of a great ovation. And the Cincinnati Symphony is a better playing group than ever before. It was a great and a brilliant audience which Mrs. Martens assembled last night for a great musical event. n n n NAN HALPERIN MAKES COMEDY BISCUITS Did you ever hear of comedy comedy biscuits?

This is a nifty done in the best style of Nan Halperin. I have seen the old timers in "Youngsters of Yesterday” many times on the stage. The youngest is 62 and the oldest 86 and the man who is the oldest still slings a nasty hoof when it comes to dancing. Eddie Stanley goes in for some jesting and presents a girl who sings. James Evans is a splendid foot juggler. Turner brothers dance along acrobatic lines. Alexander and Peggy offer “Dark Town Folks,” which is rather mild in character.
