TRAGEDY OF RUSSIA IS SCHOOL SYSTEM FAILURE, SAYS WRITER CBy Associated Tress) MOSCOW, Jan. 28 The virtual breakdown of Russia's school system is one of the tragedies of the general economic situation. Outside of this cjty, in the dozens of smaller places where the correspondent traveled, the poverty of both teachers and pupils is appalling. Those in the United States who got their education by tramping for miles through the snows to the little red schoolhouse were far better off than the eager students of this land. "How can I teach?" asked a woman teacher in Samara. "I have barely enough clothes to cover my body, I sleep in a cold room and I have next to nothing to eat. For months my salary has not been paid. I keep life to gether by trading in the public market, selling goods on commission. Nor can I expect the children to learn. They come to school hungry, poorly clad, and, as the rooms are cold, we go through the motions of learning, that is all. They haven't any books, there is no chalk for the blackboard. The discipline goes, to pieces." ENJOY PROSPERITY ( By Associated Press) TOLEDO, Ohio. Jan. 28.

RATS, MICE MIGRATE FROM FAMINE AREA; CATS USED FOR FOOD

(By Associated Press) BUDAPEST, Jan. 28. Rats and mice are migrating in swarms from the Russian famine area, and Budapest is now overrun with them. All efforts to rid (he city of this scourge have failed and the devastation caused by them goes on apace. Tho market halls, food stores and warehouses are swarming with the rodents, which run about even in tho daytime. So dangerous have they become that when disturbed they will turn and show fight. Several merchants have been recently bitten. The situation is aggravated by the dearth of cats in Hungary. During the war, when food was scarce, thousands of families ate their cats. Since then the increasing demand for cat fur 'as a cheap substitute for expensive furs, has taken a further toll. As a consequence, the comparatively exor bitant price of 3,000 to 4,000 kronan is being offered for a kitten by shopkeepers. . In some villages tie peasants hav given up poultry raising and have turned to the more lucrative business of cat breeding.

Everyday Ad-Ventures After you've decided that desk drawers are no safe place for your money, office records and valuable papers And you're afraid that the "Broken Door" instead of "Open Door" policy is liable to be adopted any night by some thief And you know that if you'd lose your records and papers you'd have to go back ten years and start all over again, and furthermore, your present financial condition would not be strengthened by the loss of the fifty or seventy-five dollars you sometimes leave in your desk But just the same you haven't become reconciled to the thought of paying out a half hundred or even less for a private safe which would put an end to all your troubles Until one evening while at home reading the "Business and Office Equipment" column of The Palladium's classified section you Bee that a certain office furniture store owner is selling small safes at a very reasonable figure And the next day you take a few loose tens and fives and purchase one and from then on lock up your worries when you leave the office Oh.
