Rule (By a Soviet Miner Correspondent) DONETZ BASIN, USSR.—I am going to tell you about how our Donbas miners live and work. I am a miner, I was born here in The life in Gorlovka befoe the revolution is very vivid to me. I remember our dirty cabins, our poverty and ignorance, In tsarist times the workers had no part in the management of their factories as we have now. The revolution came and did away with bosses, masters, and generals of White Guads, such as Denikin and Krasnoves. Workers began to rebuild their country. By PAUL LUTTINGER, MD. VI.—Smoking-Clothes Among the “lesser” evils which beset many, the above two need spe- cial consideration. There are, it is said, many who do not smoke at all. The writer, who is cess. There are, of course, good and sundry “reasons” for this state of affairs. A cigarette seems to drive away the pangs of hunger, warms you in the winter time, calms the nerves during a debate, after or before a fight; shortens the two- hour interval between the scheduled time for the meeting and the actual opening of the same. The cigarette gives you a pose, keeps the mouth Dector Advises: there is not much to say. We are not referring, of course, to the sar- torial side of clothing. There is no medical reason why workers should either dress stylishly or slovenly, ex- cept perhaps from the psychological point of view, A well-dressed person, especially the female of the species, ng them furiously as be- | Siening uP the Mons ey won't get| Ve ‘en said, “Suppose we can’t’ them they will be cut off the rolls.”| Gorlovka.

From the stricter medical point of view, clothes have to be adequate. The habit of workers to go without coats or sweaters in the winter time may be a fine gesture of radiant health, or the dire necessity of an empty purse.

Great changes have taken place in Gorlovka during the last few years. The population increased seven times, The neglected, dusty and dirty workers’ settlement in the past Gorlevka appears as a large industrial town now. Tons of kilometers of water supply pipe has been laid, streets are paved, the nicotine which does most of the harm; although it has a selective ef- fect on the heart; but there are other substances produced in the burning of tobacco (if it is tobacco that we are smoking) which seem to do most of the harm. The condition may be likened to that of drinking bad whiskey, where the fusel oil does greater damage than the alcohol among’ other curious abberations of the human brain.
