GREAT SUFFERING INRUSSIAN PARTS Districts Away From Mdscow Are Hardest Hit Bulzran, on the Volga, May 5.—(By Assocjated Press,)—Five hundred miles from Moscow and at the border of the famine belt, it hecomes evident that the first year of Soviet Russia's new economic policy has made far less changes in the provinces than in Moscow, Petrograd and the other big cities, Far removed from the seaports,con- nected with the manufacturing dis- tricts by a broker transport system overloaded with the shipments of food and seed grain to the worst stricken hunger regions, large provingial towns such as Buizran have, naturally, bene- fited very little by the present free- dom of trade. Are Not Starving. They are not starving, as the prov- inces farther down'the Volga, but, at this time of the year, with the next harvest some months off, they are liv- ing day to day from hand to mouth. Markets are open, but display scanty stocks and at prices as high or higher than in Moscow, while the peasants and town dwellers have not the abundance of paper money which seems common to all in the cities. Be- sides, they are slower to think and spend in millions and seem reluctant- Iy to part with the printed bits of paper which Muscovites spend freely today in the belief that they will buy less tomorrow. Stares Are Closed In the principal street of Sulzrah, which has more than 40,000 inhabi- tants, the correspondent counted less than 10 open stores in a mile's ride. Theré were three or four bakeries, displaying meager stocks of pastries and black and white bread, a meat shop or two, and some others had in their grimy windows a few pitiful bits of feminine finery doubtless of a pre- war vintage. Most of the buildings were empty, their boarded or broken windows speaking the desolation of seven years of war and revolution that shows much more plainly in the prov- inces than in newly resurrected Mos- cow. Town May Prosper. ‘When the Volga opens in the spring some of Suizran's shop windows may be filled again, and if the coming har- vest is normal, the town may lose its air of depression, but, as it stands to- day, it seems an example of the deso- late provincial tow of the better class that dot Russia from Vladivos- tok to Petrograd and from Archangel to Odessa.

RELIGION DISPLAYED Toledo, O., Church Has Distinction of Having First Window Which Shows a Message to the Street. Toledo, O., May 5.—A church win- dow which is said to have the dis- tinction of being the first one in this country installed excluysively for dis- play to the street has been installed in the First Westminster church of this city. The church has provided a special lighting system to illuminate the win- dow from within. A few church win- dows elsewhere are thus illuminated, it is said, but these show from with- in, whereas this window is seen only from the street. The window which shows Christ preaching to the multitude contains many figures and will carry its mes- sage visually seven nights in the week to passersby. The window is hand painted, where- as the background in most church windows is worked out with small pieces of stained glass.

Provement in Rhode Island The need for shorter hours, n min- imum wage, and hetter working con- ditions for women are emphasized in a bulletin entitled “Women {n Rhode Island Industries,” which is soon to he issued by the Women's Bureau of the 0. B. Department of Labor, as a re- sult of a survey made in Rhode Ts- land in the fall of 1920. One of the pertinent facts set forth in the bulletin i, that of a group of 10,352 women employed in 70 rep- presentative stores, factories and laundries in this important industrial statg, almost one-hhlf (46.5 per cent) had a working week of more than 48 hours. Such a statement is of par- ticular interest at this time hecause of recent legislative fallure in Rhode Island to enact the 48-hour week bill after its passage in the House. Fortu- nately, certain firms included in the survey had proved themselves more progressive than the state law, by adopting a schedule of 48 hours a week or less for women employed in their plants. The importance of protecting wom- en workers in Rhode Island is appar- ent from certain facts quoted in the bulletin. About one-third of the fe- males over ten years of age in the state were gainfully employed, a larger portion than in the nelghbor- ing states of Massachusetts, Connec- ticut and New Yerk. Two-thirds of all the girls between 16 and 20 years of age in the state were wage-earners. Furthermore, about one-fourth of the women of the survey who reported on conjugal conditions were married, widowed or divorced. The bulletin points out what some legislators and employers fail to realize, that “the burden of women wage: earners is likely to be double— that of bread-maker as well as bread- winner—since they perform not only their industrial jobs outside the home, but household duties besides, fre- quently doing the cooking, cleaning, washing, ironing, sewing, gnd caring for the family before and after their regular working hours. When these hours are unduly long the women are unable to do justice to the job, to the home, or to themselves, but driven by economic necessity they must struggle along under their burdens. If the energies and health of women, who are the mothers and future mothers of the race are broken down, then the strength and efficiency of the nation are weakened, for America will be as strong as her women. ‘Would Improve Conditions. Another essential step for the safe- guarding of women wage earners in Rhode Island, discussed at length in the bulletin is the improvement of working conditions in the various in- dustries iemploying women. Despite the commendable efforts of some em- ployers to look after the weltare of their employes, the health of a num- ber of women workers in certain es- tablishments was reported to he en- dangered. The strain of standing all day without a chair in sight, or of facing a bad glare at work, the haz- ard of operating an unguarded ma- chine, or of working near an unpro- tected belt, the risk of using the common drinking cup and common towel, the discomfort of being obliged to lie when ill on the concrete floor of a toilet room and of having wraps stolen or ruined, for lack of proper service facilities, are all circumstances not only avoidable, but inexcusable. Nevertheless, these conditions were found in Rhode Island plants, some with disturbing frequency. Store Girls Underpaid. The wage figures reported in the bulletin, which were taken at the highest peak ever reached in the state, have already lost some of their signi- ficance since they are an index of the crest of wages and not of the present downward trend. Although the med- ium earnings of women surveyed in Rhode Island in the fall of 1920 were $16.85 that, is half earning less than and half more than this amount, such wages swere due largely to the rub- ber, metal and electrical establish- ments which were paying unusually good rates and which employed a large proportion of the women of the survey. Textile mills were not includ- ed. Women in the H-and-10-cent stores were the lowest paid group; one-half of them received less than $11.90 weekly, while more than one- fourth earned less than $10 a weeN. the* medium weekly earning for women in paper box manufacturing, indries and department stores were somewhat higher—$12.30, $12.45, and $13.20 respectively. Only 6.2 per cent of the women in department stores earned $20.00 or more a week as compared with over one-half of the®*women in rubber establishments, over one-third of those im metal shops and over one-fourth of those in elec- trical manufacturing. Yearly earnings are more significant than weekly earnings since they show what the wage-earners actually get after weathering industrial vicissi- tudes. Among 617 women, a picked group of steady, experienced work- ers, none received as much as” $1,800 a year and only one-fourth received between $1,000 and $1,800, None of the women in stores and laundries earned as much as $1,200 a year, only 4 per cent in stores and 5.9 yer cent in laundries recelving between $1,000 and $1,200, THEFT OF TEN CIGARETTES MAY MEAN 50 YEARS IN JAIL New York, May 5.—If Frank Lynch of 1724 Amsterdam avenue is con- victed of charges against him in con- nection with the theft of a haif pack of cigarettes he may be sent to prison for fifty years——five years for each of the ten smokes in the pack He pleaded not guilty yesterday be fore Judge Crain in General Sessions to assault, grand larceny and crimi- nally receiving stolen goods, all in the first degree.

The measure is opposed on the ground that no physician is suffi clently infallible to #e able to state that a case is hopeless beyond recov- ery. Confirmed opponents of all changes in the French divorce laws are draw- ing distressing pictures of the ‘in- curable” patient recovering and re. turning to the bosom of his family to find his wife married again. Andre Tardieu, one of the authors of the bill, was a member of the last cabinet of Premier Clemenceau and was French high commisgsioner in America during the world war. Insanity was a ground for divorce in France 100 years ago. In Ger- many, Switzerland and other coun- tries it 1is considered legitimate grounds for divorce although the laws vary in important particulars in each Admitted Miss Gertrude Baer, Berlin, will make a two-months tour of America to speak for the Women's Interna- tional League for Peace.
