" . Perhaps the most interesting move

is: headed by J. A. H. Hopkins of New

This committee expects to present

Leaders In this labor party movement
Include Duncan McDonald, president of
the Illinois Federation of Labor t Max
' Hayes of Cleveland, a leader of rtie

to be extended to non-partisan league

t The reactionary bubble came to the
surface In Texas, where ex-Senator Jo.
seph W. Bailey has been howling for
. state -rights and a return to what he
calls "old fashioned Democracy. Bailey
insisted that effort should be directed
toward , "reclaiming' the Democratic
party and. making It the great conserva
I tive party of the nation. He was unable
1 to control the conference which he and
-J his followers bad called, and the result
; was a spilt, the Balleyites proposing to
. operate within the Democratic party and
tue seceaers to organise independently..
EALAXCE IS DISTURBED
.The independents have chosen the
. name "American party" and their com
mittee will proceed.with plans to organ
Ise on national lines on a platform which

, opposition to woman 'suffrage, opposl

Leaders of the old parties declare that
l-tha new party movements will not
' , amount to much. The crusaders will not
seriously disturb the balance between the
old parties, they say, because the people
are going to divide aa usual between the
, two great parties on questions in which
they are most interested, such as the

OH May 9, 10 and 11 there was In 'ses
sion In Moscow, the . first all-Russian
congress on extrascholastic edacatkm.
There were 67t delegates present ; 156
were communists, 70 were soviet sym
pathizers, 200 were, nonpartisans and
the remainder were 1 distributed among
the menahevlks, socialists, revolutionists,

FIBEMEX WORK OVERTIME
In the beginning of May there was
held in Moscow a convention of bacteri
ologists and epldemologlsts. On May 5
the first all-Kussian convention of art
workers met in Moscow. There were
delgates from all the theatres, cinemato
graphs, musical and dramatic schools
and from film and photographic studios.
At about the same time a conference of
physicians was held under the auspices
of the department of the people's nour
ishment and the commissariat of health.
.Representatives of 300,000 unionized
firemen held a Convention In the second
week of May. It appeared that even in
soviet Russia firemen are frequently
compelled to work more thaa eight
hours a day. Between' May 12 and It
there met in Moscow the first conven
tion of chemical workers of the province
of Moscow.
PUBLIC OIIUOJr WlfiE AWAKE
"AU these conventions, and confer
ences show that lif -3 in Russia is not
stagnant and that public opinion is not
petrified, even if there Is no free press
in Russia. The minority parties, such
as the menshevlki and the ' socialist
revolutionists, have many opportunities
to penetrate into powerful institutions
and occupy leading places. If they do
not do so it is because they lack the
support of any large section of the pop
ulation.
There are localities in soviet Russia
where the opposition parties are. carry
in? on their activities openly. Take the
cny of .Tver for Instance. Tver, situated
within 60, miles of Moscow, is a typical
Kusaian city. On April 28 last there
was held in Tver a conference of all
the labor organisations of the city. It
was a sort of municipal parliament.
There were present 400 delegates, the
majority of whom were nonpartisans.
The menshevlsks participated openly in
the elections and sessions of the assem
bly. Their leader, Skhodkin, appealed
to the workers to unite In support of
the Soviets, and explained to the peas
ants that the mistakes of the soviet

the winter the population of the city de
creased considerably.? Then In April of
this year a new soviet was elected. The
Interest was so great that 11.600 votes
were cast. Of the 9T elected soviet of
ficials, SS were communists and 20 soviet
sympathizers. t Ther are only a few
menshevlki and socialist-revolutionists.
A local-newspaper commented as fol
lows on the results of the general elec
tion: : "In spite of hunger, exhaustion, the
rhutting down of factories and the big
mors committed by the local soviet
authorities, the workers unquestionably
stand behind the soviet government,
awaiting their salvation from the Inter
national revolution."

Data Hounds
The data hound is not peculiar to the advertising
business alone. The ancient Greeks spoke of the man
who couldn't see the forest because of the trees. J
. But in the advertising; . business there are many
young meir-it is a business itself not yet old.
These young men do not wish, of course, .to accept -even
the obvious unchallenged.
And sol with the aid of co-tangent and slide-rule, a
great mass of data is compiled to the confusion of the
new advertiser and the amusement of the old.
For, after all, the elements of advertising success are
very simple and very hard. ;
s Make worthy goods, put your name on them and
tell many people about them continually for many
years. For, after all, "psychology" means human
nature, ''potentiality" means human wants,, and
"cumulative effect" means repetition.

Princess Cecile was a wonderful child. She had all the charm that
Russian parentage and French culture could give her. She inherited an
intense hatred for Germany, and then - against her will, she was forced
to marry the German Crown Prince.
What has happened since then is tola1 by one of her closest friends,
