One afternoon at 6:30, I was half starved. I walked into the hotfl dining room and found a table right In tho middle of a hundred tea parties.
It was the regular hotel dining room and It was time for dinner, I felt. So, although the proper thing wasn't what I did, I sat down in the dining room and ordered a big steak with mashed potatoes. CHILE'S MP GOLF By JOHN D. MONTGOMERY I asked an American friend who was preparing to go back to the States if he regreted leaving Chile. He answered that he did, saying that he never enjoyed a city as much as Santiago and that he hated to leave "This three dollar golf." He explained that his dues at the Prince of Wales Country New Work Representing One of Most Ambitious Undertakings in Russia Since Revolution Is Nearing Completion Chile has compulsory Barings law.
Employes who have steady positions have five per cent of each pay check deducted and the employer adds an equal sum which is deposited in the national Bank where It draws regular savings interest. The day laborer has two per cent held back and the employer adds three per cent of the pay check and deposits it at the bank. Native Chileans can draw out their savings when they reach 50., Foreigners cannot draw out their money until one year after they leave the country. The effort which is being made to adapt even science and general knowledge of the needs and desires of the new rulers of this country, the working class, was shown In the initial stages of the preparation of the Encyclopaedia. Frof.
Meshcheryakov declared that his prime objective was to bring this great work within the vocabulary and cultural interest of the proletariat. A selected list of 300 representative working men and women, drawn from factories, office, even from among unemployed. Including Communists and non-Communists, was invited to a meeting. There the editors of the encyclopaedia explained the problems which must be solved. A booklet containing several score sample articles for the projected encyclopaedia was given to each Food Is very Inexpensive in San- tiago.
For less than a dollar, at the best hotel, one can have a fina dinner of several courses including steak, hot asparagus and pie that is delicious. By EUGENE LYONS (United Press rftatT Correspondent.) MOSCOW, (UP) One of the most ambitious undertakings since the revolution, the compilation of a "small Soviet Encyclopedia" nearly finished. This may not sound very exciting to the layman, but the task of the 300. They were asked to read it carefully and to criticize it. On the basis of this mass reaction, they were re-written and resubmitted.
Eventually a pretty clear Idea was obtained as to what A man who "means well" or Is a "titular leader" never has public monuments erected to his Getting accustomed to the Latin American system of eating has been a trial. In the morning, a light breakfast is served; at noon, Chileans have a real breakfast We kmow more about the sum 93,000,000 miles away amounted to a complete revision and re-statement of all human an encyclopaedia for the working class should be like. knowledge from the new viewpoint of the Soviets. The Com than the earth 9 miles underfoot munist interpretation of practically all branches of science, history and art Is so different from the accepted versions that the preparation of an eneylopedia involved the rewriting of nearly all accumulated knowledge. The adjective small Is Intended merely to distinguish the work from the monumental 90-volume "big" Soviet Encyclopaedia which will not be finished for many years.

Its completion, in 1E29. made it the loftiest structure of Its kind in the world, and Its Nine Volumes The small work will be nine volumes of nearly 1,000 large closely printed pages each.
The first seven volumes are already in use, the eighth is being prepared for the press. The whole encyclopaedia will be completed in a few months. The vastness of the job and the variety of problems It placed before the learned Russians who aro doing the work were indicated in an interview with the editor-in-chief. Prof. Nikolai L.
Meshcherya-kov. One of the most erudite of Russians, he possesses also an obvious talent for organization. "We could get no help or guidance from exiting encyclopaedias," Prof. Meshcheryakov said. "Even the general plan of pre-revolutionary Russian works of this type could do us no good.
Every word, every scientific and historical fact, had to be judged and stated anew. The simplest item of knowledge had to be freed from its habitual bourgeois wrappings and displayed from the proletarian standpoint." Deliberate Falsehoods Ho showed specific examples of this statement. For instance, In Russian history, the standard description and explanation of facts seems in Soiet eyes a deliberate falsehood. The story had to be retold from the angle of the Russian masses and the other nationalities here rather than the angle of czars and wars. The very word "Russia" Is accorded only a few times in the encyclopaedia.
From the Soviet viewpoint it was a misnomer, since the country contained many and numerous other races. Much space, however. Is given to "Russian Empire," with the stress on the Rus- FEWER MARRIAGES WHEN LITTLE girls wore copper-toed boots and tight-waisted dresses, and little boys wore kilts what of the babies? Swathed in yards of clothes. Scrubbed with unknown soaps. Few of them expected to live through the dreaded second summer.
Many of them suffering countless ailments because nobody knew what to do. A glance back only a generation or so is enough to reveal how fortunate babies are today. Now there are soft, cool soaps every aid in food that care and knowledge can prepare sensible, light little clothes and such knowledge of sanitation and control of disease that every little baby should live and grow. Mothers are indebted to advertisem*nts for their news of these nursery aids just as they are indebted for news of fascinating menus, fadeless curtains, sprightly dinnerware. Constantly, ways are being devised to make life happier, more comfortable for baby, the whole family.
Laboratories clean and bright are scenes of goods being tested being made safe and pure. When the testing is over, the perfecting is done advertisem*nts hasten the. goods, to you. No longer marvel (the next time you buy something widely known) at how fresh, immaculate, fine it is. These are; qualities you can be sure of in buying advertised merchandise qualities you mtcst be sure of in buying for the health of babies, children, any one.

Reports of Town Clerk Louis Schiller, show 238 were married here in 1929, but then a law was passed compelling Schiller to make public marriage statistics and the figure dropped to. 157 for 1930.
