Economy Dictates Fashions in Russia Short Skirts, We Worn Despite The Cold, Save Millions of Yards ds of Goods Moscow. --It seems that Joseph Sta- or any of their co-dictators in the world of fashion, declares Henry 'Wales, correspondent of The Chicago Tribune, in an article, The girls in Russia are still wearing the short skirts of a couple of years ago, and the prospects of getting into style with the long ones that Paris decrees are mighty slim. The statisticians in the economic branch of the textile Industry esti- mate they save a couple of hundred million yards of material a year by keeping the girls in knee-length dress- es, so the standard robes manufac- tured for the feminine members of the proletariat are keeping the skirts high. A few years ago, when the short- skirt fad came, none expected the Rus- sian flapper to adopt it, because tt left #80 much leg to be bitten by the chill Winter breezes, and Winter lasts for eight months a year here. But young women and old women responded heroically to the demands of Mme, Fashion, and are now stuck with frost- bitten limbs for an indefinite period. Wear Felt Snow Boots They overcome the difficulty as far as possible--about half way to the knee--by wearing felt snow boots, but that leaves an exposed zone, which necessitates wearing Winter under- wear beneath the wood-fibre silk stock- No cosmetics or "make-up," either. The further east one goes the less lip- stick and rouge and eyebrow pencil is discernible. In Germany only the girls who are considered too flapperish use make-up, while in Poland many girls discard paint and powder, In Russia they all relinquish it, ex- cept a few actresses and some of the youthful merabers of the foreign im- perial ballet and the foreign girls. The principal reason iS the difficulty Race of Pygmies Fast Dying Out Explorer Visits | Po Tribe in Jungle, Wi x i of Se fois Evite Osi in an Amazonian jungle never be- on visited by white men, Dr. Wil Ham Montgomery McGovern, of fhe Uni y of Lond found the remnant of a pygmy race which, he believes, somehow reached South America long before the earliest In- dians wandered out of Asia into Alas- ka over the old land-bridge. Being a scientific explorer, the tropics did not tuffihis head; instead of romane- ing, as Sir Walter Raleigh did, he noted naked facts, and the facts de- bunk the tales most tropical travel ers tell--about white Indians, canni- bals, El Dorados and so on. Up the Amazon, Rio Negro and Papurl for more than 2,000 miles, says "The Los Angeles Times," Mc- Govern journeyed, first in an old fashioned river boat and then in dug- outs obtained from different tribes, Wearing accounts of a dark,- dirty, despised, dwarfish people called Pogsas. A people, he was told by a wise old chief, who had no settled abodes, wandered in small bands through the wilds, had no dugouts, and took to their heels at sight of even a jungle Indian, Small and Incredibly Ugly Accompanied by five friendly Des- ano tribesmen, McGovern undertook a surprise visit to a band of Pogsas. Unless surprised, they would run away. After filing for hours through a tangle of vines "that hung from every tree," he says, "at last we came to a little clearing in the for- est, which had -obviously been made by human hands. , . . A general squealing and wailing went up when the Pogsas became aware of our surprise visit; but eventually they were made to understand that my in- tentions were friendly, and they set- tled down enough to allow me to observe something of their appear- ance and custom They were mall and ineredi- in obtaining cosmetics. They are about the last thing the Soviet Gov- ernment will import. All its foreign eredits are used for buying machinery,' and such unimaginative raw materials as cotton, rubber and tea. Even the five-year plan doesn't pro- vide any remedy for the lip-stick short- age, nor any substitute for imported face powder or perfume. Some local beautifier makes a native pencil for rouging lips which is so near red wax that it leaves sticky smudges when | applied by even the most expert. Then the indigenous face powder lacks | some secret ingredient, so that it clots | up like flour in a pan when the rosy | dheeks are exposed to the bloodquick-! ening effects of wintry weather.

'What they had to laugh about would hardly seem funny to white people." The Pogsas proved the "promisc- nity theory" of many anthropologists wrong, for monogamy prevailed. Young men did their mate hunting outside the ground to which they be- longed, but dared not aspire te an Indian bride, "for the Indians look upon Pogsas as completely animal." Unlike Indians with their Mon- gollan heads, "the Pogsas had thin, tapering faces and markedly long like the primitive skulls dug up in Patagonia," lending support to the theory that they belong to a pre- { Indian race, Where Evolution Stands Still Despite the proud stupid Indian's opinion to the contrary, the Pogsas belong to the human species; this relationship is proved every time a Pogsas woman gives birth to a half- Indian papoose, for only embers of the same specie can interbreed. Be- longing to the human species, Pogsas originated in the common Eden of the races, then followed the tailed into this lotus land where evolution stands still, Like the pouched mam- mals of Australia, they remain as they were when they came. The Indians, according to Dr. Me- Govern, moved southward from North America over the Panama land-bridge in two migratory waves; one wave, moving along the west coast, created the Inca culture, the other, moving around the east coast, spread west- ward along the rivers to the foothills of the Andes. Both migrations, he contends, encountered a more priml- tive pygmy-like people, whom they wiped out save that remnants of that pre-Indian race still persist as Pogsas In time the wiping-out process will be complete, 'because the Indians are still using poisoned arrows on the little wild men of the woods. pil .

Remember, the birds are not attracted either by the beauty nor uniqueness of a hird- house. Nature intended certain species to nest In holes in dead trees, The woodlands with natural homes for their birds are disappear- ing. The «birds are forced to ac- cept anything similar as a sul Nothing could be a better subs than a piece of a hollow limb. is closed at top and bottom with a piece of wood or tin, a hole bored In the limb--about one-third the way down from the top, so that the birds can get in and out--there is no finer bird-house to be found. Many peo- ple make the mistake of putting the entrance hole of the bird-house too near the bottom. I have seen many beautifully-made and expensiva bird- houses which I would not have taken as a gift because they did not serve tute the 'purpose for which they were | made--té attract the birds--as the en- trance was not in the place that the! _ { birds like to have it. The feathered | people like to put in plenty of nest- ling materigl in the hottom of their nests. They do not want cold, damp air blowing in on their nestlings. These are the two main reasons why the hole should be nearer the top than the bottom, - One can hang Dbird-houses from a | limb or nail them to a stump or tree. Never put them too low or where they will be easy for a cat to reach. Some people say that the wrens will not take a mesting-box that is placed very high, but I have seen that theory exploded. I placed a bird-house, made from a piece of old apple bough, under the eaves of the farm- house about twelve feet above the ground, For the last three sum- mers that house has been the home of two and three broods each summer. It is always popular; sometimes the bluebirds get possession of it and sometimes the wrens. We always know .when it is occupied, for it is outside of a bedroom window and the baby bird are better than an alarm clock; they begin their noisy twittering at dawn. Some of the least expensive, most easily made and most frequently oc- cupied bird-houses I have had have been made from the little, wooden boxes that laundry blue or cheese comes in. Ask your grocer to save them for you. They are just the | right size for wrens and bluebirds. | Fasten the cover securely. Make on opening about one-third the way down from the top. For bluebirds, the opening should be about the size of a fifty-cent piece; for wrens about the size of a quarter. Place your | improvised bird-box on a post or tree, and if there are any wrens or blue- birds in your neighborhood you will soon have tenants who will amply pay their rent by helping to keep your yard or garden free from insect pests. These bird-houses may be made to look more attractive by being given a coat of paint or stain. But as the birds do not like the fresh paint, it is best to paint them in the fall, so that by spring the odor of the paint will have subsided. ' Robins and phoebes will nest on little shelves about a foot down from your roof, or under the porch roof. The number of birds that will nest in houses is comparatively few. There are many other birds who seem to enjoy human companionship and will gladly nest near your home if you but help to furnish the required nest- ing-sites. Their trusting ways and joyous songs will gladden your door- yard. Any king of thick shrubbery, such a8 lilac, syrinka, Snowball, or privet will attract such birds as catbirds, song sparrows, chipping sparrows, and even robins. If the bushes are pruned, so that in places the branches form forks, they make fine places for the birds to securely place their nests, - The birds seem to love old trees. Of course, orioles, bluebirds and yob- ins often build in old orchards. But we have an old maple on our front lawn which had heen struck by lightning. Then the wind damaged it and there was very "little left of If it it. My husband, thinking that it was rather unsightly, and of very little use as a shade tree, wanted to have it cut down. I have such a feel- ing of kinship with the trees that I hate to see them laid low, * Se we {let it stand another summer, That mmer a robin built in a hollow place high up in the tree (a very un- usual place for a robin to build). An oriole built out on the only de- cent-sized limb that was left. Then a wood pewee made a dear, little toy nest on another branch. Three bird families carrying on their domes- ticity, peacefully and happily, at the same time. To be sure, Mr. Robin, who was there first, disput:d Mr. Oriole's right when he first came. There were a few hot encounters; then quiet settled down and Mr. R and Mr. O joined forces and desper- ately fought together against any in- vader of their common home, They had never objected to little pewee and he, too, always came valiantly forth to join the two larger birds against the common enemy.
