When he honor; and a hundred million peo- ple regard him as their Patron Saint. His Started in Russia the greatest eco- nomic known--an experiment that is bound to have some effect on you and me and almost everyone else in the world. Lenin, was a little, bald-headed, wrinkled man; and when he sat in a chair, his legs were so short that they hardly touched the floor. He didn't care anything at all about his looks; his trousers were usually too long, his nose was slight- ly turned up, he had a squint in one eye and he probably never wore a silk hat or a frock coat in his life. He was happily married, and his wife loved him so much that she re- fused to leave him when he was exiled; exile in order to look after him and care for him. Asa gloomy, seldom played - with 'other children and never took part in ath- letic games. When he grew to be a man, in music or poetry or religion; but he studied law and spoke four lang- uages -- French, German, Russian and English. _ During the great famine of 1891, when millions of poverty - stricken peasants died of starvation, typhus and cholera, Lenin became con- vinced that something radical had to be done. From that time on, he became During the next twenty - five Author of "How to Win Friends and Influence People." -- 5-Minute Biogre phies LENIN His Picture Hangs in Almost Every House in Russia name was Lenin, and he experiment the world has ever so she went with him into child, Lenin was serious and he had no interest whatever a flaming revolutionist, years, he was hounded and driven from one country to another, living at various times in Germany, Aus- France, Poland, Switzerland lived in London, he would often go and sit for hours at a time beside the grave of Karl Marx, the father of Social- ism. He wrote one of his revolutionary books in prison; and. in order to avoid detection, he wrote it in milk instead of ink. The writing could be read only after it was dipped in hot water. He taught his disciples to use invisible ink when they wrote to him. _In November, 1917, Lenin became dictator of Russia and confiscated all private property. The owners of the great estates fled in terror, as the peasants took possession. _ AUussia was almost starving at the time and Lenin refused to take sugar in his tea because other people couldn't have sugar. Although he was the supreme ruler of Russia, he wouldn't permit himself to have even the simplest luxuries. Five years later, he was suffering from hardening of the arteries, and he had a stroke of paralysis. He lost the power of speech, and he had to learn to talk all over again like a child. His right hand was paralyzed so he learned to write with his left hand. For two years, he fought des- perately with death, saying over and over agin, "There is so much work left for me to do." His picture hangs today in almost every house, every factory and every worker's club in all Russia. Millions of people worship him almost as if he were a God. His body now lies embalmed in a glass casket: and probably at this very moment, hundreds of reverent pilgrims are filing by it with uncov- ered heads. Nearly a thousand a day do him this honor.

HUNTER, Manager 78 235 William Street Loa THE STRATFORD MIRROR Page 15 RINCESS ELIZABETH is growing up. She is now in her 'teens -- 13 to be sure. f Recently there has been a big change in her position at the Palace --a change with a policy behind it. Wo longer is she a little girl playing make-believe games with her sister in the garden on fine days and in the nursery when it rains. No longer is she naively solemn when she appear in public. Plans are already being made for her coming-out in three years time. Before then she will be confirmed-- about Easter, 1942. After her coming-out she will be Present at state banquets, undertake important public engagements at- tended by her own ladies-in-waiting and unaccompanied by any other member of the Royal Family. She Isn't Spoiled. The Princess will then have her own tradesmen, her own accounts, her Own income, and she will be address- } ed as "Your Royal Highness," even within the Palace, and not simply as She now is, "Princess." Meanwhile, the King's elder daugh- ter is getting not precocious but sim- Ply grown up. The King and Queen, who saw to it that she was not spoiled or petted as a child, are now seeing that she is given confidence in her- self and opportunities to take the ini- tiative. Princess Elizabeth is being trained in a sense of her responsibilities, but mot of her own importance. All this is shown by definite changes in the Palace routine. The staff now refer to "the school- Wrrincess Flizabeth Prepares For Throne Duty Her Education Is Being Made Thorough For The Day When She May Be Called Upon To Succeed Father or to Relieve Him of Burdens of State. room" and not "the nursery." The Princesses' suite is treated as a sep- arate part of the Palace. Princess Elizabeth has her own sit- ting-room, furnished with a bureau, apart from the rooms she shares with her sister. She has flowers of her own choice, specially delivered to her, to decorate her rooms. Own Footmen, Too She and her sister take their meals in simple state. Two footmen, known as the Princesses' footmen, wait at table. Princess Elizabeth is now a hostess in her own right. Seldom a week passes but she entertains young friends specially invited by herself-- not just the children of friends visit- ing her parents. She now gives small lunch and tea "parties, as well as the annual child- ren's parties of which everyone knows. On these occasions the Princess helps to arrange the menu with the chef (at one time dishes were order- ed by Mrs. Knight, who is in charge of the Princesses' suite). Princess Elizabeth can be trusted to choose suitable food. She is learning tc master the mysteries of internation- al menu language. A list of dishes is sent up to the schoolroom each morning at the same time as a long provisional menu is sent to the Queen. Has Robust Taste. Princess Elizabeth, consulting with her sister, chooses from this a shorter menu in the same way as her mother chooses for the King and herself a short meal--usually about four courses. The Princess's taste in food is sound, in fact robust. It shows a cultivated palate. She likes consomme, macaroni with tomato sauce, grilled lamb chop and vegetables, and farola pudding. A favorite dish is boiled mutton and caper sauce. She also likes stewed rabbit and calves' liver and _ bacon. Steamed puddings, especially small marmalade puddings, are a _ regular choice. When she gives tea parties the Princess chooses the cakes, all home- made in the Palace kitchen, and de- cides the fillings of the sandwiches. At Christmas and birthday anniver- saries, the Princess chooses the pres- ents she gives to relatives and young friends. She also thinks out and writes the greetings which accom- pany them. Her writing is well formed and shows strength of character. Her sig- nature especially shows a well-devel- oped personality. NO APRON STRINGS Another indication of the Princess's emancipation from the nursery is the way her program is compiled. She and her sister work entirely independ- ent of their parents' plans. Nearly every Friday afternoon, for instance, they all go down to Royal Lodge, Windsor, for the week-end. But if the King and Queen are de- layed the Princesses set off as usual in their own retinue. They also have their own bodyguard. Princess Elizabeth has been practis- ing French recently with extra dili- gence so that in talking to the French President and Mme. Lebrun, when they visited London, she was able to converse with them more easily. The Princess is a good mixer. She talks knowledgeably on many _ sub- jects, stops to speak to members of the royal household, and always has something to say to strangers. When she spends a holiday at Wind- sor, Balmoral or Sandringham, one of her pleasures is visiting with the Queen the tenants on the estate. The Princess's growing up has been marked recently by the wearing of more shapely shoes, and abandoning the hair ribbon her younger sister still wears. But the Queen still chooses her clothes. She has decided views and prefers her two daughters to be dress- ed alike as far as color and fabric are concerned, although Princess Eliza- beth wears slightly more grown-up styles. There are already indications that Princess Elizabeth will be in the not too distant future one of the most act- ive members of the Royal Family. A month or two ago she organized the exhibition of dolls presented by the French Government at St. James's Palace, unpacking each exhibit her- self and making all the arrangements, STRATFORD PHONE 662 Fad te Campbell Machiner HEAD OFFICE - IN STRATFORD ....
