Depressed Social Life Is Prevalent in Soviet Russia
Low Salaries and Crowdier Living Quarters Put Amusements on Taboo List
Ka
Moscow, (United Press)—Social life, under the Soviet, is at a very low ebb, particularly in Moscow once the gayest of the gay.
Before the war, the characteristic feature of social life was the famous house-parties of the minor nobility and the middle or rather the upper strata of the middle class gave after the theater. They have passed.
There are two reasons, both good.
One is that there is no room to entertain.
The average number of rooms in a house is four, five and six. The flats have the same number of rooms now, but have practically one family to each
Also, there is no money for entertainment—food, wine, lights or fuel to say nothing of music, etc. True there is employment for most, but the wages and salaries are just $v trifle above existence costs.
For the Rich
Of course, there are occasional evening gatherings, but they are depressed and drab.
Restaurant life is only for the rich or very well-to-do. These include the "Nepmen," members of the get-together class, and the higher class of Soviet employers, called the Soviet Bourgeois, who are not members of the Soviet party, so get higher salaries for expert work, rather than working; they may be in Moscow at the time.
But the public never seems to warm up, either to the people on the stage or to the drink, which is available everywhere. "hard" liquor, everything except "hard" liquor.
The Empire restaurant, one of the very few good ones now operating, does have a 5 o'clock tea dance, and a few of the more courtesane Russians mingle with the foreigners and tourists, who are in serious serpies and their air depressed.
There are many medium-pried coffee houses, where regular meals, wine, beer and 20 per cent fruit liu-ions are served.
These are chiefly frequented by husbands and wives who, both being employed in some institution, prefer to cook instead of cooking them at home.
Too Busy for Pleasure
The Communist leader are too busy to tour the very rarely Trotsky may be seen in the Art Theater, but never in the Opera. Karl Radek frequently visits the beer restaurant of the Communist international on the basement of the Hotel Lux. He always remained inside Kremlin.
The workmen are regularly supplied with free, or cheap, tickets for the剧院, mainly the radical or see-see kind. Socialistic plays are given. Factories buy a whole theater for one evening. Besides this, the workmen have their clubs, where small entertainments, but chiefly lectures, are
Was He Unconscious or Just Plain Dumb?
On the whole, the working-class is economically worse off than before the war, but morally much better.
It was Wednesday after New Years. The thermometer registered many degrees below zero. Snow covered the campus and the wind whistled around the corners. Had any one been near, he might have noticed a solitary student winding his way across campus with his hands in his pockets and caller turned up in a vain effort to protect himself from the biting cold.
He trudged along step by step, and finally arrived at his chair. He sat quietly, with his eyes closed and quiet presided. There was no one there. He came to the conclusion that something was wrong, and he sought enlightenment from a *University office*.
For some unaccountable reason the student had thought that school work began the Wednesday after New Years. He had returned early Tuesday night in order to prepare his lessons for the next day and get to bed early. He had resolved to start the New Year right.
According to the Journal World, either this student didn't read the papers, or his mind had become temporarily incapacitated by the respite from work permitted by the two-week Christmas vacation.

Kansans Like Machinery
Prosperous Kansas Farmers Fail in California
Wichita, Kansas, Jan. 14, (U. P.)—Kansas farmers, who are the most prosperous in the country, almost universally fail when they go to California to engage in agriculture, according to a U.S. survey. The reason for their failure in the state that has a copyright on the use of "climate" in a sales talk is explained by Thurman, who has recently made a study of the condition on the west coast. He says it is due to the fact that Kansas farmers are used to power machinery and horses to aid them in farming. The golden State must be cultivated by hand labor.
In California there is no room for cows, chickens and horses. Thurman asserts. The Kansas who farms in California finds the fruit raising business so unprofitable the trades charge for a fruit and vegetable store.
"The Kansas farmers go to the Lower Rio Grande Valley to raise cabbages and tomatoes, where he told he can make $600 an acre, when in fact he could have done the same thing in his own garden in the Sunflower State," said Thurman. "He runs away to California to grow wheat when he has his crop, he finds it does not pay expenses." The good oranges are shipped back to Kansas where he can get $1 a bushel, the price of a bushel of wheat. His fruit and truck must be sold at once. Ten cents . hundred is often his价里 in a glutted market for cabbage and tomatoes. His prices are raised in Kansas wait without deterioration until the price was right but California products must be sold at once."
All members of the Jay Jane organization are requested to be in regular uniform at the Oklahoma basketball game Tuesday evening.
