THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN AMERICAN HUSBANDS MIGHT BE WORSE OFF The Well-Dressed Woman in Russia Spends 300,000 Rubles for Slippers Bv JOHN GRAUDENZ, BY JOHN GRADUENZ, (United Press Staff Correspondent.) Moscow, Russia women in Russia today could be outfitted for 4,000,000 to 8,000,000 rubles, and a man would spend about 1,500,000. This in American money, would mean between $1,000 and $2,000 for a woman's clothing, and $250 for a man's. Some of the articles a woman would buy, and their prices, would be: Slippers, 300,000 rubles; shoes 500,000; dress 1,000,000; tailor- sie 1,500,000 to 2,000,000; cooter stockings, 25,000; silk stockings A man would pay at least 1,300- 1000 rubles for a suit of the poorest cloat; 100,000 for a shirt, and 28,000- to 30,000 for a tie. It is characteristic of present-day Russia that while essential articles are offered at exorbitant prices, comparative luxuries are really cheap. About a dozen shopresponsible for Monday, daily business in Moscow daily, displaying every article from a need to French perfume. One of the windows of the apartment elaborately boasted an American safety raizer, priced at 14,000 rubles. As regards food, prices are regulated largely by supply and demand, as in other countries, and because of the shortage of many articles, prices are unusually high. In fact, many people cannot afford to pay them. Fruit is about the only thing tha is plentiful. Ham, being very scarce, brings 18,000 rubles a Russian fund —about nine-tenths of an American pound— for the fresh variety, and 28,000 to 30,000 for smoked. Lamb chops are about the cheapest of all meat, selling for 9,000. maca. A chicken, weighing three fund, or a duck, weighing four fund, brings 35,000 rubles. Butter sells at 21,000 to 28,000; cheese, 25,000; milk, 3,000 a krushta—a little less than a ten; eggs, 12,000 for ten. Fish is one of the most important of Russian foods. Herring brings from 1,500 to 7,000 rubles apiece, and salmon, 29,000. Former Fine Arts Pursue Work at Provincetown, Mass. FIVE GRADS IN ART COLONY John R.
