LONDON, Aug. 11.—So development in Russia ln years has caused more comment than the Soviet's apparent departure from the strtotily communist level. Russia's decis'on to pay workers according to ability Is acclaimed tn some quarters here as a return to the right of production and sale of goods on the "old-fashioned capitalist ba- ssls." The decree, described as Herniation- al, wan Issued Jointly by the Sovnar kom (council of people's commissars) and the Tzlk (central executive committee of the Soviet Union). It Is designed to overcome the problem of the scarcity of certain malnufaetured articles by reviving the stimulus of private profit and Is linked wl;th the Intense campaign; for a bumper harvest, being Intended to provide goods which wil: encourage the peasants to do their ut« most to produce food. Hitherto tlie so-called cooperative artisan "artels" worked exclusively for the government on a basin of fixed prices and the strlctesttofflclal supervision. Tiie new decree removes thesc restrictions, reducing the taxes upon artisans and allowing them to buy their own raw products ln the open market en the most profitable terms obtainable. The Soviet government also promises not to Interfere In the disposal of the capital thus acquired by the "artels" and Communist party 'file* ials throughout the nation have been ordered to obey the idecree and encourage artisans to lhfrease their productivity. The largest share of Russia's needs before the Communist revolution was supplied by Individual tailors, she- makers and other artisans. This decree evidently alms to restore such production because of the critical shortage of such goods as .clothes and shoes. 0 Doukhobors Will Not Go To Mexico Grand Forks City Council Proceedings The regular meeting of the Grand Forks city council was held ln the council chamber on Monday evening.

Peter Veregln, leader of the Christian Community of Universal Brotherhood, as the Doukhobor sect is officially known, has negatived the proposal from his Jail cell here. Veregln is serving an 18 months sentence following co^virl- tion on a charge of perjuiry. This'information was made public by Peter G. Markaroff of Saskatoon, solicitor of the Doukhobor chieftain, and was confirmed by J. P. Shukin. vice-president of the Doukhobor organization. The wholesale migration of Canadian Doukhobors to Mexico has been suggested recently following dlssat> lsfactlon in the Doukhobor ranks with the conviction of Veregln and the wholesale sentences Imposed in British Columbia on members of tho "outlaw" Eons of Freedom sect for parafllng In the nude. J. M| Hackney, International colonisation agent from St. Paul, visited here recently and was reported arranging for the purchase of a tract of land ln Mexico on which the Doukhobors could settle ln the hope of securing greater freedom from gpvernmetalfal InteiV ference than they enjoy ln Canada.

"I would be willing to entrust my children to him." That is the tribute Emll Ludwlg pays to Josef Stalin, Russian dictator, ln the September Cosmopolitan. Stalin is a lonely man, not tempted by gold, pleasures or fame and even flattered by power, says Litd- wig. Two traits that govern his character—patience, mistrust Here are some of the things he finds about the most powerful dictator on earth, who rules the destiny of 160,000,000 people. 1. He lives like a humble citizen, with his 28-year-old wife and two children in a little house outside the city of Moscoy. 2. He is sensative and melancholy by nature, cold and determined by vocation. '. He has - devoted his life to improve the lot of the working man. 4. Everything about him is heavy, his gait, glance, will. 5. Under the czar, he was Imprisoned six times in 12 years. 6. Of the Russian leaders. Lenine, Trotzky, and Stalin, Lenine was mountain high, fiery and sensible; 'TlrotzkyJ, quick and brilliant. Trotzky has Lenine's vigor, Stalin his patience. \ Trotzky works from above through sentiment; Stalin from below through developing the indlvld'ial. Trotzky is the strategist; Stalin the tactician.

'No copy of the report was furnished to me either by the Kldd committee or tha govent. "In response to requests from me that the government furnish me with a copy of the report, our sagacious attorney general said that I had my nerve, while the head of the Kldd committee told me the committee had disbanded and he was unable to supply me with 0 copy.

Press, the election machinery in this province is being thoroughly overhauled In anticipation of a coll for action ln the not far distant future. The paper continues: Premier S. F. Tolmie. it is reported, will Ieavt Ottawa for homti over the coming week-end and when he arrives at the Capital city,, It is expected that ihe pollticol situation will be among the first issues placed before him for consideration. However, there Is very little likelihood of an appeal to the electors of the province being made before a brief session of lihe legislature is held to put through a redistribution bill and tbe general opinion ls that there ls but liitle possibility of the octual vote taking place besure tbe mi/idle of October next,. Indications are that a majority of the members ot the cabinet and also a majority of the Conservative members of the house are in favor of tbe appi al being made to tbe electors. If the government decides to face another session without complete i< organization and no election is held next fall, lt will be because Premier Tolmie has managed to overrule a majority of his cabinet and membership in the house. Although the majority opinion appears tu favor a coalition, a redistribution and an early election, there ls, of course, no definite decision that such a course will he followed. It ls pointed outi that Premier Tolmie may bc opposed to the Wea, but it is also known that If he ls, he will likely have to face tbe prospectl of sei vere cabinet resignations. In the meantime, tbe Liberal party lu preparing its election campaign on uhe assumption tbat the afcpeal will be made during the fall. One candidate has teen nominated and preparations are being made to proceed with the placing of other candidates tn the field.

An ancient dungeon In which prisoners of early Dela ware incarceiatad and ln which many were left to dlo, has been unearthed under the Kent county building on Dover Green. Between moulding brick walls, broken only by email slits; to admit air, but constructed in such a manner to exclude light, workmen discovered a number of skeletons. Jt is believed they are the bones ef prisoners of the early governors of Delaware—men who were "forgotten" after the cell doors clanged behind them. The discovery was made by excavators making ready fur a new state building program. Early records of Kent county reveal that on this site the first jail was built in 1740. Old maps show the cells designed as "offices," laid out under the old county building. Later, between 175H and 1763, James Hamilton, then governor of Delaware, and a number of citizens were designated as trustees and ordered to sell the jail awl purchase another lot for u new prison!

Girl Heroines of the Bard of Avon When we arc girls we |do not think much about what happy times we are having. But when we have become girls grown tell, since "hearts don't change mucb after all," wo look back with all the enchantment which distance lends, aud see the joy and gladness that we did not quite appreciate. I remember an unusual girl friend whose name was Cora. She was a very practical girl and not much given to romance; but when lt came friendship she was loyalty personified. She was what some eminent divine called an advocate of the absent. She could not listen to any idispai aging criticism of any one without fltfding some good trait to mention until you felt the foolishness of your fault finding. She reminded me of Riley's "Let something good be said." So, lest we two forget tbe Importance of our friendship for ealh other, she carefully wrote °ut In pen and Ink an Oath of Friendship Eternal. I I have forgotten the words o fthe document, but I remember signing It with great solemnity. Perhaps you remember that "Anne of Green Gabies' and her friend Diana had a similar Inspiration, except that their vow of eternal friendship was made over running water, which Anne's imaginative mind christened the Dryad's Bubble, a title accepted by her kindred spirit, Diana. It is curious what an insight into the hearts of girls was possessed by Shakespeare. It speaks well for his sweetheart and wife Anne Hathaway, of whom so little is known that she has not been appreciated by the world. With her Ue of sacrifice and waiting she seems to me like Imogen, "from every one the best she hath, and she of all compounded outsells them all." It ls significant that he bought the home at New Place, aad had lt fully repaired, though he did not live in it until he had aban doned the mage as a means of livelihood when he was 47 years of age. Anne Hathaway was his inspiration. Whatever hls inspiration, Shakespeare has given us many delightful portraits of girls. In "As You Like It," we find a clear-cut cameo of the friendship of Rosalind and Celia, who though cousins were more like sisters, having been reared by the same mother. Rosalind's mother haling died when she was only four years old So, they h.sd "slept together, rose at an Instant, aud learned, played, ate together, and wheresoe'er they weut, like Juno's swans been coupled and inseparable." Portia and Nerissa were the best of friends, Nerissa furnishing ihe humor for one inclined to be serious.

BLOOD PRESSURE The number of question coicerning bliod pressure which come to the health service is evidence tjialt a large of people are worried about high or low pressure. For a number of years, In making an examination, hoctors have taken the blood pressure of their patients. The ido tor ls interested In the blood pressure becahse it is by putting together all his findings that he is able to determine the nature of any abnormal condition whlsh may be present In hls patlennt. The blood Is always under pressure; Noeherwlse it would not rircu- late. In the same person blood pressure varies as Ihe result of BUchi things as worry, excitement, position of the body and the use of stimulants. It also varies with age, sex, wtiight and general health. High blood pressure is not a disease. It is tbe result of some caus.j which map be emotional, such as worry or excitement, but may be associated with some abnormal ondl- tllon of other parts, such as the heart or kidney. There is no use in guessing as to the cause; that is for the doctor to And out. Worry about blood pressure may be the one thing which is keeping it above the aver- ;e. It Is a mistake to try to Interpret your Own symptoms or the results of some examination. If, for some reason, you havt an X^ray examination, you are not able to interpret the picture; very likely you have no idea that you can do so, and yiu are quite right, for lt requires experience to enable the doctor to know the meaning of the lights and shad ows whl h the picture shows. .Blood pressure readings appear so simple—much like reading thermometer—that many people seem to believe that they should be able tn know the meannlng of a blood pressure of 160 or some other figure. It ls not with any idea of suggesting that there ls something mysterious about the subject that we say quite frankly that the Interpretation of blood pressure readings Is not simple. It ls not, simple because the significance of the blood pressure is, not found in the blood pressure Itself. It Is obvious that, if the average blood pressure for a man of 50 years of age is 130, a man ef 50 who has a pressure of 160 ls above normal. Such a condition should receive attention, but need not cause alarm. The condition Itself means nothing; It may be only temporary, but, In any case, until -the cause is known the signiflcan e of the condition ls obscure. A few years ago people worried about uric acid; now lt ls Wood pressure. Secure the 'advice of your doctor, follow bis Instructions, and leave blood pressure to take care of itself.

Canoe Trips in Canada Lakes and Rivers Provide Numerous Attractions ' Opportunities for an Enjoyable Vacation Almost Unlimited —|r-lHE rctiuirements for a suc- " Sijcussful and satisfactory trip Iby canoe; suitable water, Jcessful and satisfactory trip fi^.'J.'1^1 picturesque country and an I y&$ J excellent summer climate, k;'";.i^;;j(.'i"1 be found almost any- LsLiJaJwhere in Canada-. The innumerable lakes and rivers make the choice of trips almost unlimited. Ono can travel for hundreds of miles on any of the great rivers, journey- inK from lake to lake and portaging where rapids impede or heights into •ene. Having decided upon the kind of trip to be made,' whether one requiring much effort and experience, or one quite free from rapids nnd portages, tbe canoeist has only to select his route. Easy of Access Although railways and the automobile have provided a means of rapid transport, Ihere are countless places in the quiet of the forest, out of reach of either. It is such places, approachable only by canoe, that invite thc adventurer to partake of the wonders of nature. The railways and the development of good roads have however made the majority of canoe routes in Canada easily accessible, and one need not travel far from the majority of Canadian cities before reaching the embarking point, of an enjoyable trip. Forest Beauty In certain parts one may follow the streams for a long summer outing and never see a village or dwelling, yet civilization lies so close that return is easily possible. Waterfalls, rapids largo and small, lakes of singular beauty hidden deep in the forest, and islands covered with pine and spruce trees are among the interesting features encountered en route. In some places one may travel hundreds of miles without meeting obstacles of any kind. There is a remarkable contrast between the conventionality of modern life and Uio full naturalness of life in the great forest, where one may it-lax, amid the beauty of natural F.uToundiiiKs.
