Cost Are Revealed as Grant Mitchell, one of the outstanding figures in the theater world, beSituation in Russia gan a series of lectures Monday afterCivil servants in Russia are paid an average salary of $35 a month.

Whitmack, librarian ctl the Wilmette Public library, will leave W cdnesday night, Ju.ly 31, on her annual month's vacation. Accompanied by Miss Lillian Doing, registrar at New Trier High school, she will spend part of the time at her home in Billings, Mont. Miss Whitmack and Miss Doing also plan to visit Glacier National Park and may take a motor trip through some of the northwest states. · The general economic condition of Russia is improving, Dr. Haensel stated, and, considering the great natural resources and endurance of the population, a steady recovery is out of doubt. The position of workmen has recently improved. and thev g-et higher wages than before the war. They receiYe all goods in preference to other classes, and they have their clubs and' free entertainment. But this class is comparatively small, and its prosperity is st ill accomplished at the cost of the 120 million rural population which gets low prices for its grain and must pay comparati\·cly high prices for manufactured goods. High wages, in comparison \\·ith the lo\v income of a peasant, prm·oke a great influx of population into the cities, where a great shortage of housing prevails. To cope with this difficu lty. the gm·ernment ordered that nobody shou ld he allowed to occupy more than 90 square feet for his lodging. This influx of population results in large unemployment. and there are more than 2.000,000 unemployed in the cit it"s. The chief watcln\·ord of the Sovirt government is the greatest possible industrialization of the countrv. and nothing is spared in achieving th-is aim.
