What Everywoman Knows
Every year, dress fabrics are becoming sheerer and
sheerer—the colors more dainty. The ordeal of trusting
the delicate garments to "soap and water', however, is
done away with by the use of Lux.
You may feel quite free to buy the daintiest blouse lir
underwear your purse can afford—without a bit of worry
about the washing of them. You keep them fresh and
new the Lux way—simply dipping them up and down in
the creamy, copious Lux suds with never a bit of rubbing
to injure them.
Lux won't hurt anything that

IT is a mistaken idea that the ed -
lapse of Run,lan resistance to
Germany was a matter of a few
months. For fifty yearn ur more
the Germane have been undermining
the national structure of Russia, and
only a miracle could have prevented
what has happened. It was the logi-
cal result of 'a campaign that has
been going on for generations), and
as we look back over the events lot
recent years it seems tbat the al-
liance between Ituaaia and Fleece
was an artificial alliance, and that
the natural fate of the Russian peo-
ple was That of subserviency to Ger-
many. Prussia knows Russia better
than any other country knows her.
The French were strangers in the
alliance. however honestly Russian
statesmen souse to fulfil the terms
of the pact. There is a common Rus-
sian saying, "The money comets from
France, but the brains come from
Germany."
In Itussia we are watching the last
act of the drama; we see military
penetration following the peaceful
penetration that was going on even
before the birth of the German em-
pire. Attention is called to this tact
by K. Bercovici in the New York Sun.
who seems to know as much about
foreign affairs as his name Implies.
He quotes from C. L. Schuster, who
wrote a history of Rusaia in 1847,
in which be says with slnple• Teu-
tonic modesty: "Russia contain
within her a nation of Germans, who
In all respects possess an unqueslIfo-
ed superiority over the Russets -ea. And
it Is from them, the Germans, that
she draws the most distinguished of
her statesmen, bee politicians and her
warriors. And why is 1t that them,
are, comparatively speaking, as
superior to her Itussian subjects?
Precisely because as men they were
born Germans; tbat 1. to nay, their
morality and their Intelligence have
been cultivated, hase been developer
in the more genial soil of a richer, a
more elevated, a mon. enlightened,
civilisation." Old Kulture again.
