Ignorant an
Secretary of Stalin Tells Inti-
mate Tale of the SQViet,
Head
Stalin, the strange, nlysterioue dom-
inator of Soviet Russia,, whom nobodY
seems to know, is pitilessly pictured
by his former secretary as a man is
whom :all banner. desire is reduced to
a minimum, with the exception of his
insatible,Ol.ivet for power, The seem-
tary, Baz Raney, describes him ili'an
article in an auti•Bolshevik daily„ Be'
lives like an anchorite in two small
rooms in the Kremlin, which under
the ezazrist'regime evere occupied -by
servants of the palace, and it 15 de-
clared that he hardly ever indulges in
any amusements, never dissipates and
steals no money from the government,.
Play or recreation of any sort does not
exist for him, Itseems, and lie is sold
to be a good husband in the sense
that, with the exception' of his wife,
women do not, exist for him. As to
work, his former secretary. avers, that
he is not iu the least ,enthusiastic'
about it, except in so far as it relates
to his inexhaustible greed for domina-
tion. This informant goee on to say:
'!The first impression he makes is
that of a reserved, Self-possessed and
simple man, and, one thinks, probably
a very intelligent man, But ae one
comes to know him a' little better one
Is deeply astonished: .One finds that
he is an absolutely uncultured man!
And the more one 40e5 of him the
k 'more tide astonishment increases, He
is unable to grasp political problems.
He is ignorant in economics and fi-
na0ce. He not only does not know
any foreign language, but does not
know anything about Russian litera-
ture and entirely lacks general educa-
tion. His thought moves slowly and
heavily. There is not a trace of humor
in him. During a year and a half of
daily contact with him. I only once
heard him crack a joke. With a very
solemn expression on his facd-he came
up to one of Ws assistants, a certain
Tovstukha, and • said: "Tovstuklia;
my mother hada goat; well, that goat
was exactly lake you, only it did not
wear spectacles.`
"The essence of Stalin's method is
the appointment of, the right men—
that is to say, of his supporters—to all
the important posts in the country and
especially to all the main posts in the
party machinery. , , As a secre-
tary-general of the Communist party
it was easy for him to do this and he
bas been bent on this work since 1823.1
"His guiding principle in the selec-
tion is characteristic of him. Year
after year he has been systematically
eliminating from the powelt educated
and cultured Communists, and has
been replacing them in the most im-
portant positions with uneducated, un-
talented men from the lowest social
strata. These men are his supporters
only because they are personally
bound to him and their very career
depends upon him and upon the prog-
ress of the Communist revolution, for
finder' any normal regime they would
be zeros, complete nonentities."
Japan Renovating Cruisers,
Adding Weight and Strength
Tokyo,—Japan's four battle cruisers,
swift, powerful capital ships of class
not represented in the American Navy,
are undergoing in turn a thorough
renovation designed to :increase mate-
rially their defensive strength.
The detdils are kept secret, but it is
known that anti -torpedo blisters are
being added and the armor otherwise
Improved. The Japanese press reports
that the tonnage of each cruiser, rated
now at 27,500, is being increased about
1,600 by the renovation, but this can-
not be officially confirmed. It is
merely stated that the alterations are
within the terms of the Washington
naval limitation treaty.
The Haruna has been renovated, the
I!;irlshinra has been in drydock more
than a year, the Iiongo has just gone
in and the Hiyei is next`

influence. on Births
Not Astrology'.nor folk -lore, but a
very, up-to-date statietleal and inane-
tive study, reported et length in so
serious a professioiail journal as La
Presse Medicale (Paris), is respon-
sible for the conclusion that the posi-
tions a the sun and moon have, as
our remote ancestors believed; an in-
fluence on human births—at least ell
the frequency with uhieh they occur.
MVIoreover, these infiileneesare not the
same when male and female infants
are considered separately.,', Saye the
Paris medical journal;
Very extended data on this subjeet
have been collected 'and published by
Crochlert. They show the existence of
a daily cycle haviag'a maximum nuhn-
ber of births between midnight and 4
a.m. and a minimum in the course of
the afternoon. Krafft has investigat-
ed also .the daily variation of births
for each sex, and finds the combined
maximum between midnight and 3
a.m, and the minimum between neon
and 3 pen: For the male sex alone,
Krafft .finds three maxima—between
midnight and 2 axe,, about 7 a.m. and
about 6 ,m., with three minima at
about 0 a.m„ 2 p.m., and '10 p.m.
In the wee of female births the odd
and unexpected fact appear, that the
frequencies of birth are distributed
much more regularly among the dif-
ferent hours of the day, which would
seem to imply that the sun has a
greater influence On male than on fe-
male births.
More exact calculation, based on the
actual position of the sun instead of
the hour of the day, bring out these
facts even more Clearly; we are told,
Krafft has also investigated lunar in-
fluence, with regard to which the
author says:
"Although the belief in lunar influ-
ence on certain biological phenomena
has been considered as a gross super-
stition, recently the current of ideas
has begun to change direction, and an
impressive number of serious publica-
tions have been appearing in which
theses similar to those advanced here
have been defended, especially con-
cerning human births;" 1?roceeding in
the same manner as for solar influ-
ence, the author arrives at the fol-
lowing conclusions.
About forty minute; after the pas-
sage of the moon across the inferior
meridian, the number of births of both
sexes diminishes by 20 to 50 per cent.
below the hourly average; while
when the -moon is at an angle of about
60 degrees with the horizon, their
nunhber increases considerably.'
The influence of lunar phases has
also been subected to statistical
analysis, and the author shows that
"during full m000. tike number of male
births lessens somewhat, and then in-
creases rather suddenly by about ,80
per cent., finally reaching an excess of
more than double the normal about
two clays and a half after the full."
The variations of frequency in male
'births are more noticeable than the
female when solar positions are in
question, while the contrary seems to
be the case with the moon.

Educational Progress
London Times Education Supple-
ment: The advances in education
made in the United States and in Ger-
many and other European countries
show that the economic need for swift
progress in national education in
Great Britain was never more obvious
than at the moment. Such progress is,
indeed, a vital necessity from the eco-
nomic normo and indust el side of national
life. But the Board, though its ad-
vlsers see this clearly enough, has per-
haps never been so hampered .as it is
today. Of course, the Board must ex-
erdse economy, but the point is that
economy is not spelt in terms of non -
spending, hut of 'right spending. Much
money is spent even now that Is not
rightly spent.

WAS ALWAYS AILING
NEVER FELT WELL
Health Restored Through the
Use of Dr. Williams'
"I am one of the many who have
found new health through the use of
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills," says Mrs.
Everitt Dowe, South Nelson, N.B.
"For some years I never felt well,
and at times was so weak that I
would beon
e fined to bed. At the very
best I was in an ailing condition and
found it difficult at all times to do my
housework. I was subject to head-
aches, poor appetite, breathless at the
least exertion, and very pale. Before
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills were recom-
mended to me 3 had tried several
medicines, but without any good re-
sults. 3 had become completely dis-
couraged and felt that I would always,
be an invalid. A friend strongly urged
me to take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills,
and finally I consented to do so, but
without much hope that they would
help, .where other medicines had:
failed. But in this, to my joy, I was
mistaken. I had not been taking the
pills very, long when I knew they were
helping me. As I continued their use
I found my appetite improving, I slept
better at night, and my strength was
gradually returning. I continued tak-
ing the pills for several months, when
I again found myself a well woman,
and. I believe that had it not been for
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills I would to -day
be a helpless invalid, The pills have
since been taken by others in our
family, with the same beneficial re-
sults. I strongly urge every weak
woman to try this grand health -
building medicine."

These two evils invariably go together
and are every day leading boys into
criminal acts and thus into a settled

no effort to provide useful occupa-

them in laziness and self-indulgence.
There being no compulsion to learn
a trade the children, when they earn
