Everyone is asking, ''How do the Bol,sllevists work their Government?" Mr. Baden Guest, one of the secre- taries of the British Labor Delegation to Russia, tells the story. The vast population of 200,000,000 is ruled by a minority of 600,000. These 600,000 impose their will upon the 200,000,000 by Machinery that is quite novel in the history of revolu- tiou. The various villages and workshops are supposed to elect Soviets or Coun- eils. These, in their turn, elect dele- gates to the Annual Congress of Sov- iets, which elects the Central Execu- tive, from which are selected the Soviet of. People's Commissar;, or the Cabinet.- But the Government is really run by the Bolshevist party, which is in the nature of a close corporation or ex- clusive society. The members must give themselves up to the party body and soul. It is a sort of military brotherhood run by the Central Committee of the Communist party, which is the primary force of Bolshevism and directs the whole movement. The Central Committee consists of thirteen Hien---five journalists, two professiena1 revolutionaries, two law- yers, and four working men. This body really determines who are to be mem- bers of the villego and factory Soviets, the Annual Congress, the Central Exe- cutive, and the Soviet of People's Commissars. Free Speech Banned. In other words, all these sorties are the creatures of the Central Commit- tee. So if you want to "got on" in the Bolshevist world, the great point is to get on the Central - Contmitte Thou everything else happens. ' The Cabinet consists of six men wh arta really Czars,.for they wield terrifi Power. They are Lenin, Trotsky Sverdlov, Rekoff, Staalin, and Tzurupa The full Cabinet ,consists of fifteen 'three lawyors,. three doctors, two journalists, ewe engineers, one pieta. (sat, and ' ie working man. The Cabinet are hitter revolution- aries, whose minds have been warped by the atrocities of the old system under the' -Czar. Consequently, the Bolshevists do not believe In free speech or a free Press. They do not allow any opposition when they are doing what they think is for the peo- ple's good. Most of them are not out for money, but enjoy all that money can buy. Mur. Guest travelled down the Volga with Sverdlov, who has his own pri- vate steamship, which carries a motor- car and a small sailing yacht. Sverd- lov also has his own special train, 'with a special chef of no mean order. Sverdlov told Mr. Guest that be be- lieves in ruthless discipliue. if a roan gets drunk he is shot! Mr. Guest went to see Lenin, whom he found surrounded by soldiers and disinfectants—the 'latter to ward off the deadly typhus, now so prevalent in Russia. Lenin was very cross with the pea- sants who declined to part with their grain for paper roubles. "They will have to be brought to book by force," he said. Lenin was also very strong on the subject of free speech. He said: "Why should the Government allow itself to be criticized if it feels f r'is doing right and seting for the good of everybody? if th'e Government is opposed with rifles, it shoots down the people who are carrying them. An idea is much more explosive than a rifle. Therefore, wily allow people to circulate ideas which'inay interfere with the Govern- lnent pa�liey?"

Variations—Eames, Emes, Ieanies. o Racial Origin—Anglo-Saxon. . o Source—A relationship. Trotsky Family names, of course, are not • the result of any scientifically cre- ated system of nomenclature. Orig- inally they;just happened, and .since - %hen they have merely grown. - They were seldom tete result of adoption by the persons who bore then. At first they were not used in addressing the persons who bore them. They were instead deseiiptive phrases invented on the spur of the moment in the con versation or writings of other per- sons, to differentiate one John, or Roger, or Peter from another. They stuck and grew not because the bearers liked them, but because the bearers' neighbors found them convenient labels. As a matter of fact, most of the surnames applied to the individual citizens of the Mid- dle Ages did not stick and become family names as we use them to -day. It was only in the exceptional case that the. surname "took" to the ex- tent of becoming hereditary. On the other hand, so many surnames would be pinned on a family line in the course of several generations that in time one of thein was bound to stick and become hereditary. Millions of three the custom mtist have found expression of distinguish- ing "John the Father" from "John the Uncle," or "John the Cousin." In a comparatively small number of cases such a surname as "the Uncle" would have stuck sufficiently to become a family name. But then it would be passed down to an increasing num- ber of persons with each generation. But, at the period when family names were forming in England, the common name for "uncle" was the old Anglo-Saxon word "eame," which since has become obsolete. But .with its original significance lost, it has Encouraging. • Simeon and Stinson' had been great friends in ultthe earlier years of their lives, but not so very long ago Stimpson took himself a wife, and now Simpson proposed to follow the noble Iead. The approach of Simpson's trial— er--triumph grew near.

CARROLL. Variations—Charles, Carlton, Karl - son, Carlson, Karls, Carrel. .• Racial Origin—English, also French and German. Source --A given name. - The given name of Charles, from which a great "many fancily names have sprung in various languages and through various methods of de- velopment, is a humble name, though it has been borne by many kings. It was the name of one of the great- est monarchs the world has ever known. Charlemagne (Charles the Great), at one period in the early Middle Ages built up out -of the com- paratively unorganized, antagonistic and unruly Germanic tribes a mighty empire, which embraced virtually all of what to -day is France and Ger- many. But this empire split when death robbed it of the only person- ality that could have held it together. It was the name of many kings in Anglo-Saxon England and among the Germanic peoples of northern Europe at the same period, and appears in history in a .form that was almost a family name at this period inany cen- turies before family names became general. It was the custom in those days for royal families to take given names which were similar. Thus one family would- show a preponderance of names beginning in "Ed," such as Edward, Edmund and Edwin. Such royal families were commonly refer- red to by the use of the a11 -embrac- ing ending. "ing," which had some- thing both as a tribal and family sig- nificance. Thus we hear the "Karl- ings spoken of. The Anglo-Saxon form of the given name was Ceorl. Its meaning is sim- ply "man." tePell`,+"n1ieeBes.eell.OJfeeitele i 1�',,'%ISTIi�l'ii''i'pw`.alef ales er,M.: l M`r.5 A euts The Creel That Needs No Sugar Healthful, ,substantial and full of sturdy nourishment.

I The fact that the Clhinese give ev i-' Bence of decided ideas of their own as to the use of colors in materials, wrap- pings and poster advertising, was re- cently commented upon in the C'iu- cingnation. Such prejudices have been known to cause a Chinese easterner to change his patronage merely because of the coloring of packing paper used. Though no definite rule cau be applied to all commercial uses of color, it can be' generally said that the gold, yellow, red, bright brown, purple and certain shades of pink are good colors. Gold is a dignified color, red the color of good fortune. Imperial yellow is good for rugs, carpets and curtains. White and blare are mourning and should be avoided as well as green, which is as. sociated with misfortune. The design- ing of posters tend advertising matter should always be handled by agencies in China who are familiar with the tastes and prejudices of the cotmmmn- ities involved.
