Lavton Marshall, Editor and Proprietor Wm. E. Marshall, Business Manager Find Americans as Race Are Much Larger; Popular Idea All Wrong. MOSCOW. The once popular conception of the Russian as a huge man with a long black beard and high boots has been debunked nu- merous times, but the image still exists in the minds of many Americans. The Russans are not a big people. They always commenton the size of Americans. As a race, Americans are much larger. Russian men like to wear boots and the Russian cap, of cloth or fur. They do not like hats. In summertime, thousands of Russians wear little skull caps, but the plain blue serge cap always is in style. In winter this often is changed to a caracul cap. Womens hats here, like everywhere else, are unpredictable. They range from somber plain blacks to feathery explosions of color. In winter, many Russians, particularly women from the country, wear shawls over their heads and in summer a handkerchief. But there is brisk trade in modern head-gea- r. gay-color- One feature mens suits is the Russian of pref- erence for short coats. The Russians also like gay ties and a large loose knot. Stripes are in vogue, and a rainbow model gets many admiring glances. Because of the large amount of rain and snow, rubbers and galoshes are seen on millions of feet. The ancient valenki, or felt boot, still is popular, even in the cities, especially in cold weather. Taking into exception that there wasnt much for the consumer during the war, Russian girls and women dress about like American and English women. High heels generally are preferred. Lipstick is used, but not much cheek rouge. Complexions here usually are real and blooming. Women operate the mens barber shops and the beauty shops, which are plentiful and always busy. For entertainment, the city Russian has the theater and a Very good one at that. He has movies, concerts of every kind, public lectures, clubs, dances, restaurants and a lot of sport. The theater is extremely popular and there are practically no empty seats. The same goes for the movies. There are no night clubs as such, but many restaurants have floor entertainment and dance orches- tras.

Most Popular Drink. There are bars and pubs, too. One spacious and resplendent one on one of Moscows main streets is called Koktail Zal. Wine is the most popular drink, with vodka, the national liquor, perhaps next and then beer. Most of all, the Russian likes to drink tea. They drink it by the gallons. Talk and tea has been a national pastime for generations. Thousands upon thousands of Russians go to church regularly on Saturday night and Sunday morning. Churches are always packed. The Russians are great readers. Newspapers and magazines play an important role in their daily life. All papers could print thousands of more copies. Much of the Russian housewifes day is spent in shopping. She must go to the ration store, the open market store or the peasant market, all some distance from one another. and money. The This takes time Russian man and boy works. When they come home they expect a good meal. Russians like to talk and argue and tell stories. They generally are excellent listeners. They are very sociable and they like to visit one ' another. Explosions Rout Tenants Of Building Twice in Week BALTIMORE It was old stuff for the 25 tenants of 13 apartments in a midtown building when they donned dressing gowns and trooped calmly to the street at 2:10 a. m. The new oil furnace had blown up again. Dr. Joseph McClees was awakened by fumes just before the explosion as he had been at 2:30 a. m. five days before. He threw the electrical switches again, thereby preventing a fire. The residents chatted impatiently as firemen cleared .the building of dense smoke, then went back to bed in their cold apartments. t was banner Nineteen forty-si- x year for American farm machinery manufacturers and all reported prospects for 1947 are even better.
