r '“Anything to wear" will be the
motto of these three Russian boys
.during the coming winter months.
Their condition is typical of that of
millions of little Russian children,
!inost of whom have come through
the summer without shoes and sel-
;dom with more than two garments.
And they face the prospect,—ac
cording to reports which field work
ers of the American Relief Admin
istration have made to Herbert
j Hoover, head of the organization-—
i of being imable to go out doors to
the A R. A. kitchens which have
! fed them warm meals for a year
or more. ’As fuel is almost impos
sible to get, most of the homes will
be heatless, adding to the peril the
children face, say the reports, for

clothing they will be exposed to itt-
The Russian winter is as severe as
that .of - the, -northernmost United
States and Canada, and this • h^ts
made the. problem doubly pressing,
for the Russian markets have little
clothing available, and the supply
that is for sale is held at prices far
above the reach of the average
workingman. Overcoats cost more
than a year’s salary. Some of the

counties on the guo.unds that som®
wer^ not signed by the persons.re-
quired by law'to sign them, and
some did not show the election to
have been held in the manner re?

other defects. L They requested
Secretary McLendon to exclude
these returns from the consolida
tion, which if done wpuld have
given’ Peach county a majority of

on the ground that the tyw did
not authorize hljn to go .behind the

then petitioned Judge. Bryan to
