Moscow,
w mous old city of the Ukraine named |
for Catherine the Great, !* the latest
Soylet c'ty to fair victim to the post-’
revolutionary habit of reehrmtening
cvtfy spot .which boars a name remin
iscent of tile old regime. Ekaterino
slav’s new name is I’etrovsky on -the
DatfpV. In honor of the secretary of
the Ukraining Cantral Executive
Committee, .-Petrovsky.
Ajßeginning with Petrogral, moye
than 100 im{>ortant cities of Russia
have been rennmed since 1018. Len
ingrad proved the most difficult name
into popular use, ip spite of the fact;
that Lenine Was the most popular of
all 'the Bolshevik leaders. A Current;
wise crack here now is to remark'
"t®hen Peter the Great built Lenin
grad !” Only by enforcing a poat of
fice order that no letter would be'
delivered addressed to Petrograd, was
it possible finally to make the new
name stick.
Nearly every dead or living Bolshe
vik leader is now more or less imuior
talixed by having his name in the list
of postoffiees. The big Bolshevik
names adorn the big cities, or prov
inces, upd the medium-sized ones and
small towns, while still more obscure
figures! have to be content with tboir
names on street signs.
Lenin naturally, leads the field.
There is not only Leningrad, the city.
But Leningrad province. The city of
Hiiqbirsk and the province of Simbirsk
were renamed respectively I’lianov
and-Ulianov province, after Lenin's
real name, Vladimir Ilyiteh Ulianov.
Two towns, Prish'.b and Taldom. took
the name of Leninsk knd Alexapdro
pdl was rechristenen Lenin Kan.
Trotxky. unfortunately, suffered po
litical disfavor, and hud to put up
with a smiijl suburb of Leningrad.
Katciiina. Where the Amundsen di
rigible sojourned awhile, and which
was renamed "Trotzk.
Stalin, all-powerful general secre
tary of the. Communist Party, drew a
prize -in tiie shape Os the imixtrtant
c'fy of Tzaritsin, renamed Stalingrad.
VSo far has the amnia gone" for
(■•hanging names, tlia.t not even the
policemen and droshky 1 drivers can tell
a ranger where to go in Moscow or
if the address desired is in
the new terinihology. To make it the
more confusing, the city authorities
frequently change the name '.of a
street,' and then leave the old sign up.
The official name of the Nevski/ Pros
pect" In Leningrad is "The Pnospeel.
of the Twenty-fifth of October." Bui
the signs still read “Nevski Prospect"
and nobody ever calls It anything else.

The improved draining system will not clog and the I j
remarkably small quantity of ice consumed-, makes the * [
price lower than they first seem.
A good refrigerator in itself means a big saving—sav-- t
