Moscow. : June HI-—Street cars tainted like circus wagons are going >ut of style in Moscow. With them is Issappcnring the last resort of Rus tian painters to make a living with heir art. Only g few examples of :bis type of propaganda vehicle re in ajn. There are stjll enough left to made the few foreigners who visit he Soviet capital. In flaming reds, blues and yellows, be JBAes of the street ears bear licttffies of battle and sudden death. The proletariat is always heroic, al vnys victorious.

To lay they merely hurt the eyesight md the municipality, repainting hem, is gradually restoring its trans portation system to its pre-war as tect of respectability. But the .circus wagon street cars ivere also useful to the painters who “ked out a living at the job of glorifying the revolution on wheels. Vo class of Russian society was larder hit by the revolution than ihe artists. No einss, except that of [he noble land-owners, has recovered is slowly as the painters. There are 2,000 professional paint 'rs registered with the t'hief Educa tion Committee. The committee has t yearly appropriation for their penefit of 18,000 roubles. This means [hat each painter receives an annual oenev olence from the government of i) roubles, or about $4.50. Most of theip are glad to get the J roubles. A hungry painter can live ten days on 9 roubles. Many of. them have gone to work til factories. But they wen l the nrst to be turned off when the present economic crisis hit the country and forced the closing down of mills uiid •'1 • T®e government has done every thing within its power to relieve the painters' distress. It has granted them rights of full citizenship, on a plane with manual laborers. This confers many privileges, and is vnlu- 1 able, but does not fill a dinner pail. I The chief need is for purchasers of' pictures, and the government of the ‘'First Workers and Peasants Ite public,"believes in bread first of nil. and cake afterward. Until the liqui dation of illiteracy has been com pleted. the department of education will have little money to spend on Soviet grt lovers recognize the situation as disastrous. They fear that Russian painting, which flower ed finely just before the war, will be stunted for a generation. The Grand Duke Xicholai Nich olaievitch. uncle of the Czar, and commander-in-chief of the imperial Russian armies during thewar, was very particular about who entered his tremendous palace in Leningrad. Furnishtid with absolute disregard of expense, it was probably one of the most expensive, if not the most artistic, residences in the world. • Today the palace of the Grand Duke is housing a new type of giuvit. By a new decree of the Leningrad Soviet, the palace has been turned over to the workers of the "Red Putiloff" factory for a club house. --MJoncs was talking to some friends i fish ing trip he was contemplating > on his holiday.
