NEEDED IN RUSSIA.
Take Corks for Bath Plugs, Says Lord Marley. LONDON, March 26. After having proposed the toast of “ The King ” at a travellers’ luncheon to-day, Lord Marley said: “ While w r e are still standing I give you the health of the president of the executive committee of the U.S.S.R.” Referring to his recent experiences in Russia, Lord Marley said that people still wondered with what to equip themselyes for a visit to Russia, whether they ought to take revolvers or whether they were likely to be bitten hy the Bolsheviks. “ I advise them to take corks for bath plugs,” he said. Russians have baths with running water, because they think our Western idea of sitting in the water in which we have washed is very dirt\ r , and accordingly they do not provide bath plugs.” The Soviet’s best railway trains, he declared, were better than'the best in America or Britain. They included radio in every carriage, with cinema snows and dancing evej-y night.
