- HUSEUNS REVEAL CARIT LUKURES Soviets Use Relics to Show' Burdens of Old Russia on People. By the Associsted Press. MOSCOW, March 1.—Establish- ment of museums. one of the chief fetishes of the soviets, continues in all parts of the union. { Palaces, churches, synagogues and | other structural relics of the czar-| ist, regime are constantly being dedi- cated to education of the present | day proletariat. They usually contain | treasures and art objects intact, in order to show the masses the luxury and ex- travagance in which the aristocrats of bygone era lived Incidentally the government, in its| fight against religion closed more than 450 religious institutions in 1929. These | included churches, monasteries, mosques THE SUNDAY STAR. WASHINGTON, ARRANGING TENNESSEE SOCIETY EVENT and synagogues but the Anti-Religious | Society estimates that there are still | 50,000 churches open in the union. | The closed institutions have been made | over into schools, homes, clubs, hospi- tals, libraries or museums. | $11,000,000 Cathedral Included. In this last category are included the | $11,000,000 cathedral of St. Isaac and Kazan cathedral, one of the richest in | old Russia, both in Leningrad; the Church of the Redeemer, built at a cost of $7,000,000 to celebrate the deliverance of Moscow from Napoleon, and the Petchorsky monastery in Kiev, an eleventh century structure which was claimed to be the oldest religious edifice in Russia. Another late adddition to the mu- seum list is the palace in Leningrad of Prince Yusupoff, in the basement of which the notorious monk Gregory Rasputin was shot to death. A part of this palace is set aside for a workers' center. The palace contains millions of dol- lars’ worth of rare paintings, tapestries, bronzes, sculptures and furniture. Whatever hopes its owner may have had of getting any of these treasures to his present home in Paris, have been squeiched by the decree making his home and furnishingz a national pos- session. Another Leningred museum of evil report is the former fortress of St. Peter and St. Prul on the banks of the Neva. It is stripped bare, a condi- tion which adds somberness to the tales of Soviet guides concerning the manner in which political prisoners of the czars were allowed to rot in its gloomy dungeons. Palace Remains Same. ‘Then there is the royal palace in the suburb of Tsarskoe-Selo, just as Czar Nicholas and his wife and child- ren left it. The. ikons which the Czaring worshiped under the tutelage of Rasputin, the dolls and miniature furniture of the princesses and the American teddy bear and toboggan slide which the sickly heir apparent amused himself, are still where they were that night in August, 1917, when the royal family departed by the rear portals of their home. Then if one has time and inclination be can travel some 1,700 miles eastward into Siberia and visit another museum, the most of all. It is the two- story house in Ekaterinburg in which Emperor Nicholas, his wife and four children were murdered. For a fee of 10 cents visitors may even enter & basement room and see upon the walls and floor the dull red stains left by the bullets and bayonets that obliterated the rulers of old Russia. .

Children Play Under Yew| Tree Made Famous by Traveler. BY GRETCHEN S. SMITH. ‘When Sir Walter Raleigh returned to ] the Old World from America earrying | his cargo of tobacco and potatoes it was | not to England that he first introduced the delights of the fragrant weed, but to Ireland, where, in the little village of | Youghall, he owned a stately Elza- bethan manor. Lady Flower, who, with her daughter and her husband, Sir Archibald Flower, of Stratford-on-Avon, England, is now & guest at the Willard Hotel, was born and grew up in the little Irish town of Cappoquin, 14 miles from Youghall, where Sir Walter Raleigh planted the first_crop of potatoes in Europe, and many of the old stories told about Elizabeth's famous explorer, which are known to every American school child, are still told with exactly the same ver- sion to the Irish children of Youghall, Played Under Raleigh Yew. ‘Many times,” said Lady Flower, “I have sat and played as a child under the old yew tree where they say Sir ‘Walter Raleigh sat smoking his u&lpo. when his old serving woman, thinking he was on fire, threw a pitcher of water on him. It was also Sir Walter Raleigh why introduced into Ireland the po- tato, which he brought from the West- ister and many other of his diplomatic friends said farewell to him at rail- ‘way station. ern Hemisphere.” Lady Flower is & direct descendant of HTH IRISH RULER RECALLS OLD RALEIGH HOME LADY FLOWER. one of Ireland's most famous rulers, King Con, under whose record in the family genealogy there is entered the statement, “He fought a hundred battles and won them all.” Lady Flower agreed with her interviewer that there was a real foundation for the reputation of her countrymen being known through- fl“ the United States as “the fighting ish.” Lady Flower's maiden name, which was Keane, was derived from that of Con, the fighting King, and her brother, Sir John Keane, still lives on the an- cestral property at Cappoquin, orig- inal'v settled by the descendants of King Con. 8ir Archibald Flower, whose home is at Stratford-on-Avon, immortalized by Shakespeare, has an equally interesting family history. In 1818 Sir Archibald’s great grand- | father tired of the restrictions and the {deals of the Old World. Packing up his M.Brooks-Co ..

It took them 60 days to cross the Atlantic, but Richard Flower, Sir Archibald's ances- | tor, must have been fond of traveling, | for he did not tarry long on the Eastern | Coast before he started with sis cara- |van for Tlinois. There he settled in | the new land of “liberty.” But the old | gentleman was soon disillusioned with “freedom-loving” America, as he found | himself plunged into the most heated | question of that day—slavery. Years later, the youngest of his three sons, the grandfather of Sir Archibald, be- | came so disgusted with the slavery con- ditions in this country, that he returned X, England and settled in Stratford-on- von. Sir Archibald, who was born at Strat- ford, has made a life atudy of Shake- speare and his works, and he tells you that, “although Shakespeare lies buried in Stratford, his work lives and goes on living. Therefore,” he continued, “in Stratford we concentrate on keeping the living side going.” Shakespeare Peace Force, > “Shakespeare,” sald Sir Archibald, ‘'was not only a great dramatist, but | one of the greatest forces for world peace today.

ESKIMO TRAGED 10 FRENCH CAVES {|Collection by Ottawa Geolo- gists Reveals Life 400,- 000 Years Ago. Special Corrgspondence of 'sne Star. MONTREAL, March 1—That | France was the prehistoric home of the Canadian Eskimo is the belief of Dr. H. A. Aml (following his exploration work in the caves and hillsides of | Dordogne, France. He has just returned to Canada. Dr. Ami arrieved at Halifax with 38 cases of fossil specimens, which are being shipped to the Laboratory of Geology in Ottawa, and which will be | available to federal and provincial | museums and to colleges. | . For five months Dr. Ami has been 'in France, where he was direccting a party operating under the auspieces of | the Canadian School of Prehistory, which for eight years has been carry- ing on investigations into the habits |of the prehistoric man of the fossils of animals and fauna which have been discovered in this section. Interesting material regarding the various periods (of the world's evolution have been | found in Southwest France and the Canadian concession at Dordogne. Many Implements of Warfare. In four years in one hillside alone |Dr. Ami said more than 20,000 speci- | mens had been discovered. Many of these are implements of warfare and | pottery, and show the same character- | istics that mark the work of the Cana- dian Eskimo. Next year will show even more startling developments, Dr. Ami | said. The skull of a Magdalenian man shows the same characteristics as the Eskimo skull. As weather and climatic conditions changed the animals which were the food and also provided the clothing and weapons of prehistoric man were forced from France, across Europe, and finally into Northern Canada, and many followed the trail. The art of the an- clents are demonstrated by the articles recovered, and in many instances they are identical with that of the Eskimo. Traces were found of a great flood, which, Dr., Ami said, was probably caused by . conditions of the earth which opened the floodgates of ice and sent torrents of water into the valleys, destroying man and beast. This was discovered at Combs Capelli, on the Canadian concession, where implements tooled by man were discovered ground to_pebbles by the action of waves. ireplaces, where the shaggy citizens of about 400,000 years ago made their homes; chambers in which they carved with minute delicacy their desire to transcribe their ideals of beauty, in & manner sald to surpass the art of the ancient tians; llmaz which they used to light these chambers, and which are of the same type as those used by the Eskimos today, were discovered. Will Distribute Specimens. ‘The Canadian School is working un- der the auspieces of the Royal Soclety and in conjunction with the Beaux Arts of France, Mr. Ami said that all specimens recovered are sent to the Beaux Arts. What they choose they retain and return articles which are duplicates. Many splendid specimens were found this i«'!ll'. and these will go to Ottawa for classification, and along with 50,000 or 60,000 already in the laboratory at Ottawa they will be avallable for Ca- nadian universities. The University of British Columbia, the University of To- ronto, McGill, the University of Al- berta, Dalhousie University will receive collections. —_— At the recent Barbados agricultural show and Ascot horse tive women wore satin dresses of bright golden color with short skirts, and satin COSTUMES Where One Was Before . . « That's the magic of adding any blouse to a Spring suit, and, inas. much as we're all going MARCH 2, 1930—PART THREE, WOMEN BLAMED —— T Mrs. Nellie Tayloe Ross Urges Sex to Accept Respon- sibilities. Outstanding ‘Washingtonlans Honor Miss Matthews Upon Appointment. By the Associsted Press. While they were gathered at & dinner | to honor the achievement of ome of | | their number a hundred of Washing- | ton's outstanding _women _yesterday | heard Mrs. Nellie Tayloe Ross, former Govenror of Wyoming, take the Ameri- can.woman to task for not recognizing and discharging her public responsi- bilities. Addressing a group assembled -to felicitate Miss Annabel Matthews on her recent appointment to the United States Board of Tax Appeals, Mrs. Ross, & member of the Democratic na- tional committee, last night placed the blame for what she termed an ‘‘un- awakened political consciousness” in American women, despite a decade of suffrage, squarely upon the women themselves. Humility Is Advised. ] She advised the women who were re- joicing over a signal triumph in “the opening of a door heretofore closed to women” that “exaltation of spirit must be tempered with humility.” | “We deplore, but we cannot refute, | the charge that the decade since the suffrage amendment has made no ap- preciable advance in ethics,” said Mrs. Ross. “Some women are accepting their responsibilities, but there is a far larger number whose political conscious- | ness is altogether unawakened. En- | frafchised women in other countries are outstripping us in many directions— | certainly in achieving the outstanding | positions where they can mold political | Iife and thought.” | Mrs. Ross pointed to England, where | 68 women stood for the House of Com- | mons at the last election and 13 of | them were elected. ‘Then she made a thrust at feminine psychology, remarking: “We are going to have to make politi- cal activity fashionable.
