Are Very Poor in
Russia
By international News Service.

LONDON, June 23.-There's
no profit in singing in Russia
any more, according to Fedor

where one is paid in sterling.
To prove his point, Chaliapin
related the following:
"For one of my last con-
~certs in Russia, in a village
called Luoga, l was paid, six
months afterward, by
"Ten pounds Of flour;
Gone ham;
give pounds of sugar, and
"A selection Of weird pota-
