queen-Queen Olga. 1t was she who
went to Constantinople to be baptized
and was called The Forerunner OF
Christianity in Russia because at this
time the people who lived there were
heather.
"Then arose in the tenth century
Vladimar, the first Christian ruler of
the country.
1T was he who compelled his sub
jects to be baptized in crowds, wheth'
er they wished il or not, as the first
Christian ruler Of France, Clovis, did
in his country.

Then followed two hundred years
Of civil wars, and then the country
was threatened by terrible danger.
1t vas then that hordes of Mongols or
Tartars swept down through the coun-
try from Asia. burning and pillaging
towns and cities as they went. The
Tartars burned Moscow which was
then small town on a tributary OF
the Volga.
But. as the years rolled on, the
Russian princes and mobiles smrried
into the Tartar families, but it was
not until the close of the fifteenth
century that the Tartar power was
finally broken by the Russian princes.
Then came a great king. Ivan the
Third. He refused to pay homage to
the Tartar rulers, and he was far
seeing enough to make alliances with
surrounding countries. For his wife
he chose the niece of Constantine, the
last Greek emperor. And the princess
brought with her teachers and schol-
ars, and learning was started in the
monastaries.
"Ivan the Great rebuilt Moscow
and is regarded as the founder OF
modern Russia.
1T was Ivan who adopted the dou-
BILE headed black eagle which was
used by the Greek Empire as the arms
of Russia, and it was Ivan who first
used the name Czar-which is thought
to be derived from the word Caesar
as his title Of ruler.

I pretty on the stage and worked up
fine in lithographs-but they were the
bunk to live with!
The girl of eighteen who was "suf-
fused with bushes" when babies were
mentioned. bore those babies subse'
quently by the dozen and wrecked their
lives and her own by ignorance and
hysteria.
That same girl who believed any

around like an old shoe, sent her chill
dren forth into life with crushed spir-

to stand up and fight for their rights.
The world of twenty years ago was
all gummed up with needless sacrifice
and sentimentality that had gone ran

miserable for everyone by her whim-

stern realities.

that regime had come to its sickening
end in the late war. Martha. They in
herited a world befouled and SCARED
by pretense and cowardice and senti-
mentality. They saw how hate and
fear and greed and weakness under

They saw all this as youngsters had
never seen it before. The world was
too busy fighting to keep the old blind
ness and thrall. The world needed
their help too desperately to SEND

were released to a new and awful
freedom of thought and word and

That's why the youn gsters of today
