obscure corner well out of sight, in the rear
of the store, or into the mems section.
We could enumerate one after the other al
most unbelievable examples. OF course, in
enumerating the more subtle ones we are not
forgetting the places where there is no secret
made of the treatment to these undesirable"
patrons, neither is their an effort to disguise
segregation.
A FTER suffering long time, the less mill
tant Negroes develop type of "inferiority
complex that induces them to choose the very
worst places to go rather than be subjected to
humiliatons imposed by segregation.
To make this casual statement means but
little. unless the individual readers can imagine
themselves in the place of the segregated per-
son-stared at as though they were some
strange species of a wild animal; made the
center of attention by rude arguments.
And what of the militant Negroes? Theirs is
always trying role. Fighting-always fight
ing for rights that should be freely given them.
How rebellious and enraged they become when
they think of how they are exploited by the
millions; drained for taxes in the name of their
citizenship betrayed by the politicians whom
they elect (where they are enfranchised) to
champion their cause; drafted to fight in seq
regated regiments for some gibberish about "a
world safe for democracy where they give, if
necessary, even their lives. Then always to
be confronted by segregation-segregati

TT is not subject for Observation-Disclosures
the Negroes are rapidly learning that there
is no solution in standardization Many
whispers have been overheard from the lips of
ex-service men to the effect that "they won't
ever get me again-they can fool me once but
not twice in the same way"
But the worst" Of it is, according to the la

Among the principal landowners in Russia,
as in other mOnarchies, the members of the
reigning house ranked in Importance with the

with their lives they live abroad. Perhaps the
richest of these emigres of the blood royal is
Prince Yurieffsky, the issue of Alexander IFS
re-marriage His sister was married to the no
less wealthy Prince Beratinsl1y. A wealthy
man, too, was Grand Duke Nicholas NichOlaie-
vich, who is still able to live in princely fashion
on the Riviera or in Paris. Although on the
retired list as grand duke and cOmmander-in-
chief, Nicholas Nicholaievich has little reason
to complain of his lot for he and his nephew
Grand Duke Cyril are regarded by the mon
archist emigres as the predestined successors
of the czars so soon as ever a restoration can
be achieved. Marie Feodorovna dowager en-
press and widow of Alexander III, Danish by
birth princess Gogmar daughter Of Christian
Ky, has withdrawn to her villa in Copenhagen.
The rest of her private property was lost in
banking crash. STILL some of the members of
the former ruling house are quite comfortably
provided for. Others among the Romanoffs
however, are completely impoverished For
example, in July, 1924, in a British law court
the widow of Grand Duke Michael was grant

question amounted to only G65.

Potnikof, the Russian counterpart of SHINES,

lures and one who had his fingers in almost

Territorial Nobility and Princey Property
THE Russian great landlords have for the
most part, come off worse than the indus
trials. The partition of the latifundia was one
of the first revolutionary acts of the Soviet
government, and it may we'll be that the dis
trlbution of the land among the peasantry is
the real explanation of the success Of the So
Wet revolution. In this matter, above ALL
thorough" was the watchword of the Boil
sheviks, and everything possible was done to
insure that the appropriation of the landlords
should be final and reversible. The country
seats were burned in the peasant risings The
dispossessed landowners (when they were not
deported for political reasons, or simply driven
away by the local peasantry) had no resource,
if they wished to remain in Russia, but to set
their own hands to the plough and till the land
like any other peasant. But few of the Russian
landed gentry proved willing tosundertake such
arduous labor TolstOy's ex-squires and ex-
noblemen, willing to wrest their own livelihood
from the SOIL were no commoner in Russia
than elsewhere To nearly all the landed gem
try, the emigres lot seemed preferable. Count
Orloff Davdoff for instance, sometime owner
of several hundred thousand acres of Russian
land, now lives in Brussels
The owners of forest land have not suffered
so severely. The ruling spirits in the Soviet
government were wise enough to see that par
tition of the forests would be mistake. Large
scale forestry is carried on as of old, and the
sometime owners now function as lessees of
the state forests. Provided always, they
know something about forestry! Spectators
have even less chance in this domain than else
where in contemporary Russia. Thus Shit
oyotoffsky, the most noted Russian Spectator
in forest lands, who had amassed wealth by
the purchase of vast forests during the war,

Nature Study Club

On Friday afternoon the Nature
club went for a short walk afield, fol-
lowing for a short distance the
stream. This is delightful bit of
scenery within easy reach of all. The
stream is edged with trees and
shrubs, and the birds were there en-
joying the scene and what it contain
ed for them. The black flies, the de-
light of the warblers. have arrived
and these doubtless wooed many Of
the warblers to this sport
High in the elm trees was a Balti-
more Oriole. beautiful plumaged
bird. He seemed to take pleasure in
occupying the outermost branches to
be in a fine position for study. He
sang as he worked. sometimes single
note. then a phrase or two. This is
the oriole commonly seen in this Sec
tion of New England.
The warbling viero and purple finch
were in song. two singers that differ
widely in dress, but with similar
songs. The viero's is usually more
deliberate than the energetic song OF
the finchs.
Other birds We're sighted among
them the kingbirds, meadowlarks, and
alder fiycatchers.
Saturday marked the closing day of
Song Bird week. Many people have
begun to realize the greatness Of the
mission our birds undertake. Their
value is threefold, they check the
swelling horde Of insects, help in the
control of plant life and aid in re-
planting denuded land areas. Birds
are national asset and must be
saved. We are nearing the nesting
season and it is the duty and priv
