Great Falls, or insertion of provision
for early construction, by the Federal

following the adjournment appointed
the following committee to discuss the
matter with the members of Congress:
0. M. Ktle, j. Bond Smith, C. A. Kor-
bly,, w. B. Armstrong and j. j. Miller.
This was taken up by the federation as
an emergency srnatter, in view of the
fact that the bill has passed the Fed
eral House, and it also considered the
matter OF seeking amendment of the

to preclude complete Federal juriSdic-

WOMEN BLAMED FOR FAILURE
TO TAKE POLITICS SERIOUSLY
Mrs. Nellie TayIoe Ross Urges
Sex to Accept Respon-
Sibillties.
Outstanding Washingtonians
Honor Miss Matthews
Upon Appointment.

BY the Associated Press,
While they were gathered at q dinner
to honor the achievement Of one Of
their number hundred of Washing
tons outstanding women yesterday
heard Mrs. Nellie Tayloe Ross, former
Governor of wyoming, take the Ameri-
can woman to task for not recognizing
and discharging her public RESPONSE
bilities.
Addressing a group assembled to
fel1citate Miss Annabel Matthews on
her recent appointment to the United
States Board of Tax Appeals, Mrs
Ross. a member of the Democratic ma
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-
loicing over signal triumph IN the
opening of door heretofore closed to
women" that "exaltation of spirit must
be tempered with humility"
I'VE deplore, but we cannot refute,
the charge that the decade since the
suffrage amendment has made no APP
preciable advance in ethics" said Mrs.
Ross. Some women are accepting
their responsibilities, but there is far
larger number whose political conscious
ness is altogether unawakened. En-
frarichised women in other countries
are outstripping us in many directions
certainly in achieving the outstanding
positions where they can mold political
life and thought"

MUSEUMS REVEAL
CZAR|ST LUXUR|ES
SovietS Use Relics to Show
Burdens of Old Russia
on People.

- the Associated Press.
MOS COw, March l.-Establish-
ment Of museums. one of the chief
fstishes Of the soviets, continues in al
parts of the union.
Palaces. churches. synagogues and
other structural relics of the car
list. regime are constantly being dedi-
Gated to education of the present
day proletsriat. 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
tight against religion closed more than
$50 religious institutions in 1929. These
included churches, monasteries, mosques
and synagogues but the Advantageous
Society estimates that there are still
10000 churches open in the union.
The closed institutions have been made
over into schools, homes, clubs, hospi-
tails, libraries or museums.
$11,0O0,OOO Cathedral Included.
In this last category are included the
sl1000,000 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 $1,000, 900 to celebrate the
IL
and the Petchorsky monastery in Kiev,
an eleventh century structure which
was claimed TO be the oldest religious
edifice In Russia.
Another late addition to the mu-
scum 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 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
squelched by the decree making his
home and furnishing a national pos
session.
Another Leningrsd museum of evil
report is the former fortress of St.
Peter and st. Paul on the banks of
the Neva. It is stripped bare, q condi-
ton which adds somberness to the
tales of Soviet guides concerning the
manner in which political prisoners of
the cars we're allowed to rot In its
gloomy dungeons.
Palace Remains Same.
Then there Is the royal palace In
the Su0urD OF TSarSkoe-Selo, Just as
Gar Nicholas and his wife and child
rem left it. The ikons which the
Czartna 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 we're 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 100 miles eastward
into Siberia and visit another museum,
the most tragic of all. 1t 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 q
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.

DESCENDANT OF IRISH RULER
RECALLS OLD RALEIGH HOME
Lady Flower, Washington
Visitor, Gives Intimate
Glimpse Of YoughaII.
Children Play Under YeW
Tree Made Famous
by Traveller.
BY GRETCHEN S. SMITH.

When Sir Walter Raleigh returned to
the Old World from America carrying
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 Eliza
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, IL 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 YER
sion to the Irish children Of Youghall.
Played Under Raleigh Yew.
MANY times said Lady Flower, at
have sat and played as a child under
the old yew tree where they say Sir
Walter Raleigh sat smoking his pipe,
when his old serving woman, thinking
he was on fire, threw pitcher Of water
on him. 1t was also Sir Walter Raleigh

tato, which he brought from the West
ern Hemisphere"

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
out the United States as the fighting
Irish"
Lady Flowers 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 Cappoqufn, orig
inal'v settled by the descendants Of
King Con.
Sir Archibald Flower, whose home Is
at Stratford-on-Avon, immortalized by
Shakespeare, has an equally interesting
family history.
In 1918 Sir Archibald's great grand
father tired Of the restrictions and the
ideals of the Old World. Packing up his

bag and baggage, he sailed for America,
carrying with him not only his entire
family but practically the whole of his
"old home town" He took passage on
a sailing vessel and must have chartered
almost the entire ship, for we are told
that the blackSmithS, the carpenters.
the stone masons, and the farmers of
his native village, in addition to much
live stock, cattle and sheep, journeyed
across the ocean with him. 1t took
them so days to cross the Atlantic, but
Richard Flower, Sir Archibalds ances-
tor, must have been fond of travelling,
for he did not tarry long on the Eastern
Coast before he started with ibis cara
van for Illinois. 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 disguised with the slavery con-
ditions in this country. that he returned
to England and settled in Stratford on
Avon.
Sir Archibald who was born at STRAIT
ford, has made life study 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. ain

living side going"
Shakespeare Peace Force.
Shakespeare" said Sir Archibald,
was not only a great dramatist, but
one Of the greatest forces for world
peace today. The works of Shakespeare
are about the only thing in existence
upon which the opinion of the world
agrees. Last Summer at Stratford we
had representatives of 86 different co,In-
tries, who arrived to pay their homage
to Shakespeare whose works have been
translated into practically every Ian.
