Hirtland in Leslie’s. Almost every soldler eventually smoked. Smoking had a solace all its own to ease the terrific tedium of the trenches; and in times of crisis it acted in its own subtle way as an anchor toward calm- ness. Often in:France there were to- bacco .crises—and . terrible memories they are,’ In southern Poland, any one possess- ing a package-of cigarettes rented & safe deposit vault. One of the Ameri- can Y. M. C. A. secretaries in Krakow discovered that lie could outclass and overlive the aristocracies of the pal- aces. For one cigarette per day a valet (who had had his training In New York) came to his room and looked after his clothes and boots and shaved him. A hair cut came at the same rate. Metal Suits in Ye Olden Times. Armorers of ancient days often achleved fame for the quality of their metal suits, but their secrets are an open book In the light of modern met- allurgical a@palysis and microscopy.

Sugar and Liquor Rates Are Away Up—School Books Are Only Things Exempt. Néw York—Turkish tax collectors spare nothing from) levies except | schoolbooks, and the assessments run 80 high that 10 cents a pound is ex- | acted on all sugar, while a tax of $229 recently was demanded on an nu—{} tomobile that sells for $595 in the United States. These unterrified tax collectors have hoisted the rates to such an altitude that the Near East Relief injected a protest, its headquarters here was in- formed in a letter from one of their workers {n Samsoun, Armenia, about 300 miles from Constantinople, Liquor, blighted by prohibition’since October 1, is taxed a certain sum per bottle, irrespective of quality, the let- ter said. The time limit for exporting all intoxicants from the county termi- nates December 1. After that the Kemal government will confiscate the balance of stocks. For thirty years special taxation has been exercised to fill a swamp that has Taused malaria to blossom and flourish constantly, but, the writ- er said, “these hundreds of thou- | sands of Turkish pounds have filled officinl pockets while the marsh still remains unfilled.” Relief has a hospital only a mile away, and has persistently requested that this “plague-spot” be removed. Dr. K. J. Marden, head of the Near East hospital at Marsovan, has “per- formed many minor operations to re- move tatoo marks from Armenian girls,” continued the letter. These girls are tattooed on the hands, forehead, cheekbones, chin and on or between the breasts. Many girls are deeply ashamed of this mark of their slave- hood. “Some of these girls will vanish .sooner or later from the protecting home, as sqgue have done before them, to find their way back to the Turkish or Kurdish harem which contains their child. One cannot blame them. They are mothers first and Armenians after- ward. There is tragedy there, for the Armenian men will never understand this thing. To them the child is a Turkish child. To the mother it I8 her child.” DRESSED FOR COMPANY A Bohemian woman and her little daughter, Czecho-Slovakia, dressed in their best for a holiday. The woman’s costume is very ornate, consisting of many rib- bons and three different colored aprons. Both motler and daughter wear high well-shined shoes.
