Under the impulse of the new experiment, Kemal Pasha invited and men to meet at social functions in the palace, unheard of before the pretty bride had entered active poli tes Probably the divorce means that the effort gain equality with men in Turkey was carried on too rapidly by the new feminist. party headed by Latiffe Hanoun.

Twenty Years ago he took his wife to the Alps some 5,000 feet above the level of the sea where the sun shone more than 333 d: in a year. The sun rays relieved her malady, ‘but he stumbled up on the therapeutic value of the sun's rays. Dr. Rollier observed that workmen in Switzerland, ag well ag in other European countries worked during the heat of the day stripped to the walst and the portions of the body most exposed to the sun were much better than those covered by cloth ing. He exposed one arm to the sun and kept the other covered. ‘The one exposed to the sun became stronger. Hundreds of other tests were made of the curing powers of the sun, Running sores often ceased dis ‘Bing upon exposure to the sun. More and more is the medical profession seeking out nature's cures. Observation has shown that animals when allowed to follow their own instincts make few mistakes concerning the rules of life and development. Only when man herds them in zoos do they deteriorate, become mangy and die. 1a the great open spaces where the winds sweep and the sun shines, nimals look sleek and healthy Dr. Ramsey logically argues that humans who are suffering from the pent-up life of the present age can well go to the animal kingdom and learn some Primitive but essential rules of health Stealing It's nice to motor through the country these warm days, to drive down pleasant roads between orchards of ripe apples or vineyards where the grapes are turning purple and appetizing. Sometimes a motorist thinks, it's nice, also, to stop and help himself to some of this fruit by the roadside. Unfortunately, however, this is nothing more or less than stealing. That same motorist wouldn't dream of sneaking up to a fruit store in the city ‘ond carrying off, by stealth, an armful of fruit; and that's exactly what he does when he takes the farmer's fruit. It's a pity some of ua are so thoughtless that this never occurs to us. War Menace The world is struggling, not yet very successfully, to organize for the prevention of war between na- tions. It has scarcely begun to organize against the nearer menace of war ‘between classes, or the re- moter specter of war between race: President Coolidge is attempting to prevent + strike against which our existing institutions give him no weapon. If workers and employers cannot agree, it is their privilege to fight each other with * strikes and lockouts. So the head of the governmet is reduced to do by solicitation what he should be empowered to do by law. We cannot “outlaw war” between nations or between classes, except by substituting something better. We are trying that, in a way, between na- ‘ttons. Between classes, we do not yet dare even to try.

It goes into a field of wheat and when it comes out the grain is ready for a truck to take it to the elevator, There was not much labor shortage in many grain fields this harvest. There was a sur-| | Plus of labor in the city labor centers. Young people leave the farms for the cities. The ; boys and girls go into town, but it does not make much difference now. They started doing this before there was a combine to go into a field of standing grain and come out the other gate with the finished product of that field. The it did make a difference. Machinery is the modern slave. We have shut} off the supply of labor from Europe. People said that some one had to dig ditches and that Amer- icans of ten years or three hundred years’ pedigree would not do it. A mechanical ditch- digger does Jit better than a dozen hard working European laborers. An American 80 contractor could build the pyra- mids in jig time. He would do it with machines, not men. The American housewife used to wonder if she could get a maid who could understand Eng- lsh and be willing to work. Now she pushes in electric plugs and turns switches, cleans by vac- uum, ‘puts her clothes in one washer, her dishes in another, her dinner in a time regulated oven, sews ‘by an electrically driven machine, and meets {her husband at the station in a car after she has brought her children home from school in it. And the personal maids’ work is done by a professional hairdresser with machines. Farm and city are being emancipated from hired jlabor by the great slave, machinery. Gasoline is the hired man of the farm. It is getting a helper in electricity. Casual labor is not so much needed in a farming community. It does not require so large a population. The boys need not stay on the farm if they do not want to do so. They can go into the city and work! in a factory making automobiles, tractors, combines or radios, phono- T an unusual sight to see a small boy whose head is Braphs or concrete mixers. They are working on the farm in the factory. * Machinery not only breaks the soil, plants the seed, cultivates, reaps, and markets it; it not only slaves for the farm wife and housewife, but whea it has done working it entertains, It brings dance or orchestral music to the farm or the flat dweller by radio. In the car it takes the famliy over a hard road which the concrete mixer has laid to the movie show. Farmers are not crooked ‘backed nowadays with using the scythe and cradle, with turning hay with a fork, with thrashing and loading grain. The wife of an energetic farmer is not going insane from isolation. Old civilizations were built on the backs of slaves, ; American civilization is built on the back of a machine. Cost of Bad Roads (Northfield, Minn., Independent) | A business concern that maintains a fleet of sev- eral hundred roadsters qhroughout the country found that it coat 6.4 cents a mile to operate a car in California, where roads are always good for automobile traffic, while in states where roads are poor the cost was 8.7 cents per mile, despite the fact that the original cost of cars in California is | slightly higher. This forms a real test of the value of good roads. Good, hard-surfaced roads come high in construction cost, but they save every car owner real money. in operating expense, the total of which for all cars on a heavily traveled road wi}l soon pay for the cost of improvement. A comparison of the figures cited above will show that the difference) is 2.3 cents per mile in favor of the hard-surfaced roads —less than what the Minnesota car owner (pays in tax per gallon of gasoline. Figuring that a gallon propels his gar 15 miles, the Minnesota car owner is saved more than 30 cents in the operation of hig automobile on a paved road, while the special gasoline tax which he pays for such improvement in only 2 cents. THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE Heavy, Heavy, Hovers Over His Head SATURDAY, AUGUST 15, 1925 ——_ The Tangle LETTER FROM LESLIE TO RUTH BURK PRESCOTT Slowly we glided out on the deck. I felt Syd's arm tighten almost TINUED | imagination. TCT perceptibly. “Are you happy, Leslie?” he | asked. “Very. I never participated in such a gorgeous party before. It doesn't seem to be of eurth, earthy, Mr. Sartoris was just talking to me of that fairy land he calls his mind, and it seems as though he were able to make a fairy land on board his ship. Perhaps I'm very wicked, Syd, to enjoy it so much, when there are so many people who would almost give their immortal souls to have the money that just these white flowers have cost. But I can't help but enjoy it. 1 can’t feel that 1 am robbing them. This is my night of joy, and 1 am very happy.” “You certainly ought to take great pleasure in it, for in all my life, Les- lie, I have never known a woman who been so wonderfully flat- tered ore.

(Copyright, 1925, NEA Se: Jae.) New York, Aug. New York three days, and it seems 15.—Away from more like three months. Not that I was homesick for New York, nor that the old burg changed so much in that space of time. But there many sights away from New York to be seen I wonder why people come here sightseeing. Certainly one need not come to New York to see a New Yorker. He or she, as the case may be, is ubiqui- tous. are so One gets into the habit of riding on bus tops here for a thrill. That is so true that when a New Yorker gets to Chicago the first thing he does is to climb aboard a Lake Shore Drive bus. (Yes, I did that.) And here is a snatch of conver- sation heard atop a Windy City bus: “The lake is beautiful, isn't it?” “Yes, is, but I prefer the Hud- son River. Its shores are steeper.” In almost any club car anywhere | you'll find the New Yorker. As the train rolled along the upper stretch of the Hudson toward Albany. one of four pinochle players looked out the window. “Gosh, I didn’t know the Hudson was such a big river. It’s pretty, too,” he exclaimed. “Pretty, pretty.” chimed in other, as he bid 350. “But look at it! It ain't got no traffic on it! Why, if that was the East River up here it would be full of traffic.” New Yorkers talk louder than other people, I have observed in this col- umn before. That is readily notice- able on cross-country trains. We were in the diner at breakfast s the train pulled to a stop high on ‘the Canadian side of Niagara Falls. A sun struggling through thick clouds was burnishing the upper rapids with streaks of copper. Mist from the falls floated obove the river and catching a stray gleam of light burst into a fiery rocket. It was a view of the falls that many in the car had never had And there was a New York woman at the other end. “Migawd,” she bel- lowed, “look at the falls.” Do you know how long it has been since I saw the falls from this side, Mame? ‘Twenty years! I know it is 20 years because it was in 1905. Yessir, 1905. That makes it 20 years. Of course, ‘we run up from the Big Town every ponee in a while, but we don’t always , 1 know it get over on this sid was in 1905. That was 20 years ago!” While she was broadcasting, the roar of the falls dwindled to a gentle murmur. “Say, steward,” one meek man yelled out, “will you please turn off the loud speake —JAMES W.

I shall go to Mrs. John's house first.” ee So off they went to Pippin Hill to the House-That-Jack-Built. Mrs. John was sitting on her front porch darning Jack's and Jill's stock- ing hen they fell down the hill,” she explained, “they tore their knees clear out. I don't know. “Why, yes, my dears, I'll look in my button box and see if any stray buttons got in,” she said. “Sit down, please, everybody, while I go and get it” “Out came Mrs. John in a few min- utes with a button box as big as a drum. Then she sat down on her rocking chair and dumped the buttons all out into her lap. The Twins pulled their chairs up y, what a lot of buttons,” cried Nancy. “You have elmost as many buttons as the Button Store Man.” “Or me,” said Juggle Jump proud- ly displaying his coat. Mrs, John laughed. “You would be a handy person to have around,” she said. “If I ran out of buttons I should only have to cut one off you.” “Jack and Jill must lose a lot of buttons,” said Nancy. “La me, child!” exclaimed Mrs. John. “It isn’t Jack and Jill. It's everybody in the place. I do mend- ing for all the poor folk here who haven't anybody to do it for them. Mrs. Tweedle is sick in bed, so I am doing all the week's mending for Dum and Dee. “And Jack Horner and Little Tom Tucker, poor waifs, would be in rags if it were not for me.

Germans Complain of Limitations Put on Aerial Progress Berlin, Aug. 15.-UP)—A number of leading aerial companies held meeting in Berlin recently to protest against the limitations imposed upon Inerial navigation by the note of the | Ambassadors’ Conference. Acting as spokesman for the companies, Otto |Julius Merkel, director of the Deut- scher Aero Lloyd, declared that the Treaty of Versailles had tied Ger- imany’s hands in regard to military aviation, but had granted absolute freedom to civil aeronautics. On the ‘strength of this pledge by 22 nations, he said, German aeronautic circles ; were not only justified, but in duty ‘bound to guard the freedom of their civil aerial navigation. Director Merkel stated that in Eu- rope and America—but especially in the United States—all expenses en- tailed by the development of aerial igation were defrayed by the stat h the same promptness and readi ness as formerly in the case of the | Wireless service. He pointed out that at Hendon, in England, the large traffic airplane, Vanguard, with tw> 650 horsepower Royce Condor mo- tors and intended for 25 passenge a striking illustration of Eng- progress and that at last year's civil aviation contest in Franc Farman’s four-motor Jabiru intended for 14 passengers. In Germany, how- ever, the capacity of non-military | planes was to be limited to nine pas- sengers, The speaker concluded, amid loud | acclamations, that German aerial cir- cles were determined to reject these severe and throttling restrictions by the Ambassadors’ Conference, as be- ing unjustifiable in view of the act- ual results attained in this respect by France and England.
