JPESHAWAR QUER ‘ ‘. . I + ? ] . ) D i ‘ PEACE-TIME CITY Packed With Native Afridis, Yet Deadly Dull as a Cantonment. Peshawar, frontier city of India hara by the mouth of the worid-famous Khy- ! ber Pass, where British forces have; been attacked by large groups of half- wild Afridis, is the subject of a com- munication to the National Geographic Boclety from Maynard Owen Williams. | Describing the town in peace times, Mr. ¢ ‘Willlams writes: “Peshawar, like many another city in Indis, is a combination of native city and cantonment—the former _closely packed and interes! , the latter widely sprawled and as deadly dull to the cas- ual visitor as the outside of an exclusive club, Polo an Ancient Sport. “There is tennis on excellent courts, sensational polo by military men mount- on splendid ponies, with white-leg- ged grooms lined up behind the goals, and the side lines, a sandwich of attractive Europeans wedged in between the less attractive and more interesting natives, to whom polo seems aristocratic | and exotic, although this most ancient of hockey games came overland .from Persia through Turkestan hundreds of rs ago and was played in India long more the English, smashing the Span- ish Armada which barred the water- gate to the opulent East, founded the East India Co. “The cantonment is the place where the visitor sleeps and eats, and where he obtains permission to traverse Khyber Pass, that gash In the barren hills through which the Central Asian com- merce ebbs and flows. But for interest he drives or, better, plods along the 2- mile dusty road which leads to the na- tive city, composed, like its Central Asian counterparts, of mud walls and mud houses, with an added story, which is often nothing more than a wattle fence plastered with mud, on the roof. Here live the women-folk, and hither the natives climb when the hot breath- lessness of the dark rooms below drives them to a Summer refuge beneath the stars.

CHICAGO, August 16.—Uncle Sam's ventures in prchibition and farm relief seemed certain tonight to be assured a prominent place in discussicns at the American Bar Assoclation’s ifty-third ! ;nnunl convention, opening here Mon- ay. A referendum is already under way, seeking to determine whether the asso- clation should take a stand on prohi- bition, and the Agriculture Commitiee has prepared a report attacking the Federal farm marketing act as “the first step toward & socialistic Soviet government. Convention officials estimated today that 3,000 lawyers from this country and from Europe and Canada would take part in the deliberations and hear addresses by an imposing group of| speakers, including Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes, Chairman George W. Wickersham of President Hcover's Law Enforcement Commission and promi- nent legal figures of France, England, the Irish Free State and Canada. The report on farm relief is expected to evoke partigularly spirited discussfon because of th¢ vigorous language of the committee. Attacking the measure trom the constitufional standpoint, the report comments that its purpose is not “to provide fof the general welfare” of all the peopl¢, but “to raise tne price of bread to/90 per cent of the people in order that 10 per cent may have a larger profit in producing It goes on to fay: “As lawyers we are not concerned with the economic fallacy of this ex- periment, foredoomed to failure—a fail- ure that' is already imminent; but as sworn defenders of the Constitution, its expounders and teachers, we are Ero- foundly concerned in preserving that form of Government which was in- tended to protect the individual, his life, liberty and property, and nothing | Shore. ¢ %0 en Asserting that the act could be de- fended because agriculture is a basic industry, the committee remarks that coal and oil, too, are basic industries and have the same claim to assistance. “Following this exmaple,” the report continues, “the Government should en- ®age in the coal business, appropriate a8 much money as necessary to buy all the surplus coal, store it until such time, if ever, that a coal board decides to un- load it, and thus make the miners and mine operators prosperous at the ex- pense of the rest of the people.” “Radio control and public utility regu- lation are among other questions which will occupy the delegates.
