B—6 %= BONDAGED WONEN REVEL I DIVORE Mohammedan Wives at Sarajevo Become Addicts Under Law. SARAJEVO, Yugoslavia (#).—Post- war laws; freeing the Mohammedan women of this region from bondage in which they were held for centuries, have also given them the right to de- mand a divorce, a right previously un- known to them. The new Mohammedan matrimonial laws are very liberal and to some ex- tent favor women, who have taken due cognizance of this fact. A simple statement before a Mohammedan mag- istrate is all tha® is necessary to con- clude a marriage. Another such state- ment suffices for a divorce. Numerous are the reasons for which a divorce can be obtained, foremost being mental cruelty and verbal in- sult. “I am tired of you"” a remark dropped by the husband in the heat of a quarrel, is sufficient, if brought to the attention of the magistrate, to get the wife a divorce and alimony from the husband. This accommodating divorce law, it 1s reported, has proved a great attrac- tion to the shrewder girls of Sarajevo, with a Mohammedan population of about 20,000. These girls marry elder- 1y, well-to-do men and subsequently demand a divorce on the ground of verbal insult. . Statistics indicate that approxi- mately 1,000 such divorces were grant- ed to Mohammedan women during 1934, and that some of the women involved hold records of 10 and 12/ marriages and divorces, some with ali- mony.

He shuffied along grumbling to himself. He had just had a bad fright and it had up- set him. He had been standing up in a clearing in the Green Forest and in the dusk Hooty the Great Horned Ow2, coming from behind him, had mis- taken him for a blackened stub of a tree. He had alighted on Buster’s USTER BEAR was out of sorts. Yes, sir, Buster was out of o “I DON'T KNOW WHAT I STAYED i OUT SO LATE FOR, ANYWAY,” | HE GRUMBLED. | the most startled. Even now Buster didn't know just what had happened. | He had not seen Hooty. All he mewl was that he had been struck on the | head, while sharp points had dug into his tough skin. Of course these were the claws of Hooty. So Buster was grumbling and complaining as he shuffled along. “I don’t know what I stayed out s0 late for anyway,” he grumbled. “I ought to have gone to bed for the Winter before this. There’s nothing | much to eat now and what little there is I have to do so much looking for that I just walk off what fat I laid up ' WSS S JORDAN $1 A WEEK BUYS The two-tub washer and dryer is the safest, easiest and quickest way to wash and dry your clothes.

The trouble is 1 can’t make up my mind where to go to bed this Winter. I'd like to use my old Winter home in the cave over the rocky ledge, but Mrs. Buster has taken it and she has two children with her. It's no use going over there, She’s terribly short-tempered when I come around where the children are. Sometimes I think children are a nui- sance. Thank goodness I don't have much to do with them.” If Buster had been quite honest he would have admitted that he had nothing to do with.them. As a father, Buster Bear is a total failure. His cubs are brought up by Mother Bear. In fact, if he should meet his own children without their mother along he wouldn't recognize them. If he should find them when they were very little he might even be tempted to make a meal of them. Mrs. Buster knows this, and so she shows her teeth if Buster happens around when the cubs are about. Buster respects these teeth and goes away. Buster shuffied along deeper into the Green Forest until he came to the ledge where the cave was. He sat down and stared at it and all the time he kept whimpering to himself. “That was my cave,” he whimpered. “I| want it. I've had enough of roaming about. It's getting too cold. There’s nothing to eat. There's no fun. I'm beginning to feel sleepy and I want | to go to bed. That's my cave. I ought to go in there and drive Mrs. Buster and the cubs out. I have half a mind to do this.” Now Buster didn’t have half a mind to do anything of the sort. That was just talk. After a little he shuffied off again. This time he went over to a great windfall. A windfall is, you know, a tangle of trees that have been torn up by the roots in some great storm. Buster had slept under a It really makes a very good place. You see, the snow when it comes, banks all over it and | makes it very snug and warm. It really is & most comfortable sort of place for one who has such a thick, warm coat as has Buster Bear. He stood a while lmklnz at the i‘¥ BB SR AT AR “SPECIAL - price. Corner 1 NW. STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., windfall, swinging his head from side to side and whining and complaining. He really had nothing to complain about. It is just a habit of his when things are not going exactly to suit him. If he hadn't wanted the cave for his home he would have been per- fectly satisfled with this windfall. I suspect that had Mrs. Buster chosen this windfall instead of the cave, Bus- ter would have wanted the windfall and not the cave. You see, Buster Bear is exactly like a lot of people in that he isn't particularly interested in a thing until somebody else wants it or takes it. People are funny that way. Take a thing that nobody else | wants and you are almost sure to find that it is much desired by others. (Copyright. 1935.) — British Savings.

To see any resemblance between this solemn creature and a harp, asks a good deal of us. It has neither the sweet voice of the musical instrument nor its shape. A name often used, saddle-back, is much better, and Greenland seal is still more appro- priate. Those of the younger generation resemble their cousins, the common seals, so closely that only their par- ents and experts can tell which is- which, As they grow older it is easy for even a novice to distinguish them. However, the most characteristic family mark is the black band on each side of the body, the ends al- most reaching the tall, while the two bands meet at the shoulder. There is also the mask of black across the ace. S A fully grown male is about 51 feet long. His mate is smaller and less decorated with black. You | can tell when the seal is 5 years old for not until then does he have his | full decorations. There are several changes of color and pattern up to this age so well recognized that the Greenlanders have a special name for each change. The babies are clothed in creamy white woolly coats, which they keep | for several weeks. Their cousins shed theirs in a few days.
