EVEN BUSINESS - HAS TS DRAAS Hollywood Unable to Get Away From Atmosphere Hollywood, Cal.,, July 30. — Even business is dramatic in Hollywood. Here, where comedy and tragedy are wound on reels and put in tin cans for shipment to all the world, the buying of a dozen buns is a scenic adventure and the purchase of a quart of ice cream is like go- ing to a play. Several years ago a motion ple- ture set designer, Harry Oliver, | conceived the idea of dramatizing the bakery business. He designed | a Dutch windmill shop for a chain | bakery, and now there are more | windmills flapping their wings in | and about Hollywood than Don | Quixote tilted at in his whole life- time. And that was only the beginning. One of the latest ventures of the kind is a chain of ice cream freez- ers with ever-turning cranks, so big that one can walk into the freezer and name one's flavor. There Is a real estate office in Hollywood built like the Egyptian Sphinx, and in Beverly Hills, which Mayor Will Rogers calls “the de- cent end of Hollywood,” one can buy residential lots in a broker's office patterned after King Tut- ankh-amen's tomb. Across the street from a Los Angeles hotel Jargely patronized by film folk is a cafe that looks like a brown derby. Paying rent in picturesque sur- roundings s particularly popular. 1t @ motion picture studio builds an Ttallan street for a certain picture it is only a matter of weeks before someone builds and offers for rent an Ttallan village bungalow court. Even the billboards along the | motor highways are giving way to statuary which advertises milk, gasoline, or motion pictures. Behind this billboard statuary is a story. Two brothers from St. Paul, makers of shoes, came to California less than two years ago to start a shoe factory. They lost a fortunc, but became acquainted in Hollywood with sculptors em- ployed by motion picture studios to make the plaster statuary and other art “props” wused in the dressing of sets. Whereupon the brothers, F. G. and C. F. Carling, forgot about shoes and began the manufacture of plaster statuary as an advertis- ing medium. Now their statues line the highways hereabouts and are spreading to other Pacific Coast cities. EQUAL RIGHTS IS GOALOF FAIR SEX Tarkish Women Carrying on| Campaign Constantineple, Turkey, July 30 (P—Turkish women have started a campaign for equal political rights and have adopted for their slogan | the expression “from harem to par- lament.” In the press and National Assem- bly are echoes of the speeches and | mass mesticgs of the Stamboul | Women's Union and the activity of | its fiery, bronze-haired president, Nezthe Mouhieddine, in campaign- ing for the election of the Union's leading masculine supporters as deputies to the National Assembly. A delegation of five members of the union, beaded by President Mouhieddine, is preparing a peti- tlon for the franchise which will be presented to Kemal Pasha. It re- minds him of his TIneboli speech two years ago when he made his first proclamation of emancipation for women with his historic cry of “Let Turkish women look the world in the face and let them | show their faces to the world!” The petition will bring up the point that the world includes ballot | hoxes and parliaments and that Turkish women are ready to look both in the face. The Stamboul Women's Unlon has adopted “Black” Fatma Hanem for its mascot during the campaign. €he is one of the many Anato- llan women who served as soldiers | throughont the war against Greece. For bravery and skill as a soldier | she was premoted to the rank of sergeant. The Constantinople suffragists | noint to her In reply to the arg nents that women do not deserve the same political rights as since they do not have the military prowess of men.

EVEN POOR FISH HAS HIS OWN DAY Goolidge Elevates Finny Rascal Into Headlines Washington, July 30 the poor rish has his day. | Since President Coolidge has | given him the status of a Presi- dential Hobby he has risen from | second place on the menu to the| head of columns in newspapers | and has been enabled to show the | nation and a number of statesmen just what can be done with the worm that turns. As a result, fishing may yet turn the quiet pools of the land into po- litical whirlpools. Already states- men and politicians who have an eye on the White House or hope to contribute generously to ti noise on the hand wagon have greased their rods and reels to con- test the fame of the president as an angler. Vice President Dawes has plan- ned two fishing trips. They are by no means the first he has planned, before and after taking office. Many a fish has been raised from obscurity on the vice presidential reel. He expects to try his luck this year in New Mexico, after which he will cast his lot with the public men assembling near the presidential waters in the streams of Nebraska, just over the line from South Dakota. Senator Beorah, having taken no- tice of the president’s famous trout catch with a worm, has gone (P—Even | to his home waters in Idaho to | demonstrate what a chalrman of the senate foreign relations com- | mittee can do in the way of fishing | without a worm. { Not to be outdone by the repub- | licans, ‘Senator Robinson of Arkan- sas, whp claims to have fished in | more waters than any man in na- | tional politics, has arranged nu- merous fisking excursions, deter- mined to prove that he not only can lead the democrats in angling for advantage in legislative fields, but can lead statesmen, all and sundry, In angling for trout in promising waters. | Other senatorial devotees of the | sport include Moses of New Hamp- | shire, Harrison of Mississippi, | Steck of Jowa, Caraway of Arkan- | sas and Shipetead of Minnesota. | Rising to the support of the ex- | ecutive branch of the government | will be Attorney General Sargent Postmaster ~ General New, | while the Supreme Court will be | represented in the game by Asso- ciate Justice Van Devanter at his summer home in the Canadian Lakes.

(#»—Texas and Arizona, in the heart of the cactus country, are learning the val- ue of this unfriendly and apparently useless desert plant. Confectioners are selling cactus candy and cactus sundaes and pro- hibition officers are endeavoring to curb the illicit traffic in sotol and mescal made from cactl. Souvenir canes and napkin rings are fashion- ed from the “devil’'s walking stick,” which also furnishes material for building corrals and yard fences. Growers of this region now are en- gaged in exporting cacti to other states, especially Florida, for dec- orative purposes. Desert Indians for years have known the valus of the barrel cac- tus, sometinges called “well of the desert.” It is pleated like an ac- cordian, which enables it to store a large amount of water by ex- panding during the rainy season.
