He married Latife oun, the beautiful daughter of a yrna millionaire, who, on her wedding day, publicly appeared in a dashing Paris own; whereupon, all the eligible women Turkey went to yelling for freedom in ss. Moreover, Mrs. Kemal at once put therself at the head of a movement for the complete emancipation of Turkish omen, and what Turk husbands have lad to suffer was plenty. But Kemal Pasha is no fool. He real- that, if some millions of women, down-trodden and made to grovel from hildheod up, got a hold on free dress and ee politics, they would put a spice in ital and political life that no mere man could stand. So, as no gentleman of these advanced times will hang his wife, he sim- ply divorced Latife, after a Turkish fash- ion that is really quite as reformatory renovating as hanging, so far domestic poise is concerned.

ITING is just hard work,” mod- estly says Corra Harris, who writes ; well indeed. Of course it is more than that. Most people cannot write well, ‘Just as they cannot draw or sing well, no latter how hard they work. _ But also, no one, however talented, can _ write well without hard work. Language easy to read is necessarily hard to write. nd the knowledge, the thought, the feel- ing, the imagination, the observation and experience of life, without which there is ing to write about—these come only after exceedingly hard work. Writing is a talent, a trade, an art and & life.

Another term is needed for | those who take the 18th amendment rather lightly. Scoflaw covers too much ground; it could apply to one who parks overtime, for instance. In recent months the term “practicing prohibitionist” has come into use to indi- cate a person who not only “believes in | dry laws for the country at large, but for himself personally. In other words, a prac- ticing prohibitionist a prohibitionist who doesn't drink, He is, in fact, an “inhibitionist” as well a prohibitionist. If an educational cam- paign could acquaint the country with the word inhibitionist as thoroly as it knows prohibitionist, we might get the short word we need. The trouble is, of course, that most people have the instinct to pro- hibit much more developed than the instinct to inhibit. We'd rather make others be good than be good ourselves, that is to say. “Prohi” has: done duty for years as an abbreviation of prohibitionist. “Inhi” might become the short form of inhibi- tionist. Keep in mind, however, that an nhibitionist is not necessarily a prohi- bitionist. There are some good citizens who follow what they consider the cor- rect course without ever trying to make others accept it, either by law or other- wise, But, when you've got an inhibitionist who is also a prohibitionist, couldn't you call him an “inhi-prohi’? It pronounces more easily than it looks and it certainly is much shorter than “practicing prohibi- tionist.” Well, that takes care of the dry prohi- bitionists, but what about the scoflaws? “Anti-inhi-prohi” takes up too much room, Tt sounds like that campaign song of 1896: “We are the Repubo-Prohi-Populistic- Democrats!” It certainly is hard to name those non- believing, unreconstructed rebels who can't get over the idea that they want a drink when they want it! You Maybe is When Silence Was Golden T the ninth international prison con- ference, just concluded in London, Home Secretary Hicks presented figures showing a remarkable decrease in crime, in England. An American representative attended the conference, but said little. It was one of the occasions when the American representative protected his nation’s re- pute for wisdom by keeping his mouth shut and performing largely as an “offi- cial observer,” Pretty Weak Ne y rate, the Conservative British are our cousins in the matter of let- tin election promises slide. Parliament, just adjourned to November 16, did little or nothing in respect of such problems as state of trade, unemployment, housing and protective tariff; and about half the country seems disgusted over its subsidy to coal operators and its cruiser building program. Apparently the only big thing done was the restoration of the gold standard, and that was largely due to the courage of the British cabinet. 2 | ready inhabited by people who had | attained a certain degree of civiliza-| our country | {12% while about 5000 B.

That is important, certainly. But it isn’t the whole story. True cleanness in gasoline means much more than physical cleanness. Associated Gasoline is distilled in such a way as to be given a scientifically correct “chain” or series of “Dosling points.”’ Starting with the more volatile parts, these boiling points gradually rise, in unbroken sequence, on up through the heavier or power-producing parts or “fractions.” That is why Associated ignites instantly and “burns” or explodes com- pletely, thus yielding a// the power there is in each “charge.” This is trve gaso- line cleanness, only suggested by the sparkling clearness of Associated Gasoline.
