problems is set forth.

Berlin was provincial capital be-
fore the Franco Prussian war. Today
il is a world city, and unlike other
great European capitals, London, Paris,
vienna, Constantinople. 1t Is modern
town. It's foremost buildings are new
constructions. Its foremost monu-
ments celebrate such recent events as
the 1871 war. Its statues are to latter
nineteenth century men, such as Will
liam I, Bismarck, Moltke and Room,
and the Berlinese are as up-to-date a
population as those Of American cities.
Not for lack Of intelligent foresight
will Berlin fail to become the world
capital century hence.

WOMEN OF WASHINGTON
STRIVE FOR CLEANER CITY
Thoughtfulness on the Part of

Cleaner Washington.


This Is the slogan of the club women of

er that a little private thoughtlessness on
the part of many housekeepers becomes
public nuisance In the aggregate. TAX

ASK TO BE ALLOWED TO
WEAR THEIR TURBANS
East Indian Society Members Object
to Removing Headgear in I'M
migration Office.

Members of the khalsa Diwan Society.
composed of natives Of India, have ap-
pealed to the Department Of Commerce
and Labor to be relieved of the necessity
Of removing their turbans when they call
at the immigration Office at Vancouver,
Z. c., on business.
They say Gurn Nanak, their great
prophet, taught their early ancestors AL
ways to wear their turbans whenever en-
gagged in business transactions. They re-
gard the requirement Of the United States
immigration officers that they remove
their turbans as an insult to their re-
iigion, and they want to be relieved of
what they regard as an onerous obliga
ton.
Their lawyer, through whom the appeal
was presented, has been informed that
their request will be granted, but that in
granting it the department wishes IL to
be understood that 1t does not in any way
relieve East Indians of the requirements
of the law respecting thorough physi-
cal inspection when they first come to
this country or apply for admission. Their
turbans must be removed with their other
clothing then, that the examining phy-
sicians may determine whether or not
they are afflicted with disease of any
kind.
