HAREMS ARE FEW IN TURKEY
Takes Advantage Of Plural Mar
rlages-Poiygamy Is Rare.

Constantinople.-Th exists in
Europe and America q mistaken no
ton that almost every married Turk
has several wives. that he is at lib
erty to marry as many times as he
likes, and that 1t is for him Just as
easy to divorce a wife as to change
an overcoat. Polygamy in Turkey Is
the exception, and not the rule, the
majority of the Osmanlis having but
one wife. In the metropolis itself
polygamy does not amount to five
per cent 1t is rarely met with in
other big centers of the Ottoman en-
pire, save among the richest and most
powerful functionaries, and even
then plurality of wives is an excep-
ton.
The legal number of wives Is four.
Only the padishah and caliph is al
lowed to have more, being a person
beyond and above limitations and re-
strictions of that kind. The prophet
Mohammed had seven wives, and Ali,
the fourth in the succession of the
caliphate, had nine.
One of the chief causes Of the plu-
rality of wives being so rare among
the Turks is that, while the prophet
and the Koran permit the faithful
worshipers of Islam to marry four
times, they also provide strict injunc-
lions of a religious and ethical ma

Why CHILDREN TELL STORIES
EgotIsm and Vanity Are Chief Causes
of Falsehoods and Habit Is
Difficult One to Cure.

Boston.-How lying children can be
cured and the habit prevented was
told by Rev. Robert Swickerath, s. J..
professor of pedagogy in Holy Cross
college, in one of ten lectures he de-
hvered before the Catholic teachers
ton college.
Liars must not be taken either too
lightly or too seriously" he said, "but
every means must be taken by educa-
tors to cure them"
Prevention he regards as more i'm
portant than the actual curing, yet in
every case lying will crop out from
time to time, requiring the utmost
care, prudence, vigilance and tact of
the best teachers. Said he:
Lying should above all, be pre-
vented. Much can be prevented by
prudence and tact and by systematic
treatment of children. If a child has
caused any disturbance and the teach
err especially one who Is known to
infiict invariable severe punishments,
angrily charges him with the offense,
the child will usually deny the deed
in sheer excitement. One lie leads
to another
"A teacher as a rule should not
Immediately insist on arguing the
case but await q better opportunity
until the child has Gained down. A
teacher who is generally sympathetic
patient, judicious in inquiries, reas-
enable in punishment, will seldom be
told lie.
1T is much more difficult to assign
general remedies for the cure of the
habit of lying. Here, as in other
cases, a specific remedy is needed
1t is important to know that the lies
are different according to- the source
from which they flow.
'The most common of all lies is
that arising from sheer egotism. Lies
are used to shield one from censure
and punishment as the umbrella is
employed to protect one from rain
and hail. Sometimes the source is
vanity; children boast at times even
of wickedness, to appear bold before
comrades.
1T is certain that some given to
lying, when once thoroughly aware OF
the disgracefulness of this habit, con.
ceived such a horror against it that
| they became Disguised with every
thing dishonest and developed charac
tiers known. for uprightness and hon
esty."

The great increase In the use OF

TO the boost In population. The
manufacturers say that they are

At the present time there Is a bet

In times gone by. The candy Is also
being sold in more sanitary con-

For instance, much of the best

impressive style. The capital and
surplus employed in the banking ousi-
ness in Detroit have more than dou-
bled during the past ten years. and
Detroit bankers have met the difficult
situation brought about by the rapid
growth OF business with consummate
skill. steering a safe course between
too much conservatism. such as might
have held back the growth without
warrant, and the danger OF being car
ried away by the wave OF speculation
into risks that could not realize the
optimism OF the enthusiastic promot-
ers.
In the recent critical period In the
automobile industry Detroit banks
were found absolutely unframed and
performed a great service TO the coun-
try in helping TO avert panicky
state OF mind despite the pessimism
that emanated from eastern banking
centers. Detroit banking institutions
are rapidly coming TO rank among the
big factors In the financial AFFAIRS OF
the country.
