is a question that is often answered

In paradise for women, The most
often quoted is the one promising the
faithful that he Will meet in paradise
besides his own earthly wives seventy.

pect for the poor women, who have
suffered enough In this life from the
humlliatlons Of polygamy, But In
the fourth Sura we find the following
more definite statement: But whose

male or female and is true believ.

Turkish Soldiers Without F.,.,

For the first time. we read, the Turk
ish soldier is going to war without
the fez. Mahmud H., when he changed
the uniform OF his army, tried TO in
troduce the shake. but the opposition
of the soldiers was too strong for
him. The fez Is certainly a poor GOV.

even the change of its color to khaki
did not get over its feeblenexs as a
protection against sun or bad weather.
Hence the headshawl devised some
time ago to be worn twisted around
the fez. The Turks devotion to the
fez is clearly explained by Duckett

A typical American family is
