States OF the country?
In Kentucky the production for
January OF this year was 1,9SO,OOO gal.
Ions, an against 100000 in January,
1914. For the same month this year
Pennsylvania distilled half a million
gallons less than In 1914, and the
whlskey output OF Maryland dropped
on 100000 gallons.
Good news or bad news, according
TO the point OF view. Prohibition IL

caused decline IN the demand fol
whIskey. Producers pooh-pooh the
idea, and say that the war and bust
ness conditions are TO blame.
Comparison OF figures for the las
two fiscal years ending June 30 show
progressive decrease In the amoun
OF whlskey distilled In each OF thes'
States mentioned. II would be rasl
to assert that Americans are less font

possible that the country Is not drink

Sex PrsludIes and Women.

Women having demonstrated their
qualification for legal practice by gJg
ing through law schools and passing
the bar examinations, all they now
need is clients, II seems, and one OF
their number makes feryent appeal
TO her sex TO rally TO the support OF
women lawyers. Speaking before the
League for Business Opportunities Tor
Women, Mrs. Helen Holly Greeley
said.
"The one way TO help the woman
lawyer and keep her from continuing
a pioneer Is by retaining her The
thing the woman lawyer lacks Is per
sonal private pull" and personal DO
litlcal pull" Men lawyers get work
from their men friends. Every woman
lawyer will tell you that the women
she knows will ask her advice to any
extent about legal matters and then
tell her what the lawyer whom she
employs does, but she doesn't engage
the woman lawyer to attend to her
legal business.
I Il must be said that men lawyers,
in securing the business OF their own
and the other sex. maintain a wholly
unfair monopoly. But are not women
themselves largely TO blamey That
they should prefer male lawyers I'M
plies a distrust on their part OF their
own sex as legal advisers.

PIucky Young A. & NJ. Cadet Believes

Youthful students OF half hundred
countries for centuries have been re-

TO the statement that this old saying
is something more than a mere empty
phrase.
Mr.. Boettcher, who Is known to ev'
cry one Of the 900 cadets at the A. q
NJ. College, is making his way through
college by selling CONNECTIONS. And
more than that. II business holds up
as well as It now is, under adverse
conditions, when Boettcher finishes
at the college in his four years OF

neat little sum stored up in a bank
or invested over and above all ex'
penses incident TO his college train

Attend a baseball or football game,
mass meeting or any sort OF gath
ering, and you will hear. "All right,
who's hungry now? Anybody else?
Crispettes are mighty fine" and other
cries that are calculated to awaken
pangs OF hunger in the 800 Texas
boys and TO stimulate business for
SKY Jack" And business Is good
with Boettcher. Every week he sells
from sixty to eighty dozen packages
OF crispettes, which are nothing more
than syrup-coated popcorn cakes, and
chocolates and everything else IL

TURKISH OCCUPATION
ENDS ALL CHANCE Of
PROGRESS IN LAND
Especial to Times-Recorder.)

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 90
Today's installment of the National
Geographic Society's war geography
deals with the Turkish peninsula of
Gallipoli. 1t says:
"Gallipoli peninsula, the Cherson-
esus Thracia of classical geography,
where one of the most powerful battle
fleets of all times is attacking, is the
spur defense of Turkey in Europe, the
best guarantee for centuries and the
last guarantee in the present of the
Ottoman Empires place among the
Great Powers. 1t is a fruitful land,
whose conditions at one time gave
promise of a world-important COM
mercial future. The Turkish occupa-
ton of 1857, however, cut off this
promise, and the land has remained
as much an obscure land to the twen-
tieth century as it was to the Greeks
of Pericles' Athens. The wonderful
water avenue which stretches behind
it toward the heart of Central Asia
has remained stagnant of all deyel-
opment.
"Gallipoli peninsula forms the Eu-
ropean bank of the Dardanelles. To
the north it is enclosed by the deeply
inGented Gulf of Saros. The soils OF
this district are exceedingly fertile
and well-adapted to agriculture. The
peninsula is a billy rib of land, fifty
FIVE miles in extent, and varying be-
tween three and thirteen miles in
breadth. 1t supports about 100000
people. 1t was the first section of
European land to come under the
domination of the crescent.
Wheat and maize are grown in con-
siderable quantities here. and are ex-
ported to the Aegean islands and to
Turkish ports. Barley, oats and lin
seed were raised largely for Great
Britain, and canary seed were export
ed to Australia. Turkish rule. how
ever, has been continual dead weight
upon its development. For example,

OTTOMAN COUNTRY HAS
A REMARKABLE HISTORY
RUNNING BACK TO BIBLE
fBy Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 20.-In
a paper telling something OF the Won
derful history of the lands over which
Turkey has ruled for many genera
lions, prepared for the National Geo.
graphic Society," William Joseph Show
alter gives some interesting facts
which ordinarily escape attention. He
reminds the reader that except when
Paul and his associates crossed the
Hellespont to Athens and Rome, the
entire Bible story, from Genesis to
Revelations, was lived in what has
been Turkey and calls attention TO
the fact that the great Empires of the
East the civilization of the Egyptians
and the Phoenicians, the glories OF By
zantium-all were planted on what has
been Turkish soil. He also shows how
King Sargon, ruling at the very dawn
of history, congratulated his empire
upon his success in bringing down the
high cost OF living. He says, in part;
mo other people possess lands Of
such wonderful historic interest as the
Turks. Occupying a region only
third as great in area as the United
States, they have yet territory whose
boundaries the greatest, the most in
fluential events in human history have
occurred. j. a
THE Bible, with little exception, is
an account of the doings of people who
never got beyond what have hitherto
been the confines o. Turkey. From a
single corner of the Ottoman Empire
arose the Babylon that in its day all
hut ruled the world. From that same
region envy and famine conspired TO
send the children of Abraham into
Egypt which until recently was en-
braced in the Empire of the Ottomans.
Thence. as they marched back from
Africa to Asia, through the Wilderness
of Sin to the Promised Land, they new
err once set foot off of what came to be
Turkish soil. And when the Star of
Bethlehem arose it stood over man
