The Real TURK.

An insight into the character of the
modern Turk is afforded by Harry
Charles Lukach in his book, The City
of the Dancing DerviShes and Other
Studies From the Near East" Speak
ing Of the Turk as the author knows
him, he says:
For parental authority he entertains
a deep regard. A grown up Turk who
is lax enough to drink wine will usu-
ally hesitate to do so in the presence
of his father. Similar diffidence is
even shown sometimes with regard to
smoking. Near relationship does not
engender what the Turks regard as
unseemly familiarity. Turks address
their elder brothers by the titles of
Agha or Agha beyi, their sisters as
Abba, scarcely ever by name unless
the difference in age is very slight.
They obey seriously the injunctions of
their faith as to charity, and the soli-
darity of Islam does not permit them
to suffer coreligionists to starve. Fur
thermore, they do not blaspheme"

Mile a Minute Hydroplane.

Commodore James a. Pugh, the mil
honaire Chicago sportsman, has started
construction 81 twenty foot hydro
plane into which he will crowd 1000
horse power.
The new boat, to be christened Dis
turber v, will be, by all odds, the most
heavily powered twenty foot hydsO-
plane in the world, and Commodore
Pughs experiments are watched by
speedbOat men with immense interest.
The new boat is designed by Ned Sim
mons of Chicago, who planned the
Disturber ", which went to England
last year and was deprived of the OPP
portunity of lifting the Harmsworth
international trophy by the outbreak
of the war, which caused the cancella-
ton of the race. He expects the new
Disturber to turn sixty miles per hour.
The twenty footer has twenty-four
cylinders.

Oriqin of Road Rules.

The origin of the rule for pedestrians
to keep to the right dates back to a
period when such things as roads were
unknown. Before the road as we know
it existed progress from place to place
was accomplished by means of tracks
or paths, used in common by mounted
and foot wayfarers. AS in early days
every traveller carried his life in his
hands and saw in every approaching
stranger potential enemy. so the I'M
armed man either retreated from the
path or was beaten from it by an adj
vancing stranger, if the latter were
armed. When two armed men met,
with shield on left arm and sword in
right hand. they of necessity passed
each other on the right, so as to bring
shield to shield, thus completely shell
tered. but with the sword arm ready
to strike if needed--London Globe.

Kings Foresight.

Johnny King when he was a major
league baseball catcher believed that
idleness did not pay. Consequently
the eX-Cub today is earning more mon
ey than he did when he was a member
of the worlds championship Chicago
club. He is a billiard expert and in
addition owns a handsome billiard
room in, Kansas City. And all this
came about because he refused to be
idle.
81 found that l liked billiards when
l was a young man and devoted my
spare time to that game. l did not do it
merely as recreation, but with the idea
that l would learn the game and the
business and devote my time to it in
the off season and when l quit base
ball. Billiards is a scientific pastime,
requiring a good eye and steady nerve.
That is ideal recreation for a ball
player"

At Homes In Egypt.

The method of serving light refresh
ments during an afternoon call among
people in Egypt is somewhat peculiar
and may not be generally known TO
the English people at home. tray
is brought in bearing one or more va
rieties of jam or sweetmeats, num-
Der of glasses containing water and
spoons corresponding to the number
of guests present. As the tray is car
ried around each person takes one OF
the spoons and, after helping himself
to a spoonful of jam, places the used
spoon In one of the glasses of water.
Sometimes biscuits and cakes are also
offered The custom appears to be OF
ancient origin. 1t might be thought
that one bowl or glass would suffice
for the used spoons. but custom die
tates that each person must have a
separate glass in which to put the
used spoon. The glasses contain pure
water, which the guests may drink
should they so desire. London Tit

IIIuSIOnS.


An illusion is something we believe
in so much that we prefer it to reality.
Happiness is the ability to create and
maintain ones illusions on a paying
basis.
Every illusion should be properly
supported. Some people are so mean
that when an illusion rings their bell
and asks for board and lodging they
slam the door in its face.
1t is better to maintain one or two
illusions in good style, giving them
constant care and nourishment, than
it is to have so many that you have to
fit too often from one to another
Without illusions we should lay so
much stress on reality that life would
not be worth living. Reality itself is
the biggest illusion of all. but the most
Improbable. because it is the only one
that pays no return on the investment.
Life without illusions is like bird
without wings.-Life.

Thackeray and the Eggs.

Of Thackeray that at his first Ameri-

dish Among the array Of things
placed before him was a goblet filed
with something that he failed TO recog-

MARATHON RULE TOO
DRASTIC FOR YANKEES
international Rule May be Dis
regarded by A. A. U. in
American Races.

LonE-dstance runners and persons
athletics have started squabble oyer
the law incorporated by the Amateur
Athletic Union in the code of rules now
being voted upon by the Board of Gov
ernors of the organization, which pro-
hibits a marathon runner from recelv-
ing assistance of any kind while COM
peting in race.
When the Boston A. A. scheduled its
annual American marathon run from
Ashland to Boston on April 10 (Patriots'
Day), it notified all prospective con-
testants that each man would be ac-
companied by a blcyclist who would
render him all the necessary assistance.
At the time the a. A. u. rules We're not In
force. The protest against this regula-
tion of Il. Il. Babb, of the Boston A. A.,
and delegate to the National A. A. u,
reached Secretary Frederick w. Ruben,
who, like tho Boston representative, be-
lieves marathon runner should be per-
mitted to have an attendant Mr.
Ruben advised Mr.. Babb to write all
the governors of the Amateur Union
asking them to veto the rule covering the
and yesterday he received
word from Boston that the regulation ap-
peared to be doomed.
In the meantime, however another
rule was found in the new code which
gives the referee the authority to decide
whether runner can receive assistance.
This is the regulation which probably
will remain on the books in place of the
more drastic clause.
