Instead Of electing officers for each CLUB

gcther and elected one group Of officers

the uniting Of the two clubs into one or
g,.nization. The officers elected Saturda V

FORCE-OF-HABI WHISTLING,

From the Providence Journal)
In the new city Of Attleboro a CAM
paign against unnecessary noises is in
progress The Chamber of Commerce be-
licves that the old custom OF blowing
shop whistles morning, noon and night
Should be abolished and that there
should be no protrncted discussion on tire
question of silencing the steam whistles.
The discontinuance OF the ancient prac-
tee would subject no one to inconver-
icnce and would save considerable steam,
during the year for work in engine cylin-
dcrs.
Probably In nearly every New England
city the people are disturbed ny stea IN
whistles. Some are blown IA early AZ Ave
o'clock in the morning. rhe discordant
noises serve no useful purpose, because
the use OF clocks and watches is univer
sal. Whistling was stopped on the rail-
roads many years ago except I'm cases
Of emergency, and travellers find no diff
ficulty In getting aboard the trains with
out the help of shrek from the loco
motive
The wonder is that the public did not
object to the shop and factory whistles
twenty years ago II AttleborO succeeds
In stopping the din, other communities
may be encouraged to take up the work
Of abolishng practice which simply
represents force Of habit.

CONDITIONS IN TURKEY.
Interesting Address by ID. 4. Davis of
COnstantinopIc Y. VI. &. A..

An instructive address on The chang
ing Conditions in Turkey was given in
y VI. G.. \. hall Sunday afternoon by
y. A. Davis, general secretary Of the
Young Mems Christian association in
Constantinople. Turkey. The people in
this country are surprisingly unacquant-
I'd with the conditions and the peoples of
Turkey. When the old order prevailed. ii
was true that men We're trailed by spies
and even the spies We're trailed by other
spies to see that they We're doing tnc'r
work properly. The old sultan made
business of setting the different national
tiles in mis- land against each other, for
he knew that a $ long as they fought each
other they would be unable to oppose
his own tyranny with any success.
Since the constitution Was granted.
however. all this has changed. Turkey
was progressing so well recently that
bout the time she was dragged into the
present war. her friends were really he
coming hopeful of her future. Turkey is
to he pitied The question is often asked.
What will become Of Turkev?' The
Turks. themselves. answer, God knows
Hardly person Is to ne found who has
a good word for that unfortunate coun-
try. Since the revolution. schools have
been established and in many other ways
the Turks have tried to have their Coun-
try catch M with other and modern ma
tons
Contrary to general belief, the Turks
are kindhearted and hospitahe But thu
have no national snirit In Constant
nople where they are one and a Guartcr
million Inhabitants there are = commu-
mites with each its own language and ma
tional blood Each has its own affairs
to manage. independent and Jealous Of
the others The whole Turkish empire u
held together by mere force. Even o.
Turk sees no reason for doing anNthlnt
for his country or his city.
The natural assumption in going t.
Turkey. would be that after learning thu
Turkish language a man would be equip
ped to deal with anyone Mr., Davis has
already learned five languages, and still
feels the need of knowing more. To add
to the difficulties of tongue and national
icalousies are the customs. For instance.
it took nine months to buy a piece OF rval
estate for the association building because
| of the habit of ba rganing. The seller sets
his price VIGOROUSLY high, the would-be
buyer offers below what he might pay.
For nine months bargaining progressed
till both parties had met in practical
| compromise.
