The speaker calico attention to re-
cent entry by policemen into, re-

Activities Nationwide.

The scope of the activities of the
committee is nationwide, but Phila-
delphia was chosen because of its his
toric significance in the early life of
the Lutheran Church in America.
1t is intended that the celebration
shall be commemorative of the great
religious event OF the sixteenth CEN
fury, with an emphasis upon the prin-
ciples which have contributed SO large
ly to the worlds progress. The reli-
gious factor will. of course. be the
leading feature of the celebration. but
there are other phases of historic in
terest which will receive attention dur
ing the year 1917.

subject discussed at d meet
ing Of the East Washington Citizens

by Representative johnson Of Ken
lucky. and the other in the Senate by
Senator Hollis, il was explained by Mr..

To Meet Necessary Expenses.

Mr.. Adriaans also pointed out that by
provisions of the bill certain eXpendi
lures must be made out of the taxes
Of the District. and said, also, that it
is proposed to have zones about each
of the schools SO designated. He said
a surveyor would have to be employed
TO measure these zones and that this
would oe an additional expense.
Although che said he favored certain
parts of the bills now before Congress-
Mr.. Adriaans wanted others eliminated
He declared his intention of drafting
another bill which would embody what
he considered the good features of the
present bills, in addition to new ones,
whereby there would be no restrictions
placed on the number of schools and
that each section of the city take care
of the schools in it's section.
1t was voted to refer the matter to
the executive committee for considera-
ton.
c. Howard BuckIer. secretary Of the
association, also spoke on the subject
and urged that the members make an
effort to have such a bill passed by
Congress. The speaker also told of

The Silver Eek.

iirc silver fox is really q black fox,

mg almost white or a silver gray. The
name is given on account Of the pres
enre of gliStening white and grayish
hairs which appear among the black.
ln the better grades the long, silky
brush has a tip Of pure white. About
q quarter Of century ago the little
animal. which weighs when full grown
only about twelve pounds, became al
most extinct Because Of the beauty
OF its fur the species was trapped un-

Honolulu.-The reforesting OF now
barren Kahoolawe island, in the Ha-

territorial board OF agriculture, the
members OF which, after a visit to the
small islet heretofore designated IN
suitable for settlement. decided to be-
gin the work of planting algaroba
trees there.
1t is recommended a portion Of the
island swept by the strong trade winds
be fenced to prevent depredations by
sheep and wild goats. Members OF the
board say the introduction Of horses
on the island would assist In the dis
tribution of seed.
1t is also proposed to construct sew
eral large reservoirs to conserve the
rainwater that falls so plendfully at
all times. Algaroba trees planted there
ten years ago have reached a substan-
tial growth.

WAR EMhHGIPATES

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES the allies aban-
doned the Dardanelles attack Constan-
tinople has become normal and is now
Is far removed from the theater Of
war as any big city In neutral coun-
tries. The cafes and motion picture
houses are well attended, and the thea
ters are crowded. Recently there was
q big first night in the Petit Champs,
the occasion being the performance Of
q French comedy. The actors were
Turks, but the actresses were all Ar
menians, as Turkish women are not
yet permitted to appear on the stage,
but the general opinion is expressed by
all thinking Turks that before long
their women will make their first ap-
pearance as actresses.
The emancipation Of women in Tur-
key has made remarkable progress
since the beginning Of the war. In the
best society in Constantinople the wo-
men no longer wear their wells when
receiving their guests. Though wells
continue to be worn by the Turkish
women In the street. still the fashion
has made them so fimsy and transpar-
ent that they might Just as well be dis
pensed with.
Consequently all the fascination and
mystery that heretofore has surround
cd the harem has suddenly disappeared.
There Is no longer any such thing, and
In its place there is simply the usual
family life. The Turkish woman IS as
much housewife as her European sis
ter, and in this war her resources have
been taxed to the utmost. Despite the
fact that the rich agricultural country
Of Anatolia is not far distant. the prices
Of all necessaries OF life have increased
enormously.
Turkey has awakened from its long
lethargy, and the war has brought q
new life in the empire. Progress Is
now the keynote. and the indications
are that within few years CONSTANT
nople viii be one of the most advanced
cities In the world.
