Everybody welcome
This announcement did not say
when or where this meeting would be
held. Nearly every day announce

detail that they would not tell any
thing if The Day Book did publish
them, and then the senders howl that
we are not handling their announce

Many announcements are so poor
ly written especially when on post
cards-that it is impossible to de-
cipher them. Not a few reach this

Why They Wax In Circles.


eff you were lost in a desert or Ii
forest and tried to find your way out"
says q well known scientist, you
would be almost sure to walk In a
circle This well known fact is due
to a slight inequality in the length Of
the legs. Careful measurements Of a
series Of skeletons have shown that
only 10 per cent had the lower limbs
equal In length. 30 per cent had the
right limb longer than the left, while
In So per cent the left limb was the
longer.
The result Of one limb being longer
than the other will naturally be that a
person will unconsciously take longer
step with the longer limb. and eonse-
quently will trend to the right or left,
according as the left or right leg Is the
longer The left leg being more fire.
quently the longer. the inclination
should take place more frequently to
the right than to the left, and this con-
clusion is quite borne out by observa-
lions made on a number of persons
when walking blindfolded. The In
equality in the length of limb is not
confined to any sex or race, but SEEING

Constantinople.-Sin the allies aban-

the occasion being the performance of
a 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
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 ConStaDtinople 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 flimsy and transpar-
ent that they might just as well be dis
pensed with.
Consequently all the fascination and
mystery that heretofore has surround
ed 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
new life in the empire. Progress is
now the keynote. and the indications
are that within a few years CONSTANT
nople win be one Of the most advanced
