Who Wants To Be
a Young WOm In
Land of The Turks

Some extremely modern young
women, who mistake symptoms for
the causes of woman's independence,
should make a our of Turkey" sug-
gests a bulletin from the Washington
headquarters Of the National GEO.
graphic Society.
There women smoke, have mad
property rights for centuries, and
divorce is easy, but whom all re-

The toys of the Turkish harems

true, but considerable pity for them
has been misdirected. For example,

concentration under the kaiser.
The bulletin quotes from a COM
m~unieation by Mary Mills Patrick,
which gives q vivid picture OF the
condition of Turkish before
the world war, as follows:

This Coming Season
at Public Library

According to all the plans which
are being made by the different
Americanization and welfare clubs
throughout the city the club rooms
in the basement of the local public
library are in for a busy winter"
New clubs which will take in respec-
lively the numerous sects and social
divisions throughout the city are now
being organized under the direct SUI
pervision of Mrs. Cruise. Under her
capable and wise guidance the work
and future welfare of these clubs is
assured.
The newest of these clubs is made
up of a group of girls of the Hunga-
rian Slavish Greek Catholic church
of st. John the Baptist. They met
about twenty strong Tuesday night
in the Parish House of their church.
Committees were appointed to
make up a constitution and also for
the presentation of James for the
election of officers. 1t was decided
to meet last Monday, the first Mon
rooms in the library next Tuesday
evening. They have organized the
club for their personal improvement
and also to do what they can for the
community at large.
This club room at the library has
been furnished with the furniture
which was formerly in the Girls Club
rooms In 101 Smith street. The
wicker furniture and the surrounding
features give the room a real club
and yet home-like air.
The schedule which will include all
the clubs throughout the city along
these lines has not been announced
as yet but will be shortly, it Is expect
ed that the club room will be in use
every evening and some afternoons
throughout the week.

Urge Ex- Service Men
to Attend These Dances

The dances which are held semi
weekly under the auspices of the
Girls Division of the local War Camp
Community Service have not up to
the present beer frequented by many
ex~-service men. It seems to be the
feeling of the man who has left his
khaki or blue uniform behind that
henceforth and forever he is, as he
expresses 1t, out of the service
dance" One of the main objects in
the erection of this dancing pavilion
is for the use of it in building up
community spirit. At these dances,
of course, any man in uniform is
welcome but so also Is any former
service man who wishes to have a
pleasant evening similar to those of
the war days with the luxury of a
civilian suit Of clothes.
Tomorrow night the floor will be
in ship shape and the floor is un-
usually good for dancing and the
music will be furnished by a4real
jazz orchestra. Dancing will start at
