That One Good Thing Has Come
Out of Turkey.

Eski Scheir, in ASiatic Turkey, has
one unique claim upon public in
terest, and if one is a smoker that
claim is compelling one. 1t is the
home of meerschaum. Meerschaum
in abundance, is found only on the plain
of Eski Scheir, and this city produces
all the marketable meerschaum in the
world.
Meerschaum, as its name implies, Is
supposed to he petrified seafoam. and
has been discovered floating on the
Black sea. Apart from the Eski Schelr
mines it occurs in Greece. Samoa,
Spain, Moravia, Utah, Pennsylvania,
and. in conjunction with serpentine,
in Norway and South Carolina.
The ancients are said to have used
it as decorative stone in buildings,

leable like clay when soaked in water.
Meerschaum used to be considered n
mere curiosity by the Turks, who had
no other use for it than as substi-
tute for fullers soap. The story runs
that the Turkish ambassador at the
Austrian court, in the eighteenth CEN
fury, was Il native of Eski Scheir.

great poverty, he took sample of this
queer stuff to Vienna, thinking that

Parkhurst before whom she is appear
ing for divorce from the husband of
her romantic youth.
With her heart filed with romance
and the promise of happiness, Mary
Williams, q daughter of DR.. John A.
Williams, a Puyallup physician, was
married to Marvin Parkhurst in 1917,
and after a short honeymoon to rela-
tives and friends the couple repaired
to the husbands homestead in Mon
tana, where, as she told the judge, her
romance was shattered.
In a log cabin u feet long and 10
feet wide, with a dirt floor and bed
made with drygoods boxes supporting
a pair of springs, a table improyised
by mailing a board to the inner walls
of the hut, and no chairs, the bride
soon realized that her love was to be
put to the severest test.
But when II was known that the
stork would soon pay them a visit
and no medical assistance arranged
for because her husband was a Chris.
tan Scientist, life became an unbear-
able burden. All the heat and glow
OF rosy life of love and devotion she
had pictured to herself was broken and
she fed with babe in arms TO her near

Parkhurst Is contesting the divorce
on the ground that his wife knew Of
the conditions when she married him.

THE PRESS AGENTS SAY
LYRIC.

The best melo- drama ever writ ten" is the consensus of everybody who has seen the stirring production, 'The Girl Who Came Back" now be- ing presented by the Pon Players at the' Lyric theatre to large and appre- ciative audiences twice daily. The play Is one of those possessing the peculiar facility of holding the atten- ton of any audience from the time the curtain rises until Its final thud and the Players in their manner of presentation are adding much to it's interest. The production tells a story replete with heart interest and nearly every line registers pathos or humor.
 'The Girl Who Camo Pack" is par ticuary interesting because it shows that no matter how difficult obstacles may be they can be surmounted even by n woman. The heroine is beset by all sorts of difficulties after her re- lease from states prison, but she overcomes them all fin her own way and at last finds herself recognized in society with the best. and married to the son of a wealthy man whose family is glad to receive her as one Of them.
 Irish plays are always interesting not alone because of the quaint hu nor they introduce but because of the pretty love story which is nearly al- ways interwovep with the rest of it. Such a production is My Irish Rose" which makes its debut in the theat- rical world at the matinee on Mon day for presentation twice daily for the balance of the week. My Irish Rose is both dramatic and humorous and contains much pertaining to the Bolshevist evil which is rapidly gain inE strength in this and other coun- tries Miss Alice Clements win again appear in the leading role and her many friends will be pleased to give her greeting next week.

Review.)
 When Jacobs & Jermon planned fer the season that comes officially to an end tomorrow night they were con- fronted with the gigantic problem of not only securing a good book, catchy numbers. graceful dances and pretty choristers. but also of finding a com edian. whom they could send over the Columbia circuit with the assurance of succeeding, coming back and going out next year as the featured mem Der of the company And the eff ciency firm of J. & J. have succeeded.
 Their Sporting Widows" opened g. three-day engagement at the Park yesterday and if the hilarity created by Joe Brown, the find" is to be taken as prophetic of anything. the show is without doubt right up to the high standard that burlesque has at tained. It is a thoroughly entertain ing production with catchy and tune full numbers. attractively carried out by principals and chorus alike. The chorus, while not the typical Broad way troupe that opened the season in Providence last August. is neverthe- less 8 hard working aggregation or pretty gals" It's the best chorus J. & T. have sent out with the ''Wid- ows' in many years.
 But 1t is the work of the princ1palS that brings out the show one of the best on the wheel. Harry Cooper is the featured comedian, but the fact remains that he is kept in the back ground by the splendid work of Joe Brown. But Harry should worry. This is his last last season with the Widows" He has made the "Wid- ows" and now he will retire in favor of Brown, who prior to entering on a stage career. was ball player. Brown will be featured with the show next and rightfully so, too. It's been a long, long time since a new com edian took such a secure hold on bur lesque patrons in year as thisH ec- centric has.

However, he does not work so hard. Yet he wins over his audience with comparative ease.

Julia opened with the show and went as far as New York when Chamberlain Brown signed her and placed her in Broadway productions. The show misses Miss kelety.
