Here is a piece of documentary evi.
dence to prove the need of opening
the doors of the old Turkish empire
to free commercial intercourse with
the western world. This method of
irrigation ditching is used today in
northern Mesopotamia. The men do
not even use first-class shovels. The
British have introduced many new
agricultural implements, but most of
the work done In the fertile plains of
Mesopotamia is typical of the days Of
Moses.
That rich region. as well as many
other parts of the old Turkish en-
pire. need only the modern machinery
of America and western Europe to
make it produce wonderful crops. IT.
rigation is the first problem in Meso-
potamia.

Women's clubs in Philadelphia, in
making plans for their fall work, are
centering their attention on movements
for city and state betterment, with par
ticular attention to the welfare of won
en- and children.
While definite programs have not been
made and many club leaders are out of
town. the general scheme points to an
active participation in the fight on the
high cost of living and a demand for
good government.
The essential character of the clubs
of organized women was moi changed
when the recent session of the State
Legislature passed favorably or both q
state and q federal suffrage amendment.
Clubs will not become partisan, although
their interest in political questions be-
comes more vital. Women will support
various movements. They will approve
the blanks of several platforms rather
than support a party. and their greatest
energy will be directed to the move
ments that concern women, children and
the home.
Problem of Living Is Big One
''The problem of living is one that
vitality concerns the 500 women who
belong to the Germantown Woman's
Club" saws Mrs. Walter G. Sibley, the
president of the club. -.
"Most of the members of the club
are ~housekeepers and are interested in
some sort Of community CO operation.
We must simplify living conditions and
try to get rid of the middleman. just
