VICTIM OF TURKS RAPACITY
Dead City Of Farmaousta, on Island OF
Cyprus, a Monument to Their
Savagery and Hate.

FarmaguSta. "the place of the god.
deSS," is in deSolate corner of the
far-famed island OF Cyprus. One look
ut the wrecked city shows plainly that
the goddess has forsaken her affairs.
1t looks as though sandstone had
struck the place and buried its glory
beneath dune. from which rise the
remains of churches, towers and Il
cathedral.
1t was not, however, the sands Of
the tropics that laid the ancient me.
tropolis low. The Turks, wrathful ut
this city If 300 churches. attacked it in
siege which might have rivaled the
lengthy Trojan episode had not hun.
ger overcome the citys defenders. The
pillaging of the conquerors completed
the ruin wrought by battering rams,
fire and stones.
Earthquakes followed and settled
the shattered stones further into the
sand. But through the city's days OF
destruction. even today. the outer walls
and bastions stand firm. The harbOr
stronghold of Farmagusta would be a
formidable obstacle to attack even in
this day of 5O-mile guns and scientific
artillery fire.
In one corner of the wall stands Q
tower said to have been the scene of
pesdemOna's death at the hands OF
OthellO.
Aside from the strong walls there
are few bits of intact architecture
among the debris. An occasional palm
tree growing up through the ruins adds
to the effect of abandonment. A few
Turks hold the city gainst time. the

The great army of home builders
this year are turning more and more
t. originality in the designs for the
homes that they are erecting. Designs
for modern homes are the results of
the architectural experience of this
and past generations. From the homes
that were designed in various periods.
the best has been selected and the
balance discarded. Thus does the
present-day home sacrifice neither
beauty to convenience, nor convenience
to beauty.
An example of this process Of archi.
tectural selection is shown in the ac-
companying design. Here has been
combined the exterior beauty of the
old English style of architecture with
modern room arrangement and mod
ern construction methods and mate
rails.
This old English stucco house of six
rooms is what might be termed a
''beauty." Its exterior appearance is
out of the ordinary. while the room
arrangement and the cOnveniences in
stalled in them are IF the type that
appeal to the modern home builder.

Property owners who possess
territory located on Eighteenth

Forty-fourth streets are to be re-
quested to attend meeting of the
board of local improvements to be
held probably Friday in regard to
paving of that avenue
An ordinance calling for the paw
ing of Eighteenth avenue from
Forty-fourth to Forty-sixth streets
has already been adopted by the
city commission and the paving of
the balance of the avenue before
mentioned is sought, not only by
the city officials, but by the ma
jcrity of the property owners.
The avenue is to be paved a bou-
levard and will conform to the
Nineteenth avenue, Moline. boule-

will allow a second through line

LETTER SHOWS
GRATITUDE OF A
FRENCH MOTHER,

The gratitude of France to Amer
lea and American people beautifully
expressed, is shown in a letter re-
ceived by a Rock Island woman
who has adopted a French war
orphan. 1t is from a French mother
whose husband died in the service
of his country. and she is now
obliged to provide the living for her
little family. This is but one in
stance of the hundreds of thousands
of others in France today, and ii
shows what a great deal the helping
hand of America has meant to the
French people. The translation OF
the letter follows:
Sainte Florine,
Haute, Loire, France.
Ny Dear Madame and Benefactress
I have been very pleasantly sur
prised by receiving from the
american Society for the Relief OF
War Orphans" Volney street, PARIS
letter informing me that my little
boy. Vital Nicolas, has been the Cd
ject of your choice in assuming a
war orphan.
He is still of an age which does
not permit him to thank you IN
writing, but believe me, dear
madam, that have told him to join
your name with that of our dear de-
parted one in his prayers.
The war having ravished us both
by it's moral and material demands
am therefore Obliged to provide
the needs and education for my two
children; for Vital has a little
brother less than two years old
whom another generous American
has chosen quite recently.
Deign to accept Madam, our sin
cere thanks, our sentiments of deer
gratitude.
Yours, Nicolas.

Robes of regal splendor, it is an
nounced, are worn by Nazimova in
her forthcoming production THE
Red Lantern" and this picture,
taken during one of the scenes,
proves that the announcement is
correct at least as far as the SPLEEN
dor goes there really is not much
robe, it is mostly beads and
fringe). Among her costumes is
the heavy silk garb of the Goddess
of the Red Lantern and the awe-in-
spring habiliments of a Chinese
warrior chief.
The warriors costume, robe of
embroidered silk, with the head of a
lion depending from the waist, IS
apparel worn only by those of the
Chinese who stand ready to give
their lives for the race. The lions
head is the highest symbol of valor
at arms
In other scenes Nazimova wears
the robes of the Goddess of the Red
Lantern
According to the description
given, the robes are of the heaviest
Chinese silk, embroidered with a
thousand designs. On her head
Nazimova wears the symbolical
head dress of the goddess, studded
with peacock feathers and dozens of
silk floss pompoms, the whole held
in place by band of gold embroid
cry that circles the forehead and
temples.
The new Nazimova production, it
is promised, will outrival 'Revela
tion," Toys of Fate" and Eye for
Eye" in its spectacular features.
But in bold relief against this back
ground of pageantry is the story of
Mahlee, more poignant, perhaps,
than the tragedy of Clio Clio San in
Madame Butterfly" which moves
forward to q climax when race and
love conflict.
Besides playing Malice, Nazi
nova portrays the character Of
Blanche Sackville, delicately reared
English girl and a half sister to the
Eurasian.
THE Red Lantern" which was
produced upon a scale of unusual
lavishness, is based on the novel of
Chinese life by Edith Wherry.

That communications may be

Throughout the period of hostili-

service in communicating messages

There has been of late rumor to
the effect that letters may now be

which it is said that the mails are
crowded with letters which cannot
be delivered.
The Rock Island chapter states
that it has forwarded numerous

pied regions of Belgium; let ers
may, however. now be sent to Bel
GUM since all Belgian territory is
liberated. The Rock Island chap
ter still stands ready to accept COM
