striking illustration of the general
emancipation of Turkish women which
has been affected by the war is afforded
by the designation of Mrs. Halide Edib
Hanem, as minister of education, i'll
Mustapha Renal s cabinet.
Mrs. Hanem is the wife of DR.. Adam
Bev, formerly president of the Turkish
Red Crescent and until recently Mus
tapha Renal S minister of health She
is 80 years old, the mother of three
children. Il devout Mohammedan and has
attained fame as the author of several
Pan-Islamic novels.
Shortly after Turkey entered the war
the need for nurses became so great
that women, for the first time, were per
mtted to accompany the armies and
enter military hospitals as relief work
ers. They are said to have demon.
stratcd remarkable efficiency in taking
care of the wounded, fact which soon
made it possible for Turkish women tC
enter university classes with men. Al
the present time, however, they are
still barred from theatcrs and amuse
ments of various kinds, except specia
performances for women only.
Mrs. Halide Edib Hanem is, perhaps
the most celebrated pioneer in the move
ment for the higher education of Turk
ish women She was the first Turkish
| girl to graduate from tie American wo
man s college here, despite the persist
cnt opposition of former Sultan Abdu
! Famid, who forced her to discontinu,
! her studies manv times.
DR.. Mary Mills Patrick, president o
the college, and American diplomats il
| Turkey, always took a great interest il
her struggle for education against 5ucl
strong odds and she finally finished he
course a number of wears ago. Subse
qucn.lv three of her sisters graduate,
from the same college.
ALTHOUGH educated in school wher
the teachers were all Christians. she re
tanned her MohammoGan faith but re
moved the black veil from her face a
many other Turkish women have sine
done. She is firm believer in the ST
periOr cultural value of Mohammet
teachings. Mrs. Hanem resided for
time in England and other Europca
countries. She is slight i'll build, bu
has an attractive face and posscsse
convictions on the subject of Turks
natlonalism. Because of her unusuf
power as an orator, she has been poJ
ular speaker in behalf of the nationa
list movement in Anatolia.

Lightness today IS an overwhelming advantage
in motor car, provided it forfeit of fine
performance, endurance or distinctive appearance.
Yet, prior to the Essex, what car combined all
these qualities? There were light to be sure.
But none to meet the requirements of those who
the highest standards of ability, comfort and
good looks
Had such a type existed, Essex could not have
such swift dominance 1t could have set no
worlds selling record as it did, with greater total
uaid for Essex than for any ever brought out
in It's first year.
The very suddenness Of its success shows how its
qualities Communicated attention. For men are
not quick to buy that time has not proved
And the Essex came unknown Merit was it's
only advocate for recognition It's quality was in
stantly obvious In looks in action, its appeal was
dynamic. And it drew immediate response from
all classes of motor users

TOWNSHEND.
TOWN HALL WORK DELAYED.
Variety Of Unavoidable Conditions Cor
spire to Hinder Completion.

Weather, railroad and industrial condi-
lions throughout the winter and spring,
combined with the present freight EN-
barge as II climax, have put big handi-
cap upon the completion of the new town
hall which as first contracted was to have
been finished April |, an extension of time
being afterward allowed. Although the
hall has reached point where the beauty
of its architectural lines and convenient
arrangement of the rooms and stage can
be appreciated, yet it is still far from
completion.
The massive wooden columns for the
double piazza. ordered last December
have never been received, nor is it possible
to secure them. In their place columns
will be built upon the ground by loca
workmen and covered with stucco t.
match the building. A glass famin,
| through the country has causes delay il
the windows, but these are bow bein.
built at Randolph.
The tower is as nearly completed Il.
possible until the long delayed clock ar
rives. The dome is finished and covered
with copper.
Partitions inside the building are al
set, and the outside is covered with stee
| Hath ready for the stucco finish.
Difficulty is experienced in getting TIN
material for the plaster, for which tn
/ ROOMS are practically ready, The stec
ceilings will be brought from New Yorl
by auto trucks.
The heating plant is being installe
by r. l.. Fitch, who has this contract
Two lot ar furnaces will be included.
At present work is being done on tn
stage, which measures % by A feet wit
a front curtain opening of u feet. Thi
will easily stage theatrical entertain
ments of character which should draN

rangement for scenery is being made, an

The Dominant Light Car
By Official Proof

People accustomed to fine car qualities recognize
in the light Essex all the performance comfort and
good looks that formerly regarded exclusive
large, costly cars.
And with it Essex brings every advantage Of the
light type. These compel consideration. They con-
sst only of important economies, but of greater
handling ease, safety and convenience Parking for
large cars is becoming an increasingly difficult
problem. So, too is their manipulation in heavy
traffic. The light clearly shows its value in
greater nimbeness. The common sense facts
prove it from every angle, the type for all-round
usefulness

Nothing New Under the Sun

A reader observes in Thomas Pains
rights of Man" that in 1920 Henry
", King of France proposed League
of Nations for Peace of Europe. The
reader also claims on good authority
that Dante's Inferno with its rooms
for sinners was probably suggested by
a Chinese Inferno written 5000 years
before, having 8 rooms and similar
plan.
This reader, Mr.. w. +. Butt, further
says, on authority of a Mr.. Bennett,
once editor of the Truthseeker, that
concerning the z Bibles of the World,
that all have the Three God Head
Father, Son and Holy Ghost, all have
the doctrine of Immaculate Conception
and all have December % as birthday
of its Christ, so we have but one Christ
mas the world round. Also that all
the Bibles have the food story, al
though the Pyramids of Egypt have
no account of a flood among their
chronicles. w E. Butt

FIRE ENGINE SAVES OWN COST
Prevents City Hall From Being Burn
ed-Chemical Does II

Just how sound was the judgment
of our Mayor and council in purchas-
ing Viroqua's fine fire equipment was
amply demonstrated Tuesday after
noon. Grease and oil around the city
pumping engine became ignited from
an overheated muffier exhaust and
flames filled the engine room like a
flash. Water is worse than useless
on an oil fire, but the chemical appa-
ratus on the big truck was put in ae-
ton and subdued the flames in few
moments with practically no damage.
Without the fire truck the city hall
would probably have been consumed,
destroying the pumping machinery and
precipitating a water famin. The big
red truck undoubtedly saved its pur-
chase price at the first fire it was call
ed to busdue.

CENSORSHIP In
MEXICO PASSES
With The Fall of carranza Press Rep
resentatives Get Freedom of
Wire Service

Mexico City July 26-Creation here
of an official bureau of information for
the foreign press was followed within
a fortnight by the disappearance from
the cable office in Mexico City Of the
censors who the constitution of 1917
to the contrary, had revised all mes
sages press messages IN particular for
the last 10 years
Bringing of the Gems o~ship to the at
tention of President lie Ia Huerta has
been the most notable feat thus far
performed by the information bureau
All foreign correspondents have been
listed and Identification cards (photo-
graphs attached) issued to them.
Operated through the Department Of
the Interior over which Manuel Aguirre
Berlanga presided and with Mario
Mendez general manager of the nation
al telegraph lines as chief censor the
censors were a factor not to be dis
regarded up until May when the Car
rama government evacuated the cap
ital. During the war charges Of pro-
Germaniam against Berlanga and Men-
DEE often were linked with intimations
of the value of the censorship to the
Germans in Mexico.
Not only were allied business inter-
ests resentfuI and powerless but for
eign correspondents faced a greater in
convenience even danger. Even though
the censor halted transmission Of
news stories judged "inconvenient" for
the Carranza government the mere fill
ing Of such a story was sufficient
ground for declaring the correspondent
a "pernicious foreigner"
When President de Ia Huerta met
all the little ones" as Mexican Of
ficialdom terms journalists of the for
eegn press at a. luncheon on June IL,
he was asked about the censorship and
declared ne did not know it existed.
Immediately he directed Colonel Benito
Ramirez, his chief OF staff to order its
discontinuance.

CURFEW RULING
WORKS HARDSHIP
Many Innocent Du b n Residents
Forced to Spend Night in Jail.
ASSOCIATED Press.)

Dublin, July 26-The number of
persons who are victims of the cur
few law increases weekly and the eX-
perience which they all must go
through is exciting, if. not comfort
able. The majority of those taken
by the military are persons who had
no intention of violating the law but
are detained at the home of friend
beyond midnight.
The usual procedure is this. A Mill
tary motor lorry filled with soldiers
each with a strong searchlight comes
up along side Of the unfortunate ones
and calls upon them to halt. ~ re-
quest is made for a permit and if as
is usual, there is none forthcoming,
the Dublinites are taken into custody
loaded into the truck which then pro-
ceeds on it's way.
From time to time, joyful citizens,
who have dined too well, are COL
lected and join the party. When the
searchers are through the whole load
of violaters are taken to the Bride
well prison, where they must spend
the night. If the offenders prove to
be obviously innocent citizens they
are released in the morning, and are
none the worse off except for the
ride in the lorry which they say is
the worst feature of the experience.
