AUBURN

Auburn, April 2s.-( -(Speciai)-Auburn is
 entertaining a distinguished engineer in the person of John R. Allen, who is an educator and research worker of na- tional prominence. He is at present di- rector of important research work being carried on at the United States bureau of mines laboratory in Pittsburg. MT. Allen has been dean of engineering both at the University of Michigan and the University of Minnesota. From 1911 to 1913 he or ganized, built and equipped the engineer ing department of Robert College, Con stantinople.
 At l2 o'clock noon, MT. Allen addressed large body of the students in Langdon hall, speaking upon Conditions in the Near East His description of the GUS toms, manners and laws of the Turks was most informing. There man is per mtted to have four wives. Under the law however, he can play no favorltes' but must treat them all alike. If he buys a silk dress for one, he has to buy SILK dresses for all of them, which makes IL d very expensive proposition to be the husband of more than one wife. Mosl of hls acquaintances had but one wife.
 Of course, the women were yelled when walking in public, but even in the privacy of theIr homes, a scarf most effectuaIly concealed-the back of their necks. TO expose that to public gaze, even to the gaze of the husband, was impossible Women never walked alone in public. but were always accompanied by another woman or child. It was the custom to do so
 MT Allen said good deal of sympathy was wasted upon the Turkish woman. From what he saw of her she seemed quite capable of taking good care of her self. On one occasion he discharged an employee The next day his wife ap- peared with a long story of ill luck ana misfortune and a request that he be re- instated She was told that her husband was a good workman and well liked. but that he had refused to work under cer- tain foreman. Insubordination could not be tolerated She said, of course, she understood that. "Is that all the trou- ble?p she asked Upon receiving that
 assurance she announced, "He will be
 back early in the morning." and sure enough he was.
 The custom of bargaining back ana forth in the purchase of goods is inVio- lable It takes a couple of hours to make any sort of a purchase leach one grad ually conceding, point by point, until ,ne known definite price has been reached However, it seems to be an oriental pas time.
 Officials find it difficult to collect their salaries from their own government, so they make a point of collecting them out of the public. Graft is a real business and the purchase of official influence is a regular item of business expense. The first minister of war receives salary CT $25, 900 a year. He served three years ana retired, having saved $5.oo0Wo from nus salary.

STOLEN AUTOS USED TO TRANSPORT LIQUOR
 IS BELIEF OF POLICE

Police officials are firm in their belief that an organized band of auto mobile thieves are operating in the city at the present time and that they are using the stolen autos for the transportation of whisky
 Several weeks ago Chief of Police T. J. Shirley ordered that list be kept of all stolen cars thal were recovered by the police and found to contain liquor. Up to the present time more than eight automobiles have been re- covered and proved beyond a doubt that they were used for bringing liquor into the city. In some eases secret tanks were found along the 'in- Ger side of the body of the car, while in others only the bottles with the "smelp were found in the stolen autos.
 Many of the stolen cars that have been recovered by the police have been found just inside the city limits. Tn most instances the autos were in wrecked condition
 Auto thieves have averaged a rate ot stealing two and three automobiles a day from the streets of the city for tho past two months.

 GROWING SLOWLY
By Associated Press

Washington. April 2S.-cotton has grown slowly in Texas and the stand is mostly poor, according to the crop bulletin of the department of agricul- ture covering conditions for the week ending yesterday. Good rains at the end of the week. however, are expected to prove beneficial
 Rapid progress was made on plant ing in the Carolinas and central Geor- gia. The crop Is coming up to good stand in southern Georgia and has eerminated. well on the lighter soils in South Carolina. The bulk of the crop has been planted in Florida and plant ing made fairly good progress in Ala bama.
 Heavy rains near the close of the week delayed planting in some central sections of the belt particularly in eastern Arkansas, western Tennessee, Mississippi and western Alabama. In other parts of Arkansas planting is well along as is also the case in Louis jana.
 continued dry soil delayed the plant ing in Oklahoma but the general rains toward. the close of the week relieved this situation.
