LOOKING TO SOUTH PACIFIC
White Men Planning Complete Posses
sion of Fertile Islands of That
PARKWAY Ocean.

With Europe a seething mass Of un-
rest and discomfort and uncertainty,
your Britisher is looking to the islands
of the South Pacific, already owned by
the empire, as the next place to go
and to exploit to use the expression
OF lot of people who do not know the
meaning of the word. Already cOrpO-
ratiOns are being formed to colOnize
the islands. and beautiful word pic
lures of the advantages of a residence
upon them are being painted.
The truth is, for some years the
white man has been gradually getting
a fOOthOId in the region. The delight
tives, gives a little idea of what is
really to be seen in the country. They
are not the wild, naked people roam
ing at large. eating each other and
the missionaries. Rubber plantations,
cOcOuUt groves, phosphate mines and
other Industries are operated by Eu-
r0peans. And schools and churches
are encountered on every hand, with
the hOnk of the horn Of the autOmO-
bile heard in the shade of the palms.
The white man will not reach the
end of his road until there is no more
country to be settled up, and there
are still vast areas to be brought I'M
der his domain. In Africa, and upon
the islands Of the sea, he is setting his
foot and clearing up the jungles and
cOnquering the pests and becoming &C
climated. But the end is not yet;
there is still much to be done, and
the chances are that the next few
years will see an exodus to these far
away places where a beginning has
already been made.-COlumbus Dis

PICK EMPLOYEES WITH CARE
Modern Business Men No Longer Rely
on the "Hit-or-Miss" Method of
Selection.

There was a time when picking en-
Dloyees was a hit-and-miss job, a trial
and-errOr matter which few employers
believed could be corrected. This is
the day of doing things right and the
modern employer is now selecting MS
associates, from the office boy to the
man highest up, with as much care as
he would launch on an entirely new
business venture. William Marvin
Jackson, director of the Personnel De-
velOpment service, writes:
eff employees are carefully selected,
with an eye to their real 2aaPtability
and fitness for the work to be done II
goes without question that they are
much more likely to take an interest
in their work, and hence, the business
itself. If they are interested, they VIII

panfes the knowledge that he is get

having him a good salary may make
him work harder. But giving him

Australian Rabbits Selling Fast.

Rabbits have been doing great dam

Australia, and strenuous efforts to

Of rabbit skins was removed in De-
cember last, and the boom in rabbit
skin prices has produced remarkable
competition in slaughtering the pest.
The ruling average price paid to trap

and the demand for skins by the
United States and European markets
is so great that 1t cannot be satisfied.
and it is thought that prices will go
still higher. Experienced trappers are
making up to $97 per week for the

BERLIN NO LONGER MAGNET
City's Travel Bureau Urges Need of
Desirable Visitors at German
Capital.

Berlin, Germany.-As a center of at
traction for visitors from outside, Ber-
lin is on the wane, said Chairman
Landau of the city's foreign travel bu-
reau, which held it's annual meeting
here recently.
Landau stated that although in the
year under review 1,3S9,OOO strangers
visited the capital, they were on the
whole not the class Of visitors that
we're desired. Berlin, he added, had
become hated in the provinces and no
traveller came to Berlin for pleasure.
Moreover, there was an alarming
exodus of industrial undertakings
from Berlin.
The authorities, he said, must wake
up and offer fairs and such like as an
inducement for the desirable class Of
visitors to come to Berlin.

PLaYED FEW "SAFETY Shots
Men Who Have Won Success in Lies

Walter Hagen, the golfer, says:

Kings in other trades as well as in
golf have found that it pays to 'try
for the cup" remarks "Girard" in the
Philadelphia Press.
Safety shots are often careless shots
in business as in play.

Theodore y. Vail, the telephone

He went out with the long stroke and
came home to the final shot with a

The big-league teams play to win

Princes Speech Consisted Of Verses
From the Koran, but Audience
Didn't Know 1t.

1t is interesting to recall that dur
Ing the recent European tour of Prince
FeisaI of the new kingdom of Syria,
his memory Of the KOranic verses
stood him in good stead. In London,
at dinner in the Guildhall, the prince,
who was the guest of honor, and who
kneY little French and less English,
was called upon 70 tep1y to the toast
of his health. Beside him sat his
friend and mentor, Colonel Lawrence,
Oxford professor and oriental scholar,
to whom he whispered as he rose to
acknowledge the lord mayors speech.
Colonel Lawrence nodded his assent,
and the prince addressed his audi
ence in flowing Arabic periods, win
ming appreciation and applause.
When the guest of honor had re
sumed his seat, Colonel Lawrence, as
his interpreter, rose to express in Eng
lish the princes sentiments of graft
tUde for his reception, and to voice
his devotion to the principles of demOC-
racy and allied solidarity. 1t was
not until many days had gone by
that Colonel Lawrence allowed it TO be
known among his friends that what
the prince had whispered to him was:
'I'H recite the verses from the
Koran about the cow"
Thus did the diplomatic professor
deceive the unwilling ears of his Guild
hall friends.-Munsey's Magazine.

TURKISH WOMEN
BREAK CUSTOMS
No Longer Shy, Yelled Creatures,
but Work With Men in
Many Lines.
SPECIAL SEATS FOR WOMEN
Only the Very Old Men Rash Enough
to Sit Down in the Same Car Seat
With a Turkish Woman
Leaders Educated.

ntinOple.-TUrkish women are
no longer the SHY, yelled creatures
who passed their time in the secIusion
Of the harem and were never seen by
foreign men. They still cling to the
veil. But the streets in Constantinople
and other larger Turkish cities are
filled with women who have their wells
thrown back from their faces. They
are highly ornamental and becoming
Most Turkish women don't want to
abandon them in favor of hats. But
there are many sorts of wells and the
smart, black silk wells which some of
the women wear are very fetching
when draped artistically over their
hair.
Car Seats for Women.
In the railway and street cars there
are special seats for women, but the
tlimsy curtains which are supposed to
screen them from the gaze of men are
usually drawn back and it is not I'M
cOmmOn~tO see men standing in the
compartments for women. Only very
old men, however, are rash enough to
sit down in the same seat with a Turk
ish woman. Turkish women seldom
go to a theater where there are men.
Special matinees and evening perform
ances are arranged for women only.
The war has done much to break
down the barrier between Turkish men
and women. The women were needed
so badly as nurses and relief workers
that the government had to avail it
self of their services. And now it is
regarded as quite proper for men and
women to be associated in all sorts of
charitable and educational works.
Consequently many women who were
formerly forced to content themselves
with seclusiOn in a home where fancy
work and French novels were the only
diversions are devOting their time to
hospitals, Orphanages and other phil
anthrOpic institutions.
Educated Women Leaders.
Women who have been educated
abroad or in the foreign schools in
Turkey are the leaders in this move
ment for greater freedom for their
Eek. Their broad experience in war
work has interested many women in
politics, and they have openly played
a great part in the nationalist move
