TURKISH WOMEN
 EMANCIP PATED

Constantinople, May IA striking illustration of the general emanicipa- tion of Turkish women which has been affected by the war is afford ed by the designation of Mrs. Halide Edib Hanem, as Minister of Educa- ton, in Mustapha KemaIs cabinet.
 Mrs. Hanem, is the wife of Dr.. Adam Bey, formerly president of the Turkish Red Crescent and until re- gently Mustapha Kemars Minister of Health. She is 35 years old, the moth 3r of three children, a devout Mo- sNammedan and has attained fame as %sss author of several strongly pam Tslamic novels.
 Shortly after Turkey entered the war the need for nurses became so great that women, for the first time, were permitted to accompany the armies and enter military hospitals as relief workers. They are said to have deonmstrated remarkable eff. ciency in taking care of the wounded, a fact which soon made it possible for Turkish women to enter univer- sity classes with men. At the pres ent time, however, they are still bar red from theatres and amusements of various kinds, except special perform ances for women only.
 Mrs Halide Edib Hanem is, per- haps, the most celebrated pioneer in the movement for the higher educa- tion of Turkish women. She was the first Turkish girl to graduate from the American woman's college here, despite the persistent opposition of former Sultan Abdul Hanfd, who forced her to discontinue her studies many times.
 Dr. Mary Mills Patrick, president of the college, and American dip1o- mats in Turkey, always took a great interest in her struggle for educa ton against such strong odds and she fi- nally finished her course a number of years ago. Subsequently three of her sisters graduated from the same college.
 Although educated in a school where the teachers wSre all Christians, she retained her Mohammedan faith but removed the black veil from her face as many other Turkish women have since done. She is a firm be- lever in the superior cultural value of Mohammet's teachings. Mrs Hanem resided for 8 time in Eng land and other European countries She is slight in build, but has an at- tractive face and possesses convictions on the subject of Turkish nationalism Because of her unusual power as an orator, she has been a popular speak CT in behalf of the nationalist move ment in Anatolia.

FLU VERY HEAVY
 IN SOUTH INDIA

The ravages of plague, famine and cholera are as nothing when com pared to the inroads influenza has made on human, life in South India According to Baptist medical mis- sionaries there the "hu" has swept down through the Hyderabad and Madras districts snuff1ng out lives with terrible rapidity.
 'FWe have worked through many epidemics of cholera and two of p1ague,'' writes Dr. J. S. Timpany, from Hanumakonda where he is in charge of a Baptist hospital, ''but we have never seen such abject misery as accompanied the influenza in these villages. Whole families were laid low in such swift succession that there was no one left to care for, or even to cook food or give water or medicine to the sick ones.' In some villages there were none left with sufficient strength to dig graves and the bodies of the dead were thrown into wells.''

AMERICANS AID
 SERBIAN CITIES

Funds provided by Americans are pitals and schools in six Serbian cit ies, conducted by the Serbian Child Welfare Association, according to the report of c. E. Fox, sanitary engineer of the organization who has just re- turned to the United States and is the latest arrival from the war stricken Balkan kingdom.
 Approximately 500 children are re-
 ceiving food, clothing and medical attention daily at the six relief cen ters in the area under supervision of the Assocation in Old Serbia Some
 of the features of the institutes, hitherto unknown to Serbian com munities, are: Mothers classes, medi- cal home visiting, nurses training classes, baby welfare clinic and m mothers' sewing societies
 Since March first of this year the Association has enlarged it's field of activities to include two additional cities, and within a few weeks will be in full operation: cooperating with remaining Red Cross units and Food Administration relief corps.
 All this work is supported by the 1 contributions made by Americans through the medium of sharing the happiness of their birthday anniver-
 saries with the half million destitute l Serbian children in whose behalf the | National Birthday Committee was or
 ganized with Mrs. Oliver Hartman as national godmother for the 'adop-
 tion'' of orphans. Headquarters are
 at West 9th Street, New York City.

OPEN CANAL TO
 MEDITERRANEAN

Rome, May Don Ge1asio Cae- tani, brother of Prince Caetani, the American trained engineer, who laid the mine which blew off the top of the mountain, Col di Lana during the war, burying hundreds of Austrian soldiers beneath it, has just dynamit- ed a canal into existence from Lake Caprolace to the Mediterranean Sea-
 The work was undertaken by dfrec- ton of the Prince, also known as the Duke of Sermoneta, head of the Cae- tani family, in the Pontine Marshes near the Dukes vast estate of Cis- terna, forty miles from Rome.
 The Pontine Marshes constitute the swampy forest country which stretches between the Roman Cam pagna and Terracina, a region which the Prince has labored for years to reclaim. On the seashore of this strange volcanic region there are three lakes or 1agoons, called Fogi- ano, Monaci and CaproIace, communi- eating with each other, into which at high tide all kinds of fish find their way, remaining there to breed and fatten for the Roman market, to which every day some ten to forty hundredweight are shipped Only one, that of F'ogliano, is directly connect ed with the sea, and in order to unite that of CaproIace with the neighboring Mediterranean, and to greatly increase the yield of fish, Prince Caetani decided to explode a series of mines so as to form a canal between this lake and the sea.
 The undertaking took 50 tons of ex- plosives and 1900 large bombs or five times as much was required to de- stroy the mountain top. It was suc- cessful, opening a channel to the sea.

SHORTAGE OF
 SUGAR STILL

Again the housewives are lining up before the grocery store counters for their sugar supplies. In many places they consider themselves lucky to get half a pound at time. And at that they may have to buy stuff they don't want along with it. It was conffden 1y expected when the price limit was removed, there would be abundant sugar, but it has not proved so. There is much reason to think that extor- tionate profteering exists some where in the trade.
 While a renewal of government fix ed prices would relieve the situation temporarily, the only permanent rem edy is production so ample that prices will fall naturally.
 The government should look alive to hunt down people who are charging exorbitant prices for sugar, and an attempt to corner the supply should be punishable under existing Iegisla- tion. But it is probably true that the sugar production of the world is in sufficient to supply the demand, and while this condition exists, prices are sure to remain high.
 No immediate relief from this shortage can be expected. Russia was formerly the second sugar pro- ducins country in the world, and it's production will not be normal for years. Germany and Austria were great sugar countries, and tne1r pro- duction will not be normal for some time.
 American farmers ought to find beet sugar production an attractive proposition with present high prices One of the most useful things the government could do would be to per
  NWhen sugar becomes abundant, prices will fall.

LIBERTY BONDS
 ExCHANGEABLE

Holders in this Federal Reserve District of at least $125, 100000 of 4 per cent coupon Liberty bonds of the Second loan will be able between May and May 15 to exchange them for permanent bonds bearing 4 14 per cent. If they wait until May 16 they will lose, under Treasury regu- lations, the additional quarter of one per cent, until next November.
 The exchange can be made at any bank or trust company or at the Fed era1 Reserve bank of New York. Bondholders will thus be able to col lect the interest due May 15 since the new permanent bonds will have cou- ponS attached drawing interest at 4 per cent from November 15, 1919 to May IS, 1920 and interest at IA per cent from May 15 to maturity.
 Unless specifically requested 4 IA per cent bonds will be delivered in exchange for the present per cent issue. A sufficient supply of the permanent bonds has been received and deliveries will commence prompt ly on Monday, May 8. The Federal change of the $50 and $100 bonds at the office of the Liberty Loan asso- citation at 19 West 44th Street, al- though holders may secure the per- manent bonds merely by surrendering their present bonds to their own banks who will ordinarily undertake without charge to their customers to send them into the Federal Reserve bank for exchange. Banks, trust compa- nies, and savings banks will, as usua4 l deal directly with the Federal Reserve bank.
 Permanent bonds of the other out standing issues of Liberty Loans now in temporary form are not yet avail able for delivery due to unavoidable difficulties in the Bureau of Engrav- ing and Printing at Washington. Con- sequently it is impossible to adhere to the tenative program previously an- nounced for deliveries of the perma- nent bonds of these issues. An nouncement will be made at some later date when these exchanges may be effected.
 Exchange of permanent for tenn porary bonds refers only to the cou- pon bonds inasmuch as the registered bonds were issued by the government in permanent form as were the First Liberty 3 1-2 per cent. bonds and the Victory Liberty Loan 3 3-4 and 4 3-4 per cent notes. The registered 4 per cent Second Liberty Loan bonds while they are in permanent form may, nev- ertheless, be converted into bonds bearing If per cent interest.

DEMONSTRATIONS
 AGAINST JEWS

Vienna, April c0-Anti-Jewish demonstrations by German students continued in a more serious form to- day and were also directed against other students recognized as social ists. Cries of down with the Jews mingled with down with the reds"
 The students of the University gathered and occupied a position near one of the colleges, the young men being armed with sticks and their leaders carrying swords. Jews were violently attacked when they entered lecture rooms and were compelled to leave. A Jewish war kitchen also was raided. During the disorder there were cries of Hong live the Hapsburgs'' and the old national an them was sung. Police forces were stood off for a time and were forced to draw their swords to disperse the students.
 The movement seems to be Jointly anti-Jewish and political, the latter phase being a protest against the gov- ernment's refusal to make any ad- vances to Hungary. Charges are made the demonstration here has been planned by anti-Jewish students in Budapest, while the Abendblatt says emissaries from the group sur- rounding Admiral Horty, Hungarian regent, are in the city. It is under stood the American commissioner here has directed inquiries to the government concerning the damage done to the war kitchen attacked to- day, it being conducted partly under American auspices.
 Student leaders declare they will continue their demonstrations with increased emphasis and the govern ment is considering closing the Uni versity of Vienna unless the situation improves

MAY DAY.

In Old England, May brings with her the song of the nightingale, the fra grance of hawthorne blossoms, and the banks of primroses. In the United States the month in the country is one of exquisite beauty
 The old poets delighted to describe May as a beautiful maiden, clothed in sunshine, and scattering flowers on the earth, while she danced to the music of birds and brooks.
 The fields and woods now ring with incessant sounds all day long. It is mating time in Birdland. The loud cry of the woodpecker is heard, which some naturalists have, conpar- ed to a laugh, as if the bird were a cynic, making mockery of the whole of this grand. wild concert.
 In the undated history of the Welsh bards. oral traditions ages old before Julius Caesar and his Roman legfons. England was called the Island of Honey by its first discov- disturbed the silence of England's s primevaI forests, the murmur of bees sweetened the air.
 May was the second month in the old Alban calendar. The most receivable account of the origin of the name of this month is that which represents it as being assigned in honor of the Maores e or Maieres meaning the Senate in the original constitution of Rome. June" was named in compliment to the "Jun- iores'' or inferior branch of the Ro- man legislature.

William j. Henderson recently discussed

club in New York City and the things he said
are quoted in the periodical Musical America
Mr.. Henderson was hard on the musical pro

''painters Of green-eyed parrots, composers
without music and he told the story of the
picture of Matisee known as 1.-The Blue To
mato'' One Of the masters disciples came to
him in perplexity to ask if the picture was fin
ished. On being answered Automatically the in
quirer hesitatingIy remarked that the tomatoes
he had known were red. Matisee thus replied
s'When the tomato grows to be II pc, it is red
when you cook it is red; when you eat it is red
But when you paint it it is blue

MOTHER CoNFESSORS.

! A movement for female cOnfeSsOrs-Inotilel
ccnfessors-has been started IN the hlSh AnSli-
ran churches. and the matter may be brought
I'm at the Lambeth conference Of the clergy IN
July. A speaker at the National Union Ior
EQUAL Citizenship told of the desires OF women
for women confessors; but London vicar OF
note sees serious obstacles in the way OF satisfy
ing their desire Until women can be admtted
to the priesthood, he says, they cannot become
confessors. That obstacle might be overcome,
but an insuperable objection to the plan Is tnat
I"women would not confess to women, VINO are
fpitiIess to their sex, and would not trust an
ether woman to keep secret even if told IN the
confessional
How much truth there is in this we 90 not
know. Scatter Drained men and women 40 not
usually keep secrets inviolate and are not clever
jenough to do so, if they tried But the usual
woman can keep secret as safely anu sscre.'l!
las the exceptional man, ability to do tins being
a matter of development rather than OF sex:
Evidently much might be said on both sldes OF
tho Question of women confessors; but quite as
evidently the controversy has not reached the
stage which calls for it's discussion in the pubic
press. There is something in the scriptures
about the duty and blessedness OF confession;
hut all the examples of it given are those Oh
,ronhets who admitted the national shortcom-
Iinps. or of individuals who made open acknowl-
| Judgement of their transgresslons TO the people
land to the Lord AS for confidential communl-
ications. it is as true now OF old that : tale
bearer revealeth secrets, but he that is OF
faithful spirit concealeth the matter

AN ALLIANCE THAT SHOULD STAND

Railroad management and the railroad
brotherhoods are fighting as allies the attempt
by radicalisn to upset conditions in our rall
transport. Here is an alliance brought sudden
w to a working status that ought to stand IL
is the sort of partnership that means industrial
safety and the only sort that does promise this
with anv certainty No amount OF government
regulation; no planning and regulating by con-
stituted boards and commissions can accomp-
lish what workers and management co-operat-
ing can accomplish. If the Intelligent honest
railroad workers of the country stick to their
organization agreements, follow the Leadership I,
that stands for these, the radical minority VIII
soon be beaten, and beaten so declslveiy that
the defeat will be permanent. There should
come general clearing out OF the spirit OF dls,
ruption and perpetuation of the alliance that

MITCH TALK, SLOW RESULTS.

On the whole The publicity given out by the
American Chemical society is provoking to tne
lavman. Not that the chemists are not at WORK
at highly useful solutions of many of our great
problems They are at work to good purpose.
They say they have means and methods to to low
er shoe costs by making by products profitable;
70 lower food costs by processes that make food
preservation much less expensive; to increase
the supply and quality of American potash and
TINS lower farm costs; to increase the efficiency
Of our dive industry. This is good news but 1t
stons short of what the people want They
want cheaper Shoes cheaper food, more salts
fed farmers. How is the work of the chemists
to be put into practical use to secure these!
That is the question someone ought to answer
Then the chemists will become immediate bene-
factors: and this is the sort of benefactors de-
sired.
