TURKS OBSERVE
LAWSOF KORAN
MONTH OF. RAMADAN is TRYING
ONE TO ALL CLASSES ESPE-
ciALLY LABoRlNG MEN AND
WOMEN,

Constantinople, July 25.-Moslems
have just been observing Ramadan,
a month of trials to all classes, es
pecially to laboring men, who are
supposed to go without food, drink
and tobacco from sun up to shutdown
turkish restaurants are watched
carefully by Mohammedan policemen,
who are instructed to arrest custom
ers and owners alike if any of the fol-
.iowersNof Allah violate the laws of the
Koran. Consequently Christian res
taurants, and especially those which
have private rooms, become very pop-
ular with Mohammedans during the
2S days which are supposed to be
given over to fasting and prayer
Big guns are. fired in CONSTANT
nople to indicate shutdown and the
rush of Turks to coffee houses and
restaurants approaches a riot in
STEAMBOAT and other Turkish sections
Of Constantinople. Recently evening
target practice of the British fleet
has frequently been confused-many
times ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS the food gun
and Moslems have broken their fast
ahead of time
Hot weather has made Ramadan
especially trying, as the followers of
the great prophet are not even sup
posed to drink water during daylight
hours. Fasting makes the Turks so
irritable and impatient that it is ex-
tremely difficult to transact business
with them. Ramadan is a less try
ing period to Turkish men and
women who are unemployed, as they
merely sleep through the day and
turn night into a time of feasting.
Throughout Ramadan all the minarets
of Constantinople are ablaze with
electricity. The Turkish streets are
crowded at night, bands play every
where and firecrackers are discharged
wherever the allied military officers
do not prevent.

Upon investigation II is found
that this second Cicero is even long
er than the first one. when the
woman observed how familisrly the
members of the party treated little
Cicero. she seemed shocked. Mr..
krentZlin brought out the tin can
which he foresightedly picked up
on the way out and with practically
no difficulty Cicero was coaxed to
wind himself in the tin can. The
lid was then put on the can and it
was placed in the rear of the car
where one of the members of the
party kept his foot on it the remain
ing portion of the journey.
The last lap OF the tour was
made in the twilight which en-
HANGED the beauty OF the scenery.
1t is only in justice to the Jor-
dan car to state hero that Mr..
Krentzlin did not find il necessary
to shift his gears while in progress
throughout the trip of 1929 miles.
He accomplished a feat which any
automobile might be proud of when,
in crossing the bridge entering into
Fredericksburg. he throttled the car
down to four miles an hour and
maintained this parade" speed un-

Many bad spots in the road were
not noticed by the party because
of the superior springiness of the
silhouette Five Jordan" and the
majority of the praise given to the
roads was in fact due to the Jordan
car, which, in the opinion of the
members of the party. could even
go over "the rough road to Jor-
dan" without disturbing its Occu-
pants.
The Jordan contains a steady six
cylinder motor. defeating the forces

during the trip was due to the Gle
