Freak Decisions
BY Sein Finn

Dublin some OF the decisions of
the recently organized Sim Fein
courts disregard all precedent Of court
procedure and reflect much Of the inn
|agination o. highly temperamental
race. They must resort to subterfuee
IN criminal senfences because they
have no prisons, but their findings n
civil cases sometimes areg most nm
usual.
A will case was recently tried n 4
district court. Two brothers were "

ter his death until one Of them should
decide to marry. Then it was to be d.
vided between them. One of the bro
Tiers became engaged and maintained
that as he was the first to set M Al
new home Of his own he should divide
the estate to suit himself. The other
objected. The Sim Fein jury decided
that the engaged man should be. allow
ed to divide the farm. but that his bro
ther should have the right to select the
division he wanted.
A man who stole something from a
farmer was sentenced to work 30 days
for the farmer and return the article.
Another who stole set of harness was
paraded through the village streets
with the harness tied about him ana
then taken to the owner and made to
apologize as he returned the harness.

Car Shortage
HoldUp Moping
of Kansas Crop

Chlcago. Kansas Is ready to pour
Soiden stream Of grain into the
WORLDS flour barrel and cannot get the
freight cars. The tremendous wheat
yield. which is estimated at 147,O0o,-
ooO bushels and which has been ex
ceeded only once in the history OF the
state, is ,piling UP, while the whea,
shipping roads are suffering from
strayed equipment and diminished ia.
|cilities.
Reports to the Chicago Board of
Trade show that during the third week
Of July the Santa F'e, for instance, had
nearly 16, 600 7boxcars less than it had
a year ago. Gov. Henry Allen wired
the Interstate Commerce Commission
that at the present rate the 1920 crop
would not be moved for two years. So
acute is the car shortage that wheat
loaded is worth 2 to IA cents bushel
more than the same quality of grain in
an elevator close by.
'.This situation shows the necessity
of having world open market where
wheat for future delivery may be trad
ed in and thus prevent gigantic losses
to the farmers" said Leslie Gates,
president of the Chicago Board Of
Trade. Without the stabilizing effect
of dealing in wheat for future delivery
where the law of supply and demand
is the dominating influence, it would
be impossible. to provide even distri-
button of the crop"
In 1914. the record year, Kansas pro-
duced 1S0,0O0.OOO bushels of wheat.
The average yield per acre this year
is 1916 bushels. which has been ex-
ceeded only five. times in thirty-five
years.

Irish Riots Kill
Tourist Business

Dublin.-Killarney and other tour
lists resorts in Ireland which have
lbeen expecting a big influx of Ameri-
can visitors, are experiencing some
disappointment on account of the dis
Eruption of the railways, owing to the
refusal of the men to carry armed po-
lice and soldiers. This has caused a
Islackening in the number of persons
travelling. but the final blow came
when the military decided to take over
the hotels to replace the barracks
which the Sim Feiners had destroyed.
lit is announced that soldiers have oc-
Ecupied two of the largest hotels. in
Killarney and are erecting wireless
station there.

persistent cruelty made by wife

would pray to Gcd to send down suffi-

separation, and the case would be ad-
journed In the hope that in the mean

Argentina 70
Put Curb Upon

Buenos Aires, President Irigoyen,,
administration has just annonncad i
through Finance Minister salaberrv
that twill oppose the prohibition Hi
recently introduced into the chamber
OF deputies. Nevertheless an official
movein factor ofsthe restriction ~ me
liquor traffic is seen in the terms II
the reciprocal c0mmercial travellers,
treaty recently agreed upon between
United States Ambassador Stimson
and the president.
This treaty, which will probably be
drawn UP and signed in Washington
during Ambassador Stimson,s visit
there on leave, will provide for sin
gle federal license for American sales
men In argentina, instead of licenses
for each province, but will exclude
them from selling alcohol beverages
|under 1t. The prohibitive clause was
requested by President Irigoyen, it is
learned. 1t was accepted by the Unit
ed States government Notwithstanding
the fact that no such clause appears in
in other commercial travellers treaties
negotiated by the United States. The
<hiAA1A ASGAA PoliAy VI uilllOTIl1ly IOT
treaties of this sort has thus been
waived in favor of Argentina.
Since alcoholic liquors can no longer
be legally exported from the United
States, American statesmen natural
ly will not be affected by the clause,
but its significance lies with Argentina
in that it establishes precedent In
the direction of prohibition. 1t is
pointed out that if this treaty with the
United states is ratified, other nations
who may desire also to negotiate a.
treaty with Argentina providing for a
single federalssalesman's license would
by virtue of this precedent, have to
accept similar clause against the sale
Of intoxicating liquors Otherwise their
statesmen must continue to pay sepa-
rate license in each Of the IA provinces.
Thes vary and run as high as a thou,
sand pesos.

.Moslem Women
Suffer Keenly
AS War Result.

constantinople.- Nowhere has the
high cost of living been felt more
keenly than in Turkish harems. Men
who were formerly able to maintain
many wives and concubines find their
Establishments and are forced to turn
some of the women adrift.
American women relief workers who
have been investigating social and eco
nomic conditions say the tragedies the
Turkish women have undergone as a
result of the war are even worse than
in other European countries because
Of the utter helplessness of women
and their lack Of training which
might make them self-supporting
Worse in Cities.
The sufferings of Moslem women
are worse in cities than in the coun-
try, for the country women are fre-
quently trained to do teamwork and
are an asset to their husbands rather
than a. liability. Furthermore the eco
nofaic conditions have not been dis
tubed so seriously in rural districts.
Farming goes on much as usual. Wo-
men can find employment in olive
groves at silk culture, in fruit orch
ards, and even in grain fields.
Since the war has robbed SO many
women of the husbands, fathers OIL
other male relatives upon whom they
were dependent, many city women
have forced themselves into employ
nent which was never before regarded
as proper for Moslem women. Turk
ish women with their wells thrown
back from their faces may now be
4 seen as .saleswomen in scores of Con-
stantinople shops. They are even em-'
ployed as street sweepers.
Need for Nurses.
There has been great out
cry against Moslem women accepting
employment which forces them into
association with men, especially Chris
tian men, but the economic pressure
has been so strong that religious pre-
judices had to make way. The need
for nurses with the army gave MOS
lem women their first opportunity to-
get hospital training and become nurs-
es That was the entering wedge
which has opened the way into other
employments monopolized by Greek
and Armenian women. Turkish wo-
men may now be found in telephone
exchanges. They are acting as cash
iers, janitors and even streetcar con-
ductors.
Stern necessity has won for Turk
lsh women an Independence which
was undreamed of six years ago, and
the wall of the unframed women fore
Cd to earn their livelihood has aroused
Turkish leaders to a realization of the
necessity for better and more practical
education for women.
