Ordinarily. people expect 10 re-

one Of the officials OF great manu-

they might celebrate the occasion by
giving instead of inviting gifts.
After long deliberation it was de-

TURKISH HAREMS WERE HARD HIT
 BY HIGH COST

Constan tinople, Aug. 20.-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 concUbine es
 find their incomes insufficient to keep up large establishments and are forced to turn some of the women adrift.
 American women relief workers who have been investigating social and economic conditions say the tragedies Turkish women have undergone as a result of the war are even worse than in other European countries because of the utter nelplessness of women and their lack of training which might
 make them self-supporting.
 The sufferings of Moslem women are worse in cities than in the coun-
 try, for the country women are ire quently trained to do farmwork and are an asset to their husbands rather than a liability. Furth ermore the
 economic conditions have not been disturbed so seriously in rural dis tricts. Farming goes on much as usual. Women can find employment in olive groves, at silk culture, in fruit orchards and even in grain fields.
 | Since the war has robbed so many women of the husbands, fathers or other male relatives upon whom they were dependent, many city women have forced themselves into employ ment which was never before regard | ed as proper for Moslem women. Turk | ish women with their veils thrown | back from their faces may now be seen as saAeswomen in scores of Con-
 stantinop1e shops. They are even en- Tsloyed street SweeperS.
 There has been a great outcry | against Moslem women acceoting em- | ployn ent, which forces them into as sociation 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 l lem women their first opportunity tC
 get hospital training and become
 nurses. That was the entering wedge I which has opened the way into othei 1 employments monopolized by Greel and Armenian women. They are act | ing as cashiers janitors and ever l street car conductors.
 | Stern necessity has won for Turk l ish women an inde'~o-1once whicf | was undrea med of six years ago anC the vail of the untrained womer | forced to earn their livlihood ha: i aroused Turkish lea ders to reaIza
 tion of the necessity for better ant

PAPER MONEY OF
 GERMANY SHOWS
 NO IMPROVEMENT

Berlin, Aug. 2O-A11 the currency theorists in the world would be un- able to give a definite, positive answer to the question when an improve ment might be expected in Germany's huge paper circulation. Director Won Glasenapp of the Reichsbank has told the Associated Press cores pondent. The bank statement show ed that the paper in circulation July 15 total1ed 53,847,000 marks. This was decline of 198, 8,000,000 marks as compared with the prevous week.
 ''We shall certainly do all in our power to prevent further undue in fation of currency" he said. "As for Germany, there are only two ways and none other will avail. They are expressable in two wordS-work and thrift. Increased production will benefit both exchange and exporta- ton. From that and a nationwide return to frugal habits alone is an improvement in the paper money sit uation expectable.'
