FRENCHMAN owns
ONLY HAREM LEFT
Turk Women Have Been Eman-
Cipated, But Some Cling

CONSTANTINOPLE. March Is.
There is only one harem left in Con-
stantinople and that is owned by a
Frenchman.
A French correspondent, who spent
several weeks here. thought that his
visit would not be complete until he
had visited a harem. He asked one
OF his Turkish friends to arrange it,
But there is only one harem left,
replied the Turk. at is maintained
with very strict discipline and accord
ing to the best traditions. But per-
haps you yourself would have a better
chance of seeing 1t. for this last
harem belongs to one OF your com
patriots. the Baron Durdeau Bey.
The last Turk is a Frenchman."
The women of Constantinople have
been emancipated, it is true, but in
the streets they wear what appears
almost like a uniform. The cut OF
all the street costumes Is almost the
same. the only difference being in
the colors. Many women who still
have some respect for the old
costumes. wear small wells to hide
their faces. In the mosques and even
In the street cars and railway trains
special compartments with curtains
are reserved for them, presenting a

bent on big time" can sweep this
away. few movie shows. two or
three theaters and the Russian
restaurants form the city's night life.
CABARETs A LA RUSS.
The Russian restaurants are quite
remarkable. Their decorations are
most bizarre; each one provides
long haired violinist and lightly
clad dancer to provide entertainment.
and the service is entrusted to women
who came from wealthy Russian
families, now refugees. Each table
bears card indicating the name of
.he waitress, and in this way
stranger learns that his zakouski or
roast will be served by the Countess
or the Princess H. They are treated
with the greatest ceremony by the
Russians who frequent these places,
and it is not uncommon to see a Rus
sian guest kiss the hand OF waitress
before seating himself at a table.
Greeks are to be seen everywhere
When King Alexander died the entire
city was covered with Greek flags
draped in mourning. The tiniest
shops put out pictures OF the dead
King and half the stores were closed
the day of the funeral.
An American pays about 81 to sS a
day for room in a good hotel. A
haircut, with tonic, costs 75 cents. and
a bottle of beer IS cents. An auto
mobile may be hired for SIS an hour,
but all these prices fail to take
into consideration tips, which are
abnormally high.

many of the other large cities OF the
world, Constantinople Is now suffer
ing from a "crime wave" Before the
war, say the Turks, they could leave
their doors open at night without
serious risk. Now shootings and rob-
berries occur every night.

Iof a woman jury In Iowa, when the
judge solemnly announced that time
would be given for the women TO
powder their faces during the sitting.
A law court official said that such
concessions were quite unnecessary.
I'm the first place the women
chosen are not of the powder pun
and rouge stick type. When nappers
are chosen for jurors II will be
time enough to think OF powder
pun intervals.
This would not be granted, how
ever. All these matters could be
seen to out OF court. Besides. the light

Un-American Conditions Found
to Exist In Three Rhode
Island Cities.
CHILDREN 1T HARD LABOR
Employment Aftsr School Hours, and
Frequently After Work In Factories
and Stores, Has Had Bad Effect, 40
eordins to School Teachers.

In an investigation Of children en-.
gaged in Industrial home work In three |
Rhode Island cities made by the chill
dren's bureau Of the United States De-
partment Of Labor, It was found that
8 per cent of all the children between
five and fifteen years Of age had at |
some time during the year done fac
tory work In their homes, either BY
hand or machine. They assembled
jewelry, strung, beads, finished lace and |
underwear, carded snaps and shoe but
tons, and performed many other simple
operations Incidental to manufacture.
In the majority Of cases the fact
'ilat the family was in need was given
as the reason for home work. This
work, however, added but little to the
family income, since the average earn
Ings for each family during the year
from this source were only $4S. Over
half the children could not earn a.
much as cents an hour.
Many Of the children worked not
only after school, but also In the eve
nings; some worked exclusively at
night. A, few OF the children who
worked all day in factories or stores
also worked at home every night. and
eyestrain was commonly reported.
Teachers and school officials stated
that home work interfered, with school
attendance and the quality Of school
work.
The homework system makes a fac
tory out of the home. and the workers
are subject to hazards from which they
are not safeguarded by law. The
health Of the community is endangered
by the use offclothin and other ar
ticles made in. homes n which infec-
tiOus diseases are presknt. More than
half the employers interviewed stated
that 1t would be possible to make re-
adjustments in their factories If the
system Of home work were abolished.
Clothing Workers Protest wage Cut.
Chicago clothing workers, members
of the Amalgamated Garment Workers
Of America, through President Sidney
Hillman protested against the pro-
posed cut in wages which clothing
manufacturers assert is necessary to
keep their shops open. The workers,
who number more than 10000, pre-
sented their case to board Of arbitra-
ton. A decision Is expected within
two weeks.
