TURKISH WOMEN MUTINY;
DISCARD THE SACRED VEIL.

CONSTANTINOPLE, May IA.
The command of the Sheik-ul- Islam,
Vicar of the Sultan, ordering Turk
ish women not to appear on the
stage, is being ignored by them. The
German-Austrian and Allied oecupa-
lions of the city, together with the
loss of husbands, fathers, brothers,
and the press of poverty, has brot
a new freedom to Turkish women.
This is daily seen by their clothing.
They wear their wells still, instead
of a hat, but turned back and tied
into a pretty knot, after the manner
Of their Russian refugee sisters.
Because of the high price of cloth
Turkish women no longer wear u
multitude Of garments, designed in
old times to hide the outlines of
their figures. Both veil and dresses
are a deep sea blue, instead of the
dull, conventional black once the
custom. Some affect the homespun
brown dress, the becoming garment
designed by Halide Hanum, the
Nationalist woman leader.
These changes have dissipated the
mystery which once enveloped the
Turkish woman and Americans here
find that she does not differ in looks
very much from others. On the
average, they are not so good look
ing as the American woman. The
differences may be said to lie in
their timidity. Even this quality is
dissipated quickly when they come
in contact with foreigners, as is the
case in the mixed receptions given at
the Constantinople College for girls
maintained here by Americans. At
such receptions the Turkish girls
and women talk brightly and cleverly
with American naval officers and
other guests, and sometimes take
part in the dancing and flirtations.

RED CROSS is GIVING AID
TO MANY EX.SERVICE MEN

SAN FRANCISCO, May 14-Cal!s
for help from veterans of the World
War and their families to the Red
Cross are increasing constantly, ac-
cording to a statement issued by
the Pacific division of the Red Cross
here today. The peak of the relief
work has not been reached.
Reviewing the work of the 100
Red Cross chapters in California,
Nevada and Arizona during the last
twelve months, the statement says
63,733 soldier cases were handled
During the period $341,O1S.4s was
expended for relief work.
Work of aiding the former SOL
diers is handled by Red Cross home
service committees. These same COM
mittees started their work during
the war and have continued it since.
In addition to the work conducted
by the various chapters, the state
ment says, The Pacific Division has
the highest disqualification task of
any of the Red Cross divisions. In
the western division, there are six
United States Public Health Service
hospitals.
Records in an average month
show that in that time more than
1000 patients in the hospitals were
treated. The six hospitals are Ar
rowhead Hospital, at Arrowhead,
Nevada; Marine Hospital, at San
Francisco; Kearney Hospital, at San
Diego; Palo Alto Hospital, at Palo
Alto, CAL; Tuscon Hospital, at
Tuscon, and Whipple Barracks Hos
pital, at Prescott, Arizona. In ad-
dition to the patients at the Gov
eminent hospitals, 867 patients were
treated in contract hospitals" in
the divisions territory.
Hundreds of soldier cases are
brought to the attention of Red
Cross chapters daily" the statement
says. "In 1920 chapters dealing d.
rectly with the various Government
departments or indirectly through
national Red Cross headquarters in
Washington, handled, throughout the
nation, more than 100000 service
claims"

APPLICANTS FLASH ROLLS
BUT NOT THE WISE BIRDS

SAN FRANCISCO, May 14-Offi-
Gals of the San Francisco marriage
license bureau say that because
prospective bridegrooms endeavor to
display money in large rolls, their
Office is called upon to change more
money daily than any other county
office, except that of the treasurer.
A small boy is kept busy by the
bureau getting $40, $50 and $50
bills changed.
"This is the greatest place in the
world for a man to put up a big
front " declares the deputy county
clerk, who is in charge Of the license
bureau. "Men, young, middle-aged
and old, come here with their pros
pective brides and take out marriage
licenses. They know the license is
81 but they come with about all
the money they can lay their hands
on, done up in a roll
"They change the money before
they come into the biggest bills
they can get and then come out here
and make flash before their brides
to-be.
"Of course some men do not do
this. The really successful business
man usually pays in silver. It is not
unusual for a wealthy man, particu-
" if it is his second or third mar
rage, to show no bills at all but to
ask the bride if she has any change.
"Men who have been married be-
fore generally show the wisdom of
never showing too much money"
