NO FLIRTING IN PUBLIC ALLOWED
 AMONG TURKS
Men Will Refuse to Look at or Address Women Who
 Do Not Wear Wells
By Associated Press

Angora August 27.-Turkish men still refuse to look upon unveiled Turkish women when passing them in the streets or on the roads, despite che attempt of the latter to adopt the preachments of Halde Hanum and other workers for the freedom Of women in Asia Minor
 According to our customs, it is impolite to fiirt in public or ad dress orr look on the face of our wom- explained Turkish officer travel ing with the correspondent
 In the nationalist capital of An eora. Iialide Hanum Mufide Ferid Hanum, the author and wife of the former minister of finance, and many other women, who came out from Constantinople to support the na- tionalist movement, go about, the streets or ride horseback with their veils turned back and folded into q handsome head dress, modelled after the Russian style.
 But outside of Angora, despite the example set by American women of charity organizations, or of the ex- ample of Greek and Armenian wom- en, most of the Turkish women strictly maintain the old custom
 Applies to All
 This applies not only to women of thc bpl atE t. IT women seen working in the fields or along the roads. driving OK cafts or donkeys laden with army supplies, or wheat being exported to Russia.
 The custom Of yelling has long been modified to the extent that the face may be shown freely to the men Of the village or of the party with whom the women may be workir z or travelling. but so soon as strang CT. whether Turk or European. ap- breaches. the veil Is drawn. If the stranger is Turk he looks straight ahead. as if the women were not present. If the European or Amer ican turns his head to catch a glimpse of the women. they hurriediy pull the veil closer, so only the eyes can be seen. The older the woman the closer the Xeil is drawn.
 As the pretty gauge or thin cloths of pre-war days, white. blue. black or brown. cannot be had. the vens are often of coarse white cotton. ana in the case of the working women the cloth may be q stiff heavy cot ton which selves as a sun bonnet. Sometimes the headpiece drops to the waist or further, and can scarcely be distinguished from the loose, flowing garments so characteristic of the ! Orient. If the wearer he very poor, the veil and other garments may be but a crazy quilt thing of patches of all colors and thicKnssses, pa thst- 'ically mended and Drowned by sun and weather.

alleys, etc, is done, in order that the pavements may be of greatest service and of longest life, it is necessary to lay all sewers of every kind, water mains, gas mains. and to extend 10 every lot a connection or service pipe to these utilities. Stubs of fire hy- drants should be extended from the water main inside the curb at dis tances not exceeding GOO feet apart in order to afford the best fire pro- tection and lowest insurance rates, all of which is paid for by the prop erty owner.
 ! Next in order is the laying of pave ments, sidewalks, curbs. gutters, etc. All high class pavements now are laid upon heavy concrete base or founda tions. and having previously laid the utilities above named it is never thereafter necessary to cut into the pavement for any purpose what soever, thus maintaining it in it's original color and condition for an indefinite period. Incidentally run ming the extension for water, gas and sewer into each lot means di- rect saving to the purchaser Of that lot of quite an appreciable sum of money.
 After these things are done, it is necessary to extend the electric serv- ice lines throughout the property also at the expense of the other.
 By this time as you will see the development has invested a very large sum of money if the property is of any considerable size.
 From the day the last part of the work is completed interest charges and taxes begin to accrue, in fact they usually begin to accrue before that time, and he must estimate the length of time necessary to sell all the property so that he may average the( cost to him in interest on his. investment and taxes which cost must

Few people have any idea what i' costs to manufacture" a building lot, particularly high class building lot, carrying with it all street improve ments and utilities. in other words, what might be called a finished prod uct
 The problems confronting .ha manufacturer" of lot are funda- mentally the same as those which confront the >manufacturer of any other finished product. Briefly, hey are:
 Cost of raw matoriais.
 Labor.
 Loss of raw material in process ot manufac cture.
 Overhead charges, such as taxes, interest, office expense. etc, com mission to salesmen, automobile eX- pense and advertising.
 Presuming that the raw material or acreage has been selected In the right place, and that good Judgment has been used in acquiring it at a fair price there begins more or less prolonged study involving careful surveys, showing the topography pf the land. and indicating th,e best manner in which it may be devel- oped so that the streets may be as pretty as possible and have the east est grades. The loss in acreage re- quired for streets, alleys. park spaces and other areas which cannot be sod. will be developed by the surveys These losses run from 25 to 40 per cent of the total area, which loss, of course. increases the cost of the available portion by that amount. + frequently takes weeks of careful study and numerous surveys, all of which are made by skilled, and con sequently high priced men, before 0 definite layout" is decided upon.

WOULD ALLOW ALI WORK|NGMEN ID
 SHARE IN PROFITS
By Associated Press

Mexico City, August 27.--A law
 recently passed and promulgated in the state of Vera Cruz to permit
 Workmen to share in the profits ot
 any industry in that state has met with much protest and threat is made that if there is any attempt to carry
 it into effect general paralysis of
 industry will result.
 The law calls for the establishment of commission of seven, three em-
 ployers and three workmen and a chairman selected jointly, in each
 municipality in the state which, at least once annually, shall call for the
 books of all industrial concerns and. after a careful audit, shall name the
 share of the laborers. The workmen are to receive not less than 1 O per cent of the total net profits. No maxi
 mum is stated.
 The chairman is to be named by the president of the municipality if
 his selection cannot be mutually agreed upon by the employers and the
 workmen. It is pointed out by those who oppose the law that this will almost result in the naming of a
 workman, inasmuch as virtually all
 the presidents of municipalities are laborers. Profits to Re Divided
 The profits to be divided. accord ing to the law, will be understood to be the net earnings realized in the business after taking into con sideration the interest and the amort- iization of the capital invested. The interest will not exceed 6 per cent per annum and the\amortization will be adjusted according to the nature ot
 the capital, but must never exceed 10 per cent of the capital of the inn movable estate"
 One of the principal objections made to the law is that 1t is retro active to February 5, 19i7. An elabo- rate system of embarsoes and fines lis provided in case the employers fail to comply with the orders of tho commi ssion or are discovered att
 tcmpting to evade any of it's findings. Goods and properties may be sold at lublic auction to secure payment. Mexican newspapers almost as .
 unit are opposed to the law and are supporting the. industries in their att ! tempt to have federal action taken against 1t. Committees epresenting various chambers of commerce have
 conferred with President Obregon.
 who is now considering if relief meas
 ures are possible. Legislatures in other states have given indications
 that similar laws are contemplated
 there.

Reyk javik, Iceland. August 27.-- The first King of Iceland set foot for the first time, yesterday on fec by the islanders to Christian of Denmark. and also of Iceland, bore solemnly fervent character; ap- parently more solemn than was anticipated by the gay, easy gong crowd of Danish visitors who had come over for the occasion.

 The Cost of Manufacturing a Building Lot

be prorated so that each lot shall bear it's just proportion of these items of expense.
 The developer is now ready to put his property on the market, and he is confronted by a still further eX- pense in the shape of office main tenance, advertising, commission and other necessary incidentals, all of which, except the commission, must be averaged and prorated as above indicated. After reaching this point, the owner of the property must de- eide how much profit can safely be added to the cost of manufacturing his product. It must not be too great so that it will make the price too high to sell readily; on the other hand it must not be too low, as in that case the venture would not be profitable enough to justify all the risk and la bor involved in the undertaking. There Is always a risk in such de- velopments, as they usually extend over period of years, and no one can foretell financial conditions nor the possibility of war for any consld- erable time in advance.
 If the average lot purchaser could be made to fully appreciate all that has been done for him by the develop CT of the property, he would realize that the developer or the manufac- turer of the finished building lot is d benefactor to the community, and any set of people who avaial themselves of the opportunities presented by such development, and that it re- quires faith in the future of the com munity, more or less large sum of money, and considerable nerve to take the raw material or acreage of land and convert it into the "manu- factured" or finished product of a Minister of Finance, signed it. the high-class building lot.

Drunkenness on the
 Increase in England
 By About 65 Per ( ent
Rx Aasociated Press

London, August 27.-Drunkenness increased by over 65 per cent in Eng land during last year. according to official licensing statistics. The re- action after the war period of sobriety was shown by 95.763 con victions. compared with 57,e4s in 1919. There were only 2s,o75 convic- tiens in 1918.
 The convictions of women were S6 per cent more than in 1919, and more than double tEe total of 1918.
 The Daily Express, while admitting the figures are startling. attributes the increase in convictions to the continuance of early closing regulA- tions enforced during the war and suggests that people who are denied reasonable facilities for obtaining liquor, have taken in their resent ment more than was good for them when they could get it." The paper also holds that the closing of prop erly-conducted saloons has led to the opening of many bogus clubs and H. licit drinking dens. sar
 Official health returns for fs3o just issued indicate, on tho other hand, that the nation as whole is dis tinctly healthier. Tuberculosis fig possibility of fraud is In the counting of the votes.

This party had contended that under the old law it had been robbed of elec- tions by fraudulent voting and at several elections it's followers ab- stained from the polls, saying 1t was useless to vote.

Your Industrial Declaration of
 Independence

According to old English law "a mans Ihouseis his castle"
 A nation writes it's dominant instincts into it's laws. Thus the sturdy independence of the English race is expressed in the axiom we have just quoted. It may be called the original Declaration of Independence.
 We hold this truth to be self-evident that no man is independent who does not own his home. It is never too late to achieve this free dom. Now is an suspicious time. Select and buy the lot NOW, plan your home carefully and be ready to build when the flag drops. Remember you date your individual Decla- ration of Independence from the time you buy your lot.

 I To Probe Banking Methods
 The council announced its intention to investigate the methods used by the banking institutions and insur- ance companies of the country m handling funds entrusted to their care for investment and safekeeping of the wage earners.
 l , "It intends that the savings of the worker" it was stated, shall no longer be used to deprive them of their constitutional and economic rights and opportunities.
 The executive council does not view the granting of corporate charters for the advancement of our | financial, commercial and industrial interests as a governmental policy that should be discouraged" add,d the statement. ITO the contrary it 1 is our firm conviction that much good I has come to civilization by the ap- 1 proval of the cooperative principles fundamentally underlying the en- ! couragement of corporate enterprise.
 
 enable gigantic and marvellous under takings. which are inconceivable of accomplishment by individual efforts and individval enterprise.
 Indeed. the executive council views many of the attempts being made to prevent the further applica- ton of the principles of operation in our industrial life as distinctly harmful to the progressive advance ment of our nation and civilization. What deeply concerns the wage earn CTS and citizens of our land is the un- fair. unjust and unreasonable dis crimination that is being made against the workers in denying to them the same rights and privileges enjoyed by those in control of the corporate wealth of the nation. "Corporate industries today pre- sent the situation of where these cor porate organizations of industry re- coive every possible protection and encouragement from the government and whre she wage earners receive only discourageme and are met on every hand with active hostilities on the part of those entrusted with the sacred function of administering cur 1 affairs of government in an ompar- tial and humane way.
