TURKISH HAREM IS
 BEGINNING 10 SLIP
Poverty and Need for House Room Are Alleged Causes.
 Women DepIore
By Associated Press

Constantinople. April SO.-The Turkish harem is quickly passing as a part of the Turkish home Poverty and the need for house room are the causes.
 The Turkish pashas, effendis, beys and all the well-to-do of other days whose homes were divided into the harem and the haremlik. that is, one-half of @ man sion palace for the women and the other for the men. are parting with this luxury as they have parted with their carriages, horses, jewels and lands. The peasants still keep a division of their houses for the privacy of their wives and daughters and children.
 Many Turkish women deplore the neo- esslty which compels them to live like the "poor European" They declare that they were happier when living apart that the home was easier to manage and their husbands too.
 In Constantlnople the majority of the private houses show this division, but the chance to rent one side of the house or else the requlsitions of allied troops, las caused families to live together in only one-half of their home.
 Foreigners arc getting for the first time a peep into the more aristocratic of these old homes, until now hidden in the mystery of protecting garden walls,
 atticed windows and huge gates or doorways The visit often reveals a charming interior, with room, walls and

NEW MAXWELL

 SPLENDID VALUE
So Says H. M. Bailey of Motor Sales Corporation, DiS- tributorS for Maxwell
 ana Chalmers

When the new ana powerful or ganization behind the good Maxwell announced their intention of building a product so good that it's value could not remain for a moment in question, they put the case very mildly" says Ii. M. Bailey, local Maxwell Chalmers distributor
 Everywhere, the good Maxwell IS proving to be more than is claimed for it. TeIegrams and ieters have been coming in to the factory daily from all over the country, telling of some new achievement performed with this good car.
 Owners are unanimous in express ing actual wonder at it's smooth run ming qualities in all speeds and at the unusual economy that characterizes ali models
 Wallace Irwin, the well known au- thor. found time recently to write a letter of appreciation of his good Max we'll, describing the excellent service it had rendered him while he was working in the Japanese settlements of California, gathering material for lis novel Seed of the Sum-
 With all its comfortable riding qualities, it's economy. it's dependabil- ity, and its smart appearance, the price of this good car has been kept remarkably low. As a result, the good Maxwell is enjoying a nation wide in- crease in popularity"

 STARTLING FACTS
 The revelations are startling enough. They are complete There is only one figure which stands out in any of the old-time glory. In the procession of in- trigue, incompetence. pettiness and stu pdity, Sir William Robertson Is seen as a figure of real worth whose ability cleared up the vast and almost unfath- omable administrative chaos that Kitchener left behind him
 Captain Wright will need to be an swered, but in view of the extraordinary mass of detail and documentary evidence he adduces it is not likely that he will be seriously challenged The only reply so far expressed is that Captain Wright has betrayed a confidence reposed in him The documents he handled were private documents, and should not have been made public"

NATION s WHEAT .CROP INCREASES

WASHINGTON, June S.--rhc coun- try's combined winter and spring wheat crop promises to be 43,0DO, 900 bushels larger than last years, based On forecasts of production announc- ed today by the department of agri- culture. There will be a smaller crop of oats, barley and hay than last year. while the apple crop will not be half so large and the peach crop will be much smaller
 Winter wheat, which a month ago promised crop of 629,000.000 bushels came through May in good shape in several states and as a result the forecast of production showed re- duetion of 51.Q00,000 bushels. bring ing the total to the same quantity as produced last year. Kansas, premier wheat state, reported decline in con dition of the crop from S4 per cent of normal on May l. to 60 on June l, which resulted in a reduction in that states forecast by 33,000.000 bushels. In Nebraska, the condition dropped from 92 to 75 and in Oklahoma from S4 to 70.
 The spring wheat crop forecast in- dicates 43,000,000 bushels more than last years crop. The condition is bet ter than 8. year ago while the acre : age is somewhat smaller. An acre yield of f3.9 bushels is forecast, com pared with 10.S bushels last year.

PACKERS URGE WAGE REDUCTION
Chicago Houses Say Depres- sion Will Not End Until
 Wages, Interest Drop

CHICAGO, June S.--A further wage reduction of five cents an hour for all pscking house employees paid on an hourly basis and proportional cuts for piece workers, was asked today " the Chicago packers in a petition filed with Federal Judge Samuel Alschuler, federal arbiter.
 The reductions, if granted. would fleet approximately 60,O00 workers in all parts of the country. The peti- tion asked that full hearing be held before June 19 and requested that the reductions bemade retroactive to that date.
 Relief from the penalties imposed on the packers in the form of work ing hour restrictions also was asked. WithSthe hour day in force. it was explained, the packers were guaran- teeing 40 hours of work per week and paying over time after s hours It was suggested that this be changed to a guarantee of 4s hours work and the agreement obliging them to pay overtime after eight hours be abol- ished. Thus oertime would only be naid after 4S hours work week.
 The minimum rate now paid is 45 cents per hour to which it was cut from 53 cents in March following the abrogation by the packers in Febru-. srv Of war time agreement under which Judge Alschuler was the me diator At that time the packers. after conferences with President Harding and-Secretary Davis, agreed ito continue the arbitration agree ment until September 1 and the em- rloyes agreed to accept wage reduc- tions averaging about 15 per cent. s Al present, industry is passing through a period of depression" the pet.tion said. But we are only in the first stages of business depres- sion. Although wholesale commodity prices have materially declined. in- terest rates and wages are still high. The history of business cycles shows clearly that both wages and interest Satas must fall substantially from the peak level before business can get out of the trough"N
