the Willard Storage Battery Ser
vice Station. We frequently have car
owners towed into our service sta
tion because their batteries have been
drained absolutely dry as n result of
someone having turned the switch to
"on"
1t is especially dangerous to leave
the key in a switch when the car is
kept in public garage where all
sorts of people are coming and going.
Sometimes it is necessary to do SO
in order that the garage man can
move the cars about. But in such
case, it is wise to ask the manager to
caution his men about always having
the key turned to the off position
after use.

tary general of the League of Nations

LAKE TO SEA PLAN

(By U. S. Press)

Washington, D. c., April 2e.-That
the proposed waterway from the
Great Lakes to the Atlantic is feasible
and practicable, is the opinion of the
American and Canadian engineers of
The engineers have prepared a re-
port stating that the project can be
constructed at lower cost than was
first estimated. It has been accepre1 4
as fact that the waterway will cos.
the governments of the United States
and Canada total of $25O,OOO 900
for this important project, to be divia-
ed equally between them, but, while
the exact amount estimated has not
been learned it is said to be consider
ably less than this. The engineers es-
innate that the project can be com
pleted in four years. Before work
can be commenced, however both the
American Congress and the Canadian
Parliament must take the necessary
legislative steps to put the recommen-
dations of the International Joint
Commission into effect, assuming that
the commission adopts the report OF
the engineers. The report must be
submitted to the American Congress
by the end Of August, under the terms
of the resolution directing the inves
! tigation.

Fire this afternoon shortly after
l O'Clock practically Quilted the
Inter room Of the Cotton Oil &
Ginning Company's plant here.
The origin of the fire from best
reports available at this hour was
due to the magnets on the linters
failing to work properly.
The fire was confined to this sec
tion of the mill due to the rapid
way in which the fire fighters
were able to get the water from
the nearby hydrants.
Estimated loss had not been de-

industrial conditions in Central Eu-

restored to condition of it's pre-war

The reports form the basis Of further
apprehensions in this country Of the
disorganization Of markets, the spread
Of unemployment and decentralization
in manufacturing industries, which
would be the inevitable consequences
Of an influx Of German goods.

Turkisl1Har
] Passes
(By Associated Press)

Constantinople, April 29.-The Tur-
kish harem is quickly passing as a
part of the Turkish home. Poverty
and the need for house room, and po7-
erty are the causes.
The Turkish pashes, effendis, beys
and all the well-todO of other days
whose homes were divided into the
harem and xetoaosrhdr, that is, one
half of mansion or 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 division of their houses for the
privacy of their wives and daughters
and children
Many Turkish women deplore the
necessity which compels them to live
like the .'poor European. They de-
clare that they were happier when
living apart, that the home was easier
to manage and their husbands, too.
In Constantinople the majority OF
, the private houses show this division,
but the chance to rent one side Of the
~. 1c14 nf T.
lied troops, has caused families to
live together in only one half Of their
home.
Foreigners are getting for the first
time a peep into the more aristocrat1c
of these old homes, until now hidden

walls, latticed windows and huge gates
or doorwarvs. The visit often re
veals a charming interior, with room

pire.
i AS the homes are vacated the1
elaborate European furniture, togeth
, er with much of the collections o
