Went on Their Way.

1t concerns a once noted member or

Here is the story just as it appeared
20 years ago:
"A most amusing reply was made by
Judge Neff to an objection made by
Attorney Vernon Burke. The replevln
suit of Capt. Joseph Doville against
Constable Hudson was on hearing.
Mr.. Burke had continually made OBJ
lection to certain testimony, and every
one of the objections was religiously
overrued by Judge Neff.
Later, Captain Doville was on the
stand and the same question came up
again.

SYMBOL OF RUSSIAN TRAGEDY
The Bourgeoica, Popular Invention,
Shows to What Depths the People
Have Been Reduced.

A b0urgeoica Is a small sheet iron
stove writes Eleanor Franklin Egan In
the Saturday Evening Post Or it may
be only 5-gallon gasoline can with
a little door at one end and q hole in
the top TO let out the smoke II Is an
Institution in soviet Russia and is an
invention of the kind of which neces-
sity Is the mother.
In the communistic habitations OF
the ruined and homeless bourgeoisie 1t
takes the place of both heating ar
engagements and the Kitchen range.
Nearly everybody makes his own bour-
geoica out of whatever materials he
may be able to come by and in social
circles it provides a topic of conversa
ton of never-ending interest Their
habits and the various methods EN-
ployed to regulate them are matters Of
primary Importance.
Its name, bestowed upon it in IRON
zeal derision, denotes its relationship
to the general scheme of things. Ii
burns nothing but tiny bits of wood
and is therefore very economical, but
when it is first set going it smokes
considerably, witirthe result that prac-
tically every bourgeois home in Russia
such as it is-smels as though its
fiues were badly out of order
1t is capable Of bringing the average
winter temperature in a fair-sized
room up to zero or maybe to 10 de-
grees above, and this is as much CON-
fort as the bourgeoisie are expected to
require. This sounds like an exag-
geration, but it is not. 1t would be i'm
possible to exaggerate any phase OF
the tragedy that has befallen Russia.

FORCED TO GIVE UP HAREMS
Financial Necessity Really the Mother
of Any Turkish Reform in
That Direction.

The word "harem," for all its rich
connotation, is now simply the name
for the women's quarters in the Turk
lsh home. Poverty in the palaces and
ont Of them Is more responsible than
western ideals for the changed condi-
ton there.
Education and the world movement
for broadening the freedom Of women
have, of course, had their influence.
The French novel also put a window of
a kind In the Turkish harem, and
many Turkish men are vigorously pro-
testing the notions of freedom which
they have put into the heads of the
women.
But necessity. rising out of the long
protracted wars, is the real mother
Of freedom for Turkish women. The
Turkish Golfers, both public and pri-
vate. are too depleted TO permit the
expensive establishments of the old
days. Men, are no longer able TO main
tain women In idleness. and war, with
its demands on man power, has made
