Tourists in Near East Since 1914

the lildiz miharet appeared the Nl&te-
robed priest, intoning, There is no Ced
but Allah, and Mahommed is his prophet
Ii is better to pray than to work." -
Upon this summons, out through the
palace gate came simple. two-horse car
riaee. guarded by outriders. and
by an elderly, rather d-faced nan,
clad in magnificent uniform. Again Tie
American cameras clicked. while, salut-
ing most graciously, the sultan-the pope
Of Islam--drove past. The officers and
soldiers presented arms, and there went
up an indescribably barbaric shout Of
acclamation. Stepping from his carriage,
the padishah, entered the mosque. After
half an hour of prayer, he entered his
carriage again and disappeared at the
same palace gate through which he had
come. The comment Of our American
guests upon this impressive ceremony,
was to the effect that it showed Islam to
be still religion rooted in milifarism.
"On our part, We were struck by how
little is apparently realized in America
of the condition of the people here. The
tourists were constantly exclaiming over
the shocking state Of poverty exhibited
by passers-by. The answer is that there
are in this city some 10000 refugees,
due to war and political conditions. While
the Near East Relief distributes daily
1000 loaves of bread and a ton of other
foods. its crying need at the moment is
Americas casi-of clothes, to cover the
semi-nakedness of the people whose con-
dition so shocked the American tourists.
Since their departure, four more tourist
ships have touched here, with total of
2,400 American visitors, this season."

UTILITY VALUATION.

That the net earnings Of public
utility do not constitute fair basi!
for lis assessment and taxation is the
contention Of George NJ. Hagce, State
Tax Commissioner. Mr.. Hasee's stale
ment is indicative Of general trend
Of thought.
Net earnings Of a corporation are moi
alone the measure Of its valuation; the
element Of personal integrity and capa'
biliiy also enters into the matter. Fol-
example. two plants which cost exactly
the same TO construct, which receive the
same rates, and are located in equal.
ly advantageous positions, may earn d.
yidends which do not compart with one
another. The first, plant may earn 6
per cent on its investment; the second
Dare per cent.
The ability of the group which is
managing the corporation must be tax
en- into consideration. One, by con-
slani planning, saving, and cutting Of
expenses. may be able to operate its
plant at good profit. Another, by
carc'cs,ncss. inability or lack of fore
sight may scarcely pay expenses. A nom
paying plant may be converted into a
paving one by the addition Of nothing
but enterprise. That enterprise, on the
basis Of valuation by net earnings. will
be heavily taxed.
Such a system is little more than
the placing of a premium on inability;
n discouragement Of executive efficiency.
When the capable man is penalized for
the putting into practice Of his capa-
biliiy. our present system is obviously
inrnrrlrt.

The enthusiastic reception given them by
resident Americans, and also by native
bazar keepers and cab drivers who longed
for the sight of the great American dol.

from Leo ]. Richards.
Richards is the son Of T. J. Richards
Of Trenton. He is a graduate of the
University of Missouri, served with the
seventeenth Engineers in France, and was
later connected with the National City
Bank of New York. At present he is in
the service of the Near East Relief at
Constantinople.
He writes: I'VE Near East Relief work
ers, here in Constantinople, experienced
a real thrill when, somewhat over a month

Stripes, and carrying 800 American tour
lists, steamed up the Marmora and an

needless TO tell you, those who exper-

CLOSE TO DEATH.
camping-0ut Females Endan-
gered by Wild Animals.
Presumably That Was the Way They
Would Write Home About 1t,
but Here Are the Facts

She had been out from the 'old
country" for some time and wild ami
mails aroused no fear i'm her. In fact
fear was something she did not pos
sess and she was also very contemp-
tu0us of those who were nervous or
afraid.
She had started a tea house on a
mountain top in the Canadian Rockies
and two of her friends from England
had been so much interested in the
descriptions of life in the West as
related in her letters that they had
agreed to come out and help her in
her venture
They were to share a tent. while
she had one nearby. She gave them
comfortable military cots and thought
all was well. when she was recalled
by them the first night out by being
asked in fearful tones if there were
wild animals in this part of the noun
tain.
'Oh, certainly" she said. They're
all about
But will they get into our tent?"
they asked.
'Oh, / don't believe so-possihly
just a little gopher or a chipmunk.
Of course. if you hear bear you may
call me, though l hardly think you
will hear one or see one"
Nervously the two were left alone
and went to bed. Two hours went by.
when the hardened woodslady was
aroused by ShriekS.
wild animals under our beds"
they called "Wild animals Terrible
looking wild animals
Sleepy and annoyed she made her
way to their tent her gun in hand.
Perhaps, after all. bear was around.
Well, only the female grizzlies were
dangerous and they would not be
around. Yet
Under our beds. See! A whole
family of them."
And the terrified girls shivered at
the proximity of the wild, wild ami
mails inhabiting their tent.
The hardened woodslady looked I'M
der the cots To have disturbed her
sleep for this. Furiously she turned
upon the two girls
go TO sleep. you FOOLS she said.
Those are only porcupines." And
she left them-not in the least COM
fOrted or reasSured.

EVELYN

+ IKE so many feminine names, Eve
lyn comes from Aoiffe, whose
more modern equivalent was Eva. In
early times Aevin, or Evin. was occa-
siOnally found in the house of Ken
nedy, but Eveleen is by far the most
common form of both names in Ire
land.
Aveline, or Eveline, made their APP
pearanee among the Normans long be-
fore the marriage of the earl of Penn
broke. Aveline was the name of the
sister of Gunnar, the great-grandmoth-
er of William the Conqueror, and Ave-
line, or Eveline, was so favorite Nor
man name that it we'll suits the Lady
of the Garde Douloureuse in the Be
trothed"
Avelina de Longo Campo, as the
name is Latinized in old chronicles,
married the last earl of Lancaster and
her daughter. the heiresS Avelina, or
Eveline. brought to her husband and
his sons by subsequent marriage, the
great county of Lancaster, thus estab-
fishing the widespread power of the
Red Rose. An Eveline Elstove lived
i'm 1889, but. though history faithfully
chronicles her name, there is no rec
ord of her activities or explanation
concerning the reason for her carefully
preserved memory.
The name suffered a temporary
eclipse in England in the early Seven
teenth century, but was revived in an
ornamental fashion by Miss Burney's
'Evalina." Since then, its vogue has
been unquestiOnable, but it would be
difficult to say what affected influence
brought about the change i'm spelling
TO Evelyn. EtymolOgists insist that it
should only be spelled with ''y" if it
is meant to initiate the old French
form of the Latin avellana, meaning
hazel. Eveiine is really mans name
and few women have used that form,
preferring rather to employ Evelina, or
Evelyn.
Cats-eye is Evelyn's jewel. It's mys-
terious translucent depths, shot with
green, indicates vigilant charm
against evil spirits and promises it's
wearer immunity from all harm. Thurs
day is her lucky day and 6 her lucky
number.

Post Office Cautions Hunter,

Approach OF the hunting season
prompted the Post Office department
to issue instructions the other day
regarding the shipment of bodies of
game animals and birds through the
mails, the Boston Transcript states.
The regulations prohibit the accept
ance for mailing of any parcels of this
sort where the game has been killed
or offered for shipment in violation
of the laws If any state, territory or
district. In cases of the sending of
bodies of game animals and birds
lawfully the packages must be proper
ly marked and conform to all LOCAL

POStmasters are cautioned to see
that these rules are observed through

ONES BEST SEASON VARIES
Youth Likes the Spring, but Elders
"Feel Oats" in the Later Periods
of the Year.

III you are woman and nave
reached the age o.. say. sweet and
thirty or sweet and forty, you may
hesitate to answer this question right
out in meeting But you may find en-
tertainment or instruction in pro
pounding it to yourself in the depths
of your soul. This is the question:
In what season of the year do /
feel my best-spring, summer, autumn
or winter?"
At first sight the catch is not visible
TO the naked eye. But a scholarly per-
son connected with an institution of
learning not many miles from the At
lantic ocean is collecting statistics
with a view To learning whether most
people do not exhibit their best pow
ers at the season of the year CORE
spending To their ages.
Hitherto the statistics collected by
the scholarly person before mentioned
seem TO favor the view that infants up
TO twenty-one find themselves at their
best from the middle of March to- the
middle of June, urchins from twenty
one to forty-two flourish most richly
from the middle of June to the middle
of September. lads and lassies from
forty-two TO siXty-three blossom from
that point on to the middle of Decem-
Der. and youngsters from sixty-three
TO eightyfour and upward feel their
oats between Christmas and the mid
die of March.
The statistics of the scholarly per-
son were started with young people of
both sexes organized in university
classes, and the result was overwhelm-
ingly in favor of springtime. But there
is such a general human sentiment of
love for spring, whose magic is sung
by all poets in all languages, that the
investigator wondered whether a SIM
liar result might not follow a canvass
among persons of mature age.
Here, however, he was agreeably dis
appointed. He found his hypothesis
supported by substantial balance of
preference on the part of men and
women for the seasons approximately
corresponding with their own seasons
in the cycle of life.-New York Sun.

GOOD QUEEN LII"
Recalling Occasion of Royalty's
Visit to Washington.
the Capital to Seek Restitution
of Her Prerogatives.

Official Washington had put on her
very best clothes and made ready to
give royal welcome TO royal guest.
True. this visitor no longer occupied
q throne, nor was she ever likely to.
She did not even move in the court
circle, she was the court circle, and
although that august body had moved
around until it had reached its last
lap, still, by nature of its former
status, it was deserving of attention.
This visitor was the last of the Ha-
waiian dynasty, Queen Liliuokalanl,
popularity known in this country as
queen Lii, writes Margaret Bell in the
Boston Globe She was an imposing
looking woman, not exactly handsome,
as we understand the term, but of such
obvious strength of character as to
rally respect TO her standard wherever
she went This particular visit to
Washington was for the purpose OF IN
teresting congress in her affairs. Be-
ing no longer a queen with royal
rights, she looked to this country to
reimburse her for her sacrifices.
Queen LIS story is unique. When
an infant she was given by her par
ents to another chieftain, a custom long
fostered among Hawaiian royalty be-
cause this exchange of children was
supposed to promote good fellowship
among the different tribes and harmony
throughout the islands.
At the age of four she was sent
to boarding school, where she learned
TO speak English and think Christian.
She spent all of her childhood and
some of her young womanhood in
school, and when she was twenty-four
married an American, John DOminis
the son of sea captain.
She had twenty-nine years compara-
tive freedom: then her real troubles
began. Her brother, the king, dying,
Liliuokalani became queen, but with
out the pomp and grandeur which usu-
ally accompany such social elevation.
Before | had time to collect my
SELF" she said, ga trap was sprung
on me by the wild hosts with whom
was surrounded document was
thrust before her by the cabinet, great
iy restricting her power. To this she
objected, and the storm broke.
Queen Lii managed to keep her
throne for two years. During that
time her husband died and she found
herself deprived of a very vital moral
prop. The organization of q prOvi-
SIGNAL government in 1893. under San
ford Il. Dole, brought about her abdi
carton and gave the islands one OF
the best administrations in their whole
history.
Ambitions began to stir within Lili
uokaiani, however. and urged her tt
plot to regain her throne. But there
were enemies around her, and her am
bitioits were learned, with the result
that Queen Lii was thrown into prison
Tha. settled it. In eight days she
renourced forever all claims to the
throne
