YSHORRORS
 OF HAREM LIFE
 ARE |MAC|NARY
Daughter of Ottoman Senator Declares Turkish Wife Is
 Happier Than American

NEW YORK, Sept. 30.-Since the outbreak of hostilities between the Greeks and the Turks in Asia Minor, America is again being flooded with tales of horrors of the Turkish harem.
 The cruel and brutal husband is not unknown in Turkey-nor is he unknown in America, as witness the records of the American divorce courts.
 I have found many popular miscon- captions in America of the life of the Turkish married woman.
 To the average American mention of the harem brings to his mind a picture of portly gentleman lolling at ease on a divan, propped up by nu- merous gorgeously colOred cushions, with miniature pony ballet composed of his many wives in front of him.
 One Wife Enough
 But in the interest of truth it is necessary for me to destroy that fairy ideal.
 While the Koran permits to the Mos lem four wives, not more than one modern Turk in a hundred, avails himself of the privilege.
 One wofe is about all that he can successfully manage.
 A Turkish wife has the same duties, the same cares the same rights and the same privileges as any American wife.
 l might dance with my husband but not for him.
 l would sing or play piano for him the same as my American wife would do.
 Another fallacy of American belief that l must destroy, is that no man may see a Turkish woman's face ex- cept her husband.
 That was true up to the time of Abdul Hamid. But durins the past ten years, the custom has gradually died out.
 Turkish women now appear in pub lie without the veil covering the faces though, being true daughters of Eve, they retain its beautiful lines by wear ing it draped from the side of the head.
 To such state of freedom have the Turkish women obtained, that in Con- stantinople the ladies of society-a class which is Europe ardently fol lows the races-place their bets with men as freely as the women of any Christian nation.
 Any Turkish woman may go freely about the streets unveiled while she does her shopping or visits her friends.
 She is not guarded by slaves, ex- cepting in the case of the women of the royal family, who also wear the yashmak or face covering.
 Turkish women today are admitted to the University at Stamboul and to the medical schools, and are also free ly employed in business.
 The only remaining restriction up on the Turkish wife is the custom oi not appearing in public places with her husband. But even that last re maining barrier to complete freedom is gradually being overthrown.

 Will that torn and wrinkled piece of paper send the man to the electric chair?

 This is the story of the killing of Jack Bergen:

 Cline. immediately taken into GUS today, stated that during an argument in which he accused Bergen of attack ing his wife, the movie daredevil started to fight. Cline says he shot in self-defense.
 The day following his arrest, Cline changed his story.
 It became d movie thriller
 He said that he had challenged Ser gen to a duel, gave him a revolver and then drove him upstairs to fight it out. While turning out the light SO that the duel would take place in the dark, Cline said Bergen tried to fire at him. The men grappled. During the strug- gle, according to Cline's story. the revolver was discharged and Bergen was shot.
 He said that the challenge to the duel had been made after Bergen had declared his love for Mrs. Cline in her presence and that of her two brothers. Charels and Lawrence Scullion.
 The prosecutors office continued it's investigation and found that Miss Alice Thornton, an attractive blond. 19 years old, had been in the Cline home dur ing the night of the shooting. She was an acquaintance of Bergen.
 She admitted that it was she who had talked to Cline of his wife and ! Bergen.

Legacy of American Relative Aids Poor Englishwoman
 to Realize Dreams

ONDON, Sept. BOA fairy tale come true
 That's what her neighbors down on Copenhagen street, one of the poorest and drabbest quarters of gray London, say about the good fortune of Mrs. Mary Jane Young.
 After S1 years of drudgery and pow erty, she will spend her last days in ease, living on her share of a half million dollar inheritance.
 Four years ago w. T. Hanks of Jersey City, N. J., died leaving the fortune. His nearest relative was an Englishman, Ephraim Gregory, long since dead. The money therefore be- longed to his children. But they could not be located.
 After a long search, Howard s. Harrington, young American lawyer, got clue which led to coal mine district in Wales. There he found a son, John Charles Gregory, working as collier.
 He had lost track o; his family. But he thought he had sister living somewhere in London. They finally traced Mrs. Young to her little home.
 Her Dream Comes True
 When I was younger" she says, "I used to dream of riches and happi' ness.
 'I never had much of either. AS time went on, l stopped dreaming. It interfered with my work. My sister had died My brother went away didn't see him for A years.
 "Then suddenly he came with word of the fortune. All my hopes, dead for many years, were reborn. "It seems that dreams come true l sometimes"
 Mrs. Young is busy getting the doc umentary evidence to prove her righ | to the fortune. As soon as she com pletes these records. she will mai 1 them to America, get her share of th' ! inheritance
 ! And keep on dreaming" she says If it isn't too late"

Flowers Unfold in Four Series.

A flower is usually made up of four
different kinds OF parts, arranged In
circles, or whorls, one within the other.
Outermost are the sepals, making up
the calyx; they are usually firm and
green. They protect the bud and
steady the opened flower Next comes
the petals, making up the corolla ;
they are usually delicate and colored,
often fragrant and often making nee.
tar; they thus attract insect visitors,
and they are also useful IN protecting
the even more important parts further
In.
The third whorl consists Of the red
like stamens, whose heads or anthers
make the golden yellow fertillzing dust
or pollen. The innermost parts of the
fourth tier are the carpets, which bear
microscopic egg cells, each of which,
II fertlllzed, will develop into an EN-.
bryo plant: or, to put II in another
way, the carpets bear possible seeds or
ovules, which become real seeds when
the fertillzing golden dust penetrates
into them.

STRONG IN BODY
Men Of Genius by No Means an
Unhealthy Lot.
Lives Of Many Of the Worlds Greatest
Men Show That Mental Power and
Strength Go Together.

The popular idea that geniuses are
usually physical weaklings or men Of
poor health is vigorously combated by
Prof. Rudolph NJ. Binder Of New York
university. AS matter of fact, says
Professor Bender, according to the
New York Sun, II is only because there
has been so much comment about the
comparatively few physical weaklings
who were geniuses that the tradition
has grown that exceptional mental
power and bodily weakness are related
conditions.
Declaring his belief that there is no
weakling genius who would not have
been a greater one had he been of
sound body, Professor Binder points
geniuses were not only healthy, but
often of more than ordinary physical
strength.
illustrations of this coild be ex-
tended indefinitely" said Professor
Binder, "but il is necessary to men
tion only few shining examples
down the ages. Let's begin with Soc
rates. The great philosopher served
as a hoplite. which means that he was
member of what we in modern terms
would designate as shock troops. He
was seventy years old when he was
condemned to drink the hemlock.
Coming down many centuries. Sir
Isaac Newton lived to be eighty-five
and was strong and healthy and hard
worker till within short time of his
death. Darwin was born with a rug
ged constitution, which lie ruined
by his failure to care for Il, but II
enabled him to accomplish remark
able amount of work before he died
at the age of seventy-thee.
"If proof were needed that Herbert
Spencer was born with an iron consti-
tuition it would be provided by that in
! cident of his boyhood when at the age
OF thirteen he walked 4S miles one
| day, AZ the second and 20 the third,
and with very little food during the
three days. Spencer is another man
who injured his health by the lack of
care of himself, but If he had not been
naturally strong he would not have
| lived to be eighty-three.
Even Shakespeare who died at fif

good life considering the amount of
work he did as playwright, actor and
manager. Goethe, an exceedingly busy
man, was in good health almost to
the time of his death at eighty three.
"Of the four probably most famous
Italians Dante lived to be only fifty
eight, but his life was one of arduous
labor; Leonardo da Vinci, an athlete
who outstripped far younger men in
feats of strength, was nearly sixty

most of his ninety years, and Calico
enjoyed good health till his death at
seventy-elght.

ems produced such remarkable num-

Pastime Clothes Informal;
For Women of Affairs


MANY dresses in the spring display
AVA are frankly designed for a double
purpose. II they are made Of certain
fabrics that are readily adapted to
sports clothes, they are displayed In
either the sports or tailored classes.
The spirited tailored suit serves for
sports wear and the somewhat sub
dued sports dress does duty as a
tailleur.
Fabrics and the colors have much to
do with the case. Goods that may be
clnssed as informal and colors un-
usual or "high" begin their careers In
vports clothes and presently find them
