PENNILESS ON INCOME

NTA MAKES APPEAL
Poverty Stricken" Former
Empress Lives On Kings

CHARACTER SKETCHES

A. RUSSELL

PARIS, June 9.-"Penniless" on an
income of only $4,000 a year, Elk
empress Zita, former queen of Aus
tria Hungary, has appealed to the
council of ambassadors for aid
Non plussed the worlds greatest
council of diplomats Thursday dis
cussed the document showing that
Zita is poverty stricken" and living
on the charity Of the king of Spain.
The report shows that her income
is now 10000 Swiss francs yearly
&10,000), that nearly all her jewels
are gone, pawned or stolen from her
by swindling courtiers or dishonest
dealers. and that she can no longer
keep up her family in suitable style
and educate her children.
Her once vast estates are tied up in
litigation. She demands their re-
turn as the income would make her
wealthy again. In war days. as wife
of young King Earl. the beautiful
queen ruled the territory that has
now been divided the republics of
Czecho SClvakia, Austria, Italy,
Jugo- Slavia, Hungary and Roumania.
Italy and Hungary have offered to
contribute toward a pension for the
ex-queen. Other states have refused.
Litigation in the courts of Czecho-
Slovakia, Jugo Slavia and Austria
has tied up the property. The gov
ernments claim that they have found
difficulty in getting parliaments to
agree to bills providing for Zita.
Italy. through its traditional
friendship with Hungary. is parti-
cularly anxious to aid her, and Prince
Xavier Bourbon announced at Reggie
Thursday that the Spanish govern
ment has also used it's good services
with Italy in urging permission for
Zita to reside in the Villa Pionore
where she was born.

OFF TURKISH MAP.
Shleks Find 1t More Difficult
To Supply Rouge For
Multitude

CONSTANTINOPIE. June 9. The
high cost of living has practically
wiped the Turkish harem off tho
map.
Only two types of Turks can af-
ford harem in these days of the
high cost of rouge, lip-sticks, per-
manent waves and silk pajamas-the
sultan. whose allowance still per-
rnits of a spare wife or two, and the
lowest water-fro "hamal," or steve
dore, who ekes out his scant wages
by some five or six odd wives who
take in washing.
The mid-class Turk. hit with the
worldwide blight on white collar
labor, has trouble enough getting a
salary to keep one wife, much less
the traditional outfit of 700 wives
plus assorted mothers -in-law and in
cidental children.
Gone are the gallant days. Along
the Grande Rue De Pera, the Turk
ish women promenade in Paris
frocks and with unveiled faces,
thereby dspelling many illusions
about how beautiful the harem girls
used to be. Here and there a Turk
ish woman, unveiled but muffled
from head to foot in ankle hiding
the bare street dress because it's
the veil; but they may have their
reasons. In the dingy, narrow un-
paved streets of Galata and. SIAM
boul the iron-barred windows of
harems mark the rickety implanted
houses-but the days of the eunuch
Fatima, and the dance of the seven
wells is gone.

first discovery was that they were
pledged to support some Is wives
and accompanying mothers in law
of the refugee Mohamet VI, who left
when he fled to Malta. Mohamet
had 800 wives, or "odalisks," during
his colorful reign, but only Is were
first class wives and pensionable, the
rest being merely picked up here and
there when exceptional beauty was
discovered. The Is were 'steadies, -
but the others were kept on hand
just to show off.
Mustapha Renal Pascha took one
look at the salaries of the late
rulers ex-spouses, and hacked them
off the pay roll. A flock of expert
eunuchs was also out of job when
the harem shut down.
Another feature of the STEAMBOAT
palace of the sultan had been the
group of aged women whose Job
was to tour the country, picking up
likely wives at bargain prices. Peas
ant girls were usually chosen. and
1t was only after a long course of
study in arts of pleasing their flu
ture master, that they entered the
harem. These girls, who are still
recruited for the harems of the
extremely rich are called "adjamis'
or novices. When they graduate in
the school of captivation. they are
promoted TO De SueSdanS, mean
ing in rough translation ladies Of
come -hither eyes"
O o o
Life Is MOnontOnous.
In the few harems that remain.
the dull routine of harem life is OBJ
served Mystery attaches to the
womens quarters. Eunuchs stand
before doors, guarding sternly the
women lest they betray their masters.
Tragic stories, savage jealousies and
cruel passions are hidden behind the
silent walls. There woman is but a
plaything, a toy to be broken and
thrown away when it no longer
pleases.
But down at the bar of the Pera
palace hotel, the new Turk. wearing
London clothes, speaking English
with oxford accent he acquired in
college days. talking concessions and
trade as he sips his whisky and soda,
wears a thin gold wedding band to
prove that he has only one wife. De-
spite Mohammed's teachings. the new
Turk Is proud of monogamy. He is
anxious to follow the ways of the
eastern world.

And bloodshed trickles down every
page,
Where virtue triumphs, but not until
I've drunk much slaughter and had
my fill
OF plot and counterpart, brawl and
fight
With gun and poison and dynamite!
