Planning Parking
 of Front Street

At the latest meeting of the Ash down Improvement Club the project of parking the strip of ground between Front street and the K. c. s. Railroad was brought up and discussed with much interest. The committee previ- ously appointed by the club reported favorably after conference with Mayor May, who is always ready to ad- vance any movement for civic i'm provement. This plan for beautifying Front street, as we'll as the railroad right of way, which first appeared in the News and was, immediately taken up by the mayor, as we'll as the A. I. ing in that strip of ground, in which it is understood the railroad agrees to assist, providing, planting addition al shade trees, grass, plants, flower beds, etc., everything which will make a pleasant, pretty parking place, such as is seen along the streets of other up-tO-date towns and cities. This site which may be called the front door yard of Ashdown, would make a very favorable impression upon strangers, visitors and others if made attractive in the manner proposed; for everyone almost in these days has an eye for civic beauty, at least for the neat, pleasant appearance of town. It has it's effect even upon business, to say nothing of health and comfort, es- pecially during the summer season.
 This is a project for the aesthetic improvement of Ashdown which the A. I. c. has long had in mind It was unanimously voted at the last meet ing of this club that indorsement and encouragement of this plan be given, and that every assistance be rendered toward taking up this piece of inn provement immediately. Every citizen should get behind this movement and lend assistance to the town council and club in this matter of improveing Ash downs front door-yard

Streets.
BY the Associated Press.

AngOra, March 14.-One of the
most laudable aims of the Nationalist
regime in Turkey is to emancipate
the Turkish women, who enjoy none
of the freedom or privileges accorded
other women of the world. The fore
most opponents of women's rights in
Turkey are Halliday Edible Hanum. a
graduate of the American Girls Col
lege at Constaptinople, and Nine.
Renal Pasha, the PRETTY 19-year-old
bride of Mustapha.
Nine. Renal Pasha is a new ele-
ment in Turkish civic and political
life. Angora got its first glimpse of
the young reformer when she returned
from Smyrna with her husband. Her
sister Mohammedans lifted their SOM
bre wells in amazement as they saw
her step from the train dressed as a
man, with riding brooches, high boots,
spurs and a jaunty outing cap.
1t is not likely that Turkish women
will discard their black skirts and
shawls and their impenetrable wells
for the unconventional masculine at
tire of Madame Renal, but it is GER
tain that her advent will modify or
greatly curtail the restrictions and
obsolete customs prescribed for the
women of Turkey by Mahomet.
Before the inception of the Nation
alist movement Turkish women were

London. March 14-Doubts regard
ing the legality of the action of the
home office in dcporting 100 Irish
agents having been dispelled, nothing
but satisfaction is expressed today
over the prompt and efficient move
by the government in snuffing out
what was regarded as dangerous
campaign Of murder, arson and riot.
For more than six months Scotland
Yard has cO-Operated with the Free
State government in watching the
movement of rebel elements TO and
from England, allowing them to carry
quantities of arms and ammunition
through Irish ports unmOlested in
order that their final determination
might be complete and unquestioned.
There may have been one or two
cases in which Scotland Yard detec-
tives arrested the wrong persons, but
ample provision has been made for
allowing individuals TO prove their
innocence. Even now Irish repubH-
can propaganda forces are using the
deportations as a handle on which TO
hang charges that the Free State is
still under British domination and
that Free State officials are simply
British agents in Ireland. The fact
that the Free State government re-
quested the British government to de-
port the alleged conspirators is suf-
ficient evidence to this charge. In
official British quarters the opinion
is expressed that the deportations
were justified. regardless of how far
the law was twisted TO suit the case.

its fervor for the arts put to the

praise of its native best sellers TO

That is the question asked by Jes-
sic Sanford, poetess of the crinoline
days, who waits forgotten and home

Half century ago when vamps in

greatest literary man OF her day with
the style of her couplets. and she
was hailed by the critics as the COM

when the modern heroine is shaking

praise of New England's bards. She
