Turks To Have Statue Made Of Mus
 tapIla Kemal Pasha
 Moukbil Renal Bey is in New York with a commission from the Turkish government which violates Moslem precept of 13 centuries.
 He has ordered from Gutzon Borg lum, the Afherican sculptor, who de- signed the Confederate memorial being carved on the face of Stone Noun tain near Atlanta, large monument of Mustapha Renal Pasha.
 Throughout history, the Turk has been not a builder of statues, but a destroyer of them. With him it was re- ligious principle. Suddenly that has been superseded by the phenomenal prestige of the picturesque leader of the new Turkish republic. He is to be commemorated by bronze likeness, made in America"
 For month Kemal Bey, who is not related to Kemal Pasha, has been enter taiped at the home of MT. Borglum, near Stamford, Conn.,, while the sculp- tor has gone ahead with a sketch of an equestrian figure more than 90 feet fall when mounted on it's base. The work, which will be delivered to An gOra in about two years, is expected to cost, Renal Bey said, nearly $200,000.
 MOukbil Kemal is himself distin- guished architect, who is taking an im- portant part in the construction of the buildings of the new Turkey. Before the war he studied in Munich and Paris, and built number of structures in Constantinople.
 Kemal plans to remain in this coun- try several months, studying American architecture.
 ''The Turks have many things to learn from America" he declares. American cottages, with porch, living room, dining room, pantry, bed rooms and bath, would do very we'll for Turk ish families. We could not use New York skyscrapers, but we can profit from the system by which they are laid out"

new conception of enjoyable motoring. This is still another triumph for. a car already famous for its engine. The Willys- Knight sleeve-valve engine actually in- prooes wuh use. Never needs valve grinding. Never needs carbon-cleaning. Owners report 5o,O00 miles and more without an engine adjustment.
 Everybody is, talking about Willys. Knights vibrationless performance-and everybody who rides talks of the thrill of it. If only for the sake of a new ex- perience, drive Willys-Knight over the road today at all speeds.

The afternoon Of Jerome Under

acquaint him with discoveries, but
the sheriff was somewhere on the
road and could not be reached by

that the whole system of suppressing

FEATHER MITE IS
POULTRY MENACE
Only Recently Discovered by
Purdue Professor,

BIZ NEA Serrice
LAFAYETTE, Ind, Aug. 25.-Dis-
covery of a new poultry parasite,
called the feather mite, is announced
by Prof. c. r. Cleveland, of the
Department of Entomology at the
Purdue experiment station here.
According to Prof Cleveland, this
mite has already been reported at
farms in New York, New Jersey,
Maryland. Ohio, Illinois and Indiana.
It spreads rapidly and lives and
breeds on the birds. The common
roost mite remains on the fowls only
at night.
Because Of their continual drain on
the poultry, day and night, these
pests are much more dangerous than
other mites. frequently killing the
birds outright. They may be found
on all parts Of the body, but accu-
mulate most at the base of the tail
and below the vent. Their life cycle,
from egg to adult is only about eight
to twelve days, so infestation devel-
ops rapidly.
During warm weather a careful
dipping treatment is a good cure, the
dip consisting of one ounce OF soap
and two ounces of finely divided
flowers of sulphur to a gallon of
tepid water. The soap should be dis
solved first and the sulphur then
stirred in.
In cold weather the dip cannot be
used effectively. Instead. liberal dust
ing with finely powdered sulphur is
recommended.

had something to say. But the
Wreck was evidently minded to keep

she had sent Timothy to find him,
with q message that she wanted to-
talk to him. He came into the
kitchen with a sullen look on his
face and without word, began put
ting on his apron. grimly resigned
to the performance of at least one
more hateful task.
Never mind the apron yet" shs
said There's some thing more tm-

glance to make sure there were no

IDENTIFYING WAR
DEAD'S JEWELRY
IS GIGANTIC JOB
Things Taken From
Bodies Sent Home for
Families.
By ROBERT TALLEY
Times Washington Bureau,
1922 NetC York Ave.


WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.-Of all
the queer jobs in Washington. proba-
oily the queerest is held by a gray
haired man who labors alone in a
little room. crammed high with lock
ers and file cases, on the seventh
door of the Governments general &C
counting office.
Passersby who glance in the door
often see him peering intently
through a magnifying glass at
small scrap Of faded paper. Or may
be he's hunting for the numbers in
a rusty watch, or checking over a
strange assortment Of furnished jew
elry. bits OF paper money, blood
stained coins and other odds and
ends.
He IS u. S. Robbins, to whom the
Army sends the personal effects OF
deceased soldiers to be turned over
TO their heirs.
Locating Heirs Difficult
Hundreds of such packets have
come back from France, their con-
tents having been taken from the
pockets or bodies AZ soldiers dug up
On the battlefelds for transfer to
cemeteries.
Making positive Identification of
.he property. keeping It out Of the
hands Of unauthorized claimants
and finding the rightful heirs offers
opportunity for some clever detective
work Locating the heirs now-this
'ong after the wars often a long
md difficult job.
Many Things Found
What are some Of the things
found on the bodies?" Robbmins re-
peated. why, most everything you
can magine-jewelry, watches,
money. letters. photographs. insur-
ance papers, razors. bibles, cigarette
cases. Liberty bonds. wedding rings,
playing cards, rosaries, and even
false teeth.
Money, jewelry and such things
have a real value, and the sent-
mental value of things like photo
graphs. bibles, wedding rings. lock-
cts containing a wisp Of hair, etc,
Fan hardly be estimated. They often
mean q lot to a wife or a mother"
Last VIII Discovered
Let's look into a few of the pack
cts from dead men that come across
Robbins desk.
A-"L.ast VIII and Testament" $50
francs. a receipt for S61.25. ring
inscribed Virtue Unites, Death Can
not Separate. 1925" and sundry
papers.
A badly-corroded wrist watch
with moldy leather strap. a half
dozen letters from home postmarked
IN the summer Of 1918 and faded
almost into ELIGIBILITY; a small
printed card name written I'M read
ing Announcing the Birth OF
Baby Girl. Leona May. July II.
1918. Weight, Pouds;" some
French and American money.
A gold locket containing a lock
Of hair, evidently from the head
Of a child; a pocket bible; a ring in
scribed May God Protect You;" a
broken and clogged fountain pen.
And so it goes, each little packet
with it's own little story; each lit
tie story with its own little heart
throb.
