CAUSES Of KEMAL
DIVORCE A SECRET
MosIem Law Shields Details.
Turkish Leaders Wife Con-
sented, Rumor Says.
By the Associated Press

by tne ASSOCldteC BTeSS-
LONDON, August 1.-THE curios-
ity concerning the reason for the di-
voice of Mustapha Kennel Pasha, Pres
dent of the Turkish Republic, and his
wife, LATHE Hanoum, announced yes
terday, is not satisfied by the latest re
ports from ConStantinople, but among
the rumors is one that it was mu-
tually arranged.
1t seems that, although divorce is
quite as frequent in Moslem as in
Christian countries, the recent modern
iZation of Turkey has not yet altered
the custom of treating such matters
as the private concern of those i'm
mediately affected. and no publicity at
tends d separation.
According to one statement publish
ed here, the old Moslem law, which
confers upon the husband arbitrary
power over the wife still obtains, and
to procure a divorce is extremely
simple. A man wishing to be rid OF
his wife need merely summon a wit
ness and solemnly declare that he di-
vorces her and the thing is accomplish
ed. The wife cannot appeal, but is
entitled, subject to any specific mar
riaee agreement. to retain her dowry,
jewels and other possessions.
Her Dowry Large.
1t is stated that Latte brought a
large dowry when she married Kemal
in January, 1928, but there is alleged
TO be an agreement whereby she for
feits part of it IL divorced.
LATHE, daughter of one of Smyrna s
wealthiest merchants, because of her
education in western countries. i'm.
bibed feminist ideas which she took
back to her home. She first saw Mus.
tapha Kemal when he entered
Smyrna as a conquerer in September
1922. In her, own words, they found
they had the same ambitions for their
country. She worked with him, but
said it was only as they got to know
each other better did they seem to
realize that this fellowship in the
work of ambition was a thing that
must always continue"
So they were married, and the 19
year-old bride, appearing everywhere
in the costume of the west, instead OF
the traditional veil, continued her ef
forts to advance the lot of the women
of her country. On one occasion she
said: My husband and I are in per.
feet accord on the question of woman s
sphere, as we are on all political
questions"

Mystery of Ring
Stolen Off Finger
Solved by Sleuths

After police had been informed
that a $3.50 diamond ring had
been slipped off the finger of Mrs.
Grace II. Jones, who operates d
tea room at 2625 Fourteenth street,
by two clever crooks. Sergt. Gil
foyle of the tenth precinct super
vised a search this morning. which
located the ring under box in the
bathroom of her apartment, 1401
Fairmont street.
When the first report came
through police were mystified
How ring could be slipped off the
finger of the proprietress of the
tea room without her knowledge
until an hour later had all the
sleuths cultivating permanent con-
centration wrinkles on erstwhile
placid brows.
Sergt. Gilfoyle belongs to the
school of police who refuse to ad-
nit that an impossible thing can
happen when something else could
have happened. So they went back
and searched for the ring again.

LISBON, August IA CP.--A seXtant
which enables an air pilot to take OBJ

in the air, which, it is believed. will
materially alter the methods of aerial
navigation, is said to have given great
satisfaction in series of tests aboard

DISTRICT OFFICES
ARE NOW ADJACENT
Maj. 0'connor Given Quar-.
tiers Near Those of Lieut..
Col. Sheriff..

Further steps toward bringing to-
gether under the same roof those gov
ernmental agencies whose work Is
closely allied were taken yesterday
when authority was given to move
into the Navy Building the office OF
charge of the Washington river and
harbor district.
Lieut.. Col. Clarence o. Sheriff.. di-
rector of public buildings and public
perks. announced yesterday that the
engineer Office. in charge Of Maj.
James O'Connor, United States Army
Engineer Corps, would move into Of
fires on the first floor of the Navy
Building Immediately adjoining the
public buildings and public parks
office. The change was made possible,
according to Col. Sheriff., through the
cooperation of the United States Ship
ping Board and the Navy Department,
which agreed to move offices to other
parts of the building.
The change makes possible of saw
ing to the Government Of $4,000,
which was allowed by Congress for the
purpose of adding another story on
the Research Building at Nineteenth
and B streets for the purpose of pro-
viding accommodations for Maj.
O'Connor office. However, with the
provision of space in the Navy Build
ing, 1t will not be necessary to use
this fund, and the Research Building
will remain as 1t Is.
The work OF the Offices of Col. Sher-
rill and Maj. O'Connor are closely al
lied in the improvement of the District
of Columbia. Col. Sheriff. has the
buildings and parks under his direc-
ton. while Maj. O'Connor has the
river work in the Potomac and Ana
COSTA ..Vers and the Washington
Channel. In fact, both officers are in
many instances members of the same
commissions. charged with improve
ment work
