'Ha- ha- ha.'

San Antonio light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1911-1993, 1925-11-22

THE new Turkish Republic, under the
leadership of Renal Pasha, has
taken the extraordinary step of
suppressing all the whirling and bowling
dervishes in its territory.
Dervishes are religious fanatics who
whirl, dance or howl for prodigious periods
as a way of giving vent to their religious
fervor. Many of them are organized into
communities which are often referred to
as monasteries. Strange to say, they are
trained from infancy for their life of
whirling, bowling fanaticism.
There are said to be 10000 whirling
and bowling dervishes in Turkey and many
thousands more in Arabia, India, Afghan
istan, Morocco and the Mohammedan
countries of Africa.
How can it be possible to prevent the
most violent religious fanatics in the world
from whirling and bowling? Is it not as
hard as preventing boiling water from
turning to steam? Kemal Pssha and his
associates have already done some very
strange things. They are agnostics in
religion, and as much opposed TO orthodox
forms of Recommendation as they are to
Christianity or Judaism.
Soon after they had outwitted the
European powers and set up govern
ment free from debt or any obligations
to foreigners, they deposed the Moham-
medan religion from its position as the
State religion and took away its revenues
That placed thousands of ordinary priests
or "mollahs" under the necessity of gain
ing living directly from their congrega-
lions and reduced them to poverty. They
have suppressed the wearing Of the 'fez,"
the old Turkish cap.
Now they have informed the whirling
and bowling dervishes that they must no
longer whirl and howl, because such mani
festations are fanatical and degrading,
both TO the performers and the public.
They are also forbidden 90 form monastic
congregations, because such communities
hinder the democratic development Of
society.
Thus 10000 dervishes, who from in
fancy have learned TO do nothing but
whirl and howl, will be turned helpless
into the world. The radical Turkish
statesmen say they must work like other
men, but is it reasonable TO expect this
of men who have been trained in an at
mosphere of mysticism and fanaticism?
II is likely that the country will long be
filled with wandering dervishes, bowling
and whirling in secret places and stirring
up rebellion.
Many Of the Dervishes practice the pro-
fession of snake charmer. By long and
secret training they acquire the power TO
handle the terrible cobra, the Egyptian
adder of the species that killed Cleopatra,
and others of the most deadly snakes with
out suffering any harm. Placing cobra
on the ground in front of him, the snake
charmer will play wild, mournful tune

PROPER COOKING OF
FISH is IMPORTANT

Doctor McCollum Of Johns Hopkins
discusses the Importance of fish in
our diet and gives some points as to
proper preparation. In introducing
some recipes, he says:
'"The ways in which you should cook
fish depend upon the kind of fish they
are. Oily or fat fish should not be
cooked in fat. Fat fish, such as salmon
and mackerel, are best when baked
Or broiled. On the other hand, white
or lean fish, such as cod, halibut and
haddock, may be fried or sauted, since
they are dryer. When you cook fish
n water, IS boiling, you Will find them
better if they are served with rich
sauces. If you bake them, they should
De basted and frequently larded.
"Steaming fish is perhaps better
than boiling, since 1t does not take
away as much of the delicate flavor or
nutriment as boiling does. After the
fish is thoroughly clean, wrap it in a
piece Of gauze or cheesecloth. place il
m the steamer and steam until tender.
When done,l remove the cloth and
place the fish on the platter. Steamed
ish is better with sauce."-McCall's
