stockade. The lighting effects We're
excellent and the scenery, especially
Spy Glass Mountain, with It's multi
colored tropical foliage, and Ben
Gums cave, with the treasure dis.

was NiittN OI ~

CONSTANTINOPLE, Feb. 49,
Polygamy has been abolished in
Turkey by the National Assembly.
The Assembly also restricted the
hitherto unlimited rights Of divorce.
Abolition of Polygamy probably
is the most drastic step taken so
far in the modernization campaign
of Mustapha Kemal. Its effect, how
ever, will not be as severe as 1t
would have a decade ago, for in re-
cent years economic conditions have
made maintenance of more than one
wife prohibitive for the average
man.
