Lizards Detest Dogs.

The only sound the horned lizard
makes is a kissing sound similar to
an old setting hen. This noise is made
only when he is greatly disturbed, says
the Nature Magazine. His foes are
principally the snake and such animals
as the skunk. There is one that horny
detests more than any other. and that
is the dog. The dog likes only to play,

Women of Modern Turkey

enjoys the wonderful relics Of old
days but very soon becomes absorbed
in the living reality of Turkeys new
life. And the most striking feature of
it all is the tremendous change that
occurred in the life of the Turkish
women.
She seems to be enjoying the free
dom Of the new life even more In
tensely than the man. She Is wide
awake, alert, intelligent and active.
She works, studies and struggles with
zest and devotion. No wonder, there
fore, she is fast making for herself
place Of decisive Importance in the
economic, political and cultural life
of Turkey.
The city women are of course TAX
ing the lead. But also peasant women
are showing great activity. For all OF
them it is still the period Of so-called
honeymoon of liberation. 1t is for
this reason that the class distinctions
between the proletarian woman and
the middle class woman are not very
sharp at present. But they are de-
veloping just the same, with the work
ing class woman beginning to take the
lead in social and political activities.
What is happening in Turkey is
true in large measure of the women
in the East generally. The more back
ward the woman and the more intense
the oppression in the past, the more
theoretically the women struggle for
their liberation at present. Turnout
the entire East the women Of the OPP
pressed classes are developing great
activities. In some instances they are
even setting the pace to the general
liberation movements of their coun-
tries.
In the great historic struggles of the
oppressed nations of the East against
Western Imperialism, the working
class women and the peasant women
are destined to play decisive role.
This the masses of eastern women
seem to feel instinctively. A good
many Of them are realizing it con-
sciously. And they are preparing them
selves for the historic events OF the
future.

In this reawakening Of the masses
of Turkey, the working class and
peasant women are playing a very
important role. The Turkish woman,
the plaything of harems, the helpless

free and independent indi-

with sweetheart, brother, husband and
father for the rebuilding and strenth-

We've been the slaves Of capital
For many weary years
We've earned our bread in bitterness
And moistened It with tears;
But we have caught transient glimpse
OF happier days In store;

The tyrant's reign is DER.
And If our Unions die
