CHANGING MOSLEM DAY
OF REST NOW FAVORED

ISTANBUL, Dec. "A pIebis-
cite conducted by the semi-official
daily Djumhuriet shows that Istan-
bull readers favor changing the
Moslem day of rest from Friday
to Sunday.
Turkish merchants and bankers
are urging the Angora parliament
to put through this reform. which
would break the new Turkeys Last
link with the old Moslem world.
AT present Turkey actually has
only three full working days a
week. On Sunday her Christian
subjects lay off, on Friday the
Moslems and on Saturday the
Jews. Nobody likes 10 make any
important deal on Tuesday, which
|is considered a bad luck day.
The superstition comes from the
fact that it was on Tuesday that
Constantinoplc fell 10 the MosIesn
invaders in I453. curiously. the
Mosiem Turks have fmbibed the
Tuesday complex from descendants
of the conquered Byzantines.

Sheppard Loses OuercOat
Taken From Automob bile

Leave your overeoat in your
automobile when you leave and
you will be sure to find it on your
return, that is il you have good
luck. If not farewell raglan.
This does not always prove the
case, but tits the exception that
proves the rule, which is the case
of Arthur Sheppard who had just
that kind of experience.
Wednesday night Mr.. Sheppard
left his overcoat in his car, parked
on Southland street. Returning
shortly afterwards, the chill ali
reminded him that his overcoat
was handy.
But was it? He says it was
not. During his absence some
one who was also experiencing the
same chilly atmosphere had in
vestigated the car. Concluding his
investigation he left and so did
the coat.
Mr.. Sheppard says that the coat
was a new one. and he had taken
it out only few times. But one
of those few times proved just one
too many.

ATTEMPT MADE
TO STEAL COW
LAST EVENING
ANIMAL LED FROM PROPERTY
AND TIED TO AUTOMOBILE;
PLAN WAS FRUSTRATED,
HOWEVER

An attempt to steal mich COW
was frustrated last night by moth
ing else but the innate stubborn
ness of the animal.
The COW is the property of a
Cuban living in the concrete house
formerly the property of E. NJ.
Martin, located near the old Ruth
Hargrove seminary.
Indications are that the would
be cattle rustlers led the COW from
its quarters to the road and then
tied it to the rear of an automo-
bile to lead it away.
Refusing to be led the bovine
proceeded to lie down in the road.
Undaunted by the recalcitrant at
titude of the COW the robbers tried
to drag it. That this proved I'M
successful is shown by the fact
that the COW was unhitched from
the vehicle and left.
The owner sent for the sheriff
this morning and he assigned
Deputy Dalbert Bethel to the task
of finding the frustrated thieves.
Examination Of the animal show
ed that it suffered number of
bruises about the head and sides.
One shoulder is terribly torn and
Imutilated from being dragged over
the rough road, and in several
places hide and flesh was torn
away and the bone exposed.

For the second time in

There was no indications
that the American govern

The French note declared
unless there was . radical
shift in favorable American

as jokes and Miss Wanad is too
busy with algebra, geography and
Latin to pay any attention to

Efforts toward closer union
between Poland and Rumania
motivated some Of the most per-
sistent of the marriage reports.
First Prince Nicholas, brother Of
King Carol, was named. but his
Emorganatic elopement silenced the
whispering.
Next the gossips dragged in
young Prince Michael, ex-"boy
king" and now heir apparent to the
Rumanian throne. But since he is
only about half Wanda's age and
because marriage between them
would take Wanda to Bucharest
rather than bring Michael to War

But salons of Europe feast on
