The Turkish Ambassador, M. Ahmet
Muhtar, dean Of the diplomatic corps,
and one Of the Capitals most hospitable
hosts, Is very much In sympathy with
President and Commander in Chief
Mustapha Kema- -Pasha Ghazi Of Tur-
key, In his modernistic views and pro-
greSSiveness. The Turkish President,
born In 1880, does not lose an oppor-
tunity to urge Turkish women to aban-
don the wearing of the veil which for
many centuries has been their custom.
An interesting story is going the rounds
OF an incident at a private ball in Dolma
Bagtche Palace, where one of the
Ghazi's guests, an elderly lady who, in
the old style, wore q veil tightly bound
over her hair. On leaving the ball she
approached the President, with other
his own hands unwound the veil. "Your
hair is beautiful" he said, touching her
white hair gently. isn't it a shame
to hide it?"
Lady Ronald Lindsay, who during
two and a half years in Istanbul-from
1924 to 1926, as the wife OF the British
Ambassador-did much to modernize
the Turkish women by he example in
interesting herself in charity and gen.
eral welfare work. She was very fond
OF visiting mosques, museums and pal
aces Of old Istanbul and hunting finds"
In the bazaars. She was also devoted
to sports, especially yachting and ten
mis-, and drove her own car over the
seven hills Of Istanbul and their per-
fvy{tv \
as an incentive to Turkish women who.
at that time, were just beginning to
venture into society and into sports.
Their belief was that If the wife OF the
British Ambassador could drive her own
car and sail her yacht, one Of their
country could do these things and still
be lady.

BY the way q very graceful tribute
to the late Viscount Grey of Fallodon,
Is nearing completion at the Museum
OF Natural History in New York Of
which Mr.. Dawson Is president, and to
which the lion and leopard will be sent
when mounted.
This memorial consists of q group of
so species of Northern European birds
against a painted background repre-
senting the New Forest glade where
Sir Edward Grey-as he then was,
strolled with President Theodore Roose-
velt in 1910.
The setting for the group was chosen
by Viscount Grey himself when last
year he escorted two representatives of
the museum, including Mr.. Francis Lee
Jacques, the staff artist, on a walk in
the New Forest. Mr.. Jacques reproduced
on canvas the scene-a grove of an
cient birches bordering an open moor.
So anxious was the artist to have the
setting authentic, that he brought back
specimens of heather, gorse, sorrell,
primrose, bluebells and other plant life
to put in the foreground of the exhibit.
With the entire world trying to re-
hablitate itself, rather an interesting
bid for trade has been made by one of
the great London manufacturers. AS
he so tactfully puts it, it is an effort
to link more closely together art and
| trade. Following this trend a rather un-
usual art exhibit was opened last month
at the Leicester Galleries, Leicester
Square, London. This collection con-
SlstS OF designs for the covers of choc-
olate boxes, by well known academic
clans and other artists whose names
have not hitherto been associated with
subjects Of this kind. These designs are
by Dame Laura knight, A. r. A.; Mr..
Arthur Watts Of Punch; Mr.. Phillip
Connard, r. A., and others. Mr.. Con-
nard showed the most artistic cover de-
sign, Whitehall" and The Old Plan
tation," by Mr.. Dulac, fascinated the
visitors to the gallery.
Another unique exhibit is taking place
on this side of the water in New York.
This exhibition which smacks Of both
historic art and commerce Is a showing
OF corsets- -veritable instruments Of tor
ture as they were in the sixteenth and
seventeenth centuries. The corsets ex-
hlblted are made of iron, steel, wood
and leather. One worn by Queen Eliza
beth OF England, is of iron and wood
overla1d with linen and bcocade. The
waist measure is % inches, being l inch
larger than that worn by Catherine de

THROUGHOUT The United States today there
u are hundreds of thousands of workers out on
strike for better living and working conditions
aAd for recognition of their unions
Although the MIRA was intended by the
Roosevelt government to put an end to strikes,
it has worsened the conditions that cause work.
ers to strike Many strikes now going on are, in
TACT, directly ag inst the provisions of the codes,
as for instance the strike of the 100000 coal
miners in Pennsylvania
The impoverished farmers are brothers md
allies of the city workers. If strikes success
full workers will be able to buy more food for
their children. This means that farmers will
be able to sell more milk, fruit, vegetables, eggs,
meat, wheat, and cotton
The present strike wave is rising to greater
heights every day. It has the greatest signifi-
once for the struggles Of impoverished farmers.
For this reason, the entire column is this week
devoted to news of strike struggles taking
place.

81 FOR HAIRCUT
BECAUSE OF The
FREIGHT RATES

Fairbanks, Alaska
Der Editor:
One of the main drawbacks In
Alaska is the high cost of living.
Prices here in the interior at
Fairbanks are about double out
side prices. Just to mention
few items:
Local dairy milk is % cents a
quart, bread is 20 cents a loaf.
1t is the same with everything
else. A haircut is $1.00. They
say that the reason is on account
of the high freight rates over the
government uailroad. Figure that
out on a haircut if you please.
The average cost of a meal in
any restaurant is $3.50. No SER
vice less than two bits.
The government employees haO
the same cut in salary as those
in the United States. The gov
eminent does not consider the
unusual conditions here in Alas
ka. With the enforced nine-day
layoff without pay it is difficult
to make ends meet, no fooling.
The winter is long here. From
beginning of October to about
Nav Is. we have to keep the heat
er going. Tint takes lots OF
fuel. We had go below zero once
last year.
The work season is altogether
very short, from about three u
five months of work each year
With the low wages, the pool
working stiff hasn't very much Il
show for his summers toll.
In summing up Alaska from tn,
workingman's viewpoint, the worl
season is too short, the wages ar
too low, and the cost of living j
too high. Consequently Abaskal
workers are almost always in deb
and can't get out. Is there an,
wonder that we hive missed to

somewhere around 100000, and
that they will soon build another
one which will cost about 100000
The Blue Buzzard has got lots
of work here as the logging in
dustry is nearly at a standstill.
The farmers are destitute just
like everywhere else. The relief
set ups ar worse here than any
where else. At Mount Vernon a
lady told me that she could not
get breakfast food for her under

did they give her any flour OF

FARMER ROBBED
BY INSURANCE co.
Force Small Settlement
After Big Payments
Had Been Made
(BY ANTON NELsoN)

Wilton, N. Dak.-Here is how
the insurance company, to which
my father has been paying insur-
ance for the last IL years has
treated us when it came for them
to pay us back part of our money.
This last July we had a wind
storm and it tore off quite a bit
of the roof from our house. My
father turned in his claim to the
agent, and about two weeks later
there came a hard nut "to make
settlement" so he said.
The first thing he said is that
he had been in the business for a
long time and that no one can fool
him. So he looked all over the
house. out and inside, and said he
would settle for $50. My father
could not settle for that small
amount, and told the agent that II
would take more than that to re-
pair the house, and he also told
him that he paid the company $5Ot
! in insurance for the last II years
and he wanted fair settlement
So the ,'gent got mad and jumped
, into his car and left. A week
lister my father was called into
| the local office and they made
settlement of $41.SO.
| IF the house was to be fixed
right, it would take at least 500
so YOU can see how Unfairly thi
| st. Paul F. S. NJ. Insurance com
pany makes its money.
