rest of this voyage. He was
too anxious to see that I
wouldn't be cheated by one of
his fellow-countrymen. And
when a man is overanxious in
that direction it's a thousand
to-one he's a bigger crook than
his fellow-countryman ever
thought of being.
Smyrna, lying just about
midway between the Darda-
nelles and the island of Rhodes,
was at one time the greatest
city in Asia Minor. 1t was
always supposed to be one of
the wealthiest of the seaports-
and it is supposed to be a rich
town even today. But if the
sleepy and almost desolate
Smyrna that 1 saw today is a
rich city, then please let me
rest my weary bones among
the poor.
BY stroke of good fortune,
I found taxi driver who had
a smattering of English. True,
whenever l>e was in doubt
about any question I asked, his
reply was always mot much
good" But that, at least, was
something. promised him
three Turkish pounds-about
$1.50 in our money-for a two
hour drive around the city,
plus a big tip if his service was
satisfactory.
The Smyrna that I saw is
practically one-half of a ruined
city. 1t was only 10 years ago
that the Greeks occupied the
place, and they were compelled
to evacuate the spot in their
unsuccessful war with the
Turks that ended in 1923.
Plenty of those poor Greeks
were drowned, by being forced
into the same peaceful sea in
which our boat rested today.
Plenty of them were burned.
And plenty of them were
strung up. But they succeeded
in burning half the city before
the evacuation was complete.
And that, mind you, came
several years after the war
that was to end all wars had
been safely won.
Everlasting Struggle
My driver took me through
the bazaar of Smyrna, which is
not much different from sew
eral others I have seen. Narrow
streets that were built when
horses we're a luxury. Shop
keepers who shout their wares.
Any number of little, open
shops in dimly-lit passageways.
And all of them struggling to
exc out the bare necessities of
life.
ANY business here?" I asked
the driver.
mot much good" he returned.
I v..s getting sick of the
phrase. No matter what I
asked the mug, his reply was
always the same. Not much
good. Not much good. Not
much good. I began honestly
to believe that that was all the
English the man knew. AL
though he had spoken far more
when he had set a price.
We drove around the ruins
of the burned city. And a
pitiful sight it is, too. The
place extends for what seems
to be miles, and nothing has
been done since the actual
burning occurred. There lie the
ruins of a city that flourished
only a few years ago, and that's
all there is to it.
why don't they do some
thing about this?" I asked the
driver.
'Not much good" he replied.
Take me back to the dock"
commanded.
After a sufficient number of
bumps had been struck, we ar
rived at our destination. I
STEP out and handed the
chauffeur the agreed price, plus
a nominal tip. He regarded the
sum.
whats matter?" he inquired.
"You say me you give big tip
if service good"
"Not much good" was all I
said. And went back to the
boat.

Yell for Business

Yell for Business
No such luck. Racing to my
portfolio to see whether my
cabin was still a part of the
boat, discovered that the
great wailing arose from a vast
number Of large rowboats that
had come out to take the pas
sengers to shore. There were
at least ten rowboats to each
passenger, and the boatmen
had evidently reached the con-
clusion that the men who yelled
the loudest would do the most
business.
Sleep was now out of the
question and, to make it doubly
certain, our boat began to blow
loud and mysterious blasts upon
various horns and whistles. So
far as 1 could see, we were
very safely anchored, the boat
had stopped, and there wasn't
q moving vessel anywhere in
the vicinity. But still those
Shrill blasts followed one an
other with monotonous regu-
1arity.
Maybe it was just the cap
tain's little way of congratulate
ing himself on having arrived
safely.
Because Smyrna is now a
portion of Turkey, I hadn't
intended to go ashore. My ex-
periences in IStanbul had been
more than sufficient to satisfy
me that I was none too vel.
come on Turkish territory. So,
I planned to view Smyrna from
the deck of the Izmir, write a
column at the same time-and
wonder what I had missed by
not going ashore in the first
place.
My intentions, therefore, were
honorable-but like most honor
able intentions. they failed to
pan out. Shortly after midday.
I sat me on the deck with my
typewriter before me. 1 peered
out at Smyrna and saw before
me a sleepy city that nestled
in the hills. I looked down at
my typewriter and saw before
me an empty sheet Of paper
nesting along the roll.
Away to Smyrna
That settled the argument.
Anything seemed better than
tackling a column at that mo-
ment; even Smyrna. marched
downstairs to the chief steward
and gave him to understand
that I wanted to go ashore.
How did one go about it, I
wanted to know?
The chief was graciousness,
itself. He spoke a little French
and I, to a lesser degree, could
boast of the same accomplish
ment. So it took us no more
than Is minutes to figure out
exactly what we both had in
mind.
I was guided to the rear of
the steamer, and 20 boatmen
Immediately went into Mysteries
the moment I appeared. Men
waved their arms frantically
and howled any number of
things at me. Boats became
locked together and I was GER
tain that one or two of them
were going to turn over. Oars
began to crack-and it looked
for a moment as though I had
started a Turkish free-for-all.
But the chief steward wig
gled his finger at one man, and
the excitement was over as
quickly as it had begun. Oars
were retrieved, the other boat
men went back to sleep in the
bottom of their boats-and the
lucky gentleman raced up the
shaky gangplank to escort me
to his boat.
First, however, a price was
agreed upon between the chief
steward and the boatman. I
was to be rowed to the custom
houSe-about IL minutes away
and the boatman was to wait
for me and bring me back to
this boat. The agreed price
was about 5 cents in our
money, and this was the sum
over which 20 boatmen had
almost engaged in mortal COM
bat!

Film With
Lew Ayres Is
Planned
By HARRISON CARROLL
Copyright, 1888. King Features
Syndicate)

Syndicate)
HOLLYWOOD, Cal, Feb. %.
Universal is planning to feature
Lew Ayres in a musical, not so
radical a step when you recall
that Lew used to be a saXophone
tooter back in the days before
countless projection machines be-
gan to throw the image of his
handsome features upon the
screen.
Not that they are planning to
make Lew play a SaXophone in
the picture. He'll play the lead
ing role, always providing that
plans don't go awry, of Lilies of
Broadway" a tuneful and, it is to
be hoped, dramatic pot-pourri of
life as it is led after the theaterS
close their doors for the night.
Originally, this picture was
slated as a John Murray Ander-
son production. but the musicals
went into their famous decline
and carried Lilies of Broadway"
along with them. Only the other
day, Carl Laemmle, jr., retrieved
the scenario from the shelf and
set Lynn Cowan and Harry
Sanker to work on composing a
new set of tunes.
When these are completed and
when the script is polished off
with some new Wisecracks, the
business of casting will proceed.
In the interim, Lew Ayres once
more is leading the life of a
bachelor, but mildly. So far as I
know, he hasn't made a public
appearance with any other woman
since he and Lola Lane separated.
There's chance, but no more
than that I think, of the young
actor going to England to make a
picture. British National is very
anxious to get him, but Universal
doesn't seem impressed.

into production the latter part of

Sheehan is negotiating with U.F.

HOURS DOUBLED
/. ON WDODP|LE

SO Men who are receiving food and
lodging from the Salvation Army
this week are working twice as
,.1ong for their accommo odations as
they were required to work last
week.
Some of them do not relish the
change. Officials of the army,
however, contend that it is to the
- advantage of the army, the city
Of Washington and the men them
s~~selves.
Until this week the men were
required to work two hours at the
= municipal wood yard to receive
1.-TWO meals and bed at the Saliva
ton Army home. Now they must
work four hours.
Major James Asher, in charge Of
Salvation Army activities, said
that with only two hours work
the men had too much time to
! loaf. He said it was for their own
interest to put in more time. He
added:
"We have been handling re-
lief work Of this sort for so ,
! years and we know how to deal
/ with these men. Every man
/ gets q physical examination be-
! fore he is asked to go to work.
II he is not capable Of working
