WASHINGTON, June 12. - The
sight of all the Shriners' tasseled
fezzes in Washington doesn't bring
especially pleasant memories to
those diplomats from lands where
the fez is native.
Among the nations represented
in Washington where the fez is no
novelty are Turkey Egypt, Iran,
Greece and Albania. OF these,
Egypt is the only one which can
take fez in its stride.
The Egyptian minister wears a
red-tasseled tarboosh frequently to
formal Washington functions and
his staff follows his example. Their
only reaction to the American feZ
wearing was that it was pretty hot
TO be sporting such a headgear
Turkish diplomats we're politely
interested but no more. Since Mus
tapha Kennel Pasha took over Tur-
key the fez has been banned under
Kennels dissemination program. So
Turks now have no more than an
antiquarian interest IN feZzes.
To the Greeks and the Albanians
the fez reviyes little but unpleasant
memories. Both nations felt the
hard heel of the Turk in the old
fez days and have no wish to re-
turn TO such memories.
The reaction of the Iranians -
Persians to you-is about what an

hardly in time to permit the ink to dry
on the divorce DEGREES, Mrs. Buck and
Walsh were married, with the former
Mrs. Walsh acting as q witness.
This mockery of the marriage state is
all the more flagrant because, until a
few months ago, Mrs. Buck was an or
dained missionary IN an established
church, and for years must have
mOckery is intensified by the fact that an
ordained minister of an established
church performed the ceremony which
united Mrs. Buck and Walsh. The min
lister IS also dean of an educational insti-
tuition, supposedly dedicated to the task
of implanting the ideals of civilization
and society in the younger generation.
We grant there are cases where divorce
is desirable, but such DEGREES should be
granted with due consideration for the
sanctity of marriage, which should not
be placed on the five and ten cent store
bargain counter" to be picked up and dis
carded at will.
The church, on many occasions, has
taken the actors and actresses of Holly
wood to task for their alleged flouting
of the marriage state. The church can
not justly be blamed for the bad exam
pie Mrs. Buck has set, but it is open to
censure because one of its ordained min
;sters was a party to this outrage on
marriage. Does the church help the cause
for which it fights by taking part in such
affairs? Should its ministers wonder
that the thoughtless condemn all church
es when they read of such things?
Until death do us part" is supposed
to mean just that. If the churches are
willing to aid in making it lie, what
will the end be? If the nation cannot
look to the churches to uphold home and
marriage, to whom shall it turn?
Regardless of the supposedly high
stations of the principals in this dis
graceful affair, the millions of men and
women who believe III the sanctity of the
home and the marriage state can only
hold them in contempt.
