SYRIAN GIRLS
NOW FLAPPERS
By GEORGE RENTZ
United Press Staff Correspondent

ALEPPO, Syria, Jan. II. - Syrian
handmaidenS have cut up their
wells TO make silk panties.
A wave of emancipation has
spread down from Istanbul over
the Syrian desert and mountains
toward Mecca. The efforts of Mus
tafa Kemal to modernize Turkey
and turn it from Oriental to Occi-
dental customs have had a great
influence upon native manners and
customs throughout the whole OF
this sphere of former Turkish in
fluence.
The nimble fingers of Syrian tele-
phone operators are bright red from
lvarnished fingernails. The lips
with which they ask Number,
please" are now Redeemed by the
magic wand of lipstick. In the few
offices of Aleppo bobbed heads nod
over fashion sheets as Syrian
beauties chew gum.
The whole East is rousing from its
sleepy tradition and by strange
coincidence wells are disappearing
simultaneously with the sweeping
craze for silken undertakings. Modest
faces that once were hidden by
shimmering silk now smile boldly
at male customers in the business
establishments of the larger cities.
Freedom Spreading
Everywhere is the growing spirit
of feminine freedom in evidence.
Syrian women are reading books
that they wouldn't have dared to
glance at a few years ago. French
novels and translations of some OF
Americas best sellers are being de-
voured by the younger girls.
Even feminine conversation is
changing. Instead of chatter about
sewing and babies, the subjects now
range from sophisticated fashions
of the western world to political
problems, to say nothing OF movie
actors.
Cinemas are popular in all the
larger cities and are patroniZed by
Syrian women as we'll as men. Most
of the films are French. With their
scenes of Paris night-life, cabarets
and dance halls, they also give an
impetus to the wave of emancipa-
tion that is sweeping Syria today.

Vocational Talk
At Rotary Club

Vocational training formed the
subject OF an interesting talk at the
Rotary club meeting today by John
M. Kepley, official court reporter,
who discussed "arious phases OF
Vocations and their place in the
Rotary organization, which is
founded on the basis of vocations
and one of the objects OF which is
TO promote greater interest in one IS
own vocation and in those of his
neighbors.
He discussed briefly the work OF
court reporters and commented or
proposed change in fees allowed
them under the state laws, which
he declared would not be advan.
tageous to those who have spent
years in training and are highly
skilled in their particular line OF
work.
The charge to two new Rotarians
j. B. McNeece and Capt. w. N
Cunningham, was given by R. P
Moore.
Mrs. Ray c. Roberts, former E
Centro resident, now living in Sar
Diego, was heard in group of vo-
cal selections, accompanied by Mrs
Russell Bennitt, their presenta.
ton being thoroughly enjoyed by

FRENCH ADOPT
DIESEL TYPE
LOCOMOTIVES

United Press Staff Correspondent

I United Press Staff Correspondent
PARIS, Jan. II. UP)-After a
years experimentation with a To-
comotive operated by a Diesel en-
gine driving an electric generator,
the Paris Lyons Mediterranean
railroad, which operates trains over
the longest runs in France, has de-
cided to replace steam locomotives
by Diesel-electric units on its prin-
cipal lines instead of continuing
the more expensive project of elec-
trifying the system.
Chief advantage of the new en-
gine is that it can carry fuel for
the entire PariS-MarseilleS haul.
which will make nine-hour service
feasible between the capital and
Frances chief Mediterranean port.
Although the carck Cote d'AZur eX-
press, an extra fare train carrying
nothing but Pullmans, makes it in
nine hours and quarter. ordinary
expresses take about Is hours and
a half, and rapides something like
IL hours. With the new locomotive,
the connection between Paris and
Nice would be made readily in 10
hours.
Work On Models
The steam locomotives now in SER
vice can carry fuel for only about
two hours, so that there have to be
five stops to change locomotives on
the PariS-MarseilleS service as it is
now organized.
The Diesel-electric locomotive as
developed by the P. L. NJ. is so feet
long, weighs 100 tons and can pull
a useful load of IS tons at a speed
of more than 10 miles an hour.
Engineers are now working on a
more powerful model which will de-
velop 1000 horsepower, and will be
used to effect the Paris-Nice 10
hour trip. 1t will pull a tender con-
tanning fuel, baggage car, and
three Pullman-type coaches, all
according to the most |
principles.
The P. L. M. is interested in the !
new type of train for another rea-
son-it operates lines also in North |
Africa where water is scarce. The |
company proposes, therefore, to put |
the new units into general service on
its Algerian lines, where the origin

SERA Turns DoUn
Indian Band Plea

Notice was received at SERA
headquarters here today that pro-
ject favoring the Yuma Indian mill
tary band, Bard, was not approved
by state headquarters in San Fran
cisco.
The reason given for this action
was that tn project contained a
request for the repair and purchase
of musical instruments in the sum
of Sl663. The SERA had no money
for this purpose, it was said.
II was suggested by state head
quarters that local contributions
might be obtained TO provide the
funds necessary to secure the need
ed instruments for this band. 1t was
said this morning that this Indian
band has received an invitation TO
appear during the San Diego expo
sition this year if sufficient funds
can be obtained for instruments.

IN THE A U OF POLITICS

We are so used to politics and politi-
clans that we generally fail to realize the
outrageous things which are done in their
name.
Here's a sample: Martin L.. Davey re-
Gently became governor Of Ohio. At the
head of the states minimum wage divi-
sion was a named Louise Stitt.
She had made an enviable record in adj
ministering the law which protects Ohio's
women and children from economic in
justice. But one of the Davey administra-
tons official acts was to remove her from
office because she wasn't a vote getter."
Now this sort of thing is as common as
grass; and because II il so common we
don't recognize it for what it is-an out
rage, pure and simple. To fire a capable
public servant because he or she didn't
get out the vote for this or that office-seek-
err is to strike a blow at the very existence
Of the democratic principle.
And we're so used to it that we don't
greet it with the indignation it richly
merits.

Girls should never feel that they are In any way
inferior to boys. when 1t comes to athletic activity.
Modern hygieniSts have studied particularly the
girl athlete and even their elders who have par
ticipated in such prolonged feats as lo-mile swims
airplane flights over long distances, and long dis
lance running. Women, 1t Is seen, also carry on
hard manual labor for many hours a day.
The modern girl differs little from the boy in
physique. except for those functions Of her body that
have to do with childbirth. Girls play games and take
strenuous exercise without any more trouble to their
physiology than their brothers have.
Since young girls have learned to come outdoors
and take part in games and sports in the sunshine,
a form OF secondary anemia called chloroSis. which
used to be exceedingly frequent, has disappeared.
At the time when a girl undergoes the changes
from childhood into womanhood. she must, Of course,
exercise special care. She should not be subjected at
such times to undue mental or physical strain
Unfortunately. some girls develop a sense Of in
feriority because OF their inability to participate in
sports at certain times In their lives. They should.
however. be taught to have a healthy attitude toward
this situation and to consider 1t as a normal dis
ability.
The girl should not let her attention be drawn too
much to her normal disability. II, however. she is
easily fatigued at such times, she should not under
take serious or prolonged efforts.
Professional dancers and even professional swim
mers among women do not permit themselves to
forego their work, and most women in professional
or industrial occupations carry on their activities
without interruption.
If a girl suffers unusual disability, including in
capacitation, she should realize that there may be
some physical condition that demands attention and
should be promptly cared for.
In an older day physicians used to codde such
cases. Modern advice is to live the customary life,
including exercise. rather than take sedative drugs.
Dame Louise McIlroy. one Of the most noted Brit
ish women physicians, cures cases Of pain at such
times by recommending daily outdoor walks.
This does not mean excess in physical effort. Ex-
cessive exercise and games that are too strenuous
may be harmful not only to all reproductive organs
Of the body, but also to the heart.
Open air games and exercise for women are not
only harmless. but are necessary. If they are to keep
themselves fit and well.

1T is UP TO THE GROWERS

Heads Of Valley citrus co-operatives,
leading shippers who have long had the
welfare of the citrus industry of the Val
ley at heart and who deplore the tendency
to knock down prices for the sake of small
profit per package on volume shipments
Of citrus fruit, unite in telling The
Brownsville Herald that cit is up to the
growers.
Conceding that it is impossible to peg
the price of citrus fruit as has been found
possible in tomato and cabbage shipments
where the Valley controlled the bulk of
the tonnage in the country, these men still
maintain that by concerted action on the
part Of marketing agencies the price can
be held to greatly higher levels than have
prevailed during the past season.
"The greatest competition Valley citrus
has is not from Florida, not from Califor-
mia, but from the Lower Rio Grande Val
ley, the managing head of one Valley
cooperative told The Herald this week.
"For instance" he said, "our cooperative
was selling right along at S1.50 a box fob
the Valley. What happened? A little old
shipper who does not have 81, 900 invest
ed in his business came along and cut the
price to SIPS for no apparent reason, and
blooie went the market"
Too many shippers in the Valley are
operating their citrus marketing business
on a 10c margin over their packing
charges. making nothing on their overhead
or their fixed investment, if any, is the
oninion of this man. All these gentlemen
can see is a 10c per box profit to them
selves, no matter what the fruit brings the
grower, and the more boxes they ship the
mere dimes of profit come to them.
So, claim the cooperative heads who
are really working for the interest of the
growers, for their business in the grow
ers' business. the matter comes right back
to the growers. If the growers are going
to continue to %patronize some 205 mar
keting agencies for their citrus fruit, they
may expect that among those scores of
nights to whom the dime a box profit to
themselves is worth more than the well
fare of the citrus industry, than the well
fare Of the growers.
If, on the other hand, the growers are
smart. they will see to it that the bulk Of
the citrus shipments are lodged in the
hands of reputable and sincere marketin
agencies, agencies with investments 0
good proportion, agencies who want Il
see the growers prosper and then prospe
in turn.
1t is,-we agree, distinctly up to the
growers.
