Greatness Hinted
EUen as Student

While still a student, his per-
sonal magnetism and tremendous
energy marked him out clearly for
great things. When shortly before
the war the late Field Marshal
Sir Henry Wilson visited Turkey
and met the leading young
Turks" he said that none of the
three leaders had made much i'm
preston on him, but young Of
ficer, Mustapha Kemal, had a
great future.
Moreover, Sultan Abdul Hamid
noticed him when he graduated
in 1901 as a sublieutenant from the
military college at Istanbul Hamid
summoned Kemal to Pildiz and
asked him what he meant by his
notorious notions of progress
and reform" When the answer
was not sufficiently submissive,
the young officer was exiled to
Damascus.
Soon, however, he was recalled
by the young Turks, and began
revolutionary activities in Salo-
nika.
Kemal's military career was an
astonishing one. Graduating in
1901 as Sublieutenant from the
military college at Istanbul, he was
subsequently admitted to the mill
tary academy general staff and
was gaZetted staff captain.

With the Turkish women Kemal
used persuasion rather than force,
and employed all his eloquence
and personality in inducing them
to discard their wells and shorten
their voluminous skirts.
Western clothes and customs,
dances and dinners, poker, bridge
and Wine-these were his first ex-
ternal innovations.
At the same time Kemal tried
to foster the spirit of patriotism
and national pride. He changed
the name of Constantinople back
to the traditional Turkish name,
Istanbul.
His next move was to free Tur-
key from the religious Shackles
of Islam. Abdul Mejid, cousin
and heir-apparant of the exiled
Sultan, was deposed from the cal
iphate, which was abolished alto

The change also involved a new
civil code, based on that of Swift
zerland, which put women on an
equality with men in matters OF
divorce and inheritance. (Kemal

divorced his own wife, LATHE
Hanim, by the traditional pro.

A new penal code based on that
of Italy. and a commercial code
on the German lines, quickly fol
lowed, and the whole judicial sys-
tenn was brought up to date.
Another of KemaPs boldest at
tackS was that which he launched
against the nations illiteracy, esti-
mated at as high as 80 per cent.

to the intricate Arabic alphabet,

opened ABC schools throughout

All this was not accomplished
without opposition. Kemal had
his enemies as well as his friends
and his life was more than once
threatened.

The climax came in August

Kemal promptly seized on the
widespread Indignation caused by
this treaty to proclaim Angora

through the Nationalist Assembly

delegates was void.
Then KemaPs army wiped out
the embryonic Armenian republic
and drove back the French and
British forces. The return OF
King Constantine in Greece alien
ated sympathy from the Greek
cause, and Kemal signed a treaty
of friendship with Soviet Russia
which gave him financial support.

In 1923, the final step was
taken when the National Assem-

constitution which read: THE re-
ligion of the Turkish State is Is

was established and government
servants were only required to
swear on their honor, and not by
Allah, when taking the oath of
office.
This epoch-making move brought
many subsidiary reforms in its
wake. 1t meant the end of polyg-
amy, of the fanatical monastic
orders and of the bowling and
dancing dervisheS. The Koran
was translated to show that fezzes,

were issued to all the priests of

Bird Life Lovers Have
Favorites Among Flyers

Every one interested in bird life
has favorite species. Bird hunt
ers swear by the ruffed grouse or
Bob White quail. Duck hunters
choose the mallard or canvasback.
Children love the robin, wren and
bluebird. Ornithologists trail along
with the rarer species, and so on.
So 1t the writer were asked to name
his three favorite songsters, based
solely on their voice appeal, it would
be, first, the hermit thrush; Sec
ond, the wood thrush, and third, the
whippoorwill. Many will not agree
with the last named, writes Albert
Stol Jr., in the Detroit News.
The sweetest singer of them all,
with vocal range and repertoire
unmatched by any native bird, is
the hermit thrush. Many call it
the Nightingale of America. When
you are up in northern Michigan
anytime during early summer and
you hear birds song that is far
ahead Of anything you have ever
heard, a song that combines all the
joy, gladness and beauty of all 9TH
er birds songs, marked with mel
lowness Of tone and deep expression
unmatched in the bird world and as
versatile in melody as a great mu-
stefan. you will know you have been
listening to this shy summer resi-
dent of our northern forests. No
vocal effort Of any other bird can
match this.
And as to the wood thrush, sweet
singer without question, far in adj
vance of other members of his spe-
cies except the hermit, you will
search far to find his equal in splen-
did execution of vocal accomplish
ments. Unlike the hermit the wood
thrush is a friend of civilization and
its song frequently is heard around
our homes.
Now to the whippoorwill: Some
say he has no song, just a night
call Of "whippoorwill-w hippoorwill
-whippoorwill." This may be true,
yet if you have spent the night in
the trout fishing country and lis
tened to its strange, weird song,
while silence prevails under the
starlit skies, you viii understand
why its song Is both fascinating and
charming, so much so that II you
are in the mood it will lull you to
sleep.

Famed Umbrellas

Jonas Hanway was the man who
popularized the rainshield in Lon
don. He took his life in his hands
when he did it, too, asserts a writer
In the Washington Post. Not that
umbrellas were unknown. Far from
1t. They had been used as sun
shades In the East for centuries.
They were well-known in France.
In fact, English women occasion
ally carried them. But Hanway was
the first Englishman to date APP
pear on the streets with an umbrel-
la. He saw in it a way to pre-
vent sickness caused by getting wet
in rain. So, he carried his UNI
brella, though he was hooted, pelted
with mud, sticks and stones. But
Jonas Hanway lived to have the last
laugh. Before he died in 1885 most
men carried umbrellas and shortly
after his death, even the hard-boiled
men Of the army took to them.

Hand Coverings Traced
Back to the Israelites

"Gloves of Antiquity" mentions
gloves in the Bible, in the Book of
Ruth. Gloves were worn by the Is
raelites, solely by men of rank.
Mural paintings of Thebes show
gloves as a part of the kings raj
ment. Xenophon at the end of the
Eighth book of Cyropedia complains
Of the unwarranted elegance of the
Persians, that they not only wore
umbrellas over them in summer
and in winter, not satisfied with or
binary clothing, but have coverings
made of hair for their hands and
fingers.
Chaldeans defined gloves in their
dictionary. Pliny speaks of an
amanuensis who "wore gloves upon
his hands in winter, lest the severity
of the weather should let him lose
anything" Homer mentions Laer-
ties, father of Ulysses, in retirement
while gloves received his hands to
shield them from the thorns." A
celebrated Roman glutton came to
the table in gloves so that he might
be able to handle and eat the meat
while hot, and so devour more than
the rest of the company.
The Christians at the end Of the
First century considered the wear
ing of both shoes and gloves thairy
coverings for feet and hands, as
shameful to persons in perfect
health. But even cavemen wore
gloves, possibly $780, 900 years ago,
according to some learned histori-
ans. So we really have an instinct
about gloves and can justify all Of
their uses, even that of pure decora-
ton, by studying the costumes Of
the ancients.
