TURKS VS.. BULGARS

Inside reason why the Turks
signed a non-aggression pact with
the Bulgars has been given U. S.
diplomats by the British foreign Of
fee. It is this:
Some months ago the British
themselves suggested that the Turks
and Bulgars sign a treaty of friend
ship and non-aggression. But nego-
tiations dragged. Then suddenly,
just at the wrong moment from a
psychological point of view, the pact
was completed It's announcement
to the world was construed as mean
ing Turkey would not penetrate Bull
garian soil to oppose Germany.
The British say this Interpretation
is all wet.
Tip-off to the situation is that the
British have been rushing reinforce
ments to Salonika to backstop the
Greeks and the Turks-if they CO.
operate. And cooperation in the
Balkans usually goes to the strong
est side.

SENATORS DEBATE TO EMPTY
CHAMBER
S4SS95sMzRssNsga|'EE

Big words, such as 'nomentous, /"
Historic" crucial" have been
common in describing the senate de-
bate on the lend-lease bill. Defend
ing themselves against the charge
of filibuster, the opposition main
tanned that the issues are so grave
that national interest demands
weeks of discussion.
Daily throughout long weeks the
front pages reverberated with the
senate's embattled thunderings. The
headlines and cracking statements
have given the impression of fierce
struggle. But the reality was far
different.
There was no blood shed. The
senate never presented a more
peaceful, more indolent appear
ance. If great battle was raging,
there were few signs of it on the
floor of the greatest deliberative
body in the world"
Most of the time it looked more
like the lounges of a ritzy club than
council chamber where history
was being made. At times there
were no more than a half dozen
members in the chamber.

Use shallow boxes (cigar boxes
are excellent) for flats in which
to plant seeds. Firm soil well and
make surface level. If there are
depressions in soil, water will
gather in them.
To make celery curls, cut inner

Repeat until all the sections are
removed.

Cross marriages between two
families produce some queer mix

an American takes some beating.
He married the daughter of his
own daughters husband by an
other wife, thus making him the
son-in-law of his son-in-law.
His daughter, therefore, became
his stepmother-in-law and his

His wife has just given birth to
a daughter. She is her. step-grand-

Word About Egg Cookery

For better hard-boiled eggs use a
quart sauce pan for cooking six to
eight eggs; two-quart sauce pan
for ten to twelve eggs. Place eggs
in pan, preferably on a rack, cover
with cold water to about one inch
above the top of the eggs and bring
very gradually to boiling point. Re-
duce heat to keep water at barely
simmering temperature. Remove in
five to eight minutes and chill
promptly.

Cubism in Painting

Cubism in painting was gradually
evolved by Picasso and George
prague, between 1906 and 1910,
while studying the composition of
still life groups consisting mainly of
bowls with fruit, bottles, glasses and
musical instruments. It was prague
who first introduced into his designs
nails and bits of printed paper. Pr
casso then added pieces of wood and
other tangible objects, which led to
a form of art where sculpture and
painting were combined.

DRAFTED INDIANS

There are about 700 Seminoles in
Florida, divided between north Flor
ida farms and the southern Ever
glades. In recent years many tribes
men have left their swamp homes
to set up lucrative tourist shows
along the Tamiami Trail, featuring
wrestling matches between Indians
and crocodiles.
Came the draft, and Seminoles of
the swamps and farnlands all reg
istered. But the tourist-show Indi-
ans were told by white friends that
they weren't subject to the draft,
since they never made peace with
the U. S. government, owed it no
allegiance. So they went on a draft
strike.
And selective service officials, not
anxious to disrupt Indian relations,
have refused so far to turn their
names over to the department of
justice for prosecution. Upshot is
that Everglades Seminoles are leav-
ing the swamps in droves, thinking
they, too, will be exempt if they
live on the Trail.
Word also is spreading to their
brethren in the north on stock farms
provided by the government, that if
Seminoles want to escape military
service the thing to do is to open a
tourist show.
On the hot spot is kindly John
Collier, commissioner of Indian af-
fairs. But fearing cries of discrini-
nation from other tribes, he has
served notice that slackers will be
prosecuted if they don't fall in line.
UNDEPORTABLE PRINCESS
xviii anybody take a deported
princess?" This, in effect, is the
plea of Attorney General Jackson
regarding Maria Waldenburg -Schill-
ingsfurst, Princess Stefanie Hohen-
lobe, a German who came here from
England on a Hungarian passport.
The department of justice has or
dered her deported, but has found,
to its embarrassment, that it's i'm
possible to deport somebody when
nobody will have her. Jackson has
deported her by act of law, but can't
get her out of the country.
England won't have her. So she
will have to remain in San Francisco
unless Germany decides to take her
back, in which case she might get
there by way of the Pacific and
Vladivostok.
AS result the justice department
is drafting bill for submission to
congress, whereby an undesirable
alien could be held in custody, or
restricted freedom, or parole-de-
pending on the character of the per-
son.
