Republican Turkey
Is Nine Years Old
National Consciousness Is
Rapidly Developing.
Washington. ? New Turkey has Just
celebrated Its ninth birthday anniver
sary at Ankara (Angora), the capital
on the Asln Minor plateau which su
perseded Intrigue-Infested Constanti
nople, long the cupital of the old
regime. A bulletin from the National
Geographic society outlines some of
the forces that have been shuplng the
new republic.
"After nine years of strenuous re
forms, the Turkish republic, because
of world-wide depression, has a
breathing spell in which to take
stock," says the bulletin. "The apathy
of Its enemies and neighbors enabled
It to escape partition. Fatalism, com
bined with the paucity of desires by
the Turkish peasant, has been a con
stant drag on progress.
"Great strides have been made In
developing national consciousness
among the variety of peoples who are
combined under the government of the
Ghazl (the Conqueror). The first great
step was the freeing of the country of
Its enemies, a military operation
through which the Gha/J, Mustapha
Kemal Pasha, gained political leader
ship. A complete separat^n from the
Ottomnn dynasty and the' Caliphate,
leading to democratic forms of gov
ernment and a segregation of religion
and government, was nnother Impor
tant step.
"The country Is wide, the popula
tion scanty, the state of education and
literacy low, communications Inade
quate. These factors have added to
a native Inertia against which Tur
key's leaders have labored with strik
ing results.
Turned to Western Ways.
"The fez was abolished In order to
prepare the Turk, through western
dress, to ally himself with western
thought. The visor of the cap, which
became the populnr head covering,
could be reversed so that the forehead
could touch the floor In prayer; but
nonetheless a sharp cut was made
with the paBt. The veil was not abol
ished, but those who abandoned It
were favored.
"Another milestone was the adoption
of the Latin alphabet. The old Arabic
alphabet was closely related In thought
with the Koran. With the advent of
'New Turkish.' the Turkish republic
moved closer to all nations using the
Latin alphabet, but severed a strong
bond with religlouR forms. Not only
had Turkeys' alphabet been that of

Paris. ? While the French govern
ment Is devising economies and study
ing the possibilities of raising more
revenue through new taxation In a
desperate effort to balance Its budget,
the Paris Midi has conducted a pri
vate Investigation Into the salaries
paid to public officials.
It appears that while French cnbl
net ministers receive a salary of 180,
000 francs (J7.200) yearly, they cease
to have the benefit of nny allowance
to which they may be entitled by mem
bership In the chamber of deputleo.
They continue to receive 2,7r>0 francs
($110) a month from the chamber, but
this amount Is deducted from their
salary as ministers, so that they an

200 francs ($400) at the end of eneh
month, plus 4,10;* francs ($100) for

the words were of foreign origin. A
strong movement is under way to em
ploy Turkish words and free the lan
guage of foreign vocabulary, hut at
the same time the study of foreign lan
guages, chiefly French and English,
is being pushed.
"The Ghax.i, who entered Into the
campaign for New Turkish through
many Informal personal contacts and
direct personal encouragement, has
recently been directing a study of
Turkish history. Under his personal
direction the Turkish History Research
Commission has compiled a four-vol
ume world history in which Turkey
has a larger place than ever before.
This world history, written from the
Turkish viewpoint, is to be taught In i
the Turkish schools. Thus the Ghazl
hopes to tie the depressed present to
a glorious past and a hopeful future.
Roads and Railways Extended.
"Ankara (formerly known to the
West as 'Angora'), has become a won

been combined with careful planning
and a worthy capital Is rapidly tak

For centuries, a great trade route by
way of Trebizond (Trnbzon) and Kr

Black Rea. Commerce along that his
toric highway had declined, but
through an Improvement in the road
ted, commerce 1s again to be lured
back to its historic chnnnel between
highlands anil sea, between caravan
and caravel.
"The Turk formerly was averse to
participation in trade or commerce,
and many professions were in the
hands of foreign residents. Hut many
trades and professions are now re
strlcted to Turks, and from barber and
waiter to tailor and stock broker, the
Turk is beinp encouraged to look to
his own people for aid.
"The state has taken over many In
dustrles not only because of a lack
of individual Initiative but also from
a desire to train the people In new
pursuits.
"The United States occupies a pe
cullar place nmong Turkey's chief cus
tomers. since we spend three times as
much for Turkish tobacco, figs and
mohair as Turkey spends for Ameri
can products. New Industries are be
ing fostered In the republic and the
visitor with a taste for foreign foods
Is finding life harder or more expen
sive. Turkish foods, candles, tinned
preserves, and even sugar and choco
late are supplanting world-famous
brands.
"World wide depression, slowing the
material change, has not only forced
Turkey to foster home Industries and
bar importations from the West, but
has also given the Turk time to ap
praise the changes of the last decade."

New York. ? American "human flies"
who today tlnd it hard to make money
out of their exploits may borrow an
Idea from the French. The weather
cock which tops the Cathedral of Sen
lis. France, which maintained Its
perch despite eight ("Jermnn projectiles
which hit the spire in 1914, was recent
ly brought down from Its perch to fill
the pockets of the men who climbed
to It, writes Samuel Chamberlain In
American Architect.
Four stone masons who were re
pairing the tower remembered the tra
dition that whenever the penk of the
cathedral bad been reached by a stee
plejnck, the cock (Le Coq CJaulols)
could be brought down and passed
from door to door as a means of ex
acting tips from home owners, and
they did It. As this is the bird's first
descent In 120 years, the custom has
not been overdone.

He dashed upward and passed through
an opening on the highest platform
before the startled sexton could catch
his breath. Climbing like an ape from
crocket to crocket, he finally renched
the huge ball of copper which caps the
masonry. By a heroic and almost sui
cidal effort, the climber got over this
ball. Once on top of the ball the rest
was easy. He performed a few gym
nastics to the awestruck witnesses he

weathercock, strapped it on his back
and crawled down to face the Irate
sexton. Ry this time all the popula
tion of Senlls was a gnplng, horror

for the intrepid climber, the bailiff
who promptly clapped him In jail.

In real-life cases.
Only the other day a hoy who hiftl
been kidnaped by baboons In the
Drakensberg district of South Africa
was recovered and restored to his
parents by a band of mountaineers,
lie had been living among the mon
keys for some months.
A more remarkable case is that of
a man who is working ? or was until
recently ? on a farm In the . Cape
Province of South Africa. Some thir
ty years ago, as two troopers were
riding through wild country, they
encountered a band of baboons. They
fired at them, and the baboons lied.
One of them, however, lagged behind
and was captured. Hut though ho
traveled on all-fours like the rest, he
was not a monkey, but a well-grown
native boy.
He put up a fierce fight, but was
overpowered and taken to a mental
hospital, where he stayed for a year.
He was then sent to a farm, where
he remained, proving an excellent
nurse for his employer's children,
and doing more hard work than any
two ordinary natives. He had been
stolen as a baby and spent the whole
of his boyhood with the monkeys.
There have been a number of cases
of boys being reared by wolves. In
one Instn nee, live years ago. in India,
the hoy was ten when captured, lie
had lived among wolves for eight, or
nine years.
Six years earlier two little girls,
one eiicht and the other two, who had
been mothered by a she-wolf, were
admitted to an orphanage in Orlssa.
The younger girl died, but the elder,
though quite wild and brutish at
first, has made substantial progress
toward normality.*
In a still stranger case, a party of
Indian villagers found n tiger with
two cubs and a strange being whom
they suspected was human, during n
jungle expedition. They managed to
enptnre the creature, which, proved
to be a boy of about six. ^Ie was
very wild, and had to bo bound with
ropes to prevent him escaping or In
juring his captors.
Night after night the tigress catne
to the village and prowled about the
house where her foster-cub was shut
up, howling m^rnfUlly. In the end
she was 'killed.
Gradually the boy was won back
to humanity. lie grew up and mar
ried But he never quite lost his old
ferocity. And he never had any foar
of tigers, and no tiger ever offered
to attack him.
Another boy was brought up by a
leopard, who mothered him for three
years. After his rescue he, too, was
slowly won back. ? London Answers.
