Steamers Operate on Save. Sir Ernest Thomas Troubridge, admiral commanding the Danube, for the inter-allied commission, in an interview on his flagship described the success which so far has marked the efforts of the commission "to promote the commercial use of the Danube" since June 1 when control of the river passed into its hands. The commmission, which is temporary is responsible to the supreme economic council at Paris. Its other members are the Marquis do Bellow, captain of the French Marine;, Count Dentici, an Italian colonel and Henry _ James, an American. The prompt and effective manner in which trans? port facilities on the Danube were restored by the commission is well known to all observers of events in : the Balkans. How it was** accomplish joJ is another story. Admiral Troubridge, who participated in the naval defense of Belgrade in 1915 and in the groat Serbian retreat is credited with his colloo ifto 1 c /Inin rv M/IV-\ + AII?O 1*/1 _ ucn ao u*'in^ IIIULH IVV,WII struction in southeastern Europe. For two years he was a representative of the British war cabinet at Saloniki and came north with the advancing: armies, reaching: Belgrade on the day the Austrians fled. "Early in November of 1918/' he said, "there was not a single steamship available for service on the Dan ube. So we had to begin at the very beginning. It was the aim of the Austrians that all shipping should escape up the river to safety beyond Vienna. But as the ship raced northward they were fired upon from the j shores by the Jugo-Slav revolutionaries. As a result. many of the j crews deserted and a number of ships were surrendered or beached. This gave us a nucleus for the reorganization of service. "Every didfficulty confronted us. i We had to secure and organize new I crews, repair machinery and landi ings. The armies had to be moved [ and an immense volume of traffic , awaited handling. Also there was a =;j great shortage of coal. We secured J some along the river, and later from j Sarajevo, but the great bulk had to 'be furnished by Great Britain. Three I [thousand tons were supplied regular' | ly each month. Service had been re! sumed to Semlin, permitting connection with the railway terminus; to Panchova and to Novi-Sad. "Aj rantVllu n? nr?vi?iV?lf? st.onniOl'S I I *-* ' ? ' ? y ! were put in operation up the Save j and down the Danube. The ravita.il. lement and fuel supply of several coun j tries and the movement of armies and refugees awaited this service. "When the steamer service was turned over to the government at Belgrade on July 1," continued the admiral, "we were handling- commercial freight at Belgrade at the rate of ?,000,000 tons a year, and there was available passenger and commercial service from Belgrade for an average daily distance of 1,000 miles." The. jurisdiction of the commission is from Sulina, at the mouth of the river, to New Ulm, in Bavaria, Steam crs ply on various sections of the river from Sulina to Paya. Navigation is impossible between Paya, 110 miles south of Budapest, to Prisbourg, a like distance to the north. This section of the stream is* controlled. by the magyar revolutionists and is heavily mined. The section of the river from Prisbourg to Passaw in Bavaria is ami the commission is now actively engaged in restoring traffic from Passaw to Ulm. The restoration of through traffic on tne great river highway therefore awaits only the restoration of normal conditions in the magyar area. In addition to his control of commercial traffic Admiral Troubridge i* in supreme command of the allied nauol 17?iv?n Atl lhr> llnmilw whirh cm biaces a total of approximately thirty craft, British, French, Serbian, Jugoslav and Rumanian. This force is almost a new creation, the crews representing a dozen nations and the | ships coming from many sources, i some of them heing prizes of war. > Pastime Program for week 6ti rf* . f .

I ________ f Soivu? extremely modern young women, who mistake symptoms for the causes of woman's independence should nia'-e a t'nr of Turkey, suggests a bulletin from the Washington headquarters cf the National Geographic Society. ! There women smoke, have had property rights for centuries, and divorce is easy, but who?in all respects?wants to be a Turk ? The "toys of the Turkish harems" were to be pitied in many ways, it is true, hut considerable pity for them has been misdirected. For examp'e, LJlO T11 I'lf i vli vi'dmnn It'll" "" 1 " ? " V..1UII W J1 \J IIU W ill t' 1 W be "emancipated" have had absolute 1 control of their own property for hundreds of years, whereas the German wives cried in vain for such "emancipation" under the kaiser. The bulletin quotes from a communication by Mary Mills Patrick, which gives a vivid picture of the con dition of Turkish women before the worldd war, as follows: It' is a well known fact that Roman law regarded the rights of the individual without consideration of sex; a man or a woman was alike citizen of the Roman world. This met the requirements of Mohammedan life, where no woman ever necessarily sus tained a lasting relation with any man. Therefore, during all the centuries of Mohammedan history, women have legally controlled their own property. They have been free to buy, sell, or alienate it without consulting any male relative. This has given them independence of thought and an influence in business affairs that I seems wholly inconsistent with their life in comparative personal slavery. Enter a harem and there you see a Circassian beauty, who has been new ly acquired by the tall, handsome pasha who has just passed you in the street. The air is heavy with the odor of Eastern perfume, and the black eunuch stands by the door to watch all who come and go. The beauty herself is thickly powdered, with an clab orate coiffure erected by her numerous maids. Jewels half cover her arms, and she. wears a beautifully em broidered negligee. There is a languirous expression in her black eye:-, as she sits idly smoking a cigarette and sipping Turkish coffee. f * Theatre commencing ? r DAY , , ROQRAM. 1 >4 * * ' . Xl % * i ?

These two sides of life have been wholly at variance with each other; but, as years haveY gone by, the thoughtful she has predominated among the more intellectual Mohammedan women, until now^ they are ready to enter into the affairs of today with an understanding and vigor which the world has never accredited to them. It has been on the social side that Mohammedan women have suffered most under the oppression of the last thirty years, especially from the frequency of divorce. A man could legally divorce his wife at any minute, the only condition being the payment of the dowry which was settled upon her by the husband at the time of her marriage. In the last attempt to keep the sex in the role assigned to them by the life of'^he harem, very strict laws have been made to prevent all possible progress among them. Laws have been proclaimed over and over again forbidding Mohammedan women to attend foreign sofcfflols. In ;his' emergency they engaged gov- I cmesses. Most of these governesses were alien, and many of them were inefficient, and bad moral guides to so large a portion of the population beginning to think and question. The governess system obtained so much influence after a short time that laws were made forbidding1 women to havo governesses. Yet they struggled on in an effort for mental illumination, reading, writing, talking things over among themselves, and sometimes getting help from their husbands and brothers. They have accomplished much, with so heavy a handicap, in literature, science, commerce and \ politlCS. SPROUTING OATS FOR FEjft)ING. Oats for sprouting are soaked over night in warm water and then spread from one-half to one inch thicn on trays having perforated bottoms, and put into an oat sprouter. Water the oats thoroughly and turn the trays around once daily to promote eyM sprouting. Artificial heat should,^ supplied in cool weather by the use of a kerosene lamp or some other means. Use a good grade of oats and allow a square inch of sproutcd-oat surface to each hen dailv. fWwlmor t.ho - - ?
