Where Active Feminism Ia Hot Permitted,

It is this gradual taking up of the reins of public life side by side with men that will eventually, Mme. Halide Edib is convinced, lead to a similar co-partnership in

the realm of politics. It is only a matter of time, that is, before the Richard Adams Locke, author of Turkish woman has the vote.

STOPS INDIGESTIÓN WHERE IT STARTS..

It's a fine thing to get up from a hearty meal knowing that the food which you have enjoyed will be easily digested, without pain or any stomach auffering. Yet it's the easiest thing in the world to avoid indigestion or, if you are an habitual sufferer, to stop it and put the stomach into perfect health. Just a little Biurated Magnesia in water, or two or three tablets taken after eating, instantly neu- tralises the excess acids which cause and soothes, heals and strengthens the inflamed stomach lining.

Bisurated Magnesia, which sold by all chemists, is the remedy which is recommended by doctors, used in hospitals, and by thousands of one-time sufferers, who have proved again and again that it is a certain reliever of all acid-caused digestive troubles

The End Of The Haram.

Mme. Halide Edib spoke of the harem." She declared with finality. that the harem hardly exists to day. The polygamous system is prac tised only by a few wealthy mer chanta throughout the countryside. With the legal introduction of the Swiss Code in 1923, the practice of monogamy, long recognised as the more worthy marriage code, became practically universal Polygamy, in short not "done" in the best dircles, as an institution of odalis- ques, narghiles and the divan all day long the harem years ago ceas-

The Journal of Science was presumably indebted in turn to a certain Dr. Grant, the "indefatig- able superintendent" of Dr. Herschel's telescope at the Cape of Good Hope. There were details of the casting of the great lens, with an estimated magnifying power of 42,000 times, and separate leases to slide in and out in such wonderfuled to exist. juxtaposition that the glimpses of the moon seemed but a few yards away,

Wonders Revealed. Wonders were" revealed. First vegetation, demonstrating that the moon had an atmosphere similar to our own trees like the yews in English churchyards," and fine forest of firs. The scientists had rigged up a canvas screen on which the lunar views were thrown. Then life burst upon the observers; browa quadrupeds like buffaloes, only smaller, and with shades over, the eyes to protect them from the extremes of light and darkness of the lunar landscape; also an animal about the size of a goat, of a bluish lead colour, with a single horn. On the shores of the lake they caught just a fleeting glimpse of a "strange amphibious creature of a spherical form, which rolled with great velocity across the pebbly bench," to be lost in the swirling tide. Finally, the astronomers, looking upon the cliffs and crags of a new part of the moon, made the most sensational of their dis coveries:

A Famous Graduate. Mme. Halidé Edib herself sym- bolises the new Turkish "woman. She is the first Moslem woman to whom the American College for Women in Constantinople awarded the B.A. degree, and to-day she remains its most famous graduate.. During the war she held a post in the Turkish Army. In 1950, hunted by British soldiers, she escaped from Constantinople hidden under charcoal bags on an ox-cart guided by Anatolian irregulars.

To Return To London, Exiled from Angora in 1924, she came to London, to make her home among the same British who had sought her out. She loves England. After her present American tour- she is lecturing first at the In- stitute of Politics, Williamstown, Massachusetts, and later through- out the length and breadth of the United States-she is coming back to London, in January.
