Sometimes the scraps of silk are manufactured by the willing Red Cross workers Into saleable articles, while the rags generally bring a ready market. The Red Cross workers at the shop give all their time. Most of them have literally looted their homes to keep the shop working. Now they beg Portland women to take care of the shortage of saleable articles at the shop. The Red Cross shop is now the princi pal source of revenue for the Portland chapter.

Woman's Rights Seen From Turkish Standpoint OOME extremely modern young women, wno mistawe symptoms ior the causes of women's independence, should make a tour of Turkey," sug gests a bulletin from the Washington headquarters of the National Geographic society. "There women smoke, have had prop erty rights for centuries and divorce is easy, but who In all respects wat.ts to be a Turk? "The 'toys of the Turkish harems' were to be pitied in many ways, !t is true, but considerable pity for them has been misdirected. For example, the Turkish women who now are to be 'emancipated' have had absolute con trol of their own property for hundreds of years, whereas the German wives cried In vain for such 'emancipation' un der the kaiser." The bulletin quotes from a communica tion by Mary Mills Patrick, which gives a vivid picture of the condition of Turk ish women before the world war. It 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 a citisen of the Roman world. This met the require ments of Mohammedan life, where no woman , ever necessarily sustained a lasting relation with any man.

Over 350,000 pounds of various herbs are used annually, and all have to be gathered at the season of the year when their natural juices and medici nal substances are at their best. It is the wonderful combination of roots and herbs, together with the skill and care used ia its preparation, which has made thia (unoM medicine so ucceseiul in the treatment of female ills. Letters from thousands of women who have been restored to heakh attest to the virtue of IP It U . k and two fair swimmers preparing gaily controlled their own property They have been free to bay, sell or alienate it without consulting any male relative. This has given them independ ence of thought and an influence in business affairs that seems wholly in consistent with their life of comparative personal slavery.

The air Is heavy with the odor oi east ern perfume, and the btwf? eunuch stands by the door to watch all who come and go. The beauty herself is thickly powdered, with an elaborate coif fure erecttr- 'jf her numerous maids. Jewels half catr her arms, and Hhe wears a beautifully embroidered negli gee. There is a languorous expression in her black eyes as she slta idly smok ing a cigarette and sipping Turkish coffee. "Would you think, to look at her, that when she draws her money from the bank that Hhe must sign her own check? These, two Bides of life have been wholly at variance with each other, but, as years have gone by, the thoughtful side has predominated among the more in tellectual Mohammedan women, until now they are ready to enter Into the af fairs of today with an understanding QTJIA. E. PtNKHAM HEDIC1NE CO-IYMM.M "It has been on the social side that Mohammedan women have suffered most under, the oppression of the last 30 yearf,, especially from the frequency of divorce. A man could legally divorce his wife at any minute, the only condi tion being the payment of the dowry which waa settled upon her by the hus band at the time of her marriage.
