TURKISH WOMEN ARE TURNED
ADRIFT WHEN HAREMS ARE
ABOLISHED. MANY SUFFER.
CONSTANTINOPLE. Nowhere
has the high cost of living been felt
more keenly than in the Turkish ha
rems. Men who were formerly able
to maintain many wives and concu
bines find their incomes insufficient
to keep up large establishments and
are forced to turn some of the wo
men adrift.
American women relief workers
who have been investigating social
and econimic conditions say the
tragedies Turkish women have un-‘
dergone as a result of the war arel
even worse than in other European
countries because of the utter help
lessness of women and their lack
of training which might make them
self-supporting. :
: Suffer in Cities.
The suffering of Moslem women
are worse in cities than in the coun
try, for the country women are fre
quently trained to do farm work and
are an asset to their husbands rath
er than a liability. Furthermore the
economic conditions have not been]
disturbed so seriously in rural dis
tricts. Farming goes on much as us
ual, Women can find employment in
olive groves, at silk culture, in fruit
orchards and ewen in grain fields.
Since the war has robbed so many
women of their husbands, fathers or!
other male relatives upon whom they |
were dependent, many city womenl
have forced themselves into employ
ment which was never before re-,
garded as proper for Moslem wo-|
men. Turkish women with their veils

Prejudice Overcome.
. There has been a great outery
against Moslem women accepting
employment which forces them into
association with men, especially
Christian men, but the economic
pressure has been so strong that re
ligious prejudice had to make way.
The need for nurses with the army
gave Moslem women their first op
portunity to get hospital training
’and become nurses. That was the
entering wedge which has opened the
way into other employments monop
olized by Greek and Armenian wo
men, Turkish women may now be
found in telephone exchanges. They
are acting as cashiers, janitors and
even street car conductors.
Stern necessity has won for Turk
ish women an independence which
was undreamed of six years ago, and
the wail of the untrained women
forced to earn their livelihood has
aroused Turkish leaders to a realiza
‘tion of the necessity for better and
more practical education for women.

Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Dismuke, of
' Graves, were notified Thursday of
[a serious accident to their son, Jas.

been for several months on business

The brief message gave only the
information that something had fal

condition was serious. Mr. and Mrs.
Dismuke left at once, reaching Okla
homa Saturday. They wired. back
immediately that the patient was
still unconscious and in a critical

received, and arxiouy friends are
hoping that there has been some im

I ENED DURING THE WAR.
’ In the past century 34,090,000 im
migrants have entered the United
States. The population of the coun
try has increased 97,000,000 in the
same time.
The effect of immigration on the
population increase was very marked
until the world war, amounting to
more than 50 per cent. in the decade
ended in 1910. The estimated in
crease for the ten years ended this
year is 14,000,000, while the total
number of immigrants during this
period was 6,100,000.
Many Came From Germany.
| Of the 34,000,000 immigrants en
‘tering the count?’ in the last 100
years, nearly one- ourth of them, or
8,205,675, came from England, Ire
land, Scotland and Wales. Germany
furnished the second largest num
ber, 5,495,539. and Ttaly the third
largest, 4,100,740, Austro-Hungary
was next behind Italy, with 4,068,
448, while Russia was fifth with 3,-
311,406, The Scandinavian coun
tries, Denmark, Norway and Sweden,
have sent 2,134,414 of their citizens.
Chinese immigrants have number
ed -288,998, beginning in 1853 with
42, and virtually ending in 1883
with 8,031. Chinese exclusion ' laws
became effective about that time. Im
migration from Japan was first ta
ken note of in 1892 and reached its
peak of 30,226 in the year 1907.
But 110,618 Came Over in 1918.
The total of immigrants entering
the country exceeded 1,000,000 in
only six years of the 100. Twenty
thousand more than that number en
tered in 1905, in 1906 the total was
1,100,000, and 1907 it reached the
record of 1,285,349. The million
mark was not reached again until
1910, the total for that year being
1,041,570.
