IIe even goos:so far as to say that in early Islamic his- tory women were eaveiled.. Most Moslem clergy argue that the present state of education throughout Islam does not guarantee sufficient re- spect for women with the faceuncov- ered.

Also, lawn tennis in bathing costumes was pro- hibited upon the territory of the League. Too Hot for Many Clothes This season's tourists In Europe, from whatever country they hailed, were all remarkable for the few clothes they wore. Fashion in gen- eral fostered it; the unprecedented heat justified it. Emergency hospitals and nursing homes would have had much more to do had not char-ablanc patrons gone in for undress. But the question is, "Will the inter- ference of Church and State succeed? Many precedents seem to prove that it will not. Take General Pangalos. Things were going splendidly with him in Greece when he took It into his head to interfere with women's skirts. Short skirts must go, said he; but It was the General who went. Women do not vote in Greece, but from Aspasta and Phryne they have been famous for indirect influence. How different' the experience of Kemal Pasha! Just fifteen years ago the women of Turkey began their agi- tation against the veil. Lifting the veil was then a penal offense. Slowly but surely the reform made itself felt until now Kemal Pasha has practi- cally abolished the veil, in some cities at least. In Constantinople and Angora women to -day dress as do the women of New York, London and Paris. A little more darkening around the eyes, per- haps, and with a thin scarf wound. judiciously about their heads, some- times with a hat, sometimes without, but altogether in the European way. Kemal Pasha might not have been so successful in other things had he not advocated emancipation from the veil. Queen Souryia of Afghanistant has done much toward the withdrawal a the veil. Her -triumphal tour in Occi- dental dress throughout Europe was a practical object -lesson. The reactionary measures against dress in Italy, Brittany, Exeter, Greece, Deauville, Geneva and else- where are contemporaneous with the contrary movment in the East. There the effort 1s all the other way. STOP AND GO LIGHTS "The wonderful lights In her eyes come and ,go at .regular 'In• tervels." "They're stop and go light; gess."

The Daily Mail's correspondent at Antibes told Shaw of Tunney's ex- pressed desire to meet him, and the latter replied; "Tell Gene I will be delighted to meet him, in fact 2 had every intention of making his ac- quaintance. I will be back in London September 15, and hope to see him then." " Shaw added that be did not intend. to allow reporters or photographers at the meeting. "We will meet as pri- vate gentlemen," he said. "I will dis- cuss boxing and Gene will discuss literature, so we ought to get along very well." Eastern Women Revolt Small feet are no longer fashionable in China. Japan broadcasts the por- trait of her "prettiest girl." India declares openly against the purdah, Turkey consents to its women taking part in an international beauty con- test. In Teheran, thouigh Persian women may not stir abroad except between the hours of 5 and 7 p m,i and though they still envelop them•l selves in the .long black robes they' have worn from time immemorial, the face 15 now only partially covered.

This hood 15, moreover, constantly lifted in the exi- gencies of shopping and spealdng to trolley conductors. Arabia is about the. only Eastern country where the revolt of the women has not made good progress.

A. circus is a round place,, at the inter- section of streets, and the small original circus at the intersection of Piccadilly and. Lower Regent Street now forms only one :corner of the great triangle` that is customarily re- ferred to as Piccadilly Circus. Nor is the present triangle more than a step toward the even larger Picca- dilly Circus of the future. It' is universally assumed that the future 'Pi'ccadilly Circus will be a rectangle formed by parrying the line of the north side of the quadrant straight across to Shaftesbury Ave- nue and cutting away most of the triangular' island site on which. the Pavilion Theatre now stands. This setting back and rebuilding of the east side will be the next and 'per- haps the final step in the evolution of Piccadilly Circus. A Rectangular Circus.

Singapore Dock Menace to Canal Ten Thousand Pounds in Dues to Suez Canal Company London.—There were twenty min utes packed with thrills and excite- ment here when the first section of the great £1,000,000 naval dock, which is on its way to Singapore, swung. across the mouth of the Suez Canal, threatening to block it, writes the London Express correspondent from Port Said. A strong breeze was blowing, and it appeared that the great towering hulk of machinery—almost as wide as the canal itself—must . inevitably' be- come wedged in the channel opening. The experts had calculated that even when get on a straight course the dock had a margin of only ten feet left on either side of the canal. Broadside On It was now, however,' drifting rap- idly broadside on towards the canal, threatening to wreck itself and pre- vent the passage' of many thousands of tons of valuable shipping. Almost at the last moment, how- ever, the great Dutch 3,000 h.p. tug at the rear end of the dock managed to assert its strength. Slowly the menacing mass of ma- chinery was swung back into the straight, .and the canal was saved. The cost of the dock's, transport from the Tyne to Singapore is £200,- 00, which includes £ 10,000 in dues to the Suez Canal Company. The :amount charged in insurance for the dock during the journey is stated to be £900,000.
