What have women in Turkey dong in the intervening years? They have emerged triumphant from' their indignities. Now they are school feachers, judges, politi cians, diplomats. They enjoy absolutely equal rights hw every matter but military service, In the fie 1s and the factories they work side by side with their men. And as wife and mother they enjoy the supreme respect of dec ent family life, Dark, with a rather prominent nose, hair either black or blonde, slim while she is young, the Turk- ish girl of today enjoys life fully while working as hard as her bro- ther for Turkish regeneration.

She ran into love and trouble when she met DR. BOB BENCHLEY -- hero. handsome young interne. He had trouble, too, keeping up with bril. liant DR. head surgeon. Dr. Sargent's prob- lem was something else again. Yesterday: In a moment of hil. arity, Tran prepares a farcical nursing care report concerning Dr. Sargent. Everything turns black before her when he: begins to read it. How did he get it? CHAPTER X Tran was never to forget the horror of the 10 minutes that followed. ; -In one sickening flash she had realized how this thing had come to happen to her. The morning before Beula Tagg had volunteer- ed to carry her nursing care re- port to Miss Armstrong's office. And on her desk with it had lain, forgotten, that farcical report on the case of the mythical "X." Now Dr. Sargent's clear, fas- tidious voice was reading it to the end, smoothly, gravely, inexor- ably, while Tran sat rigid, biting her checks, her eyes growing big: ger and brighter and wilder. in ler pallid face. When he had fin- ished, his cool blue eyes swept the faces of the class, resting for STEPHEN SARGENT--- an impartial fraction of a second ~ on Tran's before passing on. "As 1 believe I told you." he . said, "the case is not «ne that has come under my professional care --mnor, so far as [ know" --he coughed--*"under that of any our staff. Therefore [I may pe hdps be permitted more _frank- ness in my comments than I might otherwise use in discussing the medical handling of a case.' The class, fully aware that there 'was more to this than met the naked eye, exchanged furtive giances. Tran measured the dis. tance to the door, but.sat still from sheer motor paralysis. "I read it to you," Dr. Sargent was going blandly on, "because of several unusual aspects of the report. The first"--his lips twitch- ed slightly--*is the scrupulous re- ference to the text with which the nurse interlards her remarks and second is the amzing fact that after 10 years of observation, tke case was s}ill lacking a diagnosis, when any police court magistrate should have known at a glance that the. patient was a mental case--a schizothy me with a mark: ed Napoleonic complex, hovering dangerously near dementia prae- cox. That this was the nurse's own opinion is obvious although, quite properly, she does not say $0, ees 'A good nurse does not offer opinions' (Nursing Text)" -- again he broke off to cough, into his handkerchief; then finished hastily, "the exact page, I regret to say, I do not recall." : Something Diabolical . He's leading up to something diabolical, Tran thought, Oh, well, if he turns me across his knee end spanked me; it wouldn't be, A The "Another strange aspect," Top Sarge was going on, "is that so carefully documented a report should say no more about treat- nicul than that the nurse repeat- edly attempted to soothe the pa- tient with 'little thoughtful atten. tions,' I believe was the phrase." He affected to refer to the mauu- script for corroboration, "Of course, mental illness is outside the scope of your present expevi- ence; but I wonder if anyone hap- pens to know what treatments are most commonly used in such cas- es, . :", Miss--er--" he glanced 'at the class list before him as if selecting a name, . But Tran knew before he spoke whose name he was going to call, "Miss Dearborn?" he said. "Per. haps you could tell me?" So he was going to play cat ond mouse with her, was he? Tran cleared her throat, hut knew that if she cleared it a dozen times her voice would. not come. Before he could pursue the ma'- ter further, however, the bell 'ner- cifu'iy ended the period. = Tran would have 'scurried out of the room without a backward glance, but Dr. Sargent called, "0h, Miss Dearborn--just a min- ute, please." She Adores Him She had to stand, waiting for, the others to file out before she could approach the desk. When. stie -did, and ventured to look up, he was holding out her ill-starred manuscript. His eyes, "meeting hers, said as plainly as words, "Of course. It couldn't have been any- one but little feather-train." "Have you ever thought," he, asked aloud, "that fiction writing iiight be more exciting than nurs- ing?" For a moment Tran's nace - slocd 'still at the ominous impli- cation of his words. "I thought you might like "to destroy the evidence," he went en, putting the paper into her bands. Ly Why, Tran thought, but---he's really laughing--inside, He doesn't mind at all. . . . Oh, I'll never b> afraid of him again. 'Oh, Dr. Sargent," she .choked out, "I--you--ch, I think you're simply swell!" Then she did flee, because all f a sudden she realized that she adered Dr. Stephen Sargent. The World, His Oyster Of course she knew he would probably never even give her an- other thought. But that didn't really matter. All that.mattered vias that he should be alive and here where she could. see him - sometimes, striding around with that look he had of knowing, that the world was his oyster, and' ex- actly what he was going to do 'about it. .~. , Only that now every- thing would-be entirely different, because 'she understood row that he knew how -to laugh, and how to be kind. ..,"And some time she was going to work with him. Naturally, when one might con- template 'a radiant god--even if only from a remote distance--one had no time for lesser beings' like : the Bob Benchleys of the world. The situation might 'easily have 3 proved 'difficult when, early in : ' « THE ONLY DRY YEAST SEALED IN AN AIRTIGHT WRAPPER f Tran's second year, the was as- signed to duty in Emergency. For young Dr. Benchley had been re- tained at Saint Vincent's as as. sistant to Dr, Sargent; and it was he who was most frequently call: ed to Emergency in an advisory capacity when the internes found themselves beyond their profes- sional dépth. : "The Spartan Road' But young Dr. Benchley seem- 'ed to have retired with definite finality to distances of his own. He .was brisk, businesslike, when" their paths crossed. No reco'lec- tion, apparently, of the days when they two had -clung together, rocking in silent mirth, or danced surreptitiously in a deserted ser: = vice room to the music of a hurdy- gurdy outside--or even of the day he had begged her to marry him. Tran told herself that this was all very gratifying and exactly as she would have chosen; but she could not, help feeling a little piqued by his punctiliously profes- sional 'manner, . . Oh, well, she supposell she was just ope of those girls that mén kissed and forgot. At any rate, it made it much simpler 'to follow the Spartan road of self-discipline to which she had dedicated herself, - It would be gratifying to ree. . ord that Tran developed over- night into a perfectly controlled young nurse who met all situa- tions with assured poise. But of cawrse, since she was Tran, that could not be true. The occasions were still too frequent on which the had to bite her cheeks to keep from giggling. After helping at her first operation she was lu. © miliatingly sick at her stomach. - And there was the historic day when--unable to find a" seat in the operating- amphi-theatre where Dr. Sargent was. to_do something very daring in the way of laparatomies--she climb- ed to a point of vantage in a tree that gave on one of the windows, Iv should have been an instruc- tive afternoon but for the fact that Tran placed too much con- fidence in a rotten limb, and awoke to find herself in bed with iwo broken ribs, which, it seem- ° ed, Dr. Benchley had already set and strapped.

CHAMBERS GRAPES AND AUTUMN 2" Autumn with its lovely days of crisp air is upon us. Nothing is more characteristic of Fall days than the air pervaded with an ar- oma of grapes. : Great stress is being laid upon the minerals, sugar.and vitamins (A, B, C and D) of the grape, but there is nothing new in the im. portance of the grape, for many thousands of years ago the value 'of this luscious fruit was acclaim- ed by Romans, Greeks and Egyp- tians, The familiar name '"Bac- chus" was given to us by the Ro- mans. The Hebrews credited No- ah with bringing grapes to their land. So let us rejoice that in our own land, growing in such abun. dant crops we have this valuable food, resplendent with its lovely autumnal colorings of purple and gold. Every wise homemaker is storing a goodly supply of these additional mingrals and vitamins in her store' room, The making of grape juice is perhaps the most important, for it is the foundation of many a refreshipg fruit punch and is an invaluable %ddition to many desserts.

Women's Brains Work Faster Than Men's Humans Begin to Think at the Age of Three Months Some Interesting facts about. the brain are revealed by recent sclen- titic research. Dr. Donald B. Lind. sley, of New York,. an. eminent specialist, has found that babies begin to think at the age of thred months. Before that the brain recordings show either a complete absence of . electrical activity of the bfain or small grossly irregular beta waves oscillating at the rate of from 2§ to 40 per second, .Occasionally a single wave of alpha magnitude ap- pears In infants under. three months of age but rhythmic freg- uency of 'alpha waves (visible evl- ~ dence of the brain thinking) does not appear until the third month, Since infants begin to perceive ob- jects and follow them with thelr, oyes at about this same age, it is quite evident that the human brain awakens to functional activity at three months. They're Actually Waves What happens after that? tern of the alpha waves (thinking waves) 'Improves in-frequency, am- plitude, and rhythm with age, until the adult level is reachad at eight to ten years. For some realon the frequency Is increased over the adult levels during the ten to twelvo age period. Dr. Lindsley Is of the opinion that this rise in fre- quency is related to some of the" "niany physiological changes which _are believed to occur betweén the ages of ten to twelve. A somewhat disconcerting dis- covery, 80 far as men are concern- ed, Is that women think faster than men, says Dr. Edward Pod- olsky, writing-. in the "American Quarterly Review." The principal criteria; in judging the functional activity of th brain by means of its electrical eects are (1) the frequency; (2) amplitude; and (3) -the rhythm of the brain waves that appear oh the tiim, In womén Dr, Lindsley found the 'average [re- quency of the alpha waves was 11 per oi sii in men 10,2 per: sec- CUTS Right Throu Sh CLOGGING DIRT tas, IE use .
