old men. however, are rash enough to
sit down In the same seat with a Turk
ish woman. Turkish women seldom
go to a theater where there are men.
Special matinees and evening perform
ances are arranged 'for women only.
The war bus done much to break
down the barrier between Turkish men
nntl women. The women were needed
so badly as nurses ami relief workers
that the government had to avail It
self of their services. And now it Is
regarded as quite proper for men and
women to be associated In all sorts of
charitable and educational works.
Consequently many women who were
formerly forced to content themselves
with seclusion In a home where fancy
work and French novels were the only
diversions art1 devoting their time to
hospitals, orphanages and other phil
anthropic Institutions.

Women who have been educated
abroad or In the'' foreign schools In
Turkey are the leaders In this move

Work has interested many women in

a great part In the nationalist move

One Is to Assist Development
of
Strong Framework for Later
Support of Fruit.
One of the main objects in pruning
young trees is to assist in the develop-
nient of a strong framework for the
Inter support of fruiting wootl and
fruit. It Is desirable that this frame
work be developed as quickly iis. Is
compatible with a proper maturing or
ripening of the wood In the fall. The
main scaffold limbs and their branches
which go to form the framework of
the trees are developed from shoots.
That Is. In the young apple tree the
shoots of one season become the limbs
of the next season. Consequently any
practice which promotes a strong.
vigorous shoot growth in the young
tree Is a direct aid In ' building Its
framework. It Is a well-established
fact that comparatively heavy pruning
Is a great stimulant to shoot growth, a
stimulant In the sense of causing
larger and stronger, though fewer
shoots.

Not ninny fruits are as thrifty and
as sure to bear under reasonable con
ditions as grapes. Tills fruit is one
of the oldest und for years and cen
turies the most popular fruit. Prim

used it.
it Is doubtful whether there Is nny
fruit that Is any more wholesome and
otherwise valuable to the human sys
