In 1880, 80 per cent, of the Amer

66 per cent.; in 1012, 62 per cent.;
in 1020 Jess than 50 per cent. The
tendency is not in the direction of
government “by the people.’’

ARAB WOMEN DEMAND
REMOVAL OF VEIL
JERUSALEM, Sept 18—The stub
born conservatism of the Moham
medan custom with regard to the so
cial isolation of the women in Pales
tine may soon give way before the
movement launched by Arab femi
nists for the removal of the veil. The
Holy Land, backward in many re
spects is behind such Moslem coun
tries as Turkey and Egypt in break
ing the shackles holding women in
seclusion.
The movement for the enfran
chisement of Moslem women in Pal
estine is of recent origin and is
traceable to the influx of people
from the west, especially Jewish im
migrants coming to Seattle in their
national home.
As the first step towards their
emancipation the women demand ec
clesiastical sanction for the removal
of the dark veil from their faces. If
such flying in the face of age-long
custom does not win official appro
val some of the leading women of
Palestine are determined to do what
their Moslem sisters did in Turkey
where the veil has been entirly cast
off or at least in Egypt where only
a light, transparent veil is still worn
extending from below the nose.
The ban on the public appearance
of women has retarded the develop
ment of the Arab draba and it is
the hope of the feminists that the
admittance of Moslem women to the
stage will follow the removal of the
veil.
Arab women of Palestine are keen
not only on social emancipation but
on participation in politics.
“Take us out of our insulting se
clusion and remove from our faces
the offensive black cloth, give us our
opportunity as free members of a
free people, granting us the right
to fight with you for our national
ideals,” says in part an appeal ap
pearing recently in an Arab newspa
per in Haifa.
“Then we shall in gratitude sacri
fice our jewels, delivering up our
gold and precious stones for the es
tablishment of an Arab National
Rank.”
LADIES AID MEET
Twenty ladies attended the meet
ing of the Ladies Aid Society at
the Methodist church. The new books

freshments afterward, Mrs. B. E.
Crow entertaining. Mrs. Dunlap will
be the hostess next Wednesday. No
fee is required for instruction in
First Aid. The members give the us
ual offering which is a penny a day.
The class meets promptly at 2 p.
m. every Wednesday.
NOTICE TO PUBLIC

at Sitka last week. Mr. Berk was
born in Austria in 1856 and came to
America in 1874, coming to Alaska
49 years ago. The last ten years
he had been located on the Yukon
river near Ruby. He entered the

FRYE’S “DELICIOUS” HAM
IS TENDER AND JUICY
Frye’s “Delicious” is tender because
only tender young porkers are used to
produce it—it is juicy because the ex
clusive Frye process keeps in every
ounce of goodness and it is mild-flavor
ed because it is cured in the careful
Frye way—giving it that delicately
smoked flavor that makes the irresistible
appetizing flavor.
