STILL WATER. Okla...April 29.—
Dklalgoma's board bill tor crows from.
Its sister states. north. east. south and
west. is $1,200,000 annually. This pest,
bf the air. who migrates to Oklahoma
-10r the winter holidays. is one or, the
most. costly visitors to which the state
pays host.
According to a report made here
today by C. E. Sandborn. professor of
Entomology at the Oklahoma A. and
at. college, crows cause a loss of more
than this sum to farmers each year.
chiefly through their consumption of
grain. The figure was arrived at on
an estimate of 10.000.000 crows con-
‘suming $10,000 worth of grain per day
for 120 days. the average period of
their sojourn in the winter.
"Oklahoma boards the crow during
burden from the northern and eastern,
states." the repOrt says. “where it ap-
pears to be more of a summer resid-
tnt than a. winter pest. They have‘
acquired the. habit of decaying others.
and returning here until it appears
the annual crop of News from ad-
5oining states winter here. The nah
ture of the farm crops at this time of
the year and the timlmr lands make a
good refuge for them."
Compared with his report. Professor
Bandhorn quoted statistics from four
romnlunity councils of Logan county.
which estimated that the crows did
871.200 damage in the county alone.
The roosting plum-s and food ranges
of the crow are such. he snid. that at
least ‘30 counties \vrrc ravaged last
year equal to Logan county. thcrcfore
making a total estimate of $l.4‘.‘4.000
{Or Oklahoma's hoard hill to crows.
“A proper (Inscription during the
wintr-r in Oklahoma would appear fic-
titious to persons who have not seen
sonic proof of the crow's presence in!
lhc state," the entomologist dccliircs.‘
"Persons who do not ll'il\'('l over Okla-

CONSTANTINOPLE. April 29.—
The command oi: the Sheik-Islam.
Vicar of the Sultan. ordering Turkish
Iwomen not to appear on the stage. is
being ignored by them. The German-
Austrian and Rllied occupations of the
city. together with the loss of hus-
bands. fathers. and brothers. and the
press of poverty. has brought a new
freedom to Turkish women. This is
daily seen by their clothing.
They wear their veils still. instead
of a hat. but turned back and tied in-
to a pretty‘knot. after the manner of
'their Russian refugee sisters.
Because of the high price of cloth.
Turkish women no long-er wear a
multitude of garments. designed in
old time to hide the outlines of their‘
figures. Both veil and dresses are :1
deep sea blue. instead or the dull
conventional black once the custom.
Some affect the homespun hrown
dress. the becoming garment tin-signed
