Istanbul Sells Her Secrets , , A considerable decline in the stock of "dime novel" publish mg concerns should follow the announcement that the imperial harem of the seraglio palace of the Ottoihan sultans at Istanbul was thrown open yesterday ,to tourists and other sensation seekers at two '.bits per. It is an interesting commentary on K dominance of modern material ism and commercialism that the city of Istanbul, once the royal dispenser of terror and mystery, to a romance-loving world, is selling the last of her secrets. For four arid a half centuries a veil of mystery and romance been closely- drawn about thig .ion of e seragli0 palace. It was the most jealous ly guarded corner of the mag nificient palace arid of the vast Ottoman empire. Hundreds of fierce eunuchs within, thousands of heavily-armed soldiers with out, huge walls and heavy bronze gates inviolate the mys tery of the imperial harem. Hack writers and more competent lit erary men made capital in every j language of the appeal to the popular imagination provided by accounts of the sultans and dowagers who passed their lives within the .walls of the royal harem. Those of a romantic turn of mind -will deplore the passing of the last of the royal harems as another evidence that the world is fast becoming prosaic, with little remaining of the myster ious and exciting aspects of life. But more optimistically practi cal men will hail the opening of the ancient stronghold of Asia tic luxury and voluptuousness to the curious at 25 cents as an indication that the dollar, franc and pound are becoming worthy of the sobriquet of almighty. But that does not necessarily mean that life is becoming any the less romantic, mysterious or attractive. Lenten Season Daily Devotion Tuesday, April 8. "The Wis dom of Duty." (Read Romans 15 : 1-9. ) Memory verse : "Bear ye one another's burdens." ' Meditation : Many people do, not like the word duty. A friend, remarked recently : I hate ' the word duty. I have heard it all my life. I wish I might never hear it again." "Duty" meant to him a line of conduct demand ed by somebody else a load laid upon him from outside, without his consent. Duty is not some thing that others require of us. It is something that we require of ourselves. It is a line of con duct that we must pursue toward others if we are going to arrive at ourselves. It is the road to that sense of inner satisfaction that is, perhaps, to a normal per son the best indication that he is realizing his true relation to his fellow men. Regarded in this way duty is not irksome bondage but the road to life. Prayer: "As neglected duties come now to mind, help us to go make heaven about us." Amen.

WHOOPEE QUEEN ROLE FOR MARIE PREVOST Marie Prevost, who essays the role of a "whoopee queen" in O the Tiffany all-talking produc-jffis a itr l it T I ti()nTarty Girl, now showing at the Carolina theatre, is one of the small group of outstand ing stars of the silver screen, including Gloria Swanson, Bebe Daniels and Phyllis Haver, who originally began their careersas bathing beauties in Mack Sen nett comedies. I Like her sister stars, however, Miss Prevost was far too talent ed to be wasted on two-reelers. She essayed her : first featured role opposite Charlie ; Ray in "The Old Swimmin, Hole?", sev eral years ago, and after that appeared in a number of notable productions, including "The Beautiful and the Damned," "Tarnish," "Kiss Me Again," "The Marriage Circle," and "The Dark Swan." Fans will no doubt remember the brilliant characterization given by Miss Prevost in Cecil B. DeMille's sensational picture, "The Godless Girl," in which she had an outstanding role. An other recent production of the dark-eyed Canadian player was opposite William Boyd in "The Flying Fool," released, several months, ago. , , Marie Prevost's hobby is pets. At her home in Beverly Hills she has a St. Bernard dog, a Police dog, a pair, of, fox terriers, a pair of Cairn terriers, two gi gantic Persian cats each with its individual kennel. Beats Up Wife . i , Lee Baldwin, colored, who hauls coal for the University, has his troubles. Recently re turned from several months on the road, he saw his wife com ing from the home of William Austin, colored. Upon her admission that Wil liam, had been pinch-hitting as husband during his absence, Lee Lee proceeded to tear off her clothing and chastise her. The next day he repeated his punish ment, and on the. next day he appeared in court not only upon the charge of ; assault, but on another, public drunkenness, as well. . ' . : Judge Hinshaw assessed - him with $2.50 arid costs for drunk enness, and with costs for the assault charge. Lee expressed willingness to continue living with his wife, and she with him, but Lee in sisted that their residence be in Durham, away from the tempt ing home of William Austin. i Royster at Wake Forest A Tribute from His Former Room mate, Charles U. Harris The writer knew James Finch Royster in his boyhood days in Raleigh, and at Wake Forest College roomed with him. The news of his death was a great shock. In his youth at Wake Forest he was known as Jimmie Roys ter. To his friends' he was a marvel. He was courageous. He was absolutely loyal to his j friends. He was interested in all college activities. He was president of the Euzelian Liter ary Society; played a splendid game of tennis, and caught on the college baseball team in his senior year, 1900. He made the team despite the handicap that he could not "peg" to second overcoming this by perfecting a first bounce throw that got the runner. He was one of the three most distinguished students in col lege the other two being Joe Adams, now of the Cornell Eng lish faculty .brother of Winston Adams, late of the Charlotte Ob server, and Harry Trantham, a Rhodes scholar, who is teaching somewhere in the South now. Royster's ability to think, to grasp, and to learn, caused his fellow students to look upon him in awe and wonder. His love was the English course, under the late Dr. Benjamin F. Sledd, marks in this and parallel . courses were nearly always per fect. He loved Chaucer, Mat thew Arnold, Poe, and Shelley, He . had a profound respect amounting almost to a reverence for Shakespeare. He wrote ibr the Wake Forest Student an ar ticle on Shelley that was too deep for his classmates and which caused favorable comment among scholars over the - coun try. He finished his college course in three years and as a sideline completed the ' law course. . Sometimes Hbyster attempted to, appear hard-boiled, and free from sentiment nor emotion, but iie could not do 'this successfully, because deeply ingrained in his nature were the :tenderest emo tions and: sentiments. The friends of nis at Wake Forest numbered the entire faculty and student body. , To them his death brings deep grief. ' ; ' Charles U. Harris. Injured Students Show Improvement ' V Reports from "Watts hospital state that , Larry; Flynn, J. D. McNairy, Jr. and J. C. Ander son, . University . students , who were in j ur ed .

S: McCorkle, director, rendered a violin selection ac companied by -his- wife, and Charles H. White, Jr., student leader, gave -a cornet solo. Under the same auspices and in the same place, the Universi ty orchestra will give a concert on Sunday, April 27. 38 HIGH SCHOOLS IN DEBATING FINALS Thirty-eight North Carolina high schools had reported last night to E. R. Rankin, secretary of the High School Debating Union, that they won both sides in the triangular debates held over the state, Friday night and would send teams to Chapel Hill for the finals on April 17 and 18 ' Secretary Rankin said a num- !ber of schools had not yet re ported.

Suspended Sentence Given Tubercular Button Norwood, Jr., 25, colored, who has tuberculosis and recent ly spent several months in a san itarium, was arrested a few minutes before convention of the local recorder's court Monday when he was found with two half-'galion jars"of whiskey in his old automobile. Denying that he ever sold whiskey, Button alleged that, al though his physician had not prescribed it,; he had found it beneficial to his health. , Button testiified that ' $15 in one-dollar bills found in his pocket, had been sent him by his wife, who works in New York and sends money to him for his support. "Two months on the road," said Judge C. P. Hinshaw, "but since you're sick, we'll suspend it on condition that, for 60 days, you do not set foot in Chapel Hill. And I have my opinion of a man who'll let his wife work for his support, and then spend the money for whiskey," Esperanto Club To Continue Classes In the last few meetings of the Friends of Esperanto, the question of the combination of regular classes was discussed. Air present voted against discon tinuatibn, and asked the instruc tor to conduct, as usual, a class every Tuesday afternoon from 5 to 6 o'clock during the month of April; - Accordingly, the class will meet today at 5'clock in order to continue the reading and translation of a short story writ ten in Esperanto.
