FORMER SERVE i WIFE IS HIGH : IN REDJJNION Vice-President of Asian Soviet Was Sold Into Marriage at 12. Bu United Press SAMARKAND, SOVIET REPUBLIC OP UZEKISTAN, U. S. S. R., June 26.—Some years before the revolution a comely, olive-skinned girl child of 12 brought up in a primitive Moslem home, was sold into marriage to a man four or five times her age. She entered his well-stocked harem as fourth wife, assumed the sign of bondage the shapeless paranja which blots out a woman's face and form. For two years she endured her bondage. Then she ran away to She knew well enough that if caught she was fated to death at the hands of her husband, his family or even her own relatives. Their honor had been offended and there was nothing in law or in custom to stop them from wiping out the insult in blood. Faced Starvation Several years she shifted for herself in the Old City of Tashkent, homeless, outcast, on the thin edge of starvation—yet learning somenow to read and to write and steeping herself in new ideas. Then came the revolution, bringing her opportunity. She rose quickly in the Communist party, making herself idolized by the Uzbek women and hated with a deathly hate by the old conservative classes. Her hair clipped man-style, a cigaret in her mouth, a military coat over her trim girlish figure—she became the symbol incarnate of the new woman in a country where woman was a chattel of her male owners.

Personality Undimmed. And now—ln her early thirties, still good-looking, the flame of her personality undimmed—this woman, Comrade Abidova, is vice-president of the Soviet Republic of Uzbekistan. The story of Abidova is not isolated. Tens of thousands of women have been drawn into active political careers. They sit In the Soviets, they direct women’s propaganda. And every one of them, in some farm, can tell a like tale of revolt and sacrifice. The suffraget and women’s rights movements of the west are amusing parlor games compared with the grim struggle of emancipated women here. Death and torture are their daily rewards. The full weight of the government is on their side. Man's Absolute Equal Legally, wcman is man’s absolute equal. Marriage by sale and marriage of children is forbidden. Those interfering with women who remove their horsehair veils often are treated as counter-revolution-aries and shot. But the law must contend with forces equally strong, and in the remote sections far stronger. It must meet the weight of a thousand years of traditi u and of ingrained 1 religious convictions under which woman is regarded as a creature without a soul and without human rights.

CHIC SALE CHEERS; DAYS GET SHORTER Well, sir, I was glad to see in the paper that these days we are havin’ right now really are the longest of the year. Most of us thought maybe it was the stock market or the new tariff argument or the Maine stein song that was makin’ the days seem so long. The weather bureau says Saturday was a good long day, but that Sunday was a minute longer and so was Monday. But from now on everything is fixed all right. We ain’t got anything to worry about. No matter what happens we can just say "cheer up, the days are gettin' shorter.” Os course there’s summer. But that ought not to better us much. We can just say: “Cheer up. The first hundred days are the hottest.” Wasn't it just like Admiral Byrd to get back from the south pole at the beginnin’ of summer? I ( wish there was some way for the P.

The oldest parliament in the world celebrated the thousandth anniversary of its birthday, today. Festivities throughout Iceland in honor of the Althing, or parliament, started this morning to continue until Saturday night. This tiny republic with a population of only a little more than 100,000 has thrown itself into three days of holiday-making, on an occasion which is likely to be unprecedented. It is packed full of visitors from all parts of the world, so full that veritable cities of tents have been erected at Thingvellir, the original meeting place of the Althing, and at Lake Reykjavik, to house them. One king, two crown princes, forty representatives of twenty-five independent states, 2,000 Icelanders living in the United States, who chartered two liners to bring them here, 20,000 Icelandic fanners, and at least the same number of tourists from all over the world, are here for the celebration. The three royal personages are King Christian, Crown Prince Olav of Norway, and Crown Prince Gustav Adolf of Sweden.
