Winter Sports Enthusiasts Forget Chilled Toes as Skiing Takes Country by Storm C*\ A\. I >. BY IKV1NCJ 1)1X THHE entire nation, it seems, is on skis. Casting aside their dread for chilled toes and frost-bitten fingers the American people have launched themselves into a phase of activity that is grow- ing by leaps and bounds—winter sports. A 10-inch snowfall no longer Is a calamity. It's a cause for celebration, and sporting goods sales records, snow train sched- ules and the opening of numer- ous winter resorts bear this out. Although certain sections of the country are better suited for winter sports, practically every town above the Mason-Dixon line that can boast of a \white winter,\ is getting out on skis. The greatest concentration, however, is in upper New York state and New England, the Rocky Mountains, the great Northwest, and along California's coastal ranges. • • • r\EPARTMENT stores report the largest volume of busi- ness ever done in winter sports equipment. Railroads run week- end snow trains to mountain re- sorts that are jammed with thousands of city dwellers. Doz- ens of capable instructors have been imported from Germany. Switzerland, Austria and the Scandinavian countries, to teach the intracies of the slalom, tele- FORMER PASTOR TO NEW CHARGE IN INDIANA Winthrop — The Rev. I/>wis R.

Age and previous experience are no bar- riers. Not only is it a thrilling sport but its healthful and one of the best body conditioners in the book. CKIING, like anything else, is a matter of practice. It would be foolhardy for anyone to skim down the mountainside in a sla- lom or obstacle race, or attempt to soar oft* the jumps, without learning the fundamentals first. It looks easy but it isn't. Many is the optimistic young- ster who fastened on a pair ot skis for the first time, shoved off down the hillside and sud- denly found one ski pointing north, the other south, and didn't have the slightest idea of what to do about it. Probably the greatest skiing country in North America is found in Canada, whose Lauren- tian Hills north of Montreal, and Rockies farther westward, afford the ultimate in winter sports. • • • \DUT the American public finds it isn't necessary to pack oft\ to the Canadian Rockies, Sun Valley, or any other winter sports resort to get its fill of winter sports. Public parks and the open fields of the country-side are proving to be good training grounds for beginners. Junior used to get out his sled and shine up the runners when- ever he went down to the park in the winter. Nov. he grts out his skis and gives them a good coat of wax. He's founc its a lot more fun. A million or more just like him have discoveied the same *hing. Turkish Dictator Loses 'Right Hand'with Mailed Fist MADRID MAN TAKES OFFICE Thomas R.

By MILTON BROXNER London—When recently Kemal Ataturk, undisputed 4 dictator of Turkey, announced the retirement of Prime Minister Lsmet Inonu. it meant at least a partial severence of the greatest Damon and Pythi- ! as friendship of modern times. j For twenty years the two men 'had been close comrades and co- I workers. When the Turkish dicta- tor was still only Mustapha Kemal, lsmet Inonu was only Colonel ls- met Bey. They met each other, es- j teemed each other and worked jhand in hand. Both were fired with I a hatred of the old Sultanic regime j with its corruption and its weak- iness. Both believed that Turks (should go back to the mountain i plain from whence they sprang— | the great Anatolian country in Asia. Both believed that the location of I the capital in Europe merely made of Constantinople—as it then was— a pawn which European naval powers could threaten. Both re- fused Turkey's status after the i world war as one of the definitely beaten powers which must dance the way the Allies whistled. i Commanded Troops Fighting Russians In 1917 in the world war, Musta- Ipha Kemal was in command of Turkish forces fighting the Rus- sians, lsmet Bey was sent as his chief of staff. Soldier came to ap- preciate soldier. After the world war ended, Turkey's troubles did not end. A weak and puppet Sul- tan did pretty much what the Al- lies wanted. Also the Greeks, un- der King Constantine, encouraged by Lloyd George, still Premier of Britain, proceeded in a war of con- quest to make Asia Minor their own. Kemal had refused to ac- knowledge the sovereignty of the Sultan and gathered a force of his own in Anatolia. Therf he proceeded against the Greeks. Once more lsmet Pasha was at his side. Their. troops sent the Greeks into a headlong re- tr.eat right to the sea. So the Tur- kish republic was finally born and Kemal became its permanent President. lsmet became Premier. For twelve years lsmet served in this capacity. Together Kemal and lsmet modernized the country. Together they abolished the cali- phate and Mohammedanism was no longer the state church ortreli- gion. The habits of the people were modernized. Schools in abundance were built. Constantinople, now Is- tanbul, was deserted as a capital. Instead Angora, on the Anatolian plateau, became the seat of gov- ernment—far from possibly hostile navies, difficult of access for hos- tile invading armies. Made Turkey For Turks Kemal and lsmet were playing for safety, for time. They had a vast program which has been in part realized. The state has a hand in most Turkish industries. An enormous length of railway lines has been completed. Invasion of Turkey's administrative team of Prime Minister lsmet Inonu, left, and Dictator Kemal Ataturk, right, has been broken up with Inonu's retire- ment. In the background General Fahrettlne listens to the conference I of hi* superiors, both army men. ! foreign business has, as far as pos- isible, been avoided. It has been a .case all along of \Turkey for the 'Turks.\ But now Kemal has sent lsmet into recrement. He feels that the .strong military hand is no longer ! needed. Now he wants to develop Turkey's economic and financial 'future. Which is why 53-year-old ! Jelal Bayar has been chosen as the 'new Premier. He had been Mlnis- ' ter of \National Economy. Courts Friendship on Every Hand Like t!he United States, like Brit- ain, Kemal's Turkey wants peace. Hence Kemal is t*.? only dictator of today who ba^s the League of Nations. H?nce h's pact with the Balkan states ard b.s f other pact with the Asiatic neighbors, Iran, Irak and Afghanistan. Hence his deaf ear to Italian and German blandishments. Hence his precise ; attitude as regards Soviet Russia. He is neither for nor against Rus- sian Bolshevism. He is Just a j neighbor preserving good rela- tions. But hie means to be boss in his own garden. Hence his recent an- nouncement that the mysterious ' Spanish\ submarines, which were attacking shipping in the Medittelrranean, would be fired upon at sight if caught cruising around Turkish waters. Turkey under the old Sultan was the \Si0k Man of Europe.\ Turkey under Kemal is the strong man of Anatolia. The United States consumes an estimated total of 30,000,000 tons of scraip iron annually. FRED VARNEY TAKES BRIDE Norfolk—Miss Ella Ann Farns- worth, Norfolk, became the bride of Fred Varney of Potsdam, Sat- urday, Jan. 8, at the Church of the Visitation. The Rev. A. J.
