The Mussulman's Wives and other oddities from long ago
A jumbled historical column recounts a Turkish tale of Dr. Jossuf Bloch and a doomed hotel scene during an earthquake in Bulak street. Women of the harem are involved as the house collapses, with dramatic exit into the air and symbolic punishment for the two women. It also notes grand mufti inquiries and the Bosphorus expiations. The piece then shifts to feats of granite transport, then praises Japan's wartime sacrifices, and ends with a quip about Heinz trade and club socialities.
