Hot Angora

Angora is the capital of the Turkish Republic. Angora in August is dry and blindingly, witheringly hot. To convince effete young Turks that Angora in August is still humanly habitable. President Mustafa Kemal Pasha announced, last week, that he would cancel his usual trip to cool Constantinople, stay in Angora through the summer. Constantinopolitans were relieved. Last year Constantinople spent some $100,000 stringing lights, building triumphal arches to honor the Ghazi on his Bosporus vacation.
