BRITISH EXPLORER
DESCRIBES TIBET
Members of National Geographic So
ciety Hear Lecture by Sir Francis
E. Younghusband.

Sir Francis E. Younghusband who
achieved fame in 1893 by heading the
British mission at Lhasa. Tibet. and ne
gotiated the historic treaty OF peace
there. delivered a lecture on Tibet before
the National Geographic Society at the
new Masonic Temple yesterday afternoon
and evening. Sir Francis has Travelled
extensively in Manchuria. from Pel<in tn
India by way of Chinese Turkestan. in
Hunza, in Chitral. in Transvaal and
Rhodesia and many other Aslatic and
South African countries. One of the
strongest superstitiOns was explained by
Sir Francis as follows:
THE people believe that the soul Of
the Dalai Lama does not die. Upon the
death of the ruler. it simply passes from
his body into that of a babe born as near
as possible to the time of the Lama s
death. The present Dalai Lama was the
son of a peasant. The average life Of
these rulers is about eighteen Years.
1T is upon their eighteenth birthday
that they come into their full rights. and
the regents. not at all anxious TO turn
over their authority, generally see that
the Lamas life comes to a close about
this time. They then search around for
a baby into whose body the dead rulers
soul NAV have entered"

considered were unemployment, voca-

putes, interstate employment and agr1>

ton. Among the witnesses heard have
been federal, state and municipal off
Gals, labor leaders in all parts of the
country, social workers and philan-
thropists, employers of labor in many
cases and noted economists, surgeons
and educators.
From each witness, in addition to ev-
idence as to labor conditions with
which he was personally familiar, sug-
gestions as to remedial legislation was
obtained. in arriving at its conclus-
ions and the final expression of the
commissioners opposition will be en-
bodied in bills to be drafted only af-

liar law, state or federal. Expert as
sistance in formulating the bills will
be rendered by men who have made q
life study of that work and it is de-
signed to make the measure proof

presented.

appears in sight with a number of
letters in his hand and calls out first
this name and that, and deals out to
eager hands envelopes which contain
the good wishes of the family and a
mothers kisses. Everyone is grave
and everyone listens for his name to
be called out Nothing for you. .....
"You fight, however, just as we'll as
your comrades. And whilst you only
do as well as they do, you really do
something more. The other soldiers
are fighting for the homes of their an
cestors and for the defense of their
property. You have neither home nCr
ancestors nor property, and you fight
with as much courage as those who are
getting letters by every post
Don't be ashamed because no one
has written to you. Be proud. Others
have been born in family whose posi-
ton is made You will have the salts
faction and the pride of making your
own. They have received you will
give, and your part is by far the best.

have no father.
