 He sustained demurrer filed by tha state. in which it was held that where all moneys derived from ths source were expended for work in con. neetion with that source. no appro. priation in dollars and cents is re
 quired. The suit was brought by H. F. Jackson. It was charged that funds were being paid out in the upkeeT and to further the work of the three commissions, but there was no spe, eific appropriation in dollars and cents as required by the constitution.

 Violations of the law against the adulteration of feed are becoming so common, since the exhaustion of the fund for feed inspection, that John H. Page, commissioner of agriculture, will ask buyers and prosecuting at torneys to unite in an effort to en- force the law, he says.
 'The law still is in effect, although there is no appropriation for it's en- fercement," MT. Page said Tt is re- ported feed is being sold without the tags showing the guaranteed analysis, in packages not prescribed by law and in packages not of uniform weight. l have received many complaints that sold as pure cotton seed meal All of these things are in violation of the law
 Since Governor Hays vetoed the appropriation for feed inspection there is no fund for the enforcement of the law. I am asking that buyers who detect adulterations in the feed report to the prosecuting attorney and I shall ask the prosecuting attorney to co- operate in enforcing the law 1 shall inspect leed being sold in Little Rock and Argenta and at other places if pos sible. but it is impossible, without money, to hire inspectors, for this of flee to enforce the raw without the CO operation of feed buyers and prose cutting attorneys"

 Land of Happiness and Free Women.
 The natural sunniness of the Bur, mese temperament is shown by the fact that this most pessimistic of all religions has not been able to destroy the note of merriment and practical good cheer that one feels in Burma. There is no such look of sadness and mystery on the faces of the crowd that one sees in India, but rather a certain sickness and satisfaction with the good things of life.
 We were impressed, as all travellers are, by the contrast in the position of women in Burma with that of In dian women. Women go and come freely in the street, as they do with us They are not married so young They engage in business, have prop erty rights, and seem altogether the

his Buddhist faith that gives Burma it's characteristics and it's charm. Out of the twelve million inhabitants of Burma, ten million are Burmese. The Burmese is one of the proudest, most indolent and self-satisfied races on earth. The rude jostle of these other peoples who are elbowing their way into his country, competing with him in business, acquiring his land, even questioning the supremacy of his re- ligion, is giving harsh jolt to many ideas that have held placid sway in the Burmese mind. The awakening is painful, but part of the stern kind ness of Providence to a people grown inert through isolation.
 No Longer isolated.
 There is surely nothing isolated about Burma today. The Chinese are pouring in from the North. It is estimated that if the immigration con tinues there will be million Chinese who will be living in Burma within the next fifteen years. These Chinese u duCl D. HUI dlld D1Cl luLOl marry with the Burmese, and form a strong and stable element in the popu- lation. The Bengali, Tamil and Telu- gu immigrants are more alien, less readily absorbed and introduce con- plicated problems, social and religious. In Rangoon there are already almost as many Indian Hindus as Burmese Buddhists. These poor Indian coolies bring with them their idolatry, their caste marks, their Hindu festivals; and Buddhism finds itself once more face to face at close quarters with the Hinduism from which it sprang. Which faith will more strongly infiu- ence the other only the future can dis close
 At present the outstanding feature of Burma is Buddhism. A hundred thousand mendicant monks, clad in the sacred yellow robe, go up and down the country.

everyone who visits Burma is fascinated by it and longs to
 return, for though to some ex- tent it has been invaded by Occidental civilization, in the main it is yet un- spoiled. Then, too, one of its charms is the mingling of modern hustle and Oriental calm. Such cities as Manda- lay and Rangoon are full of these in congruous contrasts, writes Helen Barrett Montgomery in the Mission ary Review of the World; impress sions of golden pagodas, yellow-robed ascetics, fiower-garlande shrines, silk-skirted men, mingle with the re- membrance of broad, paved streets, street cars, business blocks, newspa- pers, clubhouses, parks, department stores and railway stations.
 The mingling of races makes Bur ma a "melting-pot" in miniature. Ran goon has it's Chinese quarters, it's Tamil and Telugu streets, it's motley throng of Europeans from many lands added to it's native Burmese, Karen, Talian, Shan and other races. In fact, more than half of the population of Rangoon are foreign born. The com ing of these diverse races to trade and to live is producing profound changes in Burmese life
 The Burman is the aristocrat of the land. It is his country, his language,
