customs in India. At native we'd

throwing on one another a kind Of red
powder until they are crimson from

draperies, the stains and splashes on
their faces and hair give them the ap.
pearance Of victims of massacre. In
India halls which may be securedsfor
small rental are provided for these
ceremonies. But weddings are also
celebrated In the Hindu temples, with
priests in attendance. In a Hindu
temple bride Of twelve must seat
herself on stone and be drenched
with water by her bridesmaids Be-
hind her, her mother is subjected to a
similar deluge, and at short distance
behind the brides mother the grand
mother undergoes the same treatment,
while In front of the dripping trio two
priests sit beside briskly burning
wood fire mumbling the prescribed
words for the ceremony. One casts a
few grains Of rice into the fire and the
other, with a ladle, throws into it few
drops of oil. sss

lions Of his friends. In the far east

CONVICT LABOR

Road Work Is Wen Done and

HONOR CAMPS IN VOGUE

Experiment Of Employing convicts on
Highways Has Proved Success IN
Many States Both 40 Regards Work
Done and For Moral Effect Upon
Prisoners.
A few years ago the use Of convict
labor for road building was confined
almost exclusively to few Of the
southern states where, 1t is safe to say,
the use Of this labor was planned with
the intention Of securing highway i'm
provements at little or no more cost
than was necessary for the housing and
feeding Of the prisoners in the prisons,
says George D. Steele in the Engineer
ing Record. In these early cases the
gang system was generally used, the
men working in stripes, usually in
chains and under guards who were
heavily armed. But state after state
has taken up the utilization Of convict
labor In recent years, until it is now
common in all sections Of the country.
With the growth of the use Of this class
Of labor conditions from the prisoners
standpoints have improved materially,
though there is still room for much
more Improvement.
In 1916 an experimental camp was
established in Fulton county, Ga, where
investigations and studies were carried
out relative to convict labor. The av-
