THE TEMPLE OF THE MONKEYS
On the outskirts Of that city of many temples,
Benares stands the most popular temple of them
all a blazing red edifice built in honor of Durga,
goddess Of obstruction and bloody deeds. The
stranger visits the shrine of DuTga because it is
famous; the Hindu comes to invoke the aid of the
DESTROYER or to ward off her baeful influence by
rich offerings. AS he enters he rings heavy
bell to arouse the goddess, and draws her atten-
tion to his humble self by calling out Hail! my
mother Then he intones his prayer, half con-
fdent of help to come half fearful lest the god
tiated
The stranger who to Duryea's sanctuary
is less interested in her gloomy black image, which
dominates the interior, than in the courtyard. The
red temple walls aflame in the sunshine. and
Hindu devotees chant drowsily in the shade of
the cloiser about the temple. But the attention
of the visitor is fixed upon the monkeys that swing
from tree to tree and chase another up and
down columns and walls. They everywhere,
hundreds of them, chattering and scrambng closer
in the hope that the newcomer will buy corn from
the priests feed them. One might well think
the monkey the symbol of Durga, the fearful The
fact is, the monkey is sacred TO the Hindu, and
though these monkeys and their ancestors before
them have taken up residence in the temple grove
of goddess whose favorite animal is the lion, yet
the Hndus dare not drive away the usurpers to
the temple of their patron.
Durga may command the fear and offerings OF
her worshipers, but the irreverent stranger stops
outside to laugh at the jabbering brown acrobats
and always remembers the spot as the Temple of
the Monkeys

Your War and Your Duty.

This is Just as much your war as it is
anybody's war. The obligation resting upon
you to make sacrifices is just as great as that
resting upon anybody else. Don't wait for the
other man to do what you should do Go TO
one of the banks today and make formal appli-
cation for Liberty Bond. Columbus En-
quirer-Sun.
Atlanta semi-weekly journal. (Atlanta, Ga.) 1898-1920, 1918-04-23

This is the spirit that will win the war, the
spirit that recognizes duty personal and per-
forms it to the full. The man who does not see
that his duty to support the Liberty Loan is as
plaiE and imperative the soldiers TO go over
the top when the order comes has not learned the
first lesson of loyalty.
The soldier depends that loan for munitions
and clothing and food as much as the man back
home depends the soldier for defense against
the Huns The soldier hazards his life and if need
be yields il up in order that your freedom and
your home may remain secure. He and his gallant
comrades on land and fighting for YOU as
much as for any other man woman among the
nations millions, and are depending upon YOU for
support much upon any other
Not until you have done your part to the full
length of your will you be really loyal. Not
until you have put sef-denial into your effort will
YOU be worthy Of the supreme sacrifice which thou
sands of brave making for you. To buy
Liberty Bonds merely because they are the safest
of all Investments and among the most profitable
is enlightened self-interest, but not patriotism.
Buy them because they are the surest and most
substantial means whereby you help the men
at the front. Buy them with money saved through
sacrifice. Buy them IS YOUR contribution to the
for YOUR liberty and welfare.

Prediction That Whiskers
May Be Fad After the War

London newspapers are predicting
the full beard will come into fashion
both in Europe and America as re-
suit of the war. War always has in
f1uenced the style Of whiskers, OBJ
serves the Louisville Courier, even in
the time of Alexander the Great, who
required his soldiers to shave off their
boards because a beard was handle
which an enemy could seize.
The Crimean war in the f1fties
brought the full beard into fashion
again. In the campaign British sol
diers spent months in the trenches
where they had no chance to shave.
Their boards grew and grew and they
wore them when they returned to
England.
The English papers say that many
soldiers coming home from the
trenches are bearded, and, unless pre-
cedents fail, the full beard is go
ing to come into fashion again. Should
our American troops return from the
war with boards, we may look for that
fashion to become prevalent again ID
America as it did after the Civil war.

Soldiers Find Texas Cities
Quite Like Those Back Home

Texans are greatly pleased to find
that United States soldiers from the
North and East have so readily fall
en- into the way of things in the Lone
Star state. The battaliOns encamped
there are said to express great adj
miratiOn for Dallas and other Texas
cities, and to admit that they are
something like the cities back home"
And they are. That is one of the
first discoveries made by anyone who
goes from one place to another in the
United States, observes the Christian
Science Monitor. 1t becomes monot-
onous after a while, to find the towns
and cities are much alike. but mod
erniZation has largely done the same
kind of things in Europe. Rome is
every year growing to look more like
London. Paris, and New York. Dali
las. Tex, might be situated in Massa-
chusetts. Illinois, Colorado or Cali
fornia, without exciting comment. And
vet there was distinctive architecture
in the different sections of the Ameri-
can Union not so many years ago.

Telescope and Spirit Level
Part of Air Raiders Outfit

If bomb be dropped from an air
plane 10000 feet up, and travelling at
a speed of 100 miles an hour. it
reaches the ground considerable dis
lance ahead Of the point at which it
was released, and the difficulty Of
judging how to hit particular build
ing is enormous.
A machine invented to assist the
raiders has been found on a captured
Gotha. The main feature, says the
London Tit-Bits, is telescope hung
on gimbals and pointing through the
floor of the bOmber's compartment. In
connection with this is a form of SpiF-
it level which brings a bubble into the
center Of glass disk when the tele-
scope Is vertical, SO that the bomber
knows when it is in the position that
can be trusted. Below the telescope
is q prism, so that the image seen is
not an object directly underneath, but
at any desired distance ahead, accord
ing to the angle at which it is set.
For instance, if the airplane is 10000
feet up, and the speed Is such that the
bomb must be released half a mile
from the object, the prism has to be
set at an angle of Is degrees. Even
then the calculation is liable to error,
because the density of different layers
of air may vary.

MANY uniformed writer's tell us to
the offices and the cities; put the wom-
en- to work in the fields Let me say
that few of these boys are fit to be on
farm and given their board.
'An inexperienced man from office
life can learn in the time set but little
of the ways of working a farm; farm
ers are grown, not made in a few
weeks. An unframed farmland with
pair of horses and a riding cultiva-
tor going into field of corn, potatoes,
etc. can do more damage in a day
than his services are worth in an en-
tire season.
"As for women, the native born are
not educated for farm work. They
might be forced to learn in the course
of number of years, but they are not
as constitutionally rugged as their for
eign sisters: they were not brought up
to labor in the fields.
IF a supply of labor is not furnished
to the farms the world faces a serious
condition for the year 1888, one
more serious than my words convey.
Where, then, is this farm labor to
come from?
MANY people have advocated the
introduction Of Chinese. If the war is
to continue and a shortage of workers
is going to last, why wouldn't it be a
good plan to import 100000 or 5000
Chinese after the manner set by France
and let them stay in this country for
three or five years?
1.-THE Chinaman, as CalifOrnians tell
US, is reliable, industrious and very
capable farmland probably because
his country has been pre-eminently an
agricultural nation for centuries. IF
we do not want them any longer than
back to China under terms that are at
tractive and generous, such as the
French have promised.
"This really seems at first blush to
be the likeliest solution of our pressing
need of tillerS Of the SOIL We must
not forget that it will be a long, long
time before we will again have labor
ing on our railroads, working In our
construction gangs at various under
takings, the thousands of Italians up
on whom we relied down to 1914
eff the Introduction of the Oriental
is objected to, then why not enlist our
trained farm labor in the National
Guard, retain them in this country for
home defense and hold them where
they can be drawn on promptly for ag-
ricultural purposes, and yet be within
easy reach If they are required for do
nestle military service? In this way
the skilled farmland is a finished
workman, and if economic considera-
lions are to be needed he should be
used where he can contribute most to
the national welfare"

Make Your
Own Sugar
BY the U. S. Dept. Of Agriculture

By the use of ordinary kitchen
equipment many people are in posi-
ton to make up the average Of 81
pounds of sugar which is the, average
each person in the United States used
last year. A few sugar maple trees,
well-kept colonies of bees, hundred
feet of sugar beets raised in the gar
den, Or a small patch of sweet sOr-
ghum, and surplus apples which might
, go to waste unless made into apple
strip may each be made to contribute
to the sugar supply.
The present limited sugar supply can
be increased if many more families, in
regions where the sugar maple grows,
would each make maple strip or sugar
from ten or more maple trees. Ten
trees, under ordinary conditions, can
be expected to yield about four gal
Ions of strip or thirty pounds of sugar.
Maple sugar making is an art the
pioneer settlers of America learned
from the Indians and for years it has
been home and farm industry. The
process is not so complicated that any
one who has the opportunity need heS1-
tate to try it. Find d sugar maple tree
ten or more inches in diameter; bore
hole three-eights of an inch or. slightly
more in diameter; insert metal spout
or one made by punching the pith from
a section of elder; set bucket under
it that the sap may collect; boil this
down in a kettle or shallow pan on a
kitchen stove to the proper density for
maple strip. If sugar is preferred, boil
it down further until it is quite thick,
taking care that it does not burn, and
let it crystalline.
"Sugar weather" often starts by the
middle of February in the southern
part of the sugar maple region. The
first sap is sweetest. There is no time
to be lost in talking; get ready to
take advantage of the first warm,
sunny days "Old timers" say the out
look is good for a good sugar sea-
son.

How Red Cross Workers Are
Now Knitting Two Socks at
Same Time for Army Boys

Knitting two socks at one time is an
achievement every war knitter would
like to be equal to. Some of the Red
Cross shops are passing the news
around that it can be done. The dis
cOvery was credited to a Sydney, Aus
tralia, workshop. This shop increased
its output from $4,000 pairs of socks
one month to 10000 pairs the next by
knitting twins" Miss Brown, who
came to this country to impart the di-
rections to our Red Cross, gives the
following instructions on knitting twin
socks:
'The purling for the top of the socks
is knit separate. When one is finished
take it off with darning needle on to
a heavy cord. When the other is fin
ished slip the first one inside the sec
ond one, from the top, and with the
knitting needle take up from first one
and then the other, alternating, begin
ming with the first stitch from the
needle and ending with the last stitch
from the one on the cord. Hold the
SONh lONd1u SOuS uAIlll{3 IllC III 81
stitch, which is from the sock that was
on the needle, and knitting the second
stitch from the one that was on the
cord; proceed with the first purl and
then knit, holding the thread over the
first finger for knitting, and soOL you
will acquire rhythm.
when you get to the heels take off
as in any sock. AS you turn your heel
always purl the one next to you and
knit the other. To narrow take first
and third stitch, purl them and slip
the needle out, which leaves one stitch
from the opposite sock, which slip onto
your needle and narrow knitting. There
is no slip and bind in this sock. When
finished slip the needles out and take
up your separate socks and bind off.
In purling never put your thread over
always keep it toward you, as if you
are purling back on your heel"
The teacher said that after knitting
three pairs one would become as eff
cient as in knitting the single sock.

Coal Gas for Motor Fuel.

Probably the first motor car in
America to use coal gas as fuel is a
New York machine that has an by
45-inch steel tank mounted on one
of its running boards, says the Popular
Mechanics Magazine. The cylinder,
when charged to a pressure of about
1000 pounds to the square inch. car
ries sufficient fuel to drive the ma
chine about one hundred and twenty
miles. For automobile propulsion,
compressed gas at so cents thou
sand feet is said to be about p per
cent cheaper than gasoline at 3 cents
a gallon. This comparison is based
On mileage rather than thermal units.'

ENTERTAINING A GUEST

Shortly before the war a German
naval squadron was visiting a Japan
csc port. The admiral and members
of his staff were officially invited to
go over the arsenal. Among other
things they were allowed to see some
of the famous shimose, the Japanese
high explosive. The admiral, like a
good German, made an opportunity to
steal a handful of the powder. He
put it in his trousers pocket and found
on returning to his ship that his best
gala trousers were ruined, as grains
of the powder had stained the gar
ments an ugly yellow.
The precious pinch of powder was
sent by special courier from the Ger
man embassy to Berlin, where it was
analysed and found to be a most inno-
cent composition colored with ground
mustard! The willy japanese, know
ing their guests, had judged it pru-
dent TO substitute this harmless COM
pound for the real shimoSe.-From

About the Sun.

"Sun" is among the words contained
in the latest issued sections of the
Oxford English dictionary. Eleven
closely printed columns are devoted to
it. 1t is quite interesting to find that
the kaiser's famous phrase, place in
the sum-" originated with Pascal, who
used it to illustrate the beginnings Of
tyranny. Yet another well-knowr
phrase. "On which the sun never SETS"
was apparently first used in connection
with the Spanish empire 300 years ago.
It's first application to the British en-
pire was made in the way of joke
by Thackeray in the pages Of Punch.
