WITH THE NUMBERLESS GODS
Battered and Neglected images of Buddha Give Better Understand
 Ing of the Oriental Nature.

Now and again, in some forgotten byway, the traveller chances on some glimpse into the heart of foreign na- tion that lights up the dark places with a flash of insight. Such glimpse may be had into the heart of Japan by visit to what are known locally as the Numberless Gods. It is difficult to ex- plain how these battered images of Buddha can lead to a better under standing of Oriental character, but it Is safe to say that few men have vis- ited them without coming away feeling that they are little closer to the mys- tery of Japan, says world traveller.
 The Numberless Gods are so known because, according to local tradition, they cannot be counted. They stand by the banks of swift stream flowing onward to Tokyo, and they are old and mosSgrown, forgotten and neglected. If you will try to count them, you will see how the tradition about them ori- ginated. They are so much alike that your count will never be twice the same. True, the irreverent tourist may go down the line tapping each one with his cane and calling off the numbers, but that were a sorry way to treat a picturesque legend.
 They stand in a smiling line, these gods of stone, worn and defaced by the flight of centuries; features softened and blurred by the years, mossgrown and half hidden by grasses, forgotten by their worshippers, smiling, always smiling. It is the peculiar, inscrutable smile of the Buddha, the only god who smiles. Doomed to suffer, according to the Buddhist creed. until all sin has disappeared from earth, he smiles eter- nally in all his images. In these neg lected stones, that would have some thing pathetic about them did they rep resent any other god, the smile seems to speak of supernal knowledge, a wisdom that Is above circumstance and time. The smile of the image in an in- cense clouded temple is haunting and unforgettable thing but the smile of these neglected roadside gods under the open sun goes deeper. It seems to sum up the mystery that lies at the heart of the most mystical creed.

donkey No Longer Bossted.

The monkey was forever blowing about what man has accomplished This descendant of mine" he would say, lis the most enlightened animal on earth" He told of all that man has done, and told it so often that the other animals were sick of listening Finally some of them induced him to go to a theater. After each act he would say to the other animals {: Those people are my descendants and I am very proud of them. None of the balance of you can point with pride to such descendants" At last a man came on the stage alone. He danced on the floor; then he jumped up in the air and danced; he sat down end danced; he got himself in all kinds of shapes; he danced things that no one had ever danced before, and few things that no one would ever dance again. Before the man had finished the monkey got up and left the house, and from that day until this he has never once mentioned his descendants. Claude Callan, in Fort Worth Star Telegram.

Why He Joined Ar Service.

Few men, I am sure, would confess to so strange an immediate cause for Joining the aviation service as that re- lated to me by Drew, as we sat over our coffee and cigarettes, on the eve. ming of our first meeting, writes James N. Hall in the Atlantic. He had come to France, he said, with the intention of joining the Legion Etrangere as an infantryman. But he changed his mind, a few days after his arrival ir Paris, upon meeting Jackson of the American Aviation squadron, who was on leave after a service of six months at the front. It was all because of the manner in which Jackson looked at q Turkish rug. He told him of his ad- ventures in the most matter-of-fact way. No heroics, nothing of that sort. He had not a glimmer of imagination, he said. But he had a way of looking at the floor which was 1rresistible,' which fascinated him with the sense of height He saw towns, villages, q network of trenches, columns of toy troops moving up ribbons of road-all Tn the patterns of Turkish rug. And the next day, he was at the headquar- ters of the Franco-American corps, in the Champs Elysees, making applica- ton for membership.

IN WORLDS GREATEST CHOIR
Organization In Russian Monastery Made Up of Monks Who Are
 Trained Like Opera Singers.

In many departments Russia has proved herself the greatest of all countries. Her dancers are the worlds finest dancers, her novelists are the worlds finest novelists, her Cossacks- ask the AuStrlans-are the worlds finest fighters.
 She also possesses the worlds finest choir, declares writer in London Tit Bits. This is in the cathedral of AL exander Nevski, in Petrograd, and is attached to a convent erected in honor of the patron saint of Russia. It con- sists of about thirty members, all monks, chosen from the best singers Tn all the Russian monasteries. Their voices are amazingly sweet and strong, and every member of the choir can. 1t is said. shatter an ordinary glass into fragments merely by singing into It. so powerful are the vibrations of each voice.
 These monks are trained as rigorous ly as any opera singer. and their whole duty at the monastery is to assist with the music at mass in the morning and vespers in the afternoon. When too old for service they are retired on pen sions.
 Unlike most monks. they are ex- tremely fastidious about their appear ance, and every night put up their hair and whlskers in papers.

The problem of labor for our farms Is looming up as the one great ques- ton, and in many localities is becom- Ing really serious. Even before we were in war it was a matter of con- eern. Now the matter can no longer De lightly set aside. There is no doubt that unless steps are taken, be- lore the entire war draft is run out, to recruit the ranks of farm labor, it Will he a physical impossibility for our farms to meet the demands that VIII be made upon them another sea- son. Many localities report that even now the scarcity of farm labor is ser lousiy crippling operations, and when the draft is completed the situation Will be even more serious. It is hoped that the amended regulations will tend to relieve the situation. From the present outlook, it would seem the part of wisdom that the draft ap- ply to farm labor equally with the army. It would be hard to tell which IS the most important just at this tune. Certain it is that without the farmer our armies will be impotent.

NO FRIENDS OF J. BARLEYcoRN

The saloonkeepers of Washington, D. C., were sorely disappointed, 1t is said, because few of the veterans at tending the Grand Army encampment spent their money for drinks. Of the 10000 marching only one or two were seen under the influence" One of the old soldiers explained 1t thus: "The fellows who could drink 1t or let 1t alone are not here-nearly all of them are in their graves" It Is worthy of note that every one of the 12S members of the post at Hagers- town, Md. Is a total abstainer and a prohibitionist. One of the features of the parade which evoked much cheering from the crowds of onlook- CTS was the West Virginia Water Wagon" which headed the delegation from that state.
