woman came up with a very stern ex-
preston on her face and said: II am
just going to tell you this. I had to
give my boy. He was drafted and I
had no choice. But I won't give up
my food for anybody" 1t sounded as
If her food was of more value to her
than her boy. "But won't you please
come to the meeting and hear what l

the meeting she came to me and said

ChiIdren's Savings.

More than 10000 children under six
teen years Of age have savings &C
counts in the Los Angeles banks. They
have more than 100000 on deposit,
or an average Of something over $25
each. One thirteen-year-old youngster
is credited with heading the list. He
has nearly $1,000 on deposit, from a
beginning made with so cents when
he was even years old. =
Many of the Los Angeles banks make
special provisions for the savings &C
counts of children and in addition tt
accepting savings accounts, teach les
sons Of thrift in their advertising mat
ter. They also lend encouragement
to thrift propaganda in the publi'
schools and children's organizations.

This fall the farmer is not exper.
fencing the fluctuating of whe at
that in falls past have been
look ed for when the new crop came
onto the market. This is n of the
results that follow of the government
control of the marketing of the crop.
Heretofore the farmer who was fore
ed to sell was exploited by those
who operated the market, later to
find that the normal market condition
should have Melted them any where
from a quarter to half a dollar more
than it had done for the crop. The
present control is something that
gives the farmer a fairer show down
than he has ever had before.

"You know the story Of Carlyle and

"Carlyle had built a sound-proof
ROOF for himself on the top of his

Craigenputtock the room was shown
proudly by Carlyle, and the visitor
gave a cackling laugh and said:

BOMBAYGREATC|TY
Beautiful Metropolis Owes Much
to the ParsiS.
Unthinkable Towers Of Silence Still
Maintained in Heart Of Most Fash.
ionable Residential District
Population Now Million.

Bombay now has nearly 100000 in
habitants. At the beginning of the
nineteenth century it already had 2O0,-
900 and early in the twentieth century
the census takers counted 959,537
souls, Eleanor Franklin Egan writes in
the Saturday Evening Post. Nearly
100000 of these are Hindus and $780,
600 are MohammeGans, while less than
10000 are Christians, counting both
pure European and mixed blood.
There are about 10000 Parsis, and
the Parsis are the most interesting and
important element in the community.
It is to British initiative and example
and to Parsi appreciation, intelligence
and generosity that Bombay owes the
fact Of her present existence as one OF
the most beautiful cities in the world.
Yet the Parsis still maintain the un-
thinkable towers Of silence in the
heart and center of Bombay'S most
fashionable residential district; the
towers of silence, where the Parsi dead
are disposed of by the forever hover
ing horrible flocks Of kites, which on
occasion grow gorged and careless and
drop human flesh and little bones in
the Towering fragrant gardens of the
| great on Malabar hill. But what would
| YOU? The towers Of silence are UNI
| thinkable only to the Christian mind.
To the mind of the Parsi all other
methods of disposing Of the dead are
unthinkable.
The Parsis are sometimes carelessly
referred to as Persian Jews or are
grouped with Persian Jews, Of whom
there are a good many in Bombay. But
the faith of the Parsis is not the Jew
ish faith. They are Zoroastrians-
worshipers of the sun and fire as the
truest manifestations of the Almighty
and they came down from Persia in
to India about the middle Of the sew
enth century, when they began to be
grossly prosecuted by the Mohamme-
dan of the Sassanian en-
pire.
But they were prosecuted always by
the Mohammedan conquerors of India
and by the Hindus, until the happy
day arrived for all religions when
British power began to be predominant
in India. But Bombay was purely
British, long before the. rest Of Ind
was anything but a happy hunting
ground for English merchants, and the
Parsis along with other mfstreated ele
ments in the population focked to the
sure shelter Of the British flag. There
are only about 100000 Parsis in al
India today and 10000 of them belong
to the Bombay Presidency or province
and at least 10000 of these live in thu
city of Bombay.
. Many of them are gentlemen of thu
finest type and they are distinguish
able by their long black coats and tn
curious stiff black miterlike hats the,
, wear. Their homes are the most pre-
/ tentious in the city-palaces set along
!. side British palaces in the most fash
J, ionable districts; and they control
tremendous percentage of the city
commerce and trade.

To the Editor Of The Star:
n order that the food administra-
ton may control prices some method
other than mere stating OF 1000
prfces to be permitted Is necessary.
Il seems quite probable that the only
method Of effectively limiting the
prices is method wherein the power
is given to the people who buy. fne
food administration has endeavored
to give them that power In publishing
the fair price list. 1t is. therefore.
