abusive language toward the driver
OF an automobile, the fender of which
had grated Rothatz while he was cut
ting across street corner. Another
soldier interviewed, striking the police
man, while several other soldiers
quickly, formed a circle about him and
began making threats. .r
Bryant succeeded in placing the two
soldiers under arrest, but when he at
tempted to summon the police patrol
wagon, from the patrol box ut the
Chamberlain hotel corner. he was at
tackled by several more soldiers, who
attempted to free the two prisoners.
Took Club Away.
When the officers club had been
torn from his grasp he attempted to
summon help by blowing his police
whistle, but that, too, was knocked
from his hand. He then drew his re-
yolver and fired three shots into the
air, to attract other policemen to the
scene.
Policeman John Dingman, who was
off duty, happened TO hear the shots
from where he was, Il block away, and
hurried to Bryant's aid, arriving on
the scene jpust in time, he says. to see

Dingman turned in to the police
station riot call which quickly
brought Officers Cady, Baker and
Walker in the police patrol and sew
eral members of the military police.
BY that time. however, 5000 people
who had crowded about the corner.
were pushing. showing and striking,
and the handful of officers was no
match for them. Officer Cady was
knocked down and trampled by sever
al rioters, and the situation was be-
coming alarming when one Of the Of

posed. The temple apparently was
octagonal in shape and surrounded by
porch of columns, each carrying a
highly ornate capital.
Engineers are strengthening the
floor of the rotunda SO that 1t can sus-
tain the great weight of the shrine.
Special derricks and other carrying
machines are being erected to move
the stones TO their places in the inte-
rior Of the building.
The Undertaking In Unique.
II have never known a building Of
this character to have been brought
from the East" said Mr.. Warner, who
himself has been an extensive trav-
eller. Hitherto 1t has been deemed
impossible. The nearest approach to
a task of such magnitude was when
DR.. Leithgow brought the tomb OF
Pernab from Egypt and set II up in
the Metropolitan Museum. The mu-
seums Of Berlin have whole frescoed
walls from central Asia. In London
there are the celebrated Elgin friezes
and here and there scattered over
Europe and America are important bits
Of transplanted architecture. But a
complete stone temple Of this charac-
ter cannot be seen outside Of India.
1t is unfortunate that its whole origin
is clothed in mystery and there is not
even a stone inscription to guide us in
the work OF reassembling the various
parts"
Director Warmers only means Of de-
termining the age OF the temple Is the
condition OF The stones and the type of
architecture. Here a discrepancy oc-
ours. The shrine units suggest a
building erected about 800 years ago.
They are remarkably clean cut and
little weather beaten. Southern Indian
climate may have aided in their
preservation; Tor all other marks place
the building in the period when
Dravidian architecture flourished. sub
sequent to the tenth century, with
some of its monuments dating as far
back as the seventh. However. por-
tons of the shrine show more than a
Dravidian ornateness. reflecting influ-
ence of the complicated Chalukyan
architecture of the Dekkan.
Only the ornate creations Of the
French and italian Renaissance can
equal the detailed IL somewhat gro
tesque carving of the friezes, columns
and capitals of this Hindu shrine

of architecture which crop out in the
buildings of various ancient peoples

it is just "our creed,'' a statement of
the qualities a boy has to have to be

In time came also two checks on
the leaders, one devised by the boys,
providing that a leader might be
forced to resign either by request of
three members of the faculty or by
demand of one faculty member and q
majority OF the leaders. But far more
significant was the Limitation imposed
on the leaders by themselves. Very
early they had formed the Leaders
Club" where they met to talk over
the problems and duties implied in the

realization that they had to set a
pattern" they were much troubled.
Endless discussions followed, pune
tuated by such questions as Shouldn't

leader have TO be a little tin saint?"
The Leaders, Requirements.
But the outcome of these debates
was the "Leader-Ask Yourself sheet.
Since they had formulated it, the
leaders accepted its requirements as
final. Each felt that these questions

Just so long as the class had to

the leader, had to live up to the
QUESTIONABLE. That was not easy, for
"Leaders-Ask Yourself runs thus:
l. Do know exactly what 1 want
my class to do each moment when I
am in charge?
2. Is my class organized so that
each boy is responsible for some par
ticular thing in each activity?
8. Do I set pattern for my class?
Am obedient?
Do do my work little better
than 1 am required to DO II?
Do I always play fair?
DO I ever nurse a grudge?
Do l threaten the fellows?
Do help the one who tries and
fails?
Do l keep my mouth shut whom
some one else is speaking?
4. Can my class manage It's own
affairs In an orderly manner without
the help OF some older persoet

Nor does its influence end when the
boy passes on to one Of the city high
schools or goes out into the working

in business "Speyer" stands for man
illness and efficiency.
One year after the school was or
ganized wars clarion sounded. The
boys threw themselves whole heartediy
into every form of activity open TO

sale of thrift stamps. Certainly this
