should not feel badly because IN
India 1t rains great deal from June
to October. 1t has been known that
100 inches have fallen there in four
months and in one locality or the
country 500 inches Of rain have
fallen in that time.
He spoke Tuesday before an audi
ence of 900 and he said that he knew
the small audience Of today would
make up in enthusiasm. People won
der why the features of the people
of India are very much like those
in this country. That is because
1000 years ago the folks Of India and
of this country had the same fathers.
They scattered, some came. to the
western part of the world and the
others went to the eastern part Of
the world. People in Boston look
very much like people in Bombay ex-
cept for their color when is diff
ferent.
Nothing new has been noted by Mr..
Hivale in this country, things seem
very much the same, with the ex-
ception of few things. Among the
new things, Mr.. Hivale says he
notices the ''hot dogs" He proceeded
to give long discourse upon hot
dogs" Although he found that he
could like most everything in this
country that he could not learn to
like hot dogs. He said that he had
taken them apart, to see what they
were made of and to find the seed
but that he could not eat them.
In New York he said that he felt
the soil must be more fertile as there
the hot dogs were larger and the
folks told him they were balloons, he
really meant bolognas.
German propaganda in India dur
ing the war was one Of the interest
ing things which the speaker touched
upon. He said that the Sultan Of
Turkey is considered the only living
representative of the Mohammed. In
India there are a great many Mos
lens. Tho German propaganda
spread about why not make the Sui
tan Of Turkey the religious ruler of
the world? Then it was later circu-
lated about that the Kaiser was no
longer Christian but that he was
Moslem and one Of a very high Or
der. The Kaiser went on a pilgrim
age, which is a testimony that one
is very good Moslem.
A great deal of unrest Is being
manifest in India against Great Brit
ain. India wants home rule and they
want number Of other things. Mr..
Hivale eaid that Great Britain would
have trouble II they did not give In
dia what she wanted. The rebellions
were stopped in India during the
five years Of the war. The India
army was large and did much fight
ing for the allies.
The people Of India want compul-
sorry school training. There, about
one boy in 10 and one girl In a hun
dred goes to school. They cannot
know about the news of the coun-
try and the world at large because
they cannot buy a newspaper and
read all about the news.
America is being watched very
closely by India. What America does
in the way CT justice and working
: for the betterment of humanity India
is pretty certain to follow.
When Pres. Wilson declared ma
| tional prohibition for the good Of the
country the ruler of India. made
declaration that his country would
he partially dry. For what was for
the good Of the people of America
would be for the good of the people
of India.
America has good schools and In
ola want good schools All the good
things that America has India also
wants for her people. And now India
is watching America 20 see If she will
live up to the good start that she has
made.
The Century quartet from the cast
Of the "Pinafore," assisted by. Miss
Marjorie Almy at the piano gave a
concert before the speaker Of the af-
ternoon. The members of the quartet
were A. Merkel, G. Dewey, T. Nagel
and E. Mays. 1t certainly proved a
delightful half hour Of music. Might
Witchery" was delightfully."- render
ed. The men possess splendid voices,
of the proper timber and tone, and
the blending of the voices was de-
light to the ear. A character song, A.
Merkel, assisted by the others. was
a clever little thing. "Antie SINNERS
Chicken Dinner" was gem of syn
copation. Song Of the Turnkey" from
Rob Roy" with bass solo by E.
Mays was also very much enjoyed.
Their encore to that was a lullaby
song, G. Dewey taking the principal
part. They closed their program
with I'm Always Chasing Rain
bows" with solo part by T. Nagel. ]
