GREATER THAN THE SPHINX
Statue of Buddha, In Western China,
Is Truly One of the MarveIs
of the World.

For many years 1T has been known
that about fifty miles from Jah-ding,
in western China, there is very large
and remarkable statue of Buddha, but
1t was not until very few years ago
that it was ever described by an occi-
dental.
Or. Sprague, an authority on things
Chinese, visited it, At the end of two
days travel he reached the image and
found it to be a colossus in size, al
though not so large as rumor had made
1t out. The upper half of the hillside
consists of a sandstone cliff and in this
niche fifty feet broad has been cut
leaving central core of stone that is
carved in the shape of u figure seated
in European style, not cross-legged, as
Buddha is so often represented. The
traveller found the height of the image
to be not less than one hundred feet.
A series of five tiled roofs, descend
ing like flight of steps, built in front
OF the image, protects 1t from the
weather, so that only the face can
be seen from without.
w llcI tlic CAME MllIllIl SlSuL
of the great Buddha he paused and
rested from his journey at point near
one of the gates to the vailed city that
lies in the valley below. AS his eyes
turned to the great face, which has
been gilded until it shines like metal,
as the immense size and perfect
preservation of the idol made their i'm
preston, the thought came to him that
"this is more marvellous than many of
the worlds boosted wonders"
He thought of the colossi at Thebes
and the Sphinx. Scared AID ruined
and defaced by the hand of man and
the effects of time, they are little bet
ter than humps of battered rock. But
far in the west of China sits this old
Buddha. unnoticed and almost I'M
known, yet greater in size than the
Egyptian colossi, with his proportions
preserved intact, with temples about
and below him, and with the priests
in attendance to keep the incense
burning at his feet. There he sits,
grimly gazing out over the tiled roofs
of the city that lies before him.

KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS
REDUCE AGE LIMIT

program and pollcy OF expansion
by which it is proposed to carry
the principles of the order into new
fields Of Pythian endeavor, the
knights of Pythias at the recent
biennial convention of its Supreme
Lodge at Minneapolis adopted ar
amendment to its organic law re-
duclng the minimum age limit OF
memb rship in the order from 81
to Is years, the effect of which
will be to open the door of frater-
nal hope to thousands of youths in
| the land whose hearts have felt the
touch of human sympathy and who
long to enlist under the banner of
brotherhood achievement.
Since the order was founded,
membership has been restricted to
white male persons not less than
81 years of age and under so, ex-
cept that persons over so might be
accepted as members by dispensa-
tions. But out of the great World
War many lessons came of a nature
calculated to change the old order
of things, not the least of which
was the idea born of the tremen-
dous struggle and was participated
in by the best blood of the nations
young manhood that youths of IS,
IS and 20 years of age are fully
capable Of meeting responsibilities
and discharging life's obligations
with a fidelity equal to those Of
few years their senior. The alac-
rity with which the younger boys
Of the nation sprang to arms at
the call of country in defense Of its
honor and for the preservation of
its institutions affords incontro-
vertible proof that one does not
necessarily have to be Of legal age
in order to be of real service in
times of stress and need.
Inspired by thoughts Of service
performed and sacrifices made by
the boys of the land and being
deeply sensible to the conviction
that if a boy Of 18 years is man
enough, strong enough and patriotic
enough to serve his country in
time Of war, he is competent ply
sically, mentally and Temperament
tally to participate in the settle
ment Of the problems of peace that
came to us as heritage of the war
in which he fought.
The Knights Of Pythias in COM
mon with other fraternal organiza-
tions are not unmindful of the OBJ
legations the duties of the hour inn
pose. 1t proposes to perform its
full share in the great work of re-
construction and rehabilitation,
that civilization may speedily re-
cover from the shock to which it
was subjected and that the bless
ings Of peace, softened by senti-
ments of fraternal love may find
permanent abiding place in the
hearts of men and in this magnifi-
cent endeavor it has invited boys
and men Of Is years and over to
enlist under the tricolored banner
of Pythian Knighthood in the
movement designed to Danish dis
content and discord and make the
world brighter and happier.

Zoe and
- Her Problems

Zoe's heart sank within her. For
the first timein her life her mother
had failed her. The drastic measures
she had advised could not be consid-
cred. Tell Allen she had lied to him?
She never could do it; never, and
yet mother had said it was the only
way.
Always before there had been a
reconciliation. Allen had ALWAYS re-
sponded to her better mood when
she had repented.
Gould it be that Allen would
not overlook and forget her offense
as he had always done before? Had
she gone beyond the limit of his
endurance9" This was the question
which she asked herself over and
over as the days passed without
change in his demeanor toward her.
She tried to overcome the air of
depression which pervaded the
home; tried to be bright and CHEEKY,
to forget herself and give the best
of herself to her family, but her eff
forts were but always successful for
she found it impossible with her
temperament to assume happiness
which she did not feel.
The vacation drew near its close,
Max and Clemantine were to attend
high school in the village and it was
arranged that Max should drive the
car to and fro as long as the roads
We're good. A sewing woman was
engaged to come to the house and
renovate and add to their wardrobe.
Clemantine begged to be allowed to
assist her and Zoe's added duties
gave her no time for reflection, AL
len no longer sought her for COM
panionship but rather Stunned her,
and her wakeful night hours were
given to vain regret.
Clemantine was deft with needle
and as she showed excellent taste
IN dress the duties planning and
overseeing the work in the sewing
room were left largely to her. The
little girl loved the work and was
greatly pleased with the arrange
ment.
When the schools had begun and
Zoe had only baby Constance with
her thru the day, for Allen stunned
the house, never coming in except
to eat and sleep, the loneliness be-
came almost unbearable. She had
never realized how much she had
depended upon Allen. Sometimes
when she had felt particularly en-
ergetlc she had accused him of be
ing llstless and indolent, but she
now knew that in spite of his calm
exterior she had relied on him and
trusted him, for his influence had
always been elevating.
She longed inexpres- IDLY for re-
turn of his old time solicitude and
affection but strange to say she not
yet considered following her moth
er's advice.
Three weeks of school had passed
when late one night the telephone
rang out sharply. With feeling of
alarm Zoe sprang up and began to
dress while Allen went to answer the
call. She did not remember that
they had ever had midnight call
before except once when the child
of a neighbor had been taken i'll
and the distracted mother had sent
for her.
She tried to listen when Allen
talked then lest she should hear
something alarming she turned deaf
ears to the sound and almost in a
panic continued to dress.
Allen appeard at the door of the
room.
"Who was it? she asked. Allen
was always slow of speech and did
not answer Immediately.
"Who was it and what did they
want?" Her voice was sharp from
anxiety.
"Your mother is sick and wants

Hundreds of suits and coats, our entire stock, reduced for

the fact that this is a reduction that means something. The
