SEVERITY IN THIS PENANCE
Hindu Pilgrims Make Long Journeys
With Most Extraordinary Method
Of locomotion.

An extraordinary Indian peniten-
tial pilgrimage takes place every
year, invariably on Tuesday. usually
in the first half of May. The penance
consists in the Hindu penitent's
measuring his length on the ground
from his home to the temple, often a
distance of many miles.
The penitent throws himself on the
ground at full length. and with pots
herd or stone, makes mark within
reach of his fingers. Upon getting up
he sets his feet on the mark, repeats
the process, continuing to do this, with
alternate rising and prostration, to the
end Of his journey.
The dress worn during the pilgrim
age is exceedingly scanty, as the pill
grimage takes place during the hot
test season of the year. II the journey
is likely to take two or three days.
the penitent may halt at night for
food and rest, in which case he sets
UP some mark to show where he left
the road, and resumes his journey
from that point on the morrow. Only
men are permitted to perform the
penance, but women and children are
allowed to accompany them on foot.
supplying them with food and tanning
them with punkahs made of valm
leaves.
Upon arriving at their goal the peni-
tents present their offerings in money
or kind to the attendant priests, who
utter few words of benedictiOn.
Every few years there are deaths from
exhaustion and exposure during the
pilgrimage, but the enthusiasts are
never deterred.-Detroit News.

Railroads Turned Back
to Their Owners Monday

Monday the U. s. government
handed over to the owners 24O.-
900 miles of railroad and termi-
nails and equipment, valued at
approximately $4,000, 900, 900,
over which its direct authority
had been extended since Decem-
Der, 1917. The properties went
back leaving the government
with deficit Of S715, 500, 900 for
the twenty-six months of opera
ton. The government was OBJ
llged to pay an annual rental of
$917, 600, 900 to corporate own
ers of railway lines, and the gov
ernment bought while in charge
of the lines 100000 freight cars
and l, $50 locomotives, but this
is said to be below normal par
chases for a like period.

clares in statement, among

from the period of unified opera

could not otherwise have been
obtained. Its unihcation prac-
tees have increased the utiliza-
tlon OF the inadequate supply of
equipment so that exceptionally
large transportation service has
been performed in the busy pc
riods of 1919 with minimum
of congestion; it met the un-
precedented coal strike in a
way which private control could
not have done and absorbed a
heavy financial loss on that ac-
count which would have proved
highly disturbing to private con-
troll; it protected the Investment
in railroad properties, whereas
without federal control those in
vestments would have been en-
dangered; and it turns back the
roads to private control func-
tioning effectively with a record
of exceptional performance in
an exceptionally difficult winter,

tion to function still more eff
fectively with normal improve
ment to be expected in weather
