HAILED SON AS Their GOD
Incas welcomed Return Of Llfe-Givina
Rays With Great Festival and
Much Ceremony.

At this time OF the year, In the days
Of the golden Inca empire, "Raymi,"
the great festival OF the sun, was Gel
ebrated. Then the lord Of the day,
who had gone SO far from Peru, re-
traced his steps and came back to
give the land life again, and, to well
come him with splendor, the Incas from
all their lands around went up to Cuz.
co, the city Of the sun. There dwelt
the emperor, surrounded with vast
magnificence, and for this one occa-
sion he became chief priest. The cere-
monies began at dawn, when the en-
peror came forth from his palace fol-
lowed by the Incas, according to their
rank, and then by the Curacas, lords
who held their lands far Off from the
court. These latter were strangely
and superbly dressed in trappings Of
gold and silver. The whole brilliant
procession moved toward the plaza Of
Cuzco. where, with feet barred and eyes
fixed upon the east, all awaited the
coming OF the sun. The moment he
appeared the multitude Frustrated
themselves, and in a frenzy OF adora-
ton reached toward him supplicating
hands, crying to him that he was their
god and father. Then the emperor
taking q glass Of wine in his right
hand invited the god to drink. The
Offering accepted, he and other lords
Of the royal Inca blood drank the holy
wine prepared by virgins consecrated
to the service Of the sun.
Proceeding to the suns own sane
ituary, then, a chosen few worshiped
with secret rites his golden image,
with its rays Of gold and silver
studded with gems. There followed
sacrifices by auguries and great
feast. The fre,-kept burning all the
year by the virgins Of the sun, was
replenished.

How Times chanuel

Something in the movies or on the
stage is disturbing to the ideas OF
those who see 1t. Forthwith they ar
que it should be suppressed.
This is in cheerful disregard Of the
fact that what seems shocking in one
period becomes commonplace in the
next.
There was John Evelyn, English
writer and diarist, founder OF the
Royal academy, who died in 17O6.
What shocked him was women be-
ing on the stage at all. His idea was
that play isn't nice unless the WON
IN characters are played by men.
Many agreed with him, In his pc
Rod. But what would be said now
about a proposal that no women be
permitted on the stage or in the movies

New Windmill idea.

A new French windmill, on the prin-
ciple OF the water turbine, is encased
with a vertical cylinder bladed like a
Venetian blind. The cylinder is sta
tionary, but the blades or Stats guide
the wind from any direction to the
turbine wheel. After acting on the
wheel, the wind escapes from the bot
tom Of the cylinder. The vertical
shaft transmits the power through
succession Of gears adapted to light
or strong wind, and centrifugal reg
ulator controls the speed. The appa-
ratus is designed especially for driy-
ing an electric generator.

SHORTAGE OF MINISTERS

The religious denominations of Juneau are to bel congratulated that they each and all supplied with ministers It is doubtful if this excellent condtonI exists anywhere else in the north and 1t certainly does not throughout the country generally, shown by theI following from am exchange:
 .It is announced that 10000 Protestant pupits will be vacant next year with small supply of ministers on which to draw census of the graduates of theological seminaries reveals but about 16OO young to f all the vacancies There has been general decrease in the candidates for the ministry since 1916 This decrease was felt by the Roman Catholics, too, in the number seeking to enter the priesthood but there has been almost complete recovery there However the Protestant de- nominations can see mo relief in sight
 .Alanv reasons are offered for the reluctance of young men to seek the ministry but suggestion from the liar ward Divinity School doubtless contains the gist of the matter when it says that the decline m the economic status of the minister and the corresponding decline in his social influence are most important contnbutoy causes
 'Too many persons who consider themselves m good standing a coumunicauts appear to regard the minister as sort of mcudicaut yet if he is worth having at all he should be paid salary commensurate with hs posi- ton and 1t should be paid just as promptly as any other employer pays his employees Neither should the salary suffer in comparison with the earnings of men in other professions requiring like equipment and training
 ..Whcu the minister is treated on a strict business basis young men with ycauing to work for the better mcut of their fcIowmen may not shun the profession Ministers have to live and educate their families and lay by something for age Because 1t is so difficult now o accomplish those things the meager salaries paid ou the average it is astonishing rather that anyone with out independent means should enter the ministry

BASEBALL UNINJURED

The great American game of baseball will not be i'm iured by the "base" acts of few professional players whose sense of greed prompted them to prostitute them selyes-but not the game, for they could not do that for financial gau On the whole, the unfortunate mxup will have a good effect and the cherished sport of the people will emerge popular than ever It is too big game to be spoiled by the nprnciped actions of few and those who attempted to besmircb it will realize
 throughout the balance of their lives that they succeeded only in besmirchmg themselves Baseball is as truly American as is Old Glory, and or a group of Bene- diet Aruods can not impair its good reputation and standing with Americans.
