"Courtship in Burma !s more
open and natural Irritation than it is
in almost any other part of the East
The young man usually manifests his
interest at one of the pagoda feasts
by shy attentions; he then calls in
company with his friends to find
that the young lady with a bevy of
her friends is awaiting him. He

Before the young girl in Burma
makes her debut she must have her
ears pierced for earrings. The holes
are kept open and enlarged by wear
ing in them glass or metal tubes of
increasing size until they are half
an inch in diameter, capable of carry
ing weights similar to the decora-
tions worn by the South Sea Island

manded much larger holes than those
in vogue at the present time, and
many an old Burmese lady uses hers
as holders for her cheroots, some

tice is 100 cubic feet Of cargo space
Now, it happens that most cargo
doesn't require so much room, and
that for some commodities three tons
can be put in each net registered
ton space. For instance cotton takes
much more room than nitTates. A
cargo of the latter has moved thru
the Canal for 81 cents a ton, while
a cargo of lumber might cost dollar

THE present income from the

the Government has to pay at least

BURMA: LAND OF PAGODAs
AND CHEROOTS.

Washington, ID. C.-There is to be
change in the government Of Bur
ma. following the recent reshaping
of the governmental machinery of
India, according to dispatches from
London, where a committee of Par
lament has been considering wheth-
er o constitution shall be granted
and even whether the country should
eventually be severed from the EN-
pire. That there have been changes
in Burma in other than political
fields is brought out in the following
bulletin of the National Geographic
Society, issued from it's washington
D. G. headquarters:
Recently in Burma, the old pagan
order OF things has been passing, and
modern ethical ideas and manners
are gradually seeping into the orient
al mind, and replacing many pictur-
esque and amusing CUSTOMS" says
the bulletin.
Perhaps the most characteristic
Iconcomitant of the Burmese men,
women and children's appearance is

oot.' 1t is said that a mother often
transfers her lighted cigar from her
own mouth to that of the wee child
in her arms; and no lady would start
on a dress parade without taking a
necessary stock of smokes to supply
her while she is out. This cheroot
is more like an over-grown cigarette
than anything else, and is said to
contain but small portion of the
real tobacco leaf.
WOMEN NOT ONLY
SMOKE But CHEW.
Another Burman custom common
to boys, girls, men and women is kun
chewing. The Burman has been said
to SNAKE between chews and chew
between smokes, but to have little
time for anything else. The betel
nut is chopped fine. a red lime paste
is spread on a certain kind of as
tringent leaf and all are jammed in
to the mouth together. Then the
chewing begins. To extract the last
bit of flavor from the combination
the chewer comforts his face while
his cheeks puff out more and more,
until finally discomfort compels him
to start again with q fresh charge

There is no elaborate caste sys-

SILK SHIRT SPENDERS

The Burman is the cleanliest and
dressiest of the races of his country.
but his gaudy silk shirt is no indica-
ton that his pockets will give forth
the merry tinkle OF coin. In his
sparcely populated country one finds
Talaings, Shans, Karens Kachins

dressing would call forth little com
ment if they would only keep their
clothes on.

The 19-year-old serial star, and
heroine in the Invisible Ray is the
Youngest screen actress whose rise
from the unknown depths to fore
most place in filmdom makes a tale
as thrilling as the serial in which she
acts. Born at Pawtucket, Rhode IS
land, she was left an orphan at the
age Of eleven. and placed in the GUS
toby of an aunt. At the age OF twelve
Ruth was sent to st. Mary's Sem1n-
airy and afterward to the ursullne
Academy in New York. r..
From her earliest youth, Ruth Chl-
ford took to athletics, her friends Of
ten remarked in fun that she was
born with, a kick OF modest means,
the girl was never spoiled and soften
ed by pampe,ting and luxury, ana
spent her idle hours in outdoor play
which accounts for the unusual attn
leaic ability she displays so effective
ly in '"The Invisible Ray" .-l.
Ruth Clifford's career in motion
pictures was the result of the purest
accident. While passing the Edison
Studio on Decatur avenue on her way
to and from the Academy, she used to
peep through a hole in'Tthe fence to
catch a glimpse of some Of the scenes.

drama with the brilliant continental
star, -Pola Negri, in the stellar role.
Passion" unfolds a thrilling story
of the rise of a humble little French
milliner to a position where she is
able to domj nate king. She is a
character replete, with strang mix
t,lre of virtues and faults, but above
all, she possesses irresistible w1les
and smiles, such as easily ensnared
men Of the highest rank. But her
great triumphs prove to be her great
undoing in the end and the sequence
