RAILROADS AND POSTAL SERVICE

George L. Record l. not likely to make much of an i'm
preston on the railroad employees when, in advocating gov
eminent ownership of railroads, he declares that the rail
roads should be put on the same basis as the postal service.
The letter carriers and postal clerks are about the poorest
paid lot of men in the country today. All through the war
when the railroad employees were enjoying the highest pay,
The postal employees were struggling along the same old
wage and periodically sticking to the job in spite of the
greater inducements elsewhere. For the government to
fake over the railroads would mean that railroad unions, in
cluding the ebig four brotherhoods, could no longer be
recognized and much of the advantages now enjoyed would
be lost. Advocating government ownership of railroads
may sound fine to some and win a few votes, but the railroad
man will never fall for any change that means putting the
operation of the railroads on the same plane with the postal
service.

he wrote to congress-: "A character
to lose. an estate to forfeit, the in
est;mable blessing of liberty at
stake. and a life devoted must be
my excuse"
Before the holidays the Great
American was ready to strike a blow
for liberty and for his own vindi-
cation. Crossing Delaware Deem
her %, in spite of pitchy darkness
and grinding ice. he marched his
army nine miles through a sleeting
storm to Trenton where he surprised
tho Hessians. Almost a thousand
prisoners were captured and taken
to the other side of the river. and
then Washington crossed again TO
win another victory at Princeton.
The entire situation was thus re-
versed. Triumph had succeeded dis
aster. The wretched retreat was
forgotten or considered only the prs
liminary to the startling and brill
liant victories, which commanded
the respect of England and all Eu-
rope and renewed the confidence
of Americans in their leader.
For a year and a half afterward
the Colonials met with almost con-
slant reverses and misfortunes, out
the genius that led Washington to
his master stroke in crossing the
Delaware was never forgotten and
it's moral effect was never lost.

The first three events OF the heXath-

were run OFF on Monday night and the
results We're encouraging. Last years
score for each event was bettered con-
siderably.
II the men turn in as comparatively
good scores next Monday night in
the running high jump. the fence
vault and the eight-potato race. there
Will be every reason TO believe that
the local association should place
among the first ten contestants. Last
year It ranked thirteenth.y
Joe Vorous is high scorer FOR the
first three events with a total Of 1874
points. Carl Slocomb is a close sec
ond with 191 and Barney Goldstein,

INDIA A LAND Of
STRANGE GODS
There Are Said to be Upwards
of 33O,oOo,ooo in the Coun-
try All Told.

India Is a land OF strange gods,
some Of them very strange indeed.
One encounters them all over the
country. but It is only in the holy
cities that their presence in force IS
felt
OF course, the grotesque shapes Of
the most popular gods are soon IA
miliar, for their underlying outlines
are painted on the front doors Of
houses or daubed on any spare wall.
There IS, for instance. Ganesh. god
OF plenty, god Of mIrth. His char
acteristics are a monstrousIy develop
ed stomach and an elephants
trunk, which does undoubtedly give
him a jovial appearance. As he is
also the god Of learning. most In
dian books contain a little dedication
to him on the hyleaf.
No less familiar IS Hunooman, god
Of the monkeys, who has risen from
the role Of a holy monkey TO being
the patron OF settled home life. No
city Of any pretensions IS complete
without a temple in his honor.
But the two supreme gods are
Vishnu the Preserver and silva the
Destroyer. VishRu is said TO have
come down on earth nine times. He
has had many-sided past. having
taken the forms Of a fish. q tortoise,
a bear and a lion. thereby increasing
the popular regard for thesa ami
mails. But he is most widely known
in his human shape of krishna. As
such he had countless wives and
sons-running into hundreds Of thous-
ands-and his life was a queer mix
ture OF feats Of strength and of love
There are said 20 be 100000, 900 gods
in the Hindu pantheon. The whole
land is maze Of strange gods, vary
ing from those that detest the least
violence to those that are still sup
posed TO be content with nothing
/ less than human sacrifice.

profits from shrines are enormous
