The "Flying Fishes Play"
100 Miles From Mandalay

HaEdalay, Burma, Aug. 17.-With
its thousand pagodas, its deserted
palaces and its picturesque ruins, the
city IF Mandalay continues to be a
place Of chief attraction for the Euro
pean or American visitor to Burma.
The palace grounds, surrounded by
4 wall and moat, are about mile and
half square. The buildings have :,
cheap gaudiness about them which
compares in many ways to that of an
American street carnival. Still pre-
served are the throne rooms and the
apartments of the king, the senior
queen and numerous junior queens
Mindon Min, the next to last king of
Eurma, married 81 wives-seeking
Evidently, to discover what the "57
arieties" are like.
From the palace grounds an Amer
can taxi takes the visitor to the foot
of the Mandalay hill. one of the holy
places of Burma Buddhism. Her.
those who are adherents of the Budd
hist religion and are willing to re-
move their footwear may obtain great
merit by climbing the nearly 400 steps
which lead to the summit.
The zayats crest houses) built at
The foot Of the hill are interesting
chiefly on account of the pictures
which appear along the walls. Most
ni these depict supposed incidents in
,he life of Gautama Buddha, and pro-
vide good instances of an inconsist-
ency which is typical of Burmans.
Though Buddha was an Indian, he is
always pictured in Burmese clothes.
And though he lived about 500 years
before the time of Christ, electric
ghts and electric faEs are to be see;,
in the same room with him.
Arakan pagoda, on the other side
Of the city, presents striking ap-
pearance by it's being plastered over
with gold leaf. The image housed here
was stolen and carried away from
Arakan by the Burmans in 1884. 1t
was cast during the reign of a king
who succeeded to the throne of Ara
kan in the year A. D. 146. The old
Eurman kings used to try to please
Ruddha by making war on their
neighbors, carrying &C, as the fruits
Of victory, all the images they could
find.
Mandalay has been dwindling IN
population since it ceased to be the
capital of Burma. People say that
every other man in town is a monk,
and one out in the street early in the
morning would almost believe that
this is true. There are usually sew
eral yellow gowns and black begging
bowls for each block. Although there
are already more than 1000 pagodas
in and about the city, rev ones are
row in process of construc ton.
Many Americans have been con-
fused as the exact location of Manda-
lay by couple of geographical err
rors which occur in Kipling's we'll
known song. 1t could hardly be
where the flying fishes play" when
the sea is over hundred miles dis
tant. And China isn't "just across the
bay" but is just across the mountains
instead. Just across the bay is India.

Lady, I've been talking about for To and behold! a great change has come over the face of events-a shadow on the surface of the waters!
 The Perfectly Good Generous Lady, I'd have you know gave par ty-oh yes, a really rightly, honest to-Eoodness party, not so very long and she grilled and she roasted and she worked, world without end Ameni She bought decorations and things to drink and souvenirs and all sorts of expensive things,
 The party was a great success, be- lieve me
 It cost the Perfectly Good Gen erous Lady a young fortune and all she got back was a pair of crocheted slippers and rheumatism in her left stepper.''
 Furthermore. some enthusiastic and needy guest departed with some per Joined objects which the ''Perfectly Good Generous Lady treasured as her very own.
 The Perfectly Good Generous Lady" learned a lesson.
 She knew then why some kind friend had once offered to take her out to 8 nice, quiet place in the woods and shoot her.
 This Perfectly Good Generous Lady" holding the record as one of the worlds very best little money fingers. now wears with distinction the sobriquet of "Stingy."
 And such a "stingy"-such close "stingy" such tight waddy' -stingy."
 For instance:
 It was her turn to pay for the luncheon check.
 Look she said in amazement.

as well as my bank account. And by the way, what resolutions did you maker"
 Only one" I answered doiefully.
 Name it." she demanded.
 Never to tell risque story to an unappreciative audience I replied foolishly.
 "Goosey," she said disgustedly. But after all. don't you think it is very trying to keep resolutions once you've made them?'
 "Of course I do," answered. That's the reason I don't make any
 Well. I'm trying it out this year. she said giibly. One of the first resolutions l made was to listen to nc appeals for help. I'm fairly beseiged with people begging for this, that and the other. No sooner did l agree with myself to turn deaf ear to all such entreaties when old Uncle Dave, our standby and ever present help in the time of trouble, comes, saying his wife is sick and he needs money, l tried to be the cruel old iceberg and freeze the poor soul out. but I simply couldn't. 1 thought of all that nice little pin money I'd saved on lunches since the first of the year and l saw myself as a mean, dyed-in- the wool old miser and so I relented and gave Uncle Dave the ten. The worst part of it all was I knew I'd have to mak Q this confession to you.''
 Oh don't mind me- I resented, and as for your confessing, dear. I don't mind. l suppose if you'd turn ed the poor. old darkey from your door and his wife had died, you'd have said that it was all my fault. We'll I like that"
 "No,e she smiled quietly. since the

"The Perfectly Good Generous Lady" is one of my 'best-est chums.'
 In fact. she'd be everybody's chum in the wide, wide world if only she had the time.
 She's 'generous to a fault" you've heard the old expression hundred thousand times, and she's so nice and sweet that really it isn't natural or human.
 "rouch" the "Perfectly Good Con erous Lady" for a loan of Spen0~ ing money and she will Immediately brighten and remark upon how lovely the weather is.
 There are many therefore who like 10 discuss the pleasant weather with her.

 stand by your own dear self, you little mutton head" said one of her friends the other day. When you spend your last penny for taxi to take you to the poor house you'll think of us. You're like that you know"
 Naturally" says the "Perfectiy Good Generous Lady blandly. for we'll take that delectable journey to- Eether and you'll be reminding me of how many times you've threatened to take me out to some nice comfort able place in the wood and shoot me, for my own good. I'd be better off perhaps though than stumbling through life flinging my money to the birds and the bow-bows like drunk len sailor setting a 'orribie example of improvident and wasteful extrava- gance."
 All this you understand-this little sPreamble" belongs to the dead past of the Perfectly Good Generous

weather has turned so cold. if doesn't sound very alluring to be taken out to a nice, quiet spot in the woods and neatly but expeditiously shot to death"
 Poor thing,
 The 'Perfectly Good Generous Lady" is having the hardest time imaginable with herself and her econ omies, for it's as difficult for her to change from generosity and kindness as it is to acquire them after one has been close and unheeding.
 WhatI said, however, was this:
 Don't try to do it at once. For instance, please don't cut out pies when you rinvite me to lunch, be- cause there's such a short mince pie season and I want to get all that is coming to me while it lasts
 But, my dear Dolly" she said quickly, you don't need pie and it $ utter folly to spend money on what you do not need. Tell me what you need and I'll gladly get it for you. Now. there is that lovely little solid mahogany table I bought for myself and paid a fabulous price for. Of course, I could have gotten along with a 60-cent folding table, but ] bought the mahogany table.
 Imagine comparing 10 cents worth of pie with a solid mahogany sew ing table that costs sS5,
 "I understand the comparison" l said gently. You wanted the splid mahogany sewing table and you got it. whereas,I want mince pie and don't get it.
 That. my dear" she said sweetiy, was before the first day of January.

1922. when the great reformation started.y
 Even so. my Perfectly Good Gen erous Lady is weakening gradually.
 Yesterday she was quite enthusias- tic about beautiful chocolate cake we saw at tea room at the luncheon hour and the dry, thin, buttered bread. and weak tea didn't especially appeal 10 her.
 Also as we passed wonderfully attractive shop window she soFtened toward a lovely little frock that l said looked exactly like her" and which she promptly went in and tried on."
 Then she saw hat with a paradise feather on it almost as big as a canary bird cage and brilliant with yellow shades and brown and white tints and this she also tried on' and finally purchased, together with a lovely pair of Frenchy little bronze boots that fitted her like a streak.
 So the crisis came.
 The fever again broke out.
 The New Year resolve dissolved. and the money again flowed like champa Ene at WeooinS IeaSt.
 Beware then, oh placid world. when the "Perfectly Good Generous Lady" breaks her resolutions, turns loose her cash and gives up to her naturally generous impulses Banks may trem' ble and financial circles may gasp, for she will fling her savings with wild. savage abandon to the four ends of the earth.
 She's born that way, and New Years resolutions, or no New Years resolutions she's going to spend"
 And why not?
 She has plenty, and to spare!

come to pass, or if it does come, will be ended quickly.
 Events of the past 30 days espec- ially the last seven seem to point to the conclusion that the country is ap- preaching another era of imitation, far less in magnitude than the war period but omparable to it neverthe- less. Now a few analysts are dis turbed by surface indications which they interpret as a too rapid return to prosperity. There appears. how ever. to be but slight basis for the opinion that 1922 will witness an other period of good imitation. Such a movement cannot get under way in month or two.
 Railroad Wages
 In the normal course of industry, an analyst could write without hesi- tation, an accurate prediction of pros perity coming back in full during 1922. The situation, however, is not normal. There are grave industrial problems ahead, first of which, of course. is the coal strike, another is the readiustment of railroad wages which will soon be croweing the first pages of the newspapers. still a third is the readjustment of railroao rates.
 A decision in the rate case may req
  state Commerce commission within the next three weeks. It may be hand ed down within the next ten days. There is, of course. no discounting the decision; but whatever it may be, it's effect upon the country's prosper ity during the coming ten months, will be indellble.
 From the standpoint of finance and credit, the country is in clover. With tt, fhn rec l lf.rrnl lxrn- Al. NN-I eral Reserve banks have increased their holdings of gold by nearly sS00.- 100000. Their reserve ratio the safe ty line of credit has risen from 50 per cent to nearly r per cent The amount of money they have lent on notes including government securi- ties has shrunk from more than 2lh billion to eight hundred million--more than 67 per cent They have retired from circulation nearly billion dol lars in currency.
 Nearly three quarters of a billion dollars in gold has been imported since the period of depression first became pronounced
 All this surplus money is seeking work. Hence the present easy money rates. Hence, also. the recurrence of million-sh9re days on the New York exchange with little disturbance to call money rates. Hence, again, the rise in security levelsa full ten points, in the case of leading shares, within the past year. half of which has oc ., cured within the last thirty days.
 Of all the many. factors entering into the present hopeful situation the rise in value of farm products is the surest token of better times. Indica- tions are that wheat is seeking stifl higher price levels and will attain them within thirty days and that thereafter it will coritinue on those levels or above them for the rest of the year. Other farm products also will continue to rise. M
 And that means increased prosper- ity for about 35.oo0 .o00 persons in the United States. Until that great agri- cultural element is prosperous there can be no real hope for continued prosperity for the rest of America.
