BUDDHAS A R E.
Faith SYMBOLS
TO JAP ANESE

WASHINGTON ,P-As the Chris
tian world built great cathedrals IN
past centuries for the glory OF It's falth
and continues to build them, SO Japa-
nese Buddhists have built and are
building huge figures of the Buddha.
In the latest of these great figures
ultra modern methods have been en-
ployed. Built of reinforced concrete,
the image at Uyeno, on the outskirts
of Nagoya, described by the National
Geographic society, is go feet high.
This is seven feet higher than the next
largest of the colossal Buddhas, which
is at Nara.
The most famous of the huge images
is the bronze Buddha of Kamakura,
situated about a dozen miles south OF
Yokohama across the little peninsula
that helps enclose Tokyo bay on the
southwest.
Huge as the statue $50 feet high
in a sitting posture-it is faithfully
proportioned. Its features show
beauty and calm serenity that could
hardly be excelled in carefully mod
eled small image The eyes alone are
four feet long. The eyeballs are of
solid gold, and a large jewel-like boss
in the center of the forehead is made
of 3O-pound lump of silver.
The Great Buddha, or the Daibutsu,
as the Japanese call the image, has
sat IN it's present position since 1852.
For nearly seven centuries it has looked
out upon more than one great cataS-
trophe. On several occasions It has
even been endangered. 1T was origi-
nally enclosed by great temple
structure, which was destroyed by tidal
waves in 1869 and again two years
after Columbus discovered America.
Since then the titantic figure has sat
unsheltered, towering against back
ground of green trees and hills.
The Kamakura Daibutsu, like most
bronze statues, consists only of a shell
of metal and is hollow inside. A pas
sageway leads to the interior, from
which one may climb on ladders to the
level of the shoulders and peep out
through tiny windows.
Only in Japan can bronze statue
to compare with the gigantic image be
found today at Kamakura. The
Daibutsu at Nara, near Osaka is So
feet high. This was the original colos-
sal bronze Of Buddha Of the islands,

.TUNNEY LOOKS
IMPRESSIVE | n
SATURDAY Mill

LAKE VILLA, ILL.,, Sept. 10, Up
The peace and quiet that has reign
ed through Gene Tunneys training
camp for the past three days due
to the injury to his right eye, was
broken today when the worlds
heavyweight champion resumed
training, boxing five rounds with
two sparring mates.
The champions Judgment of dis
tance, timing of punches and gen.
eral execution, was almost perfect.
He missed occasionally with q right
cross, but his left was working
perfectly and his defensive work was
almost impregnable.
The lay-off in training had no
effect on the champion, because he
was more impressive today than he
was in either of his two previous
work. outs.
Gene affected white patch over
his damaged right eye when he
climbed into the ring, and it was
still there when he left, despite
the efforts of his sparring partners
to knock it off. He was so much
pleased with his condition that he
decided to work again torH5rrow
with the public admitted for the
usual $1A0.
The, champion boxed two fast
rounds with Jackie Williams, Chi
cago heavyweight, and three with
Billy Vidabek. Williams, boxing for
the first time with Tunney, proved
a very good sparring partner. He
stepped right in and traded wal
lops with Gene in the first round,
but Gene finally got the range and
just before the round closed con-
nected with a straight left to the
jaw, following it with right cross
that sent Jackie down to one knee.
Before beginning his boxing, Tun-
ney worked four rounds with the
pucTing bags, two on the light and
similar number on the heavy swing
ing target.
The heat which Tunney encoun-
tered here after his arrival from
Speculator, N Y, has enabled him
to reduce weight easier than he
expected. AS result he does not

pounds when he meets Dempsey.

cast in TAO A. D. Unlike the Kama
kura statue, it is still sheltered by a
building.
The Daibutsu is one of the few re-
manning symbols of the past greatness
of Kalflakura, now a modest fishing
village and watering place, but once
the real capital of Japan. There in
1892 Minamoto Yoritomo seized the
governmental power and set himself
up as the first shogun, leaving the
emperor mere puppet at Kyoto. The
new capital grew rapidly and before
many years had a population as great
as Cleveland or st. Louis. 1t was
burned by an invading army in 1888,
but lately partly restored. After 1455,
however, when it lost even minor gov
ernment institutions, it declined rap
idly.

COOLIDGE EMPHASIZES
VALUE OF EDUCATION

BROOKINGS, S. D., Sept 10, H0
Greater emphasis by educational
institutions in the development OF
character was urged by President
Coolidge in speaking here today at
the dedication of the Lincoln Mem
orial Library Of the South Dakota
state college.
unless our halls of learning are
real temples" he declared, (which
are to be approached by our youth
IN an attitude of reverence, conse-
Grated by worship of the truth, they
will all end in deluslon.
"Our colleges must teach not only
science but character. Our insTi-
tutions of learning must be. dedl-
Gated to a higher purpose. The lie
Of our nation must rise to higher
realm"
Stopping here on his journey
from this great agricultural region
which he has made his residence for
three months, the precedent gave
another word of praise to South
Dakota but he maintained his sill
ence on the controversial farm
problem.
With him on the speakers platform
at the outdoor exercises were Nor
beck and McAIaster of South Da-
kota, and the congressional dele
CATION of the state, all leaders in
the fight for the McNary-Haugen
farm bill, which Mr.. Coolidge We
toed.
They bade u,him farewell at the
station as the special train headed
eastward and thanked him heartily
for his visit here but as on all
previous occasions throughout the
summer, their discussions touched IN
no way on their differences over
agricultural legislation.
Mr. Coolidge addressed a large
and attentive audience which stood
under an overcast sky on the camp
us grounds. When he had conclud-
ed, Charles w. Pugsley of the col
lege, conferred on the president the
degree of doctor of science on be-
half of the school.
The degree was given, Mr.. Pugs-
ley said, "as Slight recognition
of appreciation of your services to
the nation and to the state college
on this momentous occasion"
The president and Mrs. Coolidge
laid a memorial stone in the out
door theatre on the campus which
is to be known as Coolidge Sylvan
Theatre.
Stressing the necessity for spiritu-
al development in education in his
address, Mr.. Coolidge also euloglzed
Abraham Lincoln, who, he recalled
signed the bill authorizing the grant
of land for establishment OF col
leges of agriculture in the various
states
"I cannot conceive that the OBJ
iect of Abraham Lincoln was mere
ly to instruct men how to raise
more corn, to feed more hogs, to
get more money, to buy more corn
and so on, in the expanding circle
as the story goes. OF course ne
wanted to teach men how to raise
more corn but his main object must
have been to raise better men.
"There is something more in
learning and something more in
life than a mere knowledge of sci
ence, a mere acquisition Of wealth
a mere striving for place and hon
or. Our colleges will fail in their
duty to their students unless they
are able to inspire them with a
broader understanding of the spirit
ual meaning of science, of literature
and of the arts.
1--WE must maintain a stronger
firmer grasp on the principle de-
clared in the psalms Of David and
re-echoed in the proverbs Of his
son, Solomon, that the fear ofs the
Lord is the beginning of know.

 SUMMERS WORK
WORK ON POWER HOUSE TO BE- GIN IN TWO WEEKS-POWER
 LINE WORK NEXT

Construction work on the Fair
 banks Exploration company's power house, which is being built on the company's townsite on Garden Island, will be resumed in about two weeks, says the Fairbanks News Miner. Work on the building was halted last fall while soil tests were taken and the re- suits sent to the home office. Re- yised drawings for the plant are now en route to Fairbanks and a crew of men will be put to work as soon as the plans are received, according to an nouncement made by Crosby Keen, manager of the company.
 The building site has been enclosed and is now being heated in prepara- tion for resumption of construction.
 By the end of the present year the Fairbanks Exploration company will have completed virtually all of it's construction program preliminary to dredging. With the exception of the Scrafford tunnel, every unit of the program, including the Chatanika ditch, power house and transmission line as we'll as several less important projects, is expected to be finished by January, 1928.
 Int power house alone will cost ap- proximately s1,50O,0O0. Three hun during the winter months and this number will be increased to 1000 this summer. A warning is sounded by the company, however, that there are at present enough men in the Fair banks district to meet the demand for laborers It is said there is little likelihood that men coming here for work could be placed.
 The ditch tapping the waters of Faith and McManus creeks, which unite to form the Chatanika river, will be ready to carry water by next fall. Sixty per cent of the ditch was fin ished this year. It will be S5 miles long, including six miles of siphons. Siphon pipe is being hauled now and assembling of pipe has already been started at Crooked creek Plans for the dam which will impound the waters at the intake of the ditch have not yet been received but are ex- ted to arrive here in time to permit construction during the com ing season. Three diesel shovels and 1 three steam shovels will be used on the ditch. One of these, a new diesel, will arrive here on the next freight train.
 About one-third of the Scrafford tun- nel is now completed. In the event l that solid rock is encountered in the spring work will be suspended until fall. If partially thawed ground is met there will be no halt.
 The transmission line to carry cur rent for the electrically operated dredges will be erected this summer. to step down the current will be built at Goldstream and Cleary.
 A permanent machine shop is to be built on the company's townsite this year.
