A safe, sure method Of treating

Vast numbers Of mothers here
have found that it brings the same

while out playing on a drizzly day.

was high. BY noon congestion was

TOPICS or stupas built to preserve the
relics of holy men.
Later the Hindus carved temples
out of the solid natural rock, as at
Karli CTS B. CO and Ellore (760 A.
d., and chiselled the surface in
such detail that one would almost
class these works as statuary.
Too often the carving is excessive
and bizarre; one temple appropri-
ately gets its name from the super
abundant monkeys with which it is
adorned.
Better taste came with Moham-
medians, who brought with them
that patience for delicate detail
which Europeans may sample at the
Alhambra.
The Saracenic style in India has
left us splendid mosques and tombs;
at Agra, for example, the tomb Of
Etmah Dowleh-with a facade which
is marvel of embroidery in stone;
and the pearl Mosque" so-called
because built of white marble I'M
stained except by Koran inscriptions
inlaid with precious gems.
Of the Mogul architects how shall
one speak who has has not seen
their work? We are told of the
beauty of Ahmed'S tomb at All
medabad, and of Sheik- Selim's at
Fattehpur; of the palaces of the
Moguls at Delhi, whose mosaics are
rated as the finest ever made; Of
the Diwan-i-'Am, or Hall of Public
Audience, with its graceful colon
nades; above all of the Tai Mahal
Chat is Grown Of all PalacesD 1,
which is called by many architects
the most beautiful building in the
world.
This last and greatest glory Of the
Moguls was built at Agra IN 1929 by
order of Shah Jehan to commemo-
rate wife who died in presenting
him with her fourteenth child.
Jehan brought together, for the
tasks of direction and design, a
Persian, Ustad lisa; an Italian, Ger
onimo Verroneo, and Frenchman,
Austin de Bordeaux.
Judging from other works by the
same hand in India, it is particu-
larly the last name that should be
enshrined in the memory of those
who honor artists more than kings.
Perhaps the west will outlive its
imperialistic fever, or burn itself out
in fratricidal war, OF be left behind
as other lands alchemize their soils
metals into gold; and India, which
had sages and saints when Europe
was waste, may be left again TO
seek truth and goodness without los
ing manhood and freedom.
Bullies die young, soon weeded out
by their own violence; and it may
be so with States.
Not today, despite that other
Buddha, Mahatma Gandhi, can In
dia shake the lion off; but the time
will come when she will be strong
again. and the mighty will be put
down from their seats.
1t would be in the characteristic
hunor of history if the patient Hin
du should be writing wisdom and
building beauty when the nations
that now grind their heels upon his
face are left ruined and desolte with
strife.

MODERN INDIA

RI HE weavers and embroiderers
are men, for the women are
- too low in status to enjoy ac-
cess even to the industrial arts. IN
til 1927 the girls were married of
by their parents at an early age
sometimes years before they were
sent to their husbands. If, mean
while, their unseen spouSes died
they had to accept a widowed chas-
tity to the end.
For though the English abolished
the suffice in 1929, the Hindus make
an outcast of the woman who con-
sents to live while her husband is in
the grave. No one would think of
marrying her.
1t is one of a thousand supersti-
tons Cor intuitions) of the Hindu
that a wife is always responsible for
her husbands death.
While he lives she is his faithful
slave, for adultery is not as popular
in India as it is in prosperous
countries.
There are courtesans in India as
everywhere, but, strange to say, it is
in the temples that the Nautch girls
do their most voluptuous dancing
and offer themselves promiscuously
to men.
Education is primitive; anc
though one sees students living lives
of service and poverty for the priv
ilege Of learning the Brahman's lore
ninety per cent of the men and
ninety-five per cent of the women
are illiterate.
Perhaps reading is a superfuous
accomplishment which in our days
of million voiced propaganda has
become an impeachment to the acqui-
sition of truth, but its rarity in India
leaves a very smart clientele for
Hindus who would write great liter
allure.
Since Kalidasa composed his plays
far back in the third century, and
Amir Khusrau, the Moslem poet,
sang in the thirteenth, India has
given no name to the world but that
of Rabindranath Tagore; and it is
not Hindus who read Tagore.

Walb said, with emphasis, that he
"knew DR.. Shumaker's efforts

'You know what this Anti-Saloon
League is, don't you?" asked Bing-
ham.
"Why, yes" Walb replied slowly,
'it's some folks, with DR.. Shumaker
at the head of it,"
Informed by Bingham as to the
objects Of the organization, Walb
drawled: eyes, it's some sort OF
arrangement"
Minister Takes Stand
The Rev. G. F. Hubbartt, pas
tor of the M. E. Church at Au-
burn for the last two and half
wears, and for five years pastor Of
Walb's church, at La Grange, fol-
lowed the Republican chairman to
the stand.
FIe said that Shumaker addressed
his congregation in September, 1897,
but made no reference in the serv-
ice to his case.
Also, he denied Shumaker had
asked him to write a letter to Walb
asking him to use his influence and
that of the Republican party in
Shumaker's behalf. The letter was
offered as a State exhibit, but on
objection by the defense it was not
admitted.
Dispositions Admitted
Dispositions of Henry Lane Will
son, former United State Ambassa-
dor to Mexico, and Senator James
E. Watson we're admitted as evil
dence, on motion of Attorney Gen
eral Gilliom.
Attorney Bingham, defense coun-
sci; objected on the ground that if
the Shumaker case was a criminal
trial, Wilson and Watson should
have been in court. The court
overruled the objection, with JUS
tice Martin dissenting.
Attorneys for Shumaker contend
that Shumaker twice had been
jeopardized for the same offense
and that the contempt penalty as
sessed by the court violated the
United States Constitution.
In event the court sustains the
contention Of James Bingham, ST.,
Shumaker's attorney, that Shu-
maker was member Of the press
when he made his report to the
league, the case will be carried di-
rect to the United States Supreme
Court.
This is possible because only the
Supreme Court can determine
whether the United States Consti-
tuition has been violated in such in
stance, it was stated.

work old-fashioned hours for old

The old handicrafts are disap-
pearing as the inevitable factory ad-

rugs and ivory and wood are dying
out, and their skill is passing with
them.
At Benares handmade silks, WOW

in small quantity and high quality,

the weavers and embroiderers are
paid but a few pennies a day.
