QU|ZZED

Recorder of Deeds Arthur g. Froe
was called before a subcommittee OF
the House District COMMITTEES today
to explain why he has not adopted
recommendation for the admins
'tration Of his office by the Bureau OF
Efficiency.
DIR. George C. Havenner, investi-
gator for the Efficiency Bureau, tes-
titled before the committee recently
that Froe had not completely adopted
q single one of the score Of recon.
nendatIons made to him by the eff.
cheney experts. He said these recom-
rnendatfons. IL adopted, would save
the District s124 900 year.
Froe told the committee today
that he had complied with all BUT
four OF the recommendation The
committee went over them, one by
one. and in many cases Havenner
admitted that the recommendations
had been complied with.
Members of the committee criti-
cised F'roe for. not accepting the
bureaus recommended ton TO num-
her the deeds serially BY year in

nounce Christianity for the Hindoo
faith.
The American girl had been TIA
tored in the rites OF conversion, but
she showed the strain under which
priestly factions fought over the
Hindooism.
Lights Sacred Fire
A priest inscribed the convert
brow with sacred mark after
which she lighted the ceremonial
fire with splinters from u sacred
Dough.
Afterward Miss Miller bathed in
the sacred waters Of the Godevari.
The red "Kumkuma, which the
priest marked upon her forehead
admitted her To the holy ranks OF
Indian womanhood."
Miss Miller took a sacred oath
renouncing christianity and pledg-
ing herself to HindOOism for the
remainder of her life.
The ceremonies occupied an hour
and a half and were performed
semi privately in the view OF Of
ficiatinG priests and a few priVIl-
tpsBd IllCIuulu& an rms
fish woman who afterward described
Miss MIXERS appearance as very
sad"
The final ceremonies were put
over until later today.
Six years ago there was no recoS-
nized conversion to the Hindoo
faith, but. owing to the Moplan
riots OF 1921 and 1922, in which
thousands of TIindoos in India we've
forcibIy converted to Islam, the
pride of the Orthodox Hindoc
priests gave way to the exigencie<
of the times. With the consent CT
the high priests throughout INDIA.

was settled upon and definite
ritual fixed. 1t IL called the cere-
monial of sacrifice for the erratic,
of ''Vratya-EIomaV idhi" as ex-
planned in the ancient Vedic scrip
lures.
The first American girl to be CON
verted to the Hindoo faith subse-
quently married DIR. Ketgar. Ph.D.,
of Poona.
1t was necessary for Miss Miller
to go through "purificat ton cere-
mony" before the rites of CONVEX.
sion began. She was compelled to
live on fruit diet for three days.
Part of the ceremony consisted
of tasting the sacred food. a mix.
ture of milk. curds. clarified butter.
honey and sugar. This was called
the ''pancha- gavya."
A Hindoo name was selected for
the convert by the priests after the
ceremony of writing her name with
a diamond in grains of rice laid
flat upon a golden platter.
The Hindoo marriage ceremony,
which will follow later. Is unusually
impressive.

lie told the senate Interstate
Commerce Committee that had the
union been willing to arbltarate on
an economic and competitive wage
scale, the operators today would
be mining coal with union workers.
Since 1920, he said, the Ohio coal
business has suffered rapid fall
ing of and almost complete col
lapse, and as d consequence miners
and others dependent on the coal
mining industry are out Of employ
ment and there ie much distress
and suffering in the homes and
families of the workers-the capital
invested in the business is being
wiped out. and the industry is In
very depI0rable condition. Z
Gives Two Remedies
Robbins offered two remedies to
stabilize the industry:
j. Consolidation OF operating com.
panles to control production.
2. Creation of cooperative market

talk of "companionate marriage"
If there is one thing in this turbu-

and sacred above hundreds of others
that are given more sensible considera-
ton, it is the union of man and woman
in the life bond of companionship and
interest the world knows as marriage,
for from it proceeds poSterity, which
means, in plain language, the men and

and with that thought IS inevitably as
ISOLATED the character of those people,
their virtues that shall bring happiness,
their vices that can bring only woe.
The sanctity of marriage alone lifted
woman up from the common herd and

civilization.

Wanted to Be a Minstrel.

T EsL1E BARRIE, the Bassanio in the

Merchant Of Venice" ran away from
home when he was lad to become
minstrel
From blackface he turned to roper
toire, for this was in England, where
actors even now tour the country pre-
senting several plays. He acted with
Fred Terry and Julia Nelson and with
Martin Harvey; then with Bransby Will
liams, an actor addicted to Dickens,
with a flare for an occasional perform
ance of Hamlet
Barrie went to Canada and finally
to Australia, where this English youth
played the young American in so This
Is London"
He came to America and appeared in
the Theater Guilds production of "At
Mrs. Beams" He was seen also in
the modern dress, THE Tanning of the
Shrew," which introduced Shakespeare
to radios and that sort of thing. This
brought him quite naturally to THE
Merchant of Venice" as dressed and
staged in the century Shakespeare had
in mind when he wrote it.
