pier-MaChe Figures to
Indicate Wealth.

PEIPING (P).-Chinese of the North
always Indifferent to the reform meas
ures of the Nationalist government at
Marking, has made the costly paper
figures carried in funeral professions
symbolic not only of their beliefs about
the life hereafter, but also of their po-
litical intransigence
Marking has rallied against the clabo-
rate funerals as entaillng costly waste
which few families can afford The
Nationalist have also denounced the
rites as conceived by Buddhist OF Taoist
priests for purposes of private revenue
and have cited glazing instances OF
profiLeering
With the Chinese a funeral is an eX-
pensiVe affair. A coolie will pawn his
rickSha or the tools of his trade in
order to provide elaborate last rites for
a relative, believing that the departed
are in position to protect the living and
therefore must be kept in good humor

funeral route. Then comes a smiling
Buddha, followed by long line of beg
gars bearing banners on which are in
scribed extravagant praises of the viz
tues of the deceased. Beggar children
follow with emblems of mourning, all of
which are white.
OF recent years it has become the
custom for relatives of the departed
to try to deceive the gods of the next
world by providing their departed kin
with equipages of a sort far superior
to those which wre theirs in life So a
full size papier-mache automobile with
life-siZed figures of chauffeur and foot
men will be carried as we'll as papier-
mache carriages, harness. and saddle
horses, coachmen and grooms. These
may be provided even though the de-
ceased in life may have mad means
to hire only an occasional ricksha.
In addition there are paper images of
men and maio servants and of elabo-
rately gowned concubines, all to be
burned at the grave in order that the
dead man may enter the next world
suitably equipped for high place in its
council.
