Even the king was secondary figure,
the original imagery probably being
identified with nature itself.
AS in Europe, the grail legends ap-
pear in many derived forms in India.
Coomaraswamy reveals. Sometimes the
place of the Christian Galahad is taken
by heroine. The magic bowl from
which the world will be fed, probably a
symbol of the rain, appears once a
year on Buddha's birthday from the
waters Of lake which the god fire.
quented in his life. The maiden secures
it and goes through the country with
1t, restoring fertility everywhere. Here
the symbolism closely follows that of
the Lady of the Lake in the legends
of King Arthur.
ut is beyond question" the Smith
mental theme of the grail legend is
present in India, that it once belonged
to vegetation or fertility cult, and
that, just as in Europe. the original
meaning of the motif was gradually
forgotten, so that the myth became a
tale employed for edifying purposes re-
mote from those of its primary sig
nificance.
The same applies to the dance.
Folk dances, in part rain spells, and
also sword dances are certainly known
lelS with various vegetation and sword
dances of Europe. Authors have sought
to interpret many Vedic hymns as being
the words of early vegetation dramas
or mysteries, and the general Indian
tendency to think of the dance as a
symbol or instigation of cosmogenic
activities cannot be ignored.
THE fundamental theme OF the
manned king and consequent cosmic
disaster, necessitating a ritual designed
to secure the freeing of the waters, is
plainly traceable in India, where it
must once have existed in more def
rite form than at present"
THE general idea. without any Of its
later Christian and Buddhist embellish-
ments, he points out, can be traced back
at least as far as Babylon, and prob
ably formed basic part Of the ancient
Indo-European culture.

couples will be considerably less
than they have been in previous
years.

Washington Man Who Sought
to Win Fame as RaCketeer
Will Recover, Doctors Say

RICHMOND Va, May 5.--Oon-
aid w. Sagle, Washington youth
who craved to be q rackeUeer
will be charged with the murder
of his four-months' bride, au
thoritieS indicated today.
Sagle. who is 26. shot and killed
his 20-year-old bride, Mrs. Agnes
jenkins Sagle. Sunday night
after she had refused to return
to him, then turned the gun on
himself.
Expected to Recover
Doctors last night operated on
the youth and said he probably
will recover. A police guard has
been placed over him in Memor
ial Hospital.
Members of her Bible class,
numerous friends of several of
those who worked with her while
she was a telephone girl, we're
among those who attended the
funeral Of Mrs. Sagle today. The
obSequieS we're conducted today by
the Rev. G. T. Forester in the
home in which the double shoot
ing occurred.
The Sagfes were married De
cember 20 after a five-day court
ship and in spite of the protests
of the brides family. A few
weeks later they separated and
the bride returned to Richmond.
Sagle made three trips here in
an attempt to effect a reconcil-
iation, but she refused to return
to him. Last week the young huS-
band again went to Richmond.
Asks for Publicity
Sunday afternoon in his hotel
room he wrote a letter addressed
ITO the Press" saying he had al
ways wanted to be a racketeer,
and that he hoped he could get
some real publicity" out of what
was to follow.
He then went to his wife's
home and shot her after she again
refused to return to him. When
police arrived he admitted the
killing.
