The Brink Of
Womanhood

05 HE first knowledge that the grow
ing girl has of womanhood is
usually a painful one. She learns to
know what headache means, and
backache, and is sadly borne down by
this new experience of lfe.
The pains and misery which
young girls commonly experience
each month may, in almost every
instance, be entirely prevented, or
overcome, by the use of DR. Pierce's
Prescription. 1t tones the general
health, relieves periodic suffer-
ing and establishes regularity. Usu-
ally headache, backache, nervous
ness and other consequences of
womanly weakness disappear.
Mothers should give their daughters
this Prescription which DR.. Pierce
prescribed in such cases when in ac-
tive practice, years ago. Just ask the
druggist for DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription-fuid or tablets.

ton of remaining foundations

Roof Leads to Discovery
Of Old Buddha Statue

TOKIO.-More than six months ago
Jujiro Ujike, an architect, in passing
a temple at Ajikicho, Chiba prefecture,
just across the bay from Toxic, noticed
something peculiar sb5ut the roof
formation. The incident remained in
his mind, and last March he made an
other trip to Akijicho to inspect the
roof more closely. He was convinced
that part of the roof was extremely
ancient; more important, he found in
the temple a four-foot statue of the
Buddha whose copper head has been
identified by DR.. Tel Sekine as dating
from the Nara period, more than 1850
years ago. DR.. Sekine, who is a noted
archeologiSt of the ministry of educa-
ticn, has asked that the statue be reg
istered as national treasure.
The statue is of the Gautama Bud
dha, whereas most Japanese Buddhas
are representations of Amida or Vairo-
chana, and this alone would indicate
that it was made during the early
period of Buddhism IN Japan. The
present body was added to the head
at a much later date. DR.. Sekine be-
neves the original body was probably
destroyed in a fire which burned part
of the temple in 1898, and that the
statue was afterward reconstructed. II
DR.. Sekine is correct, this Buddha is
one Of the two oldest In the country,
the other being the image at the Shin
dai temple in Kitatama-g1n, Toxic
suburb, which also dates from the
Nara epoch.

Bulgaian Masses Win by Democracy
Of King Boris and Queen Joanna

astounded the foreign colony and local
society by insisting on talking Bull
garian on every occasion where 1t was
suitable. This, Of course. has served to
make her enormously popular in Sofia.
She still, however. does not lead very
active social life like Boris. she Is
modest and retiring, and only very
rarely is a foreign legation honored by
the presence at dinner of the King and
Queen. For this, too, a delightful

Boris has cut his civil list drastically
and as kings go Is very poor; he fears
that If he accepts hospitality he will
not be able to repay it In kind!
Weakness for Locomotives.
Boris is something of sportsman,
but his favorite sport Is in an unortho-
dox and amusingly practical field. He
drives locomotive engines. Very often
on journey he takes a turn at tne
throttle and likes nothing better than
to don dirty overalls and, his hands
covered with grease and his eyes CHECKED
with coal dust, hustle the Simplon or
other expresses through the Bulgarian
passes.
Ar ardent motorist, too-although
he has only two modest cars-he has
often stopped on the roadside to help
stranded voyagers change tires, or
monkey with carburetors clogged by
good Bulgarian dust.
None Resent His Power.
Politically Boris is a great factor for
stability in the country. He knew, last
Summer, that the country was fed up
to the teeth with the Liaptchef gov
ernment-although he appreciated, too,
this governments service in restoring
order from chaos In Bulgarian civil
life-and he was anxious to see 1t go.
But he is strictly constitutional mon
arch, with no leanings to dictatorship.
Liaptcheff resigned. but resumed ONCE
when two weeks of crisis did not pro-
duce a successor. Disappointed, the
King insisted on new elections. And he
insisted also that these elections be
free and honest. with the result that
"a peaceful revolution" turned Lapt-

the peasant enjoyed wide economic
freedom; he could sell his grain either
to the government or to private middle
men. Yet from 1926 to 1923, on the
eve of the introduction of the five
year plan, the Soviets decreed various
harsh measures against "NEP-men"
(private traders; although not legally
outlawed, they were placed in so diff
cut a position that their numbers
quickly dwindled. BY thus eliminating
their competition, the government
hoped to divert practically all of the
grain trade into its co-operatives.
At this time the Soviet ruble already
had begun to lose its value. Yet, refus-
ing to take that into consideration, the

government offered such low prices to
the peasants that they refused to sell
their grain at all. In 1928, as food
stuffs quickly disappeared from the
stores, Russian cities found themselves
on the verge Of famine. Thus, the just

SOFIA Bulgaria.-The story Is tod
that when King Boris Of Bulgaria
travels around the country with MS
italian bride, Joanna. and mtngles
freely with the townsmen and peasants,
as he ALWAYS has done. he presents ms
queen to friends with the words: ON,
hello. there. l haven't seen you since
I married. Meet my wife .
Boris. from almost every point OF
view. is a model king, perhaps the best
king still ruling In Europe.
Sticks Close to Job.
For one thing, his interest In his Job
and his country-is intense. For tne
eight-year period OF civil tension winch
more than once seemed to be precipi-
tatinr civil war Boris never stirred out
of the country; for eight years he did
not have so much as a weeks vacation
abroad.
For another his personal memory Tor
names and faces is uncanny. He must
have gone to school with Addison Sims
of Seattle. He knows literally thou
sands of his subjects by name-peop!e

drivers, from tattered fishermen at
Varna to Macedonian village protects

Outstanding Courage.
His physical and moral courage are
both notable. He was about to enter
Sofa cathedral in 1925 Just before the
bomb explosion that killed $50 people
within. Boris was one OF the first men
in the building, while rafters were still
falling and blood splashing over the
floor.
His tact is also notable. There were
indications, following his marriage
with an Italian princess. of new po-
ntical tie-up between Italy and Bull
garia. Boris feared to intensity this
and knew that it would be intensified
II in the limited social life of Sofia
he and his Queen went about much to
parties, because inevitably they would
be thrown with the Queens Italian
friends. So for year Boris and Joanna
did not go to parties.
Queen Speaks Bulgarian.
There was another reason for this
and q charming one. Boris speaks
three or four languages well. So does
Joanna, but naturally she did moi

SPORT SLAMS \AAAn eo111

By a slow but somewhat painful but nevertheless steady process, the athletic organizations of our colleges are reaching the conclus- ion that the so-called football "breather' or "set-up" games have outlived their advantages.
 The reasons therefor may be roughly classified as follows:
 I. The little colleges, themselves, no longer able to gain sufficient financial liniment in return for their bruises, dislike being fled to the lions"
 ?. The big colleges likewise find ing the results unsatisfactory from the box-office as well as compe- tive viewpoints, are looking with greater favor on the idea of stay- ing in their own class.
 3. The alumni and football following public have manifest its distaste in no uncertain terms for contests lacking the rudiments of proper match making.

 AS Jackson Cannell, Dartmouth's head coach, sums it up:

TOO MUCH STARRING

In short, so long as football is to be continued on it's present commercial basis, it should be ele- mentary procedure to make it a contest, so far as can be fore seen.
 For many seasons 1t has taken Just about a month of sparring before the real action started. Long before he died, Knute Rockne successfully demonstrated the fact that big college can move in its own competitive class from start to finish without worrying about the strain or the scoring consequence. But others have been slow to adopt the same policy, except in some parts of the Middle and Far West, oroat a college like Pittsburgh.
 Meanwhile, smaller colle ges, Swarthmore among the latest, have in some measure taken the initia- tive themselves in refusing to be used as early season cannon fod- der for the big fellows. Little" Bates did the next best thing by holding Yale to a scoreless tie. thereby giving the Eli editors two reasons, instead of one, for arguing against the scheduling of such con- tests.
 Had there been any idea Bates would give Yale so remarkable a battle the ballyhoo could have ta- ken on an entirely different tone in advance and the gate receipts in consequence, stimulated.
