PUPILS OF MISS MCLAUGHLIN
PLAY FOR +. HIGH ST. CLUB

"Cities Of India" proved a most in
teresting subject for the East High
Street Literary club at its regular
Tuesday meeting.
Mrs. Sallie K Robson won the
highest words of praise from the
members, for her excellent description
of Benares, India, which was given in
a most delightful manner and entirely
from memory.
Benares, situated in northern India,
on the Ganges river, has population
of some 208,000 and is known as the
most Oriental city in the world. 1t
can be traced historically to 1000 B.
C. and was then in the height of its
power and influence. Due to the fact
that the Ganges river is supposed to
flow from the feet Of god located in
the Hinalaya mountains, Benares to
the Hindus, is the most sacred city of
the world 1t is metropolis of con-
trast and extremes, mystery and en-
chantment. 1t is the center of the
Hindu religion and holy mecca for
pilgrims from far and wide.
Very little of the modern trend is
found here-all of the changes have
come slowly for the natives wish to
live as their fathers did, Benares, In
dia, does indeed breathe of worship,
and casts for its spirit Of power and
peace.
The paper on Calcutta, India, pre-
pared by Mrs. Marie Willard, gave its
share Of interesting facts about this
great mysterious country. Calcutta is
the Gateway to India on the East
coast rival of the city of
Of Bombay. 1t is known as the "City
of Palaces" The Mai-dan, the most
beautiful promenade Of the city,
stretches for some two miles along the
river bank and although at noon it is
practically deserted due to the intense
heat between 5 and Z in the evening.
Crowds in unheard of numbers gather
here. The botanical gardens of Cal
cutta are without rival and this very
city has contributed more tropical
plants to the world than any other
known center. 1t is true that India is
land of extremes, and what is good
is very good and what is bad could
not be worse.
Miss Helen Chandler then added her
well-prepared paper on another of In
dia's fascinating cities-Delhi which
has population of $4,000 and is To-
lated on a branch of the Ganges in
north central India. This is center
around which lives still the glory Of
the Moguls. The reader presented to
us, through the eyes Of sightseer
many enchanting things, some of
which were as follows: The magnifc-
ent central thoroughfare, "The Silver
Square; the old forts and their part
in Indian history; the shrines, exqui-
site examples Of marble architecture,
carvings and mosaic handiwork of un-
matchable beauty.
At the close of the literary program
three talented pupils Of Miss Florence
Mclaughlin delighted the members
with their display of artistry.

DAIRY FARMERS
SEE NEW HOPE

Indications that independent
dairy farmers near Washington
may win their fight against in
cluSion of the three class, three
price" plan in the proposed local
milk agreement appeared today,
as d result of the action of
Secretary of Agriculture Wallace
in changing pricing provisions
of the Detroit milk pact.
In place of the "three-price"
idea, Secretary Wallace ,substi-
tuted in the Detroit code a plan
calling for four classes of milk.
The third class. usually termed
surplus" for which producers
have been given what they term
"ruinous prices" is limited to S
per cent of total production. For
fourth class milk, farmers near
Detroit will receive 30 per cent
more than for third class.
This action has been interpret
ed BY independent producers sup
plying the washington market as
a sign that similar changes, or
other notifications, may be made
easily in connection with the
local code.
