Dear Friends: I've" been in gay Paris more than two days, now, and 1 can say it is a gi and but dirty plaoe. Plenty of traffic, foul air, streets that need the assistance of the municipal cleaning department, narrow alleys that could be widened to benefit proper traffic are some of the more noticeable impurities of the horizon, if I may use such an expression. However, I'm very happy to state that ail of F^aris isn't disagreeable. We visited the opera where the elite are to be seen during the proper season. We learned the building was built in 1868 at a then small mm equivalent to $11,000,000. It's quite the place, though. ss Madelene church, built in the year 1716, came next. The architecture is Greek with all the corinthian pillars. When Napoleon came into power, he used the building as a temple of victory, however, at the fail of his power it wis restored to its former duties. - ; Of course, a trip to Paris would be incomplete, so they say, without visiting the Arch of Triumph and Eiffle Tower. Under the former burns a gas torch day and night over the grave of the unknown soldier. The Arch itself is just what it says, a memorial to* the battles won by the French armies under the leadership of Napoleon Bonaparte. Eiffle Tower tc me at least, was about as beautiful as a human skeleton. It's ;ust a sr.es of triangular figures that extend some 960 feet above the earth. From a gemotrical and engineering standpoint, it is quite a feat in builder construction. The tower was built by Eiffle in 1&85 to 1889. It, according to our guide, has the highest broadcasting station in the world. Incidentally, the construction is a paying proposition at 10 francs or 50 certs our money for a ride. While visiting Napoleon's tomb we were instructed to take no pictuiqs. I. naturally am a good boy, but, somehome I intentionally or unintentionally didn't hear about the restriction. So in a matter-of-fact proceedure I endeavored to take a time exposure of the great shrine. Immediately I was helped over to our guide. Although the French I understand is little and what the guard was saying was Greek to me, I could tell by his facial expressions that he wasn't wishing me "happy birthdays" or -good health". The guide told me I had to confiscate my camera- I told them I hadn't taken a picture and as proof, I opened the camera, pointed it at the guard and pushed the lever from time-exposure over to instante-xposure, gave the guard 60 centimes for , what he thought was a picture of himself. I was told later on that the trouble with most of us Americans was \ve forgot we were foreigners, not the people of the country we were visiting. On Napoleon's tomb is a cover made of marble gotten from Scandinavia that weighs only 7,000 lbs. (It isn't likely that Napoleon will rise from the dead). All around the tomb are flags old and tattered with dust, air and age, which were taken in battles against other European nations, mainly Austrians. Other notables of the originator of the pontoon bridge • have been a sight that makes the say and whose living descendants even to-j ing "seeing is believing" true, day place wreaths on Ms tomb; Jos.

Maybe our people could stand a little of that spirit of "one for all, al^for one idea " In the large cities life of the natives is somewhat different. The class system is broken to a certain extent and many individuals are officials of the government, clerks, managers, 'and shop keepers. Others are coolies, porters, and servants. Gandi, of whom we have read so much about, is a Brahman priest who is trying to break down the barriers between the classes and untouchables and afceording to my friend, he has done tremendous good by bis many starving efforts. Amongr many other interesting things leathered frQm this man from India, I learned that as he came through the Red Sea, he, stopped at Aden. While he was there it rained for the first time in seven years and he was quite fortunate to see the cr.ly living tree, in that very dry city.

We visited the Hall of Mirrors, which isn't anything in comparison to what it was in the time of Louis XIV. There were seventeen sets of mirored panels each containing, I should judge, twenty mirrors in each of the three sections of each panel. Now, in the good olden days, there was an arched window opposite each panel in which ninety burn ng cardies were inserted- From the ceiling were seven or eight large candelabra hanging down at least twentyfive feet. All in all when everything was gay there were 10,000 burning candles going at once. Now you will have to use your imagination tfie same as I when you depict in your mind the real burning candles and the countless reflections that were On board S. S. Westerland. Dear Friends: Last year I wrote you concerning interesting people I met oh the way to Colorado. Well, to start things off, I ment on his return trip a girl named Roily McCalahan, who comes to visit at Mr- and Mrs. Hitter's home often. She states sne knows Earl and lea Dowell very well. Perhaps, many of you people know her, too. No doubt, most of you realize a trip of this sort1 is expensive; so, to make every dollar give i^| proper return, one must take every opportunity to "cash in" on each experiencesometimes to the extent of being brazen. Questions, nonsensical and sensible, must be asked if you avail yourself of every possible return on those dollars. To get to the point, I have met a" doctor and two missionaries that have spent only seventeen years each in the Belgian Congo in Central Africa, and two young English gentlemen, the one spending eight years in British India, Working for Chase and Sanborn; the other living in Dutch India on the Island of Java and City of Batavia for seven yearn NEW be sure it is MODERN as we// as NEW!

There is always many native festivities during the year, but the main fair is during the month of August. To this big event they come from miles around. Much dancing, drinking, etc., take place. The main dance is called wyiang, you pronounce it. In the schools which are small brick or bamboo shelters from the sun, the natives are taught, chiefly, mathematics for clerical work and languages, mostly Dutch, because Java is a Dutch holding. The main exports are not "Java" or coffe ,as we might think, but rubber, tea and hemp. During the months from November to May the Wet ^fonsoons reign or rain ard from June to Oct., the Dry Monsoons prevail. Don't let the word Monsoon vex you, as ti only mean? winds. Another surprising fact was that the temperature seldom jumps from one extreme to another, but remains at or near 88 to 90 degree F. Although, India is only 8 or 10 degrees north of the Equator and Java is only 2 degrees south a distance <"f less than a thousand miles away, there is a vast difference in many, many respects. The temperatures are identical the extremes in most of the Dekkan Penninsula being 70 to 102 degrees. Many of you, without doubt, , know more about the different classes in India than I. Anyway the t»vo extreme classes are the Brahaman, the high priest class, Which are the well educated, and the outcasts which have no cast and are called the untouchables. It seems the regulations and rituals of the former are very difficult and strict. Whenever on a highway a Brahaman meets an untouchable the latter must give warning that he is such before the two come closer than 15 paces. If such is not dorte and the Brahman comes closer than the number of paces mentioned above, he is very much contaminated and must perform various and sundry prayers and rigid formalities before he reaches his state of purity again. And, according to my acquaintance, things just aren't the most pleasant for the untouchable. I failed to learn •what he suffered, but, evidertly, it was plenty. Even in the schools the youngsters sit apart. The Brahaman have the majority of room, while the untouchables have just a small corner that is often times very cramped and crowded. It is just too bad if one cf the outcasts gets in the wrong part of the room. Why, they even have separate entrances to the shelter and separate playgrounds on wiiich to ^lay. Incidentally, the subjects that arc taught in these schools are mathematics, English, Geography, Reading and of course the vernacular languages. The games that the boys like a«? volley-ball, hocky, hop-scotch, tag, cricket, wrestling, sword-play, singlestick, wrestling and often gymnastics The food of the 350 tr illion people, which are mostly agriculturist-*, is made up of rice, corn, curried meats, jUld much unleavened bread. Along with the casts system there i vnes three religions, Budism. Hirdu and Mohammedisin. The people arc accused of worshiping idols in the second. But irw reality, the idols are Symbols for *he real gods. There seems to be six or seven important gods, such as life, love, destruction, food, earth, water, etc- Then every little town or city, small or large has many subsidary gods, consequently tfcere are almost millions of gods and goddesses in the Brahman religion. It is net uncommon to find 4u0,000 people living and making a living in at: area of no more than five square miles. Just think of having 100.000 people earning and raising there living from a space no larger than the city limits of McHenry. SecPms almost impossible, doesn't it? The Hindu individual has been taught to live for the family not the individual such as we have, i. e., when he grows up and gets married, he does not move away but brings bis wife to live in his home.
