Stresses in a frame dwelling

Professor Williams also says

churches readily : collapse under

and detail of framing. Anchoring

nothing of the character of stress

they are erecting. They merely
tlace one part of the structure

to hold the parts together. In

It is surprising that so little
study has been given to the prob
lem of th$ adhesion of mortar to
bricks. In view of the fact that
the strength of a wall is depend
ent upon be proper adhesion of
mortar to brick or stone work, one
wouia suppise mat this problem
had received careful study. This
problem was recently taken up by
the Bureau of Standards.
It was tound In general that
bricks of the highest total absorp
tion show; the most rapid rate of
absorbing water. Tests were made
and interesting results noted
Where &r$ bricks were used the
mortar adhered to the brick first
in contact with it. Where - the
bricks were wet, the mortar ad
hered to the second brick laid
From these tests it is easily seen
that the strength of the bond be
tween cement mortar -and. bricks
Is greater when bricks are. first
wet and then laid. . 1

My husband and I climbed up on

for us. Then Munchi. meaning

and interpreter, climbs on behind.

than this he is far more broad to
think of straddling. We have no

toped to the elephant's back.
When he rises he first straightens
his front legs and you have to
hold on to the ropes or you would
likely take a tumble. Once he
has arisen, you are quite safe till
he goes to sit down again.

feel the need of my broad Japan

clumsy creature, my parasol near

on either side, so narrow are the
bumpy, dirty streets. The people
all stare at us and get out of the
Way. To the right of us as we
pass along we notice a sadhu
(holy man) lying close to a fire
his whole body, head and all,
wrapped in a thin dirty cloth,
looking very much like a corpse.
He is doing penance. j
I Finally we are outside the Til
lage of Bhagalpur and in the
country. We see people working
in the rice, grain and opium
fields. England buys up all the
opium at ten rupees a seer and
sells it for eighty rupees. The
pour people are poverty stricken.
They toil day and night and only
eke out a bare existence. Every
now and then we see a huge tree
with twisted truks. Upon closer
observation we find that it is two
gifts from us, but we had none.

But it is getting towards sun
down and we must hasten on.
The evening air is a piercing cold.
We notice it, although dressed in
heavy unjerwear, sweaters and
coats. But the poor Indian people
suffer from the co!d. If they
have a piece of cotton cloth long
enough to wrap around the body
and cover the head, they are
better off than many others who
haven't even that. Few have

we see gods on mounds of earth
as we pass along.
After passing several, villages
we finally preach the one where
we are going to preach. We have
been' invited to the hut of a ra
jah's family. I say hut, because
this family, the rightful heirs to
the estate of ' the rajah "of this
part, has been cheated out of his
inheritance, and they are. in sore
poverty, their once large , and
spacious dwelling is a heap of
ruins and anly a small hut re
mains. After i greeting the men,
mother McCarty and I are invited
into the women's quarters.
No women j vf any standing
whatever is ever allowed outside
of her home. ' These are called
zenana" or "purdah" women. If
they travel they must be carried
to the train in a "doolie." and
every train' has cars for these
women. We enter a dark room
and here, on the floor, la the light
from one door which opens out
into a court, sits the wife, in her
best 'sari" and 'laden with orna
ments, from the heavy metal col
lars cm her neck, and rings in her
nose and ears, to the rings n her
toes. The saris worn by the wom
en are very picturesque, and this
sad-faced women with her pen
sive, dreamy eyes, makes a really
fascinating picture, especially to
me, a plain western woman.
We exchange greetings, mother
interpreting. The woman holds
the baby and a group of dirty
women and children crowd in to
watch us. All are pleased with
