We made our way from the tramway ' ttrongh the filthy streets. paaw- , ng among the native shops the eople, and sacred cows to the on istuary ot the Ganges that flows hrough the . city. Here Kaligha'. s located so hat the worshippers may bathe in the sacred waters Aiong the alley that leads to tlu '1' emple were hundreds of Hinduf 1 iquatting on their haunche with seemingly no purpose In life and incapable of any enthusiasm what soever. We asked our priest-guide nrho or what they were. "Oh. thev are the beggars," b replied as though he were sayina 'On, they are the choir boys." Though I should say that cboi boys or anything like them are a icarce In a Hindu temple as bee- jars are "in a Christian cathedral fjfe, entered the court of tb emole where dirty, half naked children were playing around as 'hough it were in someone's back yard. The worshippers In th shrine of Kali were going through a thousand and one combination of contortions before a wood carv d image painted red. Nearby un der a thatched roof platform were the Brahmans reading the hob- books, eating curry and rice, and sitting on the floor. Then we vr:t to the burning ghat and viewed the funeral fires in their different conditions of destruc lion: One poor chap was only part ly burned and the fire was dwind ling.! His feet were gone, but hia brown calves were sticking out of the fife like huge frankfurters on a griddle. Some more fuel would , oonhave to be put on the fire. still, we wore told, the crows would finish him if the fire did burn-out before he was complete ly demolished. A young girl was lifted on the fire while we were there. She was well -painted about the forehead and pn her feet with symbols of her Caste. As she was placed On the blaze, the Hindus gave hasty anchantatfons, then spatted their hand as though to say, "Well that's" that," and glanced over at us in an inviting manner. Thev werer, waiting till we got our eye .fulfy.then they would ask us for monejr, supposedly for the tem- i pie. ?, We. - watched them sacrifice oata jat the altar of the shrine to the i if? patron god of Calcutta.

The plumber the barber, the cook, and the veterinarian, as well as the physician, have had an im portant part in the eradication of many of the parasites of man. In the case of livestock, these nu merous forces and aids to sani tation are not entirely applies ble. Consequently the veterinarian Is waging a rather lonesome fight against the parasitic enemies of his patients, and the world's sup ply of veterinarians is very much smaller than its supply of phys icians. Moreover, man is more inter ested In the parasites that annoy him directly than in those that cause only indirect trauble, and in the opinion of Dr. M. C. Hall, chief parasitologist of the Bureau of Animal Husbandry.

(The following review of Ella McMunn's book. Seven Miles Out, was written by Dean Collins who has achieved a noteworthy place In Oregon literature by his verses, songs, humor, human interest sketches and scholarly essays on books that appear In the Port land Telegram. His review of Miss McMunn's little book is lit erature itself, and could only have been written by one with a deep love of nature and possessed of a sympathetic comprehension of what Miss McMunn has placed in the little volume. Incidentally, it may be added that the splendid reviews given the book could not have been purchased by the payment of any sums whatever, appearing in the editorial col umns, and given gratis as a tri bute to Miss McMunn. who is held in esteem by her fellow crafts men, although for some years she has been forced out of active news paper ranks by illness.) The review follows: Ella McMunn has written an other little book the first she has published since 1924 when her sketches, "Down on the Farm." appeared. "Seven Miles Out" is the title but the book actually takes one any required distance. and any re quired number of years.

CHICAGO (AP) The Univer sity of Chicago Press may now print records in Egyptian hiero glyphics. The only font of hieroglyphic type In the United States Is in possession of the university and ready for use in the print shop. If was decided the type was necessary after there had been constant demand for the hiero glyphic characters in printing re cords of the university's five ex peditlons in Egypt and for the publication of Middle Kingdom Egyptian grammatical material. The only other similar type form in existence is at Oxford University in England. Prof. James Henry Breasted the university's head Egyptologist and Prof. Alan Gardiner collabo rated in drawing the hieroglyphic characters. Matrices, or patterns for the type, were made at the Oxford University Iress. the type font drawn and shipped here. I ne standard characters num ber 724 symbols.

Your issue of Sunday last con ained an interesting SttUimary of the history of the Indian schools of the country, and reminds the undersigned very vividly by what a narrow margin the figM for the location of the Chemawa school was won when it was transferred from Forest Grove to Salem in 1885 43 years ago. It would be nothing but mock modesty in me to pretend to conceal the fact that I was In that fight and that I think I was a major factor In se curing the coveted outcome. I will never forget the sleepless nights and hectic days of what I may catl that scholastic episode. I have no particular quarrel with a self booster or a self starter. That is purely a matter of taste or temperament, unless it becomes a habit. But I can say that politic ally I was never a self starter but once, and that was in 1897 at the close of Cleveland's last adminis tration when I needed the money. Your Sunday Issue developed the inference that we "slipped some thing over" on Forest Grove and that "the soft pedal was applied through the connivance of news paper reporters" In our controver sy over the Indian school. It Is true that we did not broadcast our campaign and that. In Its conduct,, we enjoined care, speed and si lencer but we were not, and are not, conscious of having violated any code of ethics. During the winter "preceding the removal of the school to Salem one of the rented buildings on leased ground that housed a num ber of the students at Forest Grove was destroyed by fire. The gov ernment, then realizing that it needed more room and permanent buildings, decided to invite bids !or a possible new location. There upon Forest Grove may I say It "covertly" secured the pledge ot Senator Dolph and Congress man George that they would op pose any removal of the school from Forest Grove." which was en tirely legitimate. This pledge, which, at first, seemed to be our principal handicap; ultimately proved to be theirs, because, be lieving the pledge of the congres sional delegation to be all power ful, they allowed the situation largely to take care of itself. 1 Among the bidders for the Io- nation of the school my uncle. Col. I. R. Moores, offered, at a low fig ure, the tract that was finally sel ected. During the months that fol lowed the owner died and the writ er was named as administrator of his estate. A session of th ' r lature followed a few months later and the controversy came befor that body. In opposing the reten tion of the school at Forest Grove we were confronted with the pledge of the congressional dele gation. We had by all odds the best and most valuable location, although it was then a forest of firs. Dr. H. J. Mlnthom, the uncl of Herbert C. Hoover, had recent ly retired as the head of the school. and Dr. M. V. Coffin had anrrwi. d him. Both favored the Salem location. Judge J. C. Peebles, of Marlon county, was chief clerk of the aenate. J. W. Strange of Douglas county, chief clerk of the house, had. at the previous ses sion, been assistant clerk, while I was chief clerk of the house. Be ing private secretary of the gover nor gave me Immediate access to Messrs. Peebles and stra . bom I explained the situation but from whom I asked nothing except that they promptly forward to the respective houses all meas ures bearing on the school contro- ersy. We had a fairly good com bination for securing results. Th pledge of Messrs. Dolnh and George offered a dUcouraglng out- iook. Her. Dr. R. W. Hill was at that time pastor of the Presbyteri an church of Salem and cooperated with Messrs. Mlnthom. Coffin and -Moores at all their meetings. Af- er naving at various meetings dis- ussea tne situation from everv- standpoint, we acepted Dr. Hill's nvnation to hold what nPnn,i,n.i be our final meeting, at hi- home. The outlook was not en couraging. As we orenared tn .h. ourn.
