For cold drinking water, most
Indians still depend on an an
cient and ingenious kind of jug
called the "chatti." Moisture
seeps through the porous earth
enware of the jug and evapor
ates, and the evaporation chills
the water inside.
It works as well in the
scorching Indian sun as in the
shade, You can set a cnatti out
doors at noon and in an hour
or so the water will be as cool
as a mountain brook.
Indians use a similar evapora
tion principal to cool their
houses and offices. Windows
and doors are covered with mats
of thick, heavy grass known as
"khus-khus" and soaked with
water. Hot air passing through

How They Cool Off in India
Give Ideas for Here
New Delhi U.R If you can't take hot weather, you might try
some home-made heat remedies that were invented in India a long
time before anyone thought of electric refrigerators or air condi-
Innlne.
The treatment, as prescribed
by the ancient Hindu medical
system known as Ayurveda,
calls for buttermilk, lemons, al
monds and green mangoes.
You start the day with a but
termilk drink called "lassi." It
is the most popular breakfast
drink in India during the hto
months, and it's made by whip
ping buttermilk, cold water and
salt into a white frothy
It looks loke a vanilla milk
shake and tastes like cottage
cheese. Taken in the morning,
an Ayurvedic practioner ex
plained, it "cools the blood" and
"prepares the system."
Before lunch you drink a
mixture of lemon juice, sugar
and water. The summer popu
larity of lemonade all over the
world is no accident, according
to Ayurveda. Hindus believe
firmly In the "indigenous cool
ing powers" of the lemon.
In mid-afternoon you drink a
cloudy combination of ground
almonds, water and a little
sugar. The almonds, soaked and
peeled the night before, should
be crushed into a paste just be
fore the water is added.
At bedtime you have a mango
shake. This takes more doing.
The mangoes should be young
and green, and they have to be
baked in an oven beforehand.
Then the dried meat is crushed
and powdered, mixed with
sugar or salt (or both) and
stirred into a tall glass of cold
water.' .

'A DREAM COME TRUE'
Bob Cummings Has Idea
For Practical Bathroom
By PATRICIA CLARY
Hollywood (U.R) Robert Cummings has designed a new kind of
bathroom in his new home which he claims is an answer to an
"impractical, non-utilitarian blight on American life.1
Cummings' bathroom of the
future has no door between it
and the bedroom, has a mirror
built out over the sink and in
cludes a steam bath, exercise
room and workshop.
"The bathroom is one of the
most important rooms in the
house," Cummings said. "People
have never given it any thought
Embarrassed to mention it to
their architects, I guess."
Cummings, who plays an In
ventor in the Universal-International
movie "Free for All," de
signed his own bathroom in his
new 10,500-square foot mansion.
"The average bathroom is a
monstrosity in miniature," he
he said. "Mine is a dream come
true."
There are no doors between
bathroom, bedroom and dressing
room for Cummings.

themselves to colds by going

Youngest College Prexy
Knocks Education Plans
Chicago U.R) The new president of Rollins college, Winter Park,
Fla., says that Laurence Olivier is the best teacher of bliake
speare of our times."
The president is Paul A. Wag
ner, an industrial executive.
who, at 31, will become tne na
tion's youngest college presi
dent.
Wagner, educated at the Uni
versity of Chicago, Yale and
Harvard, puts special emphasis
on the communication of ideas,
in education as in business.
"Education must find a way
to compete successfully with
radio, television, and the mov
ies in stimulating the student's
interest," he said.
"Olivier communicates more
and makes the average person
more aware of what Shakes
peare was trying to get across
than many English teachers
have succeeded in doing."
Wagner proposes that educa
tional institutions fully utilize
audiovisual methods in "putting
the message across" to the stu
dents.
The role of the college in pre,
paring students for taking part
in society is a subject that Wag
ner has thought about a lot.
"What we need is to develop
well-rounded and educated stu
dents not just specialists in one
field or another, he said.
"America is fast becoming a
nation of specialists. We leave
economic problems to the econo
mists, political problems to the
politicians, and educational
problems to educators, while we
sit on the sidelines.
"Citizenship in the modern
world demands general under
standing, not only special under
standing." The role of the college presi
dent, Wagner said, should be

that of the "chief questioner,"
asking questions such as "What
are we trying to do in this
course?" and "Is this really
worthwhile?"
Like Socrates, Wagner in
tends only to ask the questions,
not supply the answers.
"Obviously, a 31-year-old kid
can t tell a professor of abnor
mal psychology, for instance
how to conduct his class. But I
can pose the questions which
will help us to improve the
course continually so that the
student gets the maximum from
it," Wagner said.
...
The fault with many educa

fail to get the message across
to the student," Wagner said.
"Too often a professor simply
reads to his class from his notes
and the class simply puts them
down in their notebooks,
"All that happens is that the

Corvallis, July 11 (If) Plants
