Mie reason for this Is that .hce heavy bodied l.iiht Ilidlu teas re semble coffee In color nnd body. They are liked fr Iced tea because even when somewhat diluted by melt Ins b'e they still have considerable flavor and a delightful color. Choosing black, green, or oolong ten, however. Is a matter of personal taste. After deciding wbbh flavor Is pre ferred, the housewife should select a brand that Is sold In a proper kind of pn kape wbb h will preervc the qual ity of the ten. This Is very Important. Tens that are pat ki d In tin. or car tons lined Inside with nliiinlnutii or lenil, or transparent airtight material are generally In containers that will well preserve the product.

As a rule, blends of leaf grades have more body than a tingle leaf grade. (ircen tcai and oolong tens are oft en preferred for serving plain or with augur and lemon.

Tills may be Inter preted as an even or a rounded ten spoonful after you have made tea from your chosen brand once or twice. If ten lings are used, one per cupful Is ordinarily allowed; In aoine cnsi-a the bags may contain more tea than In others, so It U well tr test the strength of the hrw for yourself for th brand ymi ue. Always use fresh ly drawn water for ten making. Meas ure It and bring It to a bubbling boll before pouring It on the ten leaves. Water boiled too long makes ten flat.

Admission free to Living Map adventurers." It didn't take David long to get started In that direction after a word of farewell to Great Salt Lake. David found It wub only a short Living Map distance. He walked straight along a narrow path, one side of which wub being guarded by I'atrolman Idaho and bis workers, with i'atrolmnn Utah and his work ers on the other side.

"It wanders off a bit Into the neigh boring states," they told him. "That Is Just as It should be," Ta trolmsn Wyoming added. "Our boun dary rules are also such tliut we mustn't keep all our mountains and rivers and wonders In one stute. We like to share them. "Then, too," he said, In a low voice, "It's hard to keep rivers still and mountains down." As he approached, a great fountain of hot water seemed to be shot out of the earth and high Into the air, and a great voice shouted: "The Geyser of Yellowstone Tark welcomes you, Duvid!

Typical of the autumn trend Is the bronze-brown satin dresg In the pic ture. It Is finished at the neck and wrists with the same satin weave In a bright rust tone. The brown kid shoes worn with this smart gown are a perfect color mntch to It.' Many of the couturiers are combin ing soft pastel tints with dark shades.

WosUra Hwiir Union.) hi Ii4 INDIA AND ITS PEOPLES By Capt. L. R. Claud, ffybinson WHAT IS INDIA? EXCEPT In generalities, the average man knows very little about India, Spnce there has not been annihilated, as In our western civilization, (by tele graphs, newspapers, books,. telephones, movies and wireless. To comprehend a country even slightly, yoo tnust visit It, To know It still better, you must live In It. And to know It best of all, you must not only- live In a country but study Its people, their customs and mode of living. I don't suppose 2 per cent of Amerlcons have had the advantage of seeing India,, It Is not surprising, therefore, thnt we have the habit of speaking as If It were a conn try like France or Itoly, Instead of a continent or combination of countries like Europe, We are apt to forget that India hna a popu'ntlon of 320,uX),(XJO, composed of different races, speaking different languages and practicing different re ligions. We also forget the far-reaching results of caste, a social or class system under which every Hindu Is born Into a group which for life de fines bis occupation, method of living and even marriage limitations. There are 2,4m) Hindu castes In India, and It Is difficult to realize that 0.O0O,OUO Hindus out of a total of "--UOOO.OOO are looked upon by the castes which sre above them as "untouchables" or Dutcasts. Thousands of years ago when the conquering Aryans descended from the North and became rulers and masters Of India, they formed a higher civili sation than the dark, thick-featured aborigines, and to preserve their own purity of race, decided to exclude the earlier race from their more Intimate loclul settlements. Thus originated this body of "untouchnbles.'" Touch ing them, or even coming Into remote contact with 'them, Involves the hlgti caste Hindus In ceremonial defilement. It Is Interesting to note that In a re cent utterance the spokesman of these 70.tMdi.miO people declared himself en tirely opposed to the policy of Mnhat ma Gandhi, the Instigator of the movement of passive resistance In India, Just Imagine, then, a region the size of all Europe, exclusive only of Itus !n, stretching over 28 degrees of lati tude and 40 degrees of longitude, wit a I population of 32U M), ). praetlcln nine great religions and sinking different dialects belongings to six dis tinct families of sjieech. That Is India from the point of view of tbe statis tician. Statistics usually are dull and com monplace things, but at least In the case of India we may sny that they sre startling. If their meaning Is to oe grasjied. we must clothe them witn flesh and blood. This can only be Jone by hard und extensive traveling In that vast, mysterious and romantic laud. THE HIGHWAY TO INDIA FUUM the duwn of history IndU bus beeu tbe victim of Invasion liter Invasion. What ot the gutewhy through which these Invasions caniet A little north of latitude 34. a natural rut In the mountains, runs for a dis tance of 20 mites from Jumrud on the tdge of the trun Indus plain to an )pen spot at l.nndl Kliana on the bor der of Afghanistan. It Is known as the Khyber pass. Until the advent of sea power this historic hlghwuy constituted pnictl rally the only channel through whlel) yoiild enter the many Influences whUn li.ive plined so large a part In shHpiug the destinies of India. It provided the main Inlet through which flowed the tide of Aryan stock which took root In the fertile soil of the tianges fill ley and gave to the world the rich gift of Indian thought and civilization. Many centuries Inter, though stilt 5K' years before the Christian eru. a western civilization, lured by the story Of the richness of the country whlcn luy beyond, for the first time l ml Its itoiiy puth. This was the Invasion ot Alexander the Great. A thousand years after Christ came another conqueror, Mnhiiiml of Guznl, opening up another momentous chapter In the story of the Continent. Muhmud was out for plun der and he met und defeated the Itaj puts at Peshawar. This marked the beginning ot the Mohammedan Inva sion which was to end In the Mogul d) nasty, the splendor of whose sway Is perhaps unsurpassed lu the unnnls Of the world. Today the Khyber pass plwWi-n less historic part, but Is still, as II was before, the main land thoro'ughfVre be tween Itnllu and central und western Asia. lty an agreement made with the Afrldls towards the end of the lust century, the safely ot the puss was entrusted to the Afrldl tribe, wlilcb provided a body of men for patrol and escort duties. More recently this corps was placed on a regular basis--paid, armed and officered by Itrltlsh officers, and became a regiment known as the Khyber Rifles.
