ONES AT BEDTIME
By MARY GRAHAM EONNER
During the last speech of Grent Suit
Lake Duvid hud noticed a sign which
read :
"(Jeysers In reliowstone Turk In the
Pocky Mountains In the State of
Wyoming. 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

Soon be came to the Wyoming Pa

"It wanders off a bit Into the neigh

"That Is Just as It should be," Ta
trolmsn Wyoming added. "Our boun

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

are as Interesting as were the off w hite
shades during the summer. Itlch dark
plum tones, garnet reds, browns from

color program for full frocks,
Tho artfully tailored satin gown In
rich autumn hue worn with shoes In

fushlonlsts for Immedlnte wear. As a
reminder of the Importance of shoes
the same color ns the frock, lending
booterles are stressing displays of ex
quisite kid shoes In wine shndes In
dark green and a whole list of browns.
Typical of the autumn trend Is the
bronze-brown satin dresg In the pic

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

Indeed the effectiveness of monotones
used In contrast Is stressed through
out nil costume design for the coming
season.
Touches of turquoise blue on black

Green and brown, beige and brown,
green and beige, deep gurnet with

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,

of all Europe, exclusive only of Itus

nine great religions and sinking
different dialects belongings to six dis

from the point of view of tbe statis

Statistics usually are dull and com
monplace things, but at least In the
case of India we may sny that they
