(Prepared by th National Geographic Society, Washington, D. C.) While there Is a considerable amount of unrest In many parts of India proper, the people of Burma, which is governed as a part of India and yet is geographically separate from it, seem to be living contentedly. "Geographical and social conditions and -the economic -situation flowing frornthem undoubtedly have much to do with this. Burma knows little of the fear of famine or the pinch of poverty. ’TlsTlaiufiHffS productive, TFTs rich Tn minerals, it Is not over-populated, nnd -tt-la-fra,, faWft Iftf ,rMTm *];• tern which is a trentendous "fiahmFifp' to India, both socially and economically. Kipling and practically all other writers about the East have pointed out repeatedly that it "is difficult at best -for westerners to understand the. oriental peoples. If. the observer from tile West wishes to tackle this admittedly difficult problem by easy stages, perhaps he could find no better place to start than Burma. In a number of senses there is'less of a gulf between the life and customs of the Burmese, and those of the West than will be found if the comparison is made with any other eastern country. The Indian is in most cases a sober Individual. The lower castes must take life - with desperate seriousness . because of its hardness nnd the difficulty of clinging .to it. The higher castes are sedate-and given to specu l lative philosophy. The Chinaman is an enigma. His emotions are difficult to fathom. The people of the Mo•hannnedan countries are marked by, a (uiet dignity. The Burmese Love Life.In contrast with these other peoples of Asia, and almost alone among them, the Burmese are frank, open, happy—lovers of life, Their women are not seclufted, but are, among- the freest women in the world. Both men and women are lovers of music and wearers of bright clothing. Because of their spontaneity and friendliness they have been dubbed “the Irish of the Orient.” Burma-is a country of many tribes, but practically all of them' are of the same racial strain. Shank, Karen's, Katchins, Chins - and Paintings are among those living -in the outlying parts of the country, though the Karens and to a certain extent the others are to be found In parts of lower Burma, a more heavily settled section which is most easy of access to. the outside world. .11,. is the Burmese, however, who constitute tlie dominant element with the highest culture, and give color to Burma as it is known to most westerners'who visit the land. The Burma of the Burmese, that is lower Burma and the basin of the great Irrawaddy river,-is a land of pagodas, the shrines of Buddhism.' Thousands upon thousands of these bell-shaped structures surmounted by gilded spires and tinkling bells have been built. Many of them have fallen Into decay, but others are built each year. They are the symbols of the hold which the Buddhist religion has upon the people of Burma. It is their belief that the surest way of “acquiring merit" and’ achieving holy rest after death Is to erect a pagoda; and very-few fiurinese who are'able to add to the country’s forest of pagoda spires fail to do so. No Aristocracy, Few Poor. There are no noble classes 'among, the Burmese, no aristocracy, few who are very wealthy, and few very poor. While the caste system as. a system does not exist in the country, there are several classes of people who are looked upon ns degraded by their vocations and with whom practically no Intercourse is had by the. majority of the people. Unfortunately, too, these classes are hereditary. They are the grave diggers, the descendants of the former pagoda slaves and the beggars. The'general attitude toward these unfortunates is one of tlie contradictions in Burmese character; and there are others. Their religion requires kindness toward animals, and Burmese will

not even become drivers of vehicles in cities because they feci that such a calling hntails a certain measure of cruelty of horses. Yet their attit-ude toward crippled and maimed humans is the height of unkindness. SuclT unfortunates are considered to be in the degraded classes along with tlie grave diggers and: the beggars,' and are denied association with the normal population. One custom among the Burmese that ■cottiVM*—f“il use>.- etnuuxent from westerners is the prevalence of smoking and the peculiar turn it. lifts ly' by men; ■'&£ arettesand cigars of a huge size are preferred, often a foot or more in length and with a circumference in proportion, Children of all' ages ps? ’ these gigantic “smokes,” -and it is .not uiuaspamon-- even, to see an .infant' in ;fihns' puffing away "at a. huge cheroot. 'The habifTsPhot as injurious as might be expected because : the tSbacco used Is adulterated with a considerable proportion of milder' materials. . t Their Marriage Customs. Marriage, in Burma Jgjupt tk, matter. '"of’greaT cS'emony or ritualism. Formally eating together, usually before witnesses, constitutes a couple man and Wife. Though the theory is otherwise, a girl usually selects her husband, and is given to him by her parents, If a bride' is dissatisfied With her husband she may run away from him and return to her parents. She is promptly returned by them, but may repeat tlie procedure. After -she has run. away three times and been returned three times, she may leave for SSqWj it being assumed that it is impossible for her husband to retain her. She is then In effect divorced; 1 The rule works the other way about also. If parents do not consider a suitor eligible and prohibit a niatchr tlie maiden has only to run away to him Three times, after which the parents must jot interfere, but must con--sider the- marriage a tiling accomplished. Where Burma touches Ind.ia proper on the latter’s eastern border, it is hounded by Bengal and_Assam. Farther to the north itfftnurhes southeastern Tibet. Along its Eastern border, Burma is in contact'With China for a considerable distance. The Chinese-at • one time claimed sovereignty over the land. The lower part of Burma’s eastern boundary is formed by French Cochin China and Siam; and .to -the south and west lies the Bay of Bengal. The total area of Burma is slightly less than that of Texas, our largest state, while its population s" in excess of 12JJ00,000, several million more than that of our most populous state, New York. Climate and Resources. The greater part of Burma is in the trdpics and during half the year much of it is very liot. This heat is especially trying to Europeans in parts of the delta region where the humidity is high. In some sections more than 20 feet of rain falls each year. There is eoftsiderabie loss of life among natives in some parts of the country from snakes, spiders, poisonous Insects and wild animals. Just as India has Its Simla to which officials and others journey in the hot season, so Burma has its hill stntion, only 42 miles from Mandalay, but nearly 2,4*00 feet higher. This sumijer capital makes It possible for Europeans to stnnd the rigors of the Burma climate. Burma’s mineral wealth has long madq, It one of the treasure houses of the Orient. One of the richest silver-zinc-lend ore bodies In the world is situated In the northeastern section. Mogok, a shortdistance north of Mandalay, largely supplies the world with rubles. Silver and precious stones were among the things most highly prized in the old East. But Burma also possesses modem treasures : tungsten, a necessity in an age of steel and electricity; tin, essential in performing the world’s sanitary work and in equipping Us households; and petroleum, the fuel of today.

Eat More Vegetables. Too much-cannot be said In favor of a larger.'-proportion of ..vegetables lit the diet of the American people. The English are considered -a nation of meat eaters, but it hasTieeiflhdvvrr that Americans eat more meat per capita than do the English. A certain amount-of meat in the diet is highly desirable, but this 'should always be balanced by a sufficient supply of vegetables. One of the reasons that many people have to a great extent cut vegetables from their diet is that they have been unable to get fresh vegetables and do not relish stale ones. The Individual home vegetable garden planted either in the back yard, or a convenient piece, of land, nosfe, only" solves the problem of. supplying the family with vegetables gt liny and in abundance, .but guarantees their freshness. ’ / 1 ?

When.it had got a little way Into the water It stopped ar.o remained perfectly still, as a heron might when fishing at home. Its glance was never once taken off the water. Suddenly It thrust Its head Into an oncoming wave, and reappeared with a large fish in its mouth. Quickly taking Us capture ashore It squatted down and made a hearty meal.
