lIITEIBTIIIt UTTER ram from mu The following very, interesting letter was received by Dr. and Mrs. W. A. Price from their daughter in .India: Madura District, South India February Bth, 1028 Dear home folks; — Hello everybody! ' We have been observing health week over here in the Madras Presidency and having all sorts of Tamoshes. On Saturday

! afternoon sports were held for the girls here on our compound. There was a stone picking race, a needle ; threading race, musical chairs, carrying a lime on a chip race, etc. All the girls from the Nadar school and the day school (Hindoo) as well is the girls from the town > were all e.i----1 gible to compete in the ijaces. Our i boarding school girls carried off most |of the prizes. The sports for boys I were held over at the Nadar school ; oh Saturday mcining and our boavd- | ing' school boys carried off a goodly I number of prizes. On Sunday morn- ! ing all the babies of tie town were treated to a hath. Title werp something like 100 babies present and al were given MUle silk dresses. The prize babies were awarded especially fine silk dresses. On Saturday night the/ showed slides on the screen concerning different prevalent diseases in India. Sunday afternoon Bryan and I were invited to have tea with the President of the Taluk I board, the president o's the union board, the sub. police inspector, and another police inspector. The tea was coffee and tasted very flne indeed. At functions of this sort none of their ladies are present so I was the only woman. 1 must say that these men were very nice to talk to for they are well educated and speak very fine English. In fact coming in contact with these well educated persons and talking to them has been good for my English for you know it would be an insult almost to use slang as we. often have done at home. It is also necessary to enunciate clearly so I suppose when we come home you will think that I have become very precise. Our tea consisted of cuddely which is a sort of puffed rice fried, a plantain, a hall of some sort of delicacy made of various Usings and hot chillies. Needless to say one bite was enough for me. Another small ball was some sort of sweets made of honey. and it was very delicious. After tea was over we took our chairs out and sat under the trees a while. This tea was held in the - travelers bungalow which is just across the road from our compound. In a short time we went to the ceremony which was held for the presenting of anew and fine street lamp to the town by the president of the union hoards. This consisted of much speech making and of giving rose mollies, sprinkling rose water over all present and passing the sandal wood perfume. The new. light was decorated profusely .with huge plantain leaves and paper decollations of all colors. It was yery nice to come in contact with- the elite of the town only I would have preferred | to see their ladies. In the big cities like Madura the women folk always | come -to the big functions but they: are more reserved out in the smaller! c.enters. Last Tuesday we attended an Indian Christian wedding. The ceremony was in the church and then we ! went with the bridal party home to help celebrate. They had fixed a temporary pandall or room out of bam ! boo poles and matting over the whole | street directly in front of the house.! On one side of this a temporary throne was fixed for the bride and! groom. Here they sat while songs and toasts were rendered for their bene-1 fit. The bride hunguher head duyng the whole thing. 1 am glad tfl say that j she looked to be 18 or 20 and that is !

No matter how much care you exercise every now and then you get grease daubs on your clothes and they are put out of commission for the , time being. Phone us to call for the suit as soon as you can and with our modern dry cleaning process we will remove the spots and return your clothes looking as fresh and as good as new.

far better than the child marriages of hindoo faith isn’t it? After the singing ’and toasting was- over the gifts were presented to them. Rose water was sprinkled over the whole crowd and cocoanuts, betel nut and leaves with which to -chew the betel were to each guest. I am interested that the Reading i Circle are studying Stanley Jones’ book "The Christ Qf the Indian Road.” He is a man very milch honored and revered injndia by all people. He is in the Methodist mission up in north India.. He was asked to accept the Bishopship of that conference but he refused saying that he tvould not be able to carry on his evangelistic work. While we were living in Pasumalai he came there for a conference which was being held for Indian leaders to give a series of lectures. We entertained him in 'our home just for a short time. He took breakfast with us. It was when Bobby was only five months old. M r - Jones said "Nothing can fake the place of a baby in the home” as he looked at Bobby and held his finger down which Bobby grabbed immediately an*) evidently thought he had found a very nice plaything. On February third, the day when the Simon Commission arrived in India, Hartel was observed Everywhere. Everything closed until four thirty in the afternoon even the busses and bandys did not travel. There was quite a mob spirit in Madras so the papers say. Most people think it is just a demonstration which will not amount to anything. With love to you all, Freida.

WORLD LEADERSHIP

THE genius that wins leadership never rests. By the time others have struggled to heights attained by leaders, the leaders have blazed trails to new accomplishments. The Maytag Aluminum Washer for five years stood without a rival. Then came the New Maytag, as far in advance of the times as the former Maytag was five years before. The big Maytag factory is now turning out 1400 washers a day. The unmatched speed and thoroughness which characterized the Maytag of former years has been enhanced by many noteworthy features, in the New Maytag. Important among them is a Soft Roller Water Remover which hugs every fold of the clothes. Both the soap and water are extracted evenly—delicate buttons and filmy laces go through unharmed.
