While there is a considerable
amount of unrest In many parts of
Indln 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 arid
the economic situation flowing from
them undoubtedly have much to do
with this. Burma knows little of tlio
fear of famine or the pinch of poverty.
Its lands are productive, It Is Tlch In
mlncraTs, It Is not over-populated, arid
It Is free from the elaborate caste sys
tem which Is a tremendous hnndlcnp
to India, both socially and economi
cally. Kipling and practically all other writ
ers about the East have pointed, out
repentedly that It is difficult at best
for westerners to understand the ori
ental peoples. If thfe dbserver from
the West wishes to tacklejiils admit
tedly difficult .problem by easy stages,
perhaps hcTcould And no better place
to start than Burma. In a number of
senses there Is less of a gulf between
the ,llfeand customs o the Burniese,
nnd those of tho 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 and the diffi
culty of clinging to it. The higher
castes are sedate and given to specu
lative philosophy. .The Chinaman is
an' enigma. His emotions are difficult
to fathom. The people of the Mo
hammedan countries nre marked by a
quiet dignity.
The Burniese Love Life.
In contrast with these other peo
ples of Asia, and almost alone among
them, the Burmese are frank, open,
happy lovers of life. Their women
are not secluded, but are among the
freest women In the world. Both men
and women are lovers of music and
wenrers 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 arc of the
same racial strain. Shans, Karens,
Katchlns, Chins and Palaun'gs are
among those living In the outlying
parts of the country, though the
Karens nnd to . a certain extent
tho others are to be found In
arts of lower Burma, a more heav
ily settled section which is most easy
of access to the outside, wprld. It is
the Burmese, however, who constitute
tho dominant element with the high
est 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-shnped structures surmounted by
glided spires und tinkling bells have
been built. Many of them have fallen
Into decay, but others are built each
year. They are the symbols of tho
hold which the Buddhist religion has
upon Uie people of Burmu. It Is their
belief that the surest wuy of "acquir
ing merit" and achieving holy rest af
ter death Is to erect a pagoda ; and
very few Burmese who are able to
add to the country's forest of pagoda.
spires fall to do so.
No Aristocracy, Few Poor.
There are no noble classes ,umong
the Burmese, no aristocracy, few who
are very wealthy, and few very poor.
While the caste system as a system
hoes not exist In the country, there
pre several classes of people who are
looked upon as degraded by their vo
cations nnd with whom practically no
Intercourse is had by the majority of
tho people. Unfortunately, too, these
classes are hereditary. 'They are the
grave- diggers, the descendants of the
former pagoda slaves nnd the beggars.
The general attitude toward these un
fortuuutes is one of the contradictions
in Burmese character; and there nre
others. Their religion requires kind
nust townrd animals, and Burmese will

not even become drivers of1 vehicles (lh
cities becaitse they feel that such a
culllug entails a certain measure of
cruelty of horses Yet their nttltudo
toward crippled and maimed humans
Is the height of unkludness. Such un
fortunates are considered to be In tho
degraded clusses along with the grnvo
diggers and the beggars, and are de
nied association with the normal pop
ulation. One custom among the Burmese
that cannot fall to urouse comment
from westerners Is the prevalence of
smoking and the peculiar turn It has
taken. Smoking Is indulged In literal
ly by men, women and children. Cig
arettes and cigars of a huge slae aro
preferred,, often a foot or more In
length, and with a circumference in
proportion. Children of all ages use
these, gigantic "smokes,'"and It Is not
uncommon even to see an Infant In
arms puffing" nWay at a huge cheroot.
The habit Is not us Injurious as might
bo expected because the tobacco used
Is adulterated with a "Considerable pro
portion of milder materials.
-Their Marriage Customs.
Marriage In Burma Is not a mntter
of great ceremony or rltunllsm. For
mally, eating together, usunlly before
witnesses, constitutes 'a couple mnn
and Wife. Though the theory Is other
wise, a gH usually selects her hus
band, and Is given to him by her par
ents. If a bride Is dissatisfied with
her husband sho may run away from
him and return to her parents. She
is promptly returned by them, but may
repeat the procedure. After she has
run awny three times and been re
turned three times, she may leave for
good, It being assumed that It Is Im
possible for her husband to retnln her.
She is thon in effect divorced. "
The rule works the other way about
also. If parents do not consider a
suitor eligible and prohibit a match,
the maiden' hns only to run away to
hlra three times, after which the par
ents must not Interfere, but must con
sfder the marriage a thing accom
plished: Where Burmu touches India proper
on the latter's eastern border, it is
bounded by Bengal and Assam. Farth
er to the north It touches southeastern
Tibet. ''Along Its eastern border, Bur
ma Is. In contact with China for a con
siderable distance. The Chinese at
one time claimed sovereignty over tho
land. The lower part of Burma's
eastern boundary Is formed by French
Cochin China and Slam; and to the
south nnd west lies the Bny of Bengal.
The total area of Burma Is sllglitly
less than that of Texas, our largest
state, while Its population Is In excess
of 12,000,000, several million moro
than that of our most populous state,
New York.
Climate and Resources.
Tho greater part of Burma Is In the
tropics and during half the year much
of It Is very hot. This heat Is espe
cially trying to Europeans In parts of
tho delta region where the humidity Is
high. In some sections more than 20
feet of rain falls each year. There la

in some ipnrts of the country from
snakes, spiders, poisonous Insects and
wild animals. Just as India has Its

Journey. In the hot season, so Burma
has its hill station, Maymyo, only 42
miles from Mandalay, but nearly 2,400
feet higher. This summer capital
makes It possible for Europeans to
stand the rigors of the Burma cli
mate. Burma's mineral wealth has long
made t one of the treasure houses of
the 'Orient. One qf the richest sllver-zlnc-lead
ore bodies In the world Is sit
uated in the northeastern section.
Mogok, a short distance north of Man
dalay, 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 modern treasures : tung

SO WEAK

How Miserable This Woman Was
Until She Took Lydia E. Pink
ham's Vegetable Compound
Toomsboro, Ga. "I suffered terribly
wth backache and headache all the time,
was so weaK and ner
vous I didn't know
what to do, and could
notdomywork. My
troublo was deficient
and irregular peri
ods. I read in tho
papers what Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vege
table Compound had
done for others and
decided to givo it a
trial. I got good
results from its uso
bo that I am now ablo to do my work.
I recommend your Vegetable Compound
to my friends who have troubles similar
to .mine and you may uso these facta
as a testimonial." Mrs. C.F. Phillips,
Toomsboro, Ga.
Weak, nervous women make unhappy
homes, their condition irritates both
husband and children. It has been
said that nine-tenths of tho nervous
grostration, nervous despondency, "the
lues," irritability and backache arise
from Borne displacement or derange
ment of a woman's system. Mrs. Phil
lips' letter clearly shows that no other
remedy is so successful in overcoming
this condition as Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound.

What this reduction actually means is an increase t
in Hupmobile value that is worth far more than the re
vision in price.
The truth is that at its new price, and with its well
known economy, low repair costSj long life, and high
resale value, the Hupmobile stands forth today as the
best buy in the motor car market.

which the high quality of the Hupmobile" can be main
