Persians and emigrated to India on the conquest of their country by Arabs they in the eighth century and incidentally they constitute the richest nation in the world. "My father, Dorubji Saklatvala, was a Parsee priest, and when a boy I was sent to another priest for iii struction in the tenets of that faith, said Mr. Saklatvala, "A beggar among the Parsees i unknown in India and would be scandal to the sect.

The sagacity activity and commercial eutei'prise the Parsees are in the East, and tfceir credit as merchants is almost unlimited. Because of intermarriage the race has dwindled' down to seventy-live thousand, and foi some time there has been a serious difference'among the Parsees on the question of proselytism. A Parsee married a "French who took the necessary steps to adopt the religion of her husband. But it was decreed by.the high court of India that though the creed of Zoroas- ter theoretically admitted proselytes, ther admission was not consistent with the practice of the Parsees in India. "This narrow view is what has to be broken down," continued Mi-.

Sale-' latvala. "The Parsees still hold thn.f one must.be born into that faith ami say that those who seek admission are people who wish to participate in the great wealth of the nation. The priestly office is hereditary, and no one can become a priest who was not born such; but the son of a priest may become a layman, as in my case. for the priesthood, so as to get my name in' the lineage register of the nation. have married wonderful American woman, but live by 1 teachings of Zoroas- ter, which religion may be summarized in a' sentence, "Good thoughts.

It could have been river, a lake or a mountain, but mountain is too large to bo put in a temple, so we have something that lire that burns overlust- ngly. The prayers are not to the lire, but to God, for our doctrine is lure monotheism." The Parsees in India, are nuicli nore liberal in their treatment of vbraen than any other Asiatic nice; allow them to appear freelx iii public and leave' them the entire management of household affairs. "Every day Sunday with the followers of Zoroaster," lie responded to a question."

Captain Terrill E. Price, aide to Charles H. Muir, commander of the-Ninth Corns of the Unite States Army, has trisected an angle with dividers and righ tangled ruler. Ihe announcement was made by General Muir, following reports Uiat an Eastern i mathematician had. so.lv,- ed the "liroUlem, "but want not to -announce his method." Capva.iu Price is a University of Pennsylva- uia Jrouor student in mathematics.

Price has not only effected a solution of. the problem, his din grams and particulars of Uis achievement' are 011 (lie with the war department, General Muir ad. Briefly here is Captain Price's solution: To trisect an'angle with end light-angiert riUer: Draw tangents Us sides at equal distances from the angle. Measure the distance from the. side bl' the anglo to tlie intersection of the tun- geuts.

Lay off twice this distance, on line and trisect it. (IJs- the regular geometric mcf.hw.l 'or dividing a straight line into any given number ol! parts.) Lay off the resulting thinl on each tangent separately, measuring from the side of the angle''toward the intersection of the tangents. Connect the angle with the two thus obtained by straight lines. Trisect the chord from the bases of the tangents already drawn and draw straight lines from ti'Jsoc- tion points to the angle. Bisect the second and fourth of the five angles now formed from the original -Angle-.

bisecting lines will trisect the original angle. To prove the result correct. Lay oil' equal distances from the- angle on its sides and the. trisecting lines. Connect'the nearest lines at these paints with Tlio result will be triangles whose sides have been, constructed equally, and whose bases will bo found to be orjual by actual measurement.

Therefore I he throe triangles are' equal taken together form the. oriK- inal triangle, the original angle has been trisected. SAVE WHILE YOU PAY! l- WASHERS uOO 10 'si Grotjan's Repair Shop.
