Mahatma Gandhi, India's peaceful revolutionist, set forth afoot today at the head of a small band of devoted followers, one of the strangest but most gripping pilgrimages of Indian history.

Lining the way, massing in the fields, marching with the vanguard, were fully 100,000 Hindus, who had flocked to Ahmedabad during the past week to cheer him on the way. As Gandhi came from the Ashram with his volunteers, a mighty shout arose from a crowd which stretched in every direction. Several simple cere monies preceded the pilgrimage.

One of the most touching was the "bless ing" of the marchers by enthusiasts who broke cocoanuts and gave the meat to tiie pilgrims, or who threw ru pees to them in benediction and as a sign of their hope for fruitful results. An Indian woman then presented Gandhi a horse the horse that will accompany the expedition "if any man should fall sick and have to be carried." First halt was to be at the village of Aslali, not far from Ahmedabad, which Gandhi hoped to reach tonight. It was generally believed Gandhi would be arrested immediately upon reaching the Kalra district, 12 miles from Ahmedabad.

ALL COLLIERIES IDLE TOMORROW AA11 collieries of The Pittston Co.l will be idle tomor row, ASSEIOFANYCITV, "Greater Pittston has 3,000 boys who need attention, in order that they should be developed into useful citizens. Their potential value is $18,000,000, or more than the real estate value of the community. Here is the job that awaits the Rotary Club and other ser vice organizations of the community." This was the definite proposal put before the Pittston Rotary Club today in a splendid talk on boys' work by A. H. Fahringer, of Scranton, 'who Is head of the Big.

Brother Movement in that city. Mr. Fahringer Is giving his life to the work of helping boys who need guidance and help, and out of his large experience in handling boys be took the material for one of the finest dttresses "ever given before the Ro tarians. He put the boy problem before the club as it had never been put be fore, and impressed the men with the great need for definite work in aid of boys who need guidance. The chief resources of a city, said Mr.

Fahringer are the ability to produce men. Every boy should have a chance to work ont his destiny. The boy Is a big asset, and he is a big problem, too. Getting the boy is the best way to prevent crime. In this work much depends on leadership.

The youth of the criminals of this country Is appalling. Most of these boy criminals 'come from broken up homes. Truancy irom ecnooi is the first danger signal. Permitting adult criminals to ko unDun lshed is one of the encouragements of criminal tendencies In boys. A small percentage of adult criminals actually gei punishment.

Boys note this and think they can get away with wrong comg too. It pays to prevent crime. Boys' or ganizations such as the Scouts, the Y. M. C.

A. and the Y. M. Ii A. are doing splendid work along this line.

Onlv one boy in a thousand of those who have been members of these organizations ever get into trouble. This proves how wen pays to work with bovs. Out of his experience of many years in dealing definitely with boys who need guidance, Mr. Fahringer gave numerous specific examples to show the Kina on worlc the Bin Brother Mm ment is doing and how. it pays to help me ooys.

iwys who have been taken out of unwholesome environment have been trained and educated not only in scholarship, but also in morals and nave, raceme useful Mr. Fahringer stressed the point that it is not sufficient for a man to give his money In aid of work for boys. The personal contact is the imnortant thin Friendship and love are the big factors in winning the confidence of a boy. There is just as much satisfaction and Joy for man who gives himself to una wore as there is help for the boy. Scores of the most prominent business men of the city cf Scranton are m.

sonally taking boys under their guidance wra neipmg inem into lives of usefulness. This kind of work pays big dividends. The speaker urged the Rotarians to make a survey of Pittston to find out how many boys in the community need assistance as a start in this work of helping them.
