These are very interesting but it would take too long to tell you about them at this time Now, I will take a little time to tell you about some of the peculiar characteristics of India. The first of these | the sacred cow. In America, the term sacred cow is more or less of a joke, but in India it is no joking matter. The cow and bull are both ancred to the Hindus and no Hindus would ever dream of killing a cow India is literally full of cows, you see then wandering everywhere They wander unmolested on the roads and streets and through the public square in towns. In some parts of India the penalty for kill- ing a cow even by accident, may be as much as seven years in jall. Mon- keys and peacocks are also sacred “Another thing well wérth speak- ing about is shopping in India. A small storekeeper or trader at a ba- zaar in most cases will ask you more for his goods than he expects to get It is a kind of game and he =3pects you to bargain with him. He gx- pects to be beaten down anywhere | from two-thirds to one-third of his original price. Everyone bargains, that is everyone but the American soldier, who hasn't learned the game yet and who consequently gets play ed for a sucker : Another important subject is beg- gars. In India there are more beg- gars with more pitiful faces and misshapen bodies than at any other place in the world. If you give one of them, the next thing you know you have a dozen of them gathered around you who follow you wherever you go. I have found this out from experience. ! “What I have said about India in| | the preceding pages consists more or | less of generalizations. You under-' stand that I can't tell you about any specific section of the country as this may tend to disclose military infor. mation. However, I think the ac count that I gave you will give a | pretty fair idea of the mysteries of India, | “IT won't say whether 1 like or dis- like India, because my main object | “The money in India has ve rather confused for awhile, but I believe we are pretty well on to it now.
