1080 CHINESE BUDDHISTS
HAVE HOLES BURNED IN HEADS
CHAXGCHOW, Kiangsu Province
Sept., 1— Dr. John Dewey, American
exchange professor at the University
of Peking, visited Changchow recently
in the course of a mission lecture tour
of China, at a time when the city was
observing,a holiday, and 1,080 Chinese
Buddhists, becoming priests, suffered
holes to be burned into their heads as
a token of their religious vows.
t he holiday was a spontaneous af
t'ait arranged by a group of devotees
of the Changchow Buddhist monastery
then graduating a class of novices into
the priesthood. Chinese had come
from ail parts of the country in re
sponse to a call the monastery sent
out. The Buddhists at the same time
honored the victims of the Taiping
rebellion who were killed sixty years
a
ago.
The Buddhist ceremony of ordina
tion in China follows ancient lines
that are burbanc—the eyes of the
occidental—and this explains why the
shaven polls of the priests the travel
er meets are marked with deep-pit
ted scars. The novitiate is a matter of
forty days usually and at its close, as
• a climax of the temple ceremony, up
•a the shaved heads of lines of kneel
ing novices are placed lighted cones
of highly Inflammable incense. These

devout—those taking the “full vofc”—

Ot the 1,080 who become priests at
the lecent ceremony here, 822 took
the full vow while the others accept

HONOLULU, T. H., Sept., 1— Harry
Pidgeon, of Wilmington, Cal., recently
sailed a thirty four foot yawl single

NEW MEXICO RESIDENTS
WANT STATE NAME CHANGED
ALBUQUERQUE, N. M., Sept., 1
New Mexican residents hfcve started
Smother move to change the name of
the state, in order, they say, to con
vice easterners that New Mexico is one
of the United States and NOT a part
of the republic south of the line Pro
moters of the scheme hope to carry it
to the state legislature.
Many easterners evidently do rot <
know where New Mexico is on the
map. Oftep, when there is trouble in
Mexico, miles below the border, New
Mexico residents receive telegrams
and letters from eastern relatives and
friends asking if there is danger.
Postoffice officials say letters some
times arrive from the east bearing
foreign stamps and marked "By way
of the Panama Canal.”
Native born citizens may oppose
the move to change the name as they
fear the step would destroy the state’s
rich history.
