CLIMATE. IN INDIA

•
In an airgraph letter from Flt. -
:Sgt: Alex' Smith of the Indian
Command, to his parents, Mr. and
Mrs: "J. J. Smith, he refers°w•to:=-a
week - spent in the hospital .and
added,' that he wouldn't have
rtiinded another :.week just. to laze
around. The trouble is he. said,.
?`I'm getting. too fat and want to
do nothing but laze 'all the time.
I. hope; though, that it is "only the
climate" • .
Alec's' letter continued: "The
Indians have the idea. They take
life very easy. If they are •tired
they. lay down by the side of the
read, or wherever they 'are, and
sleep: They eat when .hungry, no
matter the tithe. if one doesn't
feel like working, tomorrow will
dq just as well. Such is the; life,
apparently, of the large floating
population of Ind'ia,. mostly beg-
gars, or coolies. {I
"They drift from job' to job
and from birth to' the funer-
al prye. One -gets born, one begs
or works, or does•' both; one dies.
It doesn't matter much where,
"Of course, that is buta small
part of ' the millions ''of India:
There is the vast fixed popula-
tion •who make the conglomera-
tion of villages, interspread with'

a large part of . the country. And
then there ale -the hill people and
the less cornmon, independent

"It :.is really an 'interesting
country, when one can scrape.up.
enough energy to be interested.
"You will haves, heard of the
Madras flood. I am thankful I'
wasn't in it, What a rain it was.
and then, to cap it all, came the.
first air raid I have experienced.
in India. It niade•'one realize that
