ADVERSE WINDS SIEER BOAT TO ► CANNIBAL ISLE IH-Fated Party Happy to Find Natives Prefer Canned Goods. Bu United Prciis SYDNEY, Australia, Oct. 22.—Carried by contrary winds and currents, "light natives of New Guinea were recently carried more than 200 miles to another group of islands. They were adrift for a month with very limited supplies of food and water. The natives set out from Woodlark Island, off the northeastern coast of New Guinea, to return to their village on''Loughlin Island, a 'ew miles away. Their frail craft fln-rgrpeu by headwinds and a strong current, their short journey became one which must go down as an epic of the sea. Without Water How they managed tovive for a month in the canoe is a mystery, as their only food was a small quantity of meat and native vegetables. Water gave out after a few days, and the natives owed their lives to the fact that on several occasions rain fell and they were able to catch some water in the sails. Island sea-farers say that few I white men would have lived through Ihe ordeal. The canoe required skilful handling in the stiff breeze, and they could do nothing but hope that they would be carried to some island. Their frightful experience will never he known, for all the natives say Is that they had “plenty bad time.” They landed at an island which

they knew to be inhabited by cannibals rather than continue that awful Irift that meant certain and slow leath by starvation. They beached their craft at the island of Gella Gella, in the Solomon group, expecting every moment to see a horde of hungry cannibals swoop down on them with their carving implements and a stew-pot. But when the Gella Gella natives did come, they proved to be fonder of American tinned bruits than live human beings, and they tended the castaways carefully. Are Rescued Eater an island schooner rescued the natives, and took them to the port of Gizo, whence a steamer transported them to Sydney. After landing at Gella Gella, one of the eight natives, an old man, died, his experiences having proved too much for him, only one of the others could speak even pidgin English, and this is how he gave his version of the trip to an Australian reporter: “Big fella wind, him come along one time, wind he catch long boat (canoe), blow him —puff. Long boat no go where wanted. Him go long way big fella sea. Blme’by him come along Gella Gella, bad boy, Gella Gella boy. Tlnk him kai-kai (eat), but him no kaikai. Bime-by big sail boat (chooner) come along. Take ’um along Gizo. Then big fella steamboat, him come. Him bring ’um long way Sidnee.” After a few days in Sydney, the natives were taken back to their own island, where their relations had given them up as lost. Hence many of the village pigs were butchered to make a day of rejoicing. NO CORDS, TALKS WASHINGTON—Lieut. Col. Aristide Moreno is learning to talk without vocal cords. An operation about two years ago necessitated removal of the cords, and surgeons predicttd that he would be unable to talk. Now he is able to talk under standably, though he must enunciate very slowly.

MEN STILL BEST BARBER CUSTOMERS Indianapolis Man Admits, However, Flappers Contribute $150,000,000 to Annual Revenues.

Flappers of the country are boosting the barber business into the ranks of the billion dollar industries, N. S. Sherman of the Boncilla Laboratories, Indianapolis, told the national barbers’ supply dealers convention at Chicago this week. The bobbed~ hair craze with its fast changing styles has added more than $150,000,000 to the annual revenue of the tonsorial artists, who catered to more than 5,000,000 women last year, Sherman declared.

I think the women have revolutionized the trade.” Abandop Safety Razor Mori? and more men are abandoning the safety razor for the barber shop shaves Sherman said. “Each year a great Increase in the number of shaves is reported by barbers over the country. It is so handy. A man can walk into a barber shop and leave five minutes later with his beard removed.” Shermen rejoiced at the passing of the barbershop of former days where idlers sat about and traded risque stories.
