FIERCE AFGHAN HILL MEN WAR ON CIVILIZATION Savage Tribes Ready to Die to Preserve Their Ancient Customs. BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Foreign Editor Srrlnps-Hoard Newspaper' WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.—Tire Afghans, amongst the fiercest people inhabiting the earth, already have had three kings in a week anH before the hubbub is over they may have one or two more. In Kabul, capital of forbidden and forbidding Afghanistan, that rocky a-ad mountainous kingdom situated between Russia and India, two revolutions, one within the other, have come to a head in the last few days. The main revolution which broke in the country outside the capital seems to have been bom of the terrible wrath of the native menfolk when they saw their women imitating their pulchritudinous Queen Souriya, King Amanullah’s wife, who last summer, while on a visit to Paris, decked herself out in the manner of the Rue de la Paix. That, and their determination not to let the king bring in a lot of new-fangled ideas he’d picked up during his tour of Europe. Second King Ousted The second upheaval was a sort of palace revolution. Prince Inayataullah, taking advantage of the general disorder, seized the throne for himself. He was the second king. The third is the rebel leader and former outlaw, Bacpa Sakao, which in the vernacular, means “water boy.” Not caring for this humble handle, he has proclaimed himself Habibullah Khan, which, freely translated, means “God’s darling governor.” Incidentally. Habibullah was the name of King Amanullah’s father. Amir, murdered in 1919. Nasrullah Khahn, the murdered man’s brother, succeeded the amir, but by a quick poup, Amanullah, the son, deposed him and took the throne himself. Amanullah and his wife are reported safe in Kandahar, South Afghanistan. Also Inaytaullah, king of four days. With the royal standard flying over the palace there, the brothers are reported as rallying their followers for a comeback. Other Nations Watch Meantime, both Moscow and London are watching events in Kabul with something more than casual interest. Afghanistan is Russia’s gateway to India and the future of Britain’s 300,000.000 Indian subjects depends to a considerable extent upon whether friend or foe sits upon the Afghan throne. Afghanistan is a trifle smaller than Texas. Though In about the same latitude as southern California, it is snowbound three months of the lear, owing to its situation in the Himalayan chain. It averages higher than Denver. The Afghan tribes number about 14,000,000 people, mostly Mohammedans. They are extremely warlike, clans fighting clans and families fighting families almost all the time. In a recent case two clans killed each other off until only a man on one side and a woman on' the other were left to carry on the feud Dressed as a boy, the woman went out after her man, and got him. May Maim Wife Although the men slaughter one another apparently on the slightest pretext, it is a disgrace for a man to lift his hand against a woman, even though she belong to a hated clan. A husband may strike his wife, however, if he catches her so much as talking with another man. According to tribal law, he even may cut off her nose and the man’s foot, but as he may not kill either, the husband frequently takes his wife to the nearest doctor for treatment and burns the stub of the man’s leg to prevent bleeding to death. Archeologists believe civilization marched past Kabul on its way from central Asia to Persia, Palestine, Greece and Rome. Thus it may be said that while progress • used Afghanistan as its corridor, it left, little trace of it behind. The women cover themselves from head to foot, even the little peepholes left for their eyes being filled with a lattice-work of lace. Abolishing the veil was one of the edicts which brought about King Amanullah’s fall. 375,000 Jars Vicks Now Produced Every 24 Hours That the public has not forgotten the lesson of 1918 is indicated by its prompt responses to the warning of health authorities to combat the flu by keeping free from colds. The demand for Vicks Vapoßub, the vaporizing salve which proved so valuable during the 1918 epidemic, has already shattered by a wide margin all previous records. Although the capacity of the Vicks laboratories has been tripled since 1918, they are once more operating night shifts. The present output is more than 375.000 jars every 24 hours. Mild though it is in comparison with 1918, this year's epidemic has already affected more than a million persons, and it is apparently still increasing.—Advertisement.

ASSEMBLY TO GET MANAGER BILLS TODAY Proposals to Amend Law Provide for Proportional Voting System. Amendments to the city manager law to provide the proportional representation system of voting for city commissioners in Indianapolis, and to make the manager form of government workable when it becomes effective here in 1930 were to be introduced in both houses of*the legislature this afternoon. The amendments do not change any of the vital provisions of the original city manager act of 1921, but their introduction may be the signal for the appearance of other amendatory efforts and possibly a proposal for repeal. Final draft of the bill, prepared by the Indianapolis City Manager League, was placed in the hands nf Senator Winfield Miller and Representative Frank J. Noll, Jr., who will sponsor it in the two houses. Council to Name Board One of the last changes made in the bill adds a city plan commission to the two compulsory departments formerly created by the city manager law, the departments of law and finance. This was necessitated, according to Claude A. Anderson, chairman of the league’s legislative committee, because the city plan commission operates under a special law and not under the general cities and towns act. Another important provision of the bill would give the city council,, instead of the Governor, authority to appoint the board of election commissioners for the first commis-sion-manager election. Thereafter the city commission would hold this power, A bill for re-enactment of a permanent registration law is in the hands of Senator Miller and Representative Zeola Hershey Misener, M'thigan City, ready for introduction. Decision to delay introduction of a bill seeking to create a separate board for the examination and licensing of chiropractors was reached Sunday at a meeting of the legislative committee of the Indiana Chiropractors’ Association, sponsoring the measure. May Amend Gas Law Forecasts of other legislative efforts included one of amending the gasoline tax law to facilitate collections and prevent tax dodging. Archie N. Bobbitt, auditor of state, is drafting tht bill which provides for registration of all wholesale gasoline dealers, inauguration of a delinqtient tax clause, reports by common carriers to the auditor of all gasoline deliveries and reports by refineries of all gasoline delivered untaxed to dealers. Budget committee members were understood to be considering asking a cent and a half tax levy to provide $750,000 annually for the buildmg programs of nineteen state benevolent and penal institutions. Appropriation demands by these institutions are so large that budget committee members may introduce a bill authorizing employment of an architect or engineer to make a survey of their building requirements.

Hero Knocking Break Bpoze Bottle Over Pedestal of Designer of Washington.

BY JOSEPH F. WASNEY, l/nited Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.—The popular pastime of knocking heroes from pedestals was in full swing today with Major Pierre Charles L’Enfant, Frenchman, generally known as the designer of the city of Washington as the target Charges made by Matthew Page Andrews, Baltimore historian, that Mr.jor L’Enfant lost his job as capital designer because of intemperance and a gay life vigorously were refuted by memberms of the National L'Enfant Memorial Association and Representative Hamilton Fish. New York Republican. Andres said Andrew Ellicott, Maryland, was the real designer of the city of Washington. This met severe criticism. The fight over vho is the real designer started when Representative Fish introduced a pending resolution to erect a $200,000 monument here as a memorial to L’Enfant. Opponents to the Frenchman believe Ellicott should be equally honored. Action will be prevented at this session. “Charges against Major L’Enlant are poppycock,” said John C. Wilkinson, executive secretary of the memorial association. “L’Enfant was a genius and the Maryland historian simply wants to glorify the ancestors of Ellicott. Ellicott. was a practical man who did help the Frenchman, but the major was an artistic genius and military engineer who drew the real design of the capital.” Dr. Richard S. Harvey, New York member of the association, said there was no doubt that Ellicott had a part in the work of designing Washington, but he merely assisted L’Enfant.
