Head-Hunters’ ' Life is Described *• ■ ?

< Chief of South American Tribe Presents Foe’s Skull to Doctor’s Wife. New York.—When Dr. and Mrs. Herbert S. Dickey recently visited New York following a nine months’ trip through the jungles of South America they brought with them a mumndtied head and apparent disillusion regarding the romanticism of head-hunting. A chieftain presented the head to Mrs. Dickey as a token of respect for medical services rendered by her husband. Doctor and Mrs. Dickey left Guayaquil, Ecuador, tn which state Doctor Dickey is a practicing physician, October 25. 1925. and were nine months on the trip. They first of ail crossed the Andes, and then traveled about 300 miles on foot, Mrs. Dickey, the first white woman to attempt the journey, being carried tn a chair strapped to‘ Indians' backs. Reaching the Napo river, Doctor Dickey bought two mahogany canoes for $24 and the party paddled and shot rapids l.tkM* miles to the Amaxon. Then followed a 2.000-mile trip down the Amazon to Para. Brazil. Live in Primitive Fashion. Doctor Itickey said the South American head-hunters live in scattered and small tribes.. They exist in primitive fashion, and. contrary to (mpular belief, will not disturb whites as long as they are left alone. He thought a large band might be attacked, for there is still a memory of the rubber and slave days, but a tew traveling through would not be disturbed. He nimself spent six weeks in the encampment of u head-hunting chieftain, and was able to take pictures of the entire proross of mummifying a dead I enemy’s features. His direct acquaintance with the chieftain began over a snake bite, he • said, and went on to state that, again contrary to popular belief; there are j not many snakes in the jungles. One evening the party stood on the bank of a swollen river and were wonderI Ing how to cross. An Indian came with the statement that a sick man was lying on the ground a little distance behind them, so the physician took his kit and went to see what was the trouble. He found a* head hunter suffering with snake bite, treated him and then, on Invitation, accompanied the warrior to his encampment Almost the prize which was shown him was the body of a downriver warrior named Anguashi who had been killed not long before and whose head was then being treated for display purposes. During his stay at the village L>octor Dickey watched the method used in hardening the tiesb and shrinking it to about a sixth of the .normal sixe. When Anguashi had been fully treated. Doctor Dickey said, the chieftain gave it to Mrs. Dickey as a token of respecL He added that they left early the next morning so that the donor would have no time to take the rather unpleasant trinket back. Women Ara Slovenly. As for South American head-hunt-era in general, he said, they speak no language he had heard, and the one they use is composed, it seemed, almost entirely of grunt.*. The men are well built in a strong and sturdy way. he continued, while the women were slovenly and tawdry looking.

LINK GRASSHOPPERS OF WEST TO BIBLE LOCUSTS A, — —

■ Insects That Harass Crops In California Similar to Those That Afflicted Egypt Washington.—The plague of grasshoppers now threatening the grain region of northern California is made sp of Insects similar to the plague of ocusts that afflicted Egypt In the jays of Moeen True locusts are all winged grasshoppers. In seasons favorable to their hatching they often ippear tn dense swarms, following a jefinlte line of march, or rather of light, and destroying every green thing that lies before them. Officials of the bureau of entomol>gy of the United States Department jf Agriculture state that while the present California outbreak may be a little more severe than usual, it is by no means an isolated or unusual event. Every year there is more or I less of a grasshopper problem in the

Among the head-hunting tribes the cause of casualty is usually a woman, he said. A tyarrlor from one tribe will visit an adjoining encampment and steal a vise. She usually goes without much resistance, but her brothers —and former husbands —immediately pursue, steal some of the captor’s wives) and kill as many in the rival /ribe as they are able. " It is considered quite a feat, he added, for the raiding party to cap •lure the original thief alive and take him back 4ith them. Torture of the most savage kind is then the next thing progrum. and after the victim is dead, his head is treated, made smaller, and then worn as a macabre necklace. After a woman is captured by a rival tribe she is immediately set to work. Between snatches of manual labor She brings up the children and cares for the dogs which run wild all through the encampment. As she gets older it is the woman, strangely enough, who becomes the distillery, chewing the yuca plant and making the mash, which, when fermented, forms a highly intoxicating drink. When asked as to the weapons used by the head-hunters. Doctor Dickey replied that they were blow-guns and darts poisoned at the point. He smiled and added that the poison on the darts was for the must part manufactured in Hamburg, Germany, and found its way Into the middle of the forests by a succession of merchants and Itinerant traders. Shaft to Honor Yankee Dead of Canadian Army Washington.—Selection of a site in Arlington cemetery for a monument to be presented by Canada to the Amer lean government in commemoration of Americans killed In the World war while serving with Canadian units was begun rhe other day by a commission from Ottawa. The monument will be known as “The Cross of Sacrifice.** The delegation [consisted of Col. H. C. Osborn of the Canadian department of national defense, and Ernest H.

Barefoot Pupil Sent Home, Returns Glorified San Francisco. —A barefooted boy in overall® still can have all the education be wants in the public schools of a modern city.

>— —I — —— California grain belt, at about the time when the wheat is in the “dough” stage of ripening. The half-hardened grains seem to represent the grasshoppers* idea of the ideal food. The grasshoppers hatch tn the spring from eggs laid In the ground during the previous fnll. Eggs laid in plowed land are of course exposed to the weather and destroyed; but alfalfa fields normally stand for a number of years without plowing, and these make favorable beds for the hoppers’ eggs. It is emphasised that the report of “seventeen-year locusts." that spreads abroad whenever there is an outbreak like the present one, has nothing whatever to do with grasshoppers. The Insects commonly called seven-teen-year locusts are really seventeenyear cicadas, and are much more nearly related to squash bugs than they are to grasshoppers.

I TRY THIS | 4 By EDNA PURDY WALSH ❖ t $ Protecting Shoes With Tire Patches ij FOR the summer pump of thin soles and small heels tire patches make excellent protectors for both heels and tips where the wear Is first shown. If a small triangular piece of rubber patch Is applied to the pointed tip of the sole the leather tip above will look neat more than double the time. Satin-covered wooden heels and leather heels can be adequately protected from wearing over by cutting these tire patches to the shape of theheel and cementing onto the heel. Some fire patches have a dement already on them which will adhere to leather and wood. If the patch doe» ’ not stay on solidly, a cement made of* gutta percha in carbon bisulphide will’ unite the rubber and leather. Theedges of both rubber and leather should first be roughed by a sharpglass edge, and after the cement has been applied they should be pressed and held together. A tool chest vise will serve as a press. If the heel is of wood, a cement of gum rubber soaked In a small quantity of naphtha or gasoline is the best to use. These thin rubber heels and toe protectors are very long wearing. While not as springy as ordinary rubber heels they do not change theshape of the heel. Coat Hangers From Magazines EXCELLENT coat and dress hangers can be made from mediumsized magazines which have been read, by rolling them and tying in the center firmly with string or ribbqn. They serve as a good padding to the tailored coat so that it does not lose ita shape at the shoulders. The small-sized magazine covered with a pad or single layer of.prettyin cretonne Is an excellent protector for I 1 Ht! < I the dining-room table against hot dishes, coffee pot. etc. A very quick way to warm a cold bed for an invalid is to keep magazines on the radiator during the day, and when retiring time comes a few of these put iuto the bed will quickly warm it, doing a more extensive piece of work t&an the old-time hot iron. Paper holds its heat for a considerable period and makes an excellent insulation against cold. Excellent paper “coal - " for the stove may be made by soaking old magazines or paper in water and shaping into balls to dry. (©. I»2T. We,tern Newspaper Union.)
