Accepting an invitation previously extended by Prof. Jesse J.

We met with the president of thirty years of continuous service as most worshipful grand secretary of the Church and Accepted Masons of Texas.
Due to illness of my wife, which neared an on-eyed train Thursday night, we were not afforded the opportunity to present to McDonald as program manager of Waco and Master of Ceremonies J. J.

Three public programs were held Thumbnail: McDonald, who has served as grand secretary of the Texas Mason's for thirty consecuent years, and McDonald, who has solubly connected with the manhattan growth of the order during these tribals. Tribute after tribute was paid this incomparable leader by speakers from all sections of the state, as well as by Colonel Roscoe Cockling Simmons of the Texas Mason's for thirty consecutive speakers, who has a host of friends and admirers in the Lone Star State. The stellar feature of the anniversary celebration, and he literally swept the huge audience off its feet, related to a recent contribution this noted Texan has played in the history and progress not only of race and Texas. Anies from the many beautiful bouquet of flowers presented Mr. McDonald, who has published a very attractive book giving the history of the Texas Mason's and banker, particularly as it relates to the Mason order.

BANK OFFICIALS GIVEN RELEASE LATEST REPORT
Memphis, Teann, —(ANP)—Reports that A. F. Ward, Leroy Williams and E. J. Rasbier, officers of the defunct Solvent and Fraternal Bank, who were involved in the years respectively in prison for embezzlement, had been released from prison after serving about one year have given rise to many ugly rumors which were circulated when the indictment was made. These rumors are to the effect that the failure of the bank was the outcome of a distinct conspiracy between white interests and the officers of the bank to bring about the extinction of the bank. The bank was also accused as an indication of too much economic independence. When the officers of the bank were sentenced it was also rumored that they would not serve the allotted time and that the bank would have been released, it is the consensus of opinion that powerful forces have been working in their behalf and those who instigated the rumor knew that the other defendants regarded that the other defendants regarded as less culpable who were awaiting appeals will never be imprisoned. Solvent and Fraternal Bank resulted from the merger of two banks, alleged to have been suggested by the institution was considered one of the strongest banks owned and operated out to the financial world as a result of its failure came as a distinct shock not only to the stockholders and depositors but to the financial world as a whole.

For more than a month we have been in Arkansas and Texas, in some places where we no longer know where no member of my clan ever beet in feet. For most of these places we were led; but in some of them the leaders were忙; in some of them the leaders men with fear. All the more honor to the brave among them, I have been able to see some things that would tax creditivity.
In one Arkansas town, when we were only four men and we were only four men and we were only four men, they had been simply afraid to advertise the meeting, or the people we six people talked the matter over, as to the lawfulness and reasonable conduct on the part of a minority and weaker people for self-defense and legal defense from each of the other five there present. And to show you what they were talking about, we talked between eleven dwellers that night and eight o'clock next morning before my office and in my last half hour in the town we enrolled and effected a considerable number of permanent meetings to get up the "mass" meeting at which five appeared the day before.

DuBois Believes Negro Race Has Opportunity In U. S .Political Life
PAGE SIX—FIRST IN COMPLETENESS
Chicago, III.—(ANP)—Although the United States of America is conducting the greatest experiment in popular government, there is less use of it than in other countries. Americans than by the citizens of any first-rate country in the world to date, asserted Dr. W. E. B. DuBois editor of the Crisis, before delegates to the recent Fact-Finding Conference in Washington, D.C., the "Average American does not know nearly as much about the political life of the nation as the average knew fifty years ago," Dr. DuBois wrote. "Over hundred years he will be totally ignorant of the real way the government is carried out." Some of the responsibility for this ignorance is placed upon the press of America, for the editor continues to insist that the nation's governing force is the people who own the newspaper and distribute news, opinion, in all sorts of forms, do not want the people in the United States to know any too much about the political organization of the United States.
CHICAGO NEGROES
KNOCKED HARLEM,
RACE PRODUCTION
(For the Associated Negro Press)
As this is written, "Harlem," that colorful drama of a phase of which New York Negrose lead, is putting in its last days in Chicago. The theater, a man, a young colored man, and in collaboration with Wm. Joonan Rapp, has reasonable success. He followed after repeated misunderstandings because who felt they were undergird and the producer, Edward Blatt, had grown to such proportions that Blatt knew early favor with which New York, or Broadway, viewed the production was sufficient to inspire the men behind it to it a second comedy and went afterwards to Chicago. This company with Andrew Bishop, the director, Vivian Babae, was to have found, Vivian Babae, was to have found, it did commendable business in the large Majestic Theater in the Windy
"Harlem" belongs in the class of "Harlem" attractions has been their approach of attraction has been coarseness that was on the borderline of indulgence. It was of the "Diamond Land" genotype. When it reached Chicago it was so bad that the detective "Diamond Lil" look clean which was not merely exaggeration, but intrust. The characters that were coarser than "Harlem" were one of these, "Frankie and Johnie" was closed by the Chicago police who supervised the run of "Diamond Lil". Soon after the demolition of the two buildings, the wind off, the protecting arm was reached out after "Harlem", and the producer was informed that "the whole commissioner reported that he be carried numerous people, the project expired of some of its time and the dancing was permitted to continue, but the dirty work has been done, and it is now preparatory."
It is interesting to note that he complied against "Harvard" and the show in any great number, did plenty of protesting because he was a liberal, and reflected upon the Negro. One of the principal persons who to be heard was the activist and by these attacks, was the affable Chapile Garden, who, a part in the publicity representatives. Chapile is an empowerment out to take the best seats, but they withhold themsebs and write mean words. He was birthed from New York that he didn't care, that Negro could be a slave.
an opportunity for the directors of the Fast-Finding Committee to organize a study of political organization in New York, with the Negro and be extended to include the effect of such organization before coming to the conference. Before coming to the conference, Dr. DuBois had sought to obtain information to political organizations in number of cities—New York, Buffalo, Philadelphia, and Richmond, Va. New York and Chicago were held up as cities in which the Negro had the power to organize political organization. In both cities, it was pointed out, Negro cities hold offices, workhours, and share in the underworld profits that come to them. The Negro community notes a growing tendency on the part of the American people to make a difference that the jobs they get attract Negroes and to the editor to explain the gro's alignment, especially in Chicago, with the anti-fractions in

Many of Foster's Chicago friends are unable to be able that this determined man was realized a little on dreary until he was waved for many, many years. Foster has had a long and interesting background during the days when he was with Peter Jackson in England and later when he was sighted in the show boxes on Broadway. He came to Chicago, knew the Pekin players and colored motion pictures when he embanked for the Pekin players was one of the closest friends of Flourie Miller.

timed times. Where are you going to put your knife and say where you are going to break in your mortality? Are they going to be part of the Thompson machine and that machine is running Chicago, and when you do you won't get anything essentially different. What does groes? It says you should be adhanced to stand in with this combination known as the Thompson machine, and the Negro do not say, but they jobs is there any other way to get jobs in the city of Chicago? You cannot do that only way these jobs were distributed through machine politics. You cannot conceive of Chicago to choose between Dever and Thompson. You cannot conceive of Chicago to choose between Dever and Thompson. You cannot conceive of Chicago to choose between Dever and Thompson. Why don't they do something? They don't do anything because the politician's public party is bound up with business, and they don't want to disturb the public party is bound up with business, and they don't want to disturb the public party is bound up with business, where is it going to stop?"
Information obtained from Buffalo is not significant, but that from the two larger cities such important information ought we get out of this?" and then proceed to answer his own question.
"In the first place we should make it perfectly clear as to what political parties like the American Negro. Should investigate and tell the truth. Should light on the political life of the United States. I do not know anything about it, but I do know that he deserted, then you could begin reorganizing. I should get a few people in a 12,200 job there is no reason why a political organization should not keep people in better health than they are in the political. It could be done. It is simply a matter of application. It should not be white or that kind of thing can be done. The only way political parties can be successful is in great corporations or rich men. That is done and puts the power of the Democratic Party in the hands of these men." The course, it can say, from the defense anticipates a political leadership men. Now the larger political parties can exercise a decisive influence upon the way that the Negro can be a way to get employment, as has been largely the case in the northern cities during last few years.

HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, JUNE 29, 1929
HOUSTON SPECIES "SOCIAL EQUALITY"
Our local white publications are ranting, snorting and chanting at the local church of Howe树 tea party, attended by Mr. Owen DePriest, spouse of the Illinois colored congressman, we wish to cite their attention to a local incident which has just as much, if not more, of the so-called "social equality" complex than the recent White House incident.
During the recent Juneteenth celebration at Emancipation Park (and this practice has been in vogue for the past several years), not only did several members of the "superior race" go to the barbecue table and eat beside Negroes, but these local Nordics even pushed Negroes away from the table, devoured all the meat they ate, and married away over 100 pounds of barbecue according to some of the colored eye-witnesses.
Yet some white people are always contending that Negroes are seeking and desiring the intermingling of races, and we have never heard of Negroes attending a white celebration and carrying on in this manner.
In fact, instances are few and far between in North Negroes attempt to force their presence upon white people, yet Negroes can not stage any kind of event unless there are many whites present, some invited, but most of them uninvited; and they will eat and feast with Negroes at such occasions and think nothing of it.
Already, can't it funny how white Southerners will protest meat and denounce what they term "social equality" and yet will eat in the same dinner or sleep in the same Pullman with Negroes after crossing the far-famed Mason and Dixon line?
But, as in the case of the Juneteenth barbecue and celebration at Emanipation park every June 19, scores of whites will even eat with Negroes right in the South, and never give the "social equality" aspect of the intermingling one moment's thought or consideration!
However, it is to be deplored that these local "social equality" whites stick to the Juneteenth barbecue and picnic in such large numbers annually, and eat and carry away so much of the barbecued meats that many Negroes do not get as much as a sandwich.
Instead of directing their journalistic shots at the White House, deprecating so-called "social equality" between the two races in Washington and other distant points, and predicting racial clashes and resultant bloodshed, we wonder why these Houston publications and trate Nordics do not center their fire upon game at the range of the Negroes, making it possible for Negroes in day barbecues without being pushed away from the table by greedy and hungry whites who are so quick to forget the "color line" when delicious barbecued meat is the main feature on the bill of fare.
When it comes to certain phases of this Dixie "social equality" buncombe, what some of our white neighbors do along this and other lines speaks in such thunderous tones that we can not hear their protestations, denunciations, invectives and excorrations.
MORE ABOUT MRS. BROWN'S ARREST
Despite the fact that the case against Mrs. R. V. Brown, local female news vendor of color, was dismissed last week in corporation court, The Informer considers the incident grave enough to warrant additional editorial discussion; not with a view of agitating the matter, but to correct some views apparently held by some Houston's white police officers township, colored officers when her case was called Tuesday of last week, one of the arresting officers appeared as a witness against her and informed the judge that the race woman "was selling a paper barred from Houston during the World War."
In this connection, the officer was grossly mistaken, for no Negro newspaper was barred from circulation in this city during late war; and, as a matter of fact, neither the department nor the city had any jurisdiction from local circulation, either during martial or peaceful times, as long as the federal government permits said publication to employ the United States mail for distribution and circulation.
Of course, we realize that certain despotic city officials and police officers can frighten some Negroes and demand that they read certain race papers (as was done in several Texas and Southern communities immediately after the war) this is American history and such high-handed, autocratic and caricatistic methods will not work in this country, not even in the heightened corners of "Bam."
Aprepos of Mrs. Brown's arrest for alleged "selling Negro newspapers to white people on Main Street," it appears that many of our people here are in gross ignorance of their rights, or they are such beauty cowards that they consider themselves Negro on Main downtown street; for it has been told to The Informer that some of our spineless and pussy-faced bipeds of color have been heard to remark that this colored woman "had no business on Main Street," and such tommytrot. Why. Main Street belongs to all citizens of Houston, and a Negro, even a Negro woman, has as much right to sell race newspapers on Main Street or any other street as white people or any
For nearly morn until late night both white men and women

newspapers and other wares to Negroes; and his never heard of any of them being arrested in these black districts and being commanded to get back in the white section of the city where they belong and stop selling their goods to Negroes.
If Mrs. Brown had been a member of the white race, she would not have been arrested in the first place; and, if (as a white woman) some police officer had so forgotten his prerogatives as to place her under arrest and carry her to city prison in the police patrol, he not only would have been reprimanded severely for his actions, but he would have been unguarded, while every white newspaper in the city would have carried flaming editorials denouncing such despotic actions upon the part of said officers.
There is a fundamental right at stake in this incident, and to pass the matter off merely with the dropping of the case against Mrs. Brown is not sufficient.
What had Mrs. Brown done in the first place to necessitate or warrant her arrest and humiliation by being placed in the police patrol and carried to the city bastile and forced to post a $25 cash appearance bond?

Why fine other people for breach of peace and then permit this race woman to go scot-free from the same charge?

If she were accused of "disturbing peace" because the arresting office averred that she did not obey his "move on" order, why was she not arrested at Main and Lamar, where she was accepted by the officer, instead of Travis and Prairie, fully eight blocks from the scene?
Are white news vendors compelled to "move on," or are they not permitted to sell their papers on street corners and all over the city?
The Informer would like to know why Mrs. Brown was arrested at local police officers, and why she was even necessary to go through the area of having a trial, when the authorities superintendent of police and judge of corporation court knew that they had no real charges against this lawful, peaceful, hardworking, honest and Christian woman—who has supported herself and educated a son by selling papers on the local streets for the past 12 years?
Even police officers need to be informed that Negroes have some rights which even policemen are supposed to respect; and, despite the fact that police officers can apprehend more than 100 Negroes whenever some criminal charge is "trumped up" and charged at the door of the black contingent, the Informer still contends that the arrest and consequent embarrassment and humiliation local wives have received is illegal, and those responsible for the "stunt" proved themselves unworthy custodians of the public weal and welfare, and poor protectors of the peace and legal rights of American citizens.
WHAT ABOUT LOCAL RAPE CASES?
Although two local white women charged, several days ago, that they were the victims of criminal attacks by Negroes; and, notwithstanding the fact that more than 100 blacks were arrested on suspicion, with many of them being given the "third degree" in an attempt to force a confession, not only are the "black newspapers about the" attacks in nearly two weeks.
Many rumors have been affoort here recently concerning both of these reported criminal attacks, and the fact that no more arrests have been made and the constabulary and police departments have soft pedaled the matter, might lead one to conclude that there is something funny and fishy about the whole affair.
With wholesale arrests of Negroes in Houston and the apprehension of several Negroes in adjacent towns, most of them fitting the description given by the victims, according to daily newspapers, the women "outraged" have failed thus far to identify a share of the attackers before the police report current in the city is that bloodhounds were placed on the trail in one of the "attack" cases, and that the dogs continued to follow the scent to a nearby house occupied by whites.
Not satisfied with the queer and peculiar antics and actions of these dogs, rumor has it that additional bloodhounds were pressed into service and these repeated the action of the first dogs.
During last year a criminal attack upon a young white girl by a "black, burly Negro" was reported in a nearby town, and all this section became excited and alarmed, resulting in several Negroes being arrested on suspicion.
Finally bloodhounds were put on the trail, according to the report, which disturbed the "burly, black brute," but on the other hand tracked a member of the white race, resulting in the case being dropped like a hot brick.
Of course, whenever they "attack cases" take such turns, the white daily newspapers forget to mention the matter, preferring to leave the public under the impression that not only did some "black beast" perpetrate the heinous crime, but also made good his escape. If the two local white women were attacked by Negroes, then the police officers should not rest until the culprits are apprehended and brought to justice; but on the other hand, if these white women were not attacked by Negroes, or were not the victims of criminal outrages at all, then this fact should be broadcast in the same manner as the publicity given the alleged attacks when originally reported.
It does not seem credible or feasible that these alleged "black assailants" could perpetrate their brutal crimes and then escape the dragnet engineered by the police officers, who seem to possess the knowledge of the Negro criminals under any and all circumstances and conditions!
If as one white editor of a local daily stated in his column several days ago, the Negro race of Houston "has been disgraced by the ghouls of your color who committed these acts" (mind you, this Nordic editor did not say "the Negroes accused of committing the acts," but assumed the attitude that some Negroes did the bestial deeds simply because some member of the white race charged the black man with the act of assaulting until the "fired" is caught and tried, or an explanation made why the cases have taken such strange twists and peculiar angles.
THIRTY YEARS IN SERVICE
In 1899 the Free and Accepted Masons of Texas cast about for some able young man to fill the office of most worshipful grand secretary of the Lone Star State jurisdiction, and their choice fell upon William Madison McDonald, who was then residing in Kauffman County. At that time Mr. McDonald had not attained national fame as a political luminary, outstanding business man and leader, but the Masons of Texas saw in him the sterling qualities of leadership and they elected him as their grand lodge scribe. Last Thursday the Masonic grand lodge of Texas celebrated the thirtieth anniversary of the Masonic organization as grand secretary of the order, and the feature of the day's program was the celebration of the occasion and paces about this outstanding leader and distinguished fragrantist, who is often referred to as "Texas' first colored citizen." Not only did members of the Masonic order and Texas speakers lead and praise Mr. McDonald's services for the past thirty years.
OPINIONS
With all plans and details about worked out for the forthcoming fiftieth (silver jubilee) anniversary celebration of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows and Household of Ruth of Texas, which will be staged in Galveston August 5-9, 1929, the eyes of Texas and the nation will be focused upon Treasure Isle during this mammoth event.
When the Household of Ruth in the state will not be 50 years of age this year, the sisters are joining hands with the brothers to put on an exhibition and demonstration which the Island City and Texas will never forget, and one which will be in keeping with the glorious past of the order and its bright prospects for the future.
This memorable event will be held in connection with the grand lodge, and it is expected that thousands will invade Galveston during the week to view the epoque spectacle.
Another feature which will draw many members of the order to the grand session is the bicennial election of grand lodge officers. While we have not heard of any hats being in the ring for any of the grand lodge plums, it will not be surprising to discover some ambitious aspirants in Galveston either seeking some office, or hoping that "Lightning will strike them."
During a recent visit to the city, Prof. G. W. Jackson of Corsicana, district grand master of the Texas, New Mexico and Arizona jurisdiction, states that not only a record-making, but a record-breaking meeting is in the offing for Galveston during August; and that the "Odd Fellows and Ruthites will kill the fatten calf and stage one mighty fine celebration. We are going to let the world know that the Odd Fellows of Texas can do big things and do them in a big way."
Mrs. L. M. Hughes of Cameron, who recently became titular head of the Household of Ruth through the death of Mrs. Julia Caldwell-Frazier, was in Houston a few days ago, and declared that "the Ruthites are going to stand by and with the Odd Fellows in the consummation and execution of the silver jubilee anniversary in Galveston during the grand sessions in August, and, while we do not care to divulge our plans just now, our suggestion is that you meet us in the Island City and with your own eyes the demonstration which will be staged for your enlightenment and edification."
Another fraternal stalwart who is busy getting things in fine fettle for the grand lodge is Hon. James T. Ewing of Houston, district grand secretary and temple manager. Although the recent high water in Houston did much material damage to the basement of the Odd Fellows Temple, Mr. Ewing not only is directing the repair work in the building, but he is handling numerous details dealing with the grand session during August.
Both Grand Master Jackson and Grand Secretary Ewing will be candidates for reelection. In fact, it is rumored in reliable circles that the entire grand lodge family will be retained in office for another two years. ' (The Odd Fellows and Ruthites only elect officers every two years, and while the former will hold an election this year the latter will not elect officers until the 1930 session.)
According to reports emanating from Galveston, the 1929 hostcity, the various local committees have things well in hand there, and are eagerly looking forward to the grand session and the silver jubilee celebration. There promises to be something doing from the moment the first delegates reach the Island City until the last one has departed for home.
The railroads of Texas will grant reduced round trip rates for this occasion, and persons from the interior of the state and other distant or near-distant points—in fact, all persons connected with the grand lodge and grand house—are urgently requested and advised to employ the passenger trains and to use the lines designated by the head of the order. This will assure better accommodations for all concerned, and will make a far better showing for the fraternity.
During the fifty years of its existence in Texas, the Odd Fellows order has risen from a mere infant in the fraternal world to a giant among secret fraternities, with assets and resources above the half-million dollar mark.
Always regarded and rated as a conservative fraternal organization, this order has kept pace with the marvelous growth recorded by similar race institutions in Texas during the past decade or more; and it faces the future with high hopes and a most enthusiastic spirit, holding tenaciously to the fundamental tenets of the order—Friendship, Love and Truth.
but Colonel Roscoe Conkling Simmons, noted orator and publicist of Chicago, was brought to the state to deliver the principal address at Thursday night's testimonial event.
On this occasion Mr. Simmons paid Mr. McDonald a mighty fine tribute, in detail and at length the various contributions made by this illustrious Texas both to the order, race, state and social fabric; adding that "no history of America is complete without Texas, and no history of Texas is complete without McDonald, who is known wherever Texas is known."
Not only were flowery tributes paid this Texas notable, but many and profuse were the floral bouquets presented to him upon the occasion; and, while taken by surprise (for he knew nothing of the program until it was being rendered), Mr. McDonald was visibly affected by the demonstration.
Whenever a black man can serve in one capacity for thirty years among black people and survive, he is a genius and deserves the concomitants of his fellowmen; and when that thirty-year period is filled with unselfish service, the accomplishment is all the more remarkable and unique.
While not the titular head of the Texas Masonry, Mr. McDonald has served under several most worshipful grand masters, and due largely to his efforts, visions and contributions the order has attained its present high rank and rating in this state and the nation. Having played such an important part in the history, growth and expansion of the order in Texas, it is beffiting and appropriate that the grand lodge should pause in its deliberations and accord honor to this comment fraternalist and distinguished leader.

TYPICAL SOM
OAN WOMAN
By Wilton Pember
F you take a world-map and study it carefully you will find that about one hundred miles to the north of Cape York, Northern Queensland, lies the island of New Guinea, probably the largest island in the world. Originally owned by fierce headhunting cannibals. Many still rove through the interior, but it is now ruled over by the Dutch and the British, who divide the island equally between them. The northeastern part was originally German New Guinea, but at the beginning of the Great War, was taken by the Australian forces and is now the Mandated Territory.
The southeastern part of the island, originally called British New Guinea, is what I am about to tell you of in this chapter. The name was altered to Papua, which means fuzzy-headed, some years ago in order to avoid confusion with the northeastern part. It is about 90,000 square miles in extent, and has a population of about 250,000 natives.
"Rzor-Back"
The country is rough and rugged, much of it being known as "razorback" formation. Some of the mountains are very high, their peaks rising some 13,000 feet, which have perpetual snow upon them, though they
THE HOUSTON INFORMER
ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION June 29, 1929
are quite close to the equator. These mountains in general are stern and savage-looking. The sides are so steep that no soil is found on them. Only "the bare rock glowers in the sun." In the valleys the vegetation is luxurious and varied: wonderfully colored crottons and coleus, large and corn vines, and beautiful lilies flourish in rich profusion. Georgeous butterflies flit about, and the beautiful Bird of Paradise adds its luster to the scene. Papua is a land of great rivers; the Fly River is one of the largest in the world, and is navigable for about five hundred miles, and it has been seen that the river has sometimes down that river to provide everybody on this earth with one hundred and twenty gallons each day."
Queer Life
The people live in small villages. About fifteen to twenty houses generally form a village, and as very little order is preserved, the houses are built without any idea of town-planning. Sometimes they are built on the beach, on the beach or even out above the sea. All the houses are built upon high piles as a protection against white ants, rats, and other vermin, which are numerous. These village houses are often covered with decorations and carved figures, some of which are decorated with carvings. It is a rude form of art, still it shows a striving for beautiful things inherent in all people.
Eat Bees and Ants
Their main food is the yam (somewhat like a potato), bread-fruit, taro (which is the root of a lily), bananas, sugarcane, pineapple and nuts. Sometimes they have pig, or fish, or owl, and with every prepared food the coconut. They are not over-particular, for they often eat frogs, lizards, snakes, liv. bees, ants, stingaree (stinging fish), opossum, and even rats. Their clothing consists of very light clothing, and girls are worn by the womencook, who are quite as keen on fashion as our people, while boys and girls

Primalite Custums
The Papuans still cling to their customs, rites and rituals, many of which are both strange and unique. The chief of them relate to birth, marriage, death and harvest. When a child is born the mother is the recipient of numerous presents, often with gifts from her youngest volunteer; while when the baby is but a few hours old it is taken to the sea and bathed in the waves. Then comes the next process, for a few days later same black resinous mixture, much like glue, is rubbed on its head to harden the skull. The next process is to pierce holes in the skin, to sew in some cases the mose, into which are thrust spiropits of wood or grass. These holes are made bigger as the child grows older, until it reaches a stage when a large plug of wood can be thrust into the stretched lobes. One never sees a birthday feast or celebration as unlucky events, they are forbidden all about.
Modification
At the death of a relative the natives paint themselves with a mixture of charcoal and coconut oil, and this must not be washed off for a month or so. but must be renewed should it wear off before that time. Then again, if the relative is a near one a joint is taken off a finger as a remembrance of the death. Like most other islanders they tattoo themselves, and this is done youth with a thorn or other sharp point, which has been dipped into a strong blue dye, made from certain wild berries.
"Ketps"
Even from quite an early age the hair of the Papuan gets quite a lot of attention, for children are taught by their parents to comb their hair with long wooden brace-maid comb. Comb the fuzzy map becomes as good as a pocket, and is more often than not the receptacle of a string accessory.
ment of bits of string, fish-hooks, pieces of coconut, and in fact, anything and everything that appeals to them as "keeps." You must be misunderstood by readers that the Papawans are dissipated or derelict people. If one lives with these natives for any length of time one will find them a happy, virile race, and if treated properly, will respond in a beneficial to themselves and the world. You must be remembered that all races have a place in the world. The highly civilized races should help those not so blessed to realize the highest within them without imposing their civilization upon people with disastrous results, as is frequently the case.
Pappans Educated
Much is being done for the Papuan of late years, by the federal government of Australia. The natives are being educated and looked after from a welfare standpoint, in quite an admirable way by the Australian authorities. The children, in most cases, are not only eager, but quick to learn, and the white teachers are high in their praise for their general advancement, both from an education, and civilized standpoint this, of course, is a very tedious territory, which, as has already been stated, has been under Australian administration since the opening of the Great War.
New Hebrides Situation
As for the various groups of islands that stud the Pacific, there is an ever-increasing attention being paid by the authorities to education. But the New Hebrides Condominium, unique in many things, is unique also in this, that alone among South Sea Island Governments it does nothing for the promotion of education. The teaching and training of the natives are left entirely to the missionaries.
The question of education in the islands is complex and beet with difficulties. Children whose parents are emerging from the Stone Age cannot be taught on quite the same lines as

boys and girls who are the product of a highly-developed civilization. The islander by nature is a tiller of the soil, and does not take kindly to cultivate the land or culture. The trades and industries of the islands are largely in the hands of Europeans and Japanese, and are likely to remain there. The whole future of the native is bound with the use he makes of his land.
Witeberaft
In bygone days the prevalence of witchcraft debarred any possibility of progress, and made a native content with his dugout canoe, his ancient implements, and backward conditions. His ideas in agriculture are not as well known as the most part the natives of today fill the soil in the same fashion as their forefathers did in Captain Cook's day, merely scratching the surface with their old-fashioned hoes. Under such conditions, education of an island child can never be complete until he is taught to farm his own land and become an able and intelligent cultivator. Only within recent years have the benefits of education been understood and appreciated by the natives. In the early days of missionary enterprise schools were regarded as an unaccountable whim of the mission- (Continued on page four)
