C., July 13. The Colored race has now a total of 65 women physicians, surgeons, and osteopaths in the country, according to figures just compiled by the Department of the Interior thru the Howard University. There are 5 colored women who practice dentistry in the United States. Other statistical facts collected show that the average yearly increase of colored physicians in 63 when the race actually needs to take care of the health of its people an annual increase of at least 460. The average number of colored dentists graduating every year Howard University officials claim 63, while there should be 500. The same condition applies with regard to trained nurses, 90 being turned out each year. 600 are needed to administer to the sick among the colored people. One of the interesting features of the data collected by the University is that there are more colored physicians and dentists practicing in the cities of New York, Philadelphia, Washington, Cleveland and Chicago than in all the 16 Southern states combined where fully 8,000,000 colored people live. ASSOCIATED PRESS MAKES CORRECTION OF OWN NEWS STORY At Request of National Association News Gathering Agency Places Elaine Matter In Right Light MEN WERE NOT CONSPIRATORS New York, July 13.—The Associated Press, one of the greatest white news-distributing agencies in the world, has corrected a story it sent out on the release of six Arkansas farmers, whose cases were fought to the Arkansas Supreme Court by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. In the original Associated Press story the Arkansas riots of 1919 were attributed to a Negro "insurrection" and it was charged that fighting had been begun by Negroes In response to vigorous protest from the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the Associated Press sent out the following story: "New York, June 28.—Herbert J. Seligman of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, in a statement issued today, pointed out that recent newspaper despatches from Little Rock, Ark., telling of the release of six Negroes implicated in the Elaine rioting of 1919, incorrectly described the cause and nature of the trouble. "Denying the statement made in press despatches that the riot started when persons concealed near a Negro meeting house at Hoop Spur, Ark., fired on a party of white men in a motor car, Mr. Seligman quoted Justice Holmes of the Supreme Court of the United States as describing the riot's cause thus: 'On the night of Sept, 30, 1919, a number of colored men assembled in their church were attacked and fired upon by a body of white men, and in the disturbance that followed a white man was killed.' "Justice Holmes' statement was made in the court's opinion handed down February 19, 1923, ordering the Federal District Court to reconsider the case. "Allegations contained in press despatches that the Negroes had been persuaded by an agitator, posing as a government agent, to arm and drill in preparation for the day when they should take over control of affairs in that section, also were denied by Mr. Seligman. He declared testimony of T. K. Jones and H. F. Smiddy before the Arkansas courts showed that the Negroes were not armed." Emporia, Kan., July 13.—His love for little children, who rode with him when he peddled fruit and vegetables here, caused E. J. Alexander, an old man who died recently, to bequeath his farm and other property valued at $5,000 to needy boys and girls of the town. He also set aside a plot of his farm as a burial ground for paupers.

ON ARKANSAS VICTORY New York, July 13—Noted white lawyers have written congratulating the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, on its victory in the cases of six colored farmers recently released by the Arkansas Supreme Court. U. S. Bratton, formerly of Little Rock, now of Detroit, who first undertook to defend the colored share croppers, wrote: "I hasten to congratulate you and the Association on the victory that you have achieved in the discharge of the six Elaine cases. I feel that your organization is entitled to credit for the saving of these people's lives. If it had not been for your organization getting back of the defense, these six would have long since been moldering in the dust. You have had up-hill business and it has been expensive, but the object in view and the accomplishment is well worth all that it cost and more." Louis Marshall, of New York City, eminent constitutional lawyer, and counsel for Leo Frank, wrote: "I congratulate the Association upon this great victory, which is in every sense a triumph of justice and is consequently most gratifying."

COLORED RAILWAY MAIL CLERK GIVEN SUPERVISORY JOB COLORED RAILWAY MAIL CLERK GIVEN SUPERVISORY JOB John D. Garvey of Chicago Appointed Assistant Chief Clerk by His Departmental Chieftain IS A DECIDED FORWARD STEP (The Associated Negro Press) Chicago, Ill., July 13. When Second Assistant Postmaster General Paul Henderson paused dramatically in the speech he was delivering to Railway Mail Clerks, members of the National Alliance of Postal Employees, in the Appomattox Club Sunday morning and without a single person in the room knowing what he planned doing, handed to John D. Gainey his appointment as assistant chief clerk, bedlam almost broke loose as cheers and congratulations poured forth on the two. For the first time in the history of the railway mail service a colored man has been appointed to a supervisory position. Mr. Gainey was ordered by General Henderson to proceed to Washington, D. C., where he will be stationed and likewise was commissioned to visit the next annual convention of the National Alliance of Postal Employees which convened in Fort Worth, July 11. as an official of the service and as his personal representative. General Henderson who is the son-in-law of ongressman Martin B. Madden, had come all the way from Washington just to address the gathering—coming to the meeting from the train and leaving it for the station to return. He paid a high tribute to the 20,000 colored employees in the postal service and especially to the 800 in the R. M. S. and pledged his support to the campaign which the Alliance is making to do away with the submission of photographs when taking the civil service examination. President Alonzo L. Glenn, of the Alliance, stationed at Atlanta, who was unable to attend the meeting but who sent a strong letter which was read, urged abolition of the photographs. It is said that practically no colored men have been appointed to the R. M. S. for several years due to discrimination on account of photographs.

(Special)—Right on the heels of the imprisonment of Joli Bois, Haytyl's black editor, for speaking out in the defense of his country, a similar outrage has been perpetrated here. On June 18., D. Hamilton Jackson, editor of the Herald, the only daily on the islands, walked forth out of jail, a free man, after serving a six day sentence and paying a fine for contempt. A queer thing about it is that Jackson was not in contempt of the court, but in contempt of the American naval authorities. Jackson wrote an editorial criticising the road commissioner, a white American, who showed his race prejudice, by forcing colored residents to improve their roads before he got behind white residents. For this he was said to be in contempt of the naval authorities. He was arrested, fined and sentenced to jail, the police magistrate, also a white American, refusing an appeal. Altho sentenced, Jackson's spirit was not broken. On his first day in jail, the following editorial appeared in his paper: "Today our editor begins to serve his sentence of six days imprisonment and $10 fine. Today, June 11, shall go down in history as the anniversary of his prosecution. In the Middle Ages, when the reformers started out with their work of reformation, there was very little progress with their work until the real martyrdom began. The Moravian church never got strength until Huss was burned at the stake. So the persecution of Editor Jackson is not a personal form of persecution but the persecution of the black population of St. Croix. This persecution is by the naval government through the courts. "But this is a good thing to happen at this time when the people have lost the little confidence the people had in the rule by naval men. It will show them how far they can go to try to carry their point. In their blindness RIGHT FIRST! they think they are punishing Mr. Jackson for his free expressions as an editor. They honor him by showing that his work for his people is against their private interests and for the people. "The persecution will not help to dampen the spirit of the people as it is intended, but will make them stronger and firmer adherents to Mr. Jackson's policy. The idea of 'punish Jackson and you "cow" all the Negroes' (as was said by a certain planter who has now got a government job), is a mistake, as will be learned by the exploiters of the workers." Editor Jackson is not one of the Negroes whose spirit can be crushed. His soul is one that has been raised to a higher plane by meditation and reflections, and can never be crushed. His persecution will therefore add much to his future usefulness in the community, and the people may rely more firmly upon his work for them and posterity. P. O.

WILLIAMS COLLEGE CONFERS DEGREES ON PRINCIPAL GREGG Men of Good Will Must Be Trained For Service Keynote of Address Delivered by Honoree Before Alumni. CHRISTIANITY CHALLENGER Hampton, Va., July 13—Dr. James E. Gregg, principal of Hampton Institute, recently had conferred upon him by Williams College of Williams-town, Mass., of which Dr. Harry A. Garffield is the president, the degree of "Doctor of Divinity." At the alumni luncheon Doctor Gregg referred to Mark Hopkins' gift to Samuel Chapman Armstrong, class of 1862, who founded Hampton Institute in 1868 and passed the torch to Booker T. Washington, founder of Tuskegee, and Hollis Burke Frissell, who, in turn, kindled the soul of Robert R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute. "Hampton, like Williams," he said, "has existed from the beginning to train spiritual leaders—leaders who should lose themselves, not in involuntary servitude, but in voluntary service ableness" On the problems of inter-racial relationship, Doctor Gregg said: "Among all the clash and rivalry of the nations and races of mankind today, in Europe, in Asia, in Africa, and in our own America, what hope is there for the future if we cannot train men of trustworthy intelligence and good-will? It is an immense problem; but may we not quite as justly regard it as a glorious and beckoning adventure, as an unprecedented challenge to our democracy and to our Christianity? If they cannot meet it, if they cannot endure the test, if they cannot show men how to live and work together, then they are not what we thought they were, and the sooner we find it out the better."

(Special to The Monitor) Cleveland, Ohio, July 13.—On Sunday, June 24, Bishop Joseph Schrembs dedicated the Church of Our Lady of the Blessed Sacrament, a beautiful ediface, erected at a cost of $40,000, and the first in the history of the city for colored adherents of the Roman Catholic faith. The parish was organized about a year ago. Msgr. Joseph E. Smith, vicar general of the diocese and his three sisters, contributed $25,000 towards the building, which is a memorial to their brother. Donations were given by others, among them the organ by John D. Rockefeller, a prominent Baptist layman and the well known oil magnate. The dedicatory service marked the first anniversary of the organization of the parish. Rev. Thomas E. McKenny, a white priest, is the pastor. PROF.

BUSINESS SUPPORT BUSINESS enterprises conducted by our people should receive the hearty and enthusiastic and united support of our own people. This is a proposition to which there will be given hearty assent, but with a very important proviso which is this PROVIDED THEY ARE DESERVING OF SUPPORT. By this it is meant that they should give the same service for the money as their business competitor. For example, in order that we may make our meaning clear, a colored man who is conducting a grocery store cannot reasonably expect his people to patronize him if his vegetables are stale and pay him the same price for stale vegetables that he has to pay his competitor for fresh vegetables. If his vegetables are as fresh as those of his competitor and sold at the same market price, he deserves and should receive the patronage of his people; if they are not he does not deserve their patronage. The colored grocer having limited capital may not be able to carry as large a stock as his competitor but his stock can be fresh and attractively displayed and his store neat and clean and he will get the trade because he deserves it. Of course some of his people will think that his competitor's sugar for example is a little sweeter than his, that is to be expected, but he will get the support of a sufficient number to help him build up his business. And what applies to a grocery store applies to other lines of business. What the public is looking for is service and the man who can render the service will get the business as a general proposition. With Omaha's large colored population very largely centralized there is no reason why successful grocery stores, dry goods stores, millinery shops and similar lines of business could not be conducted and adequately supported. No one should undertake to conduct a business of this kind unless he has had some experience and knows what he is doing. One with a knowledge of the business undertaken can make a success of it and will receive the patronage not only of his own people but of the public who need his goods.

DOES NOT SEEM FAIR AT THIS DISTANCE it is rather difficult to understand why the authorities in New York refused bail to Marcus Garvey, pending the appeal of his case. There are cases too numerous to mention in which persons found guilty of using the mails to defraud, second degree murder, and like offences have been admitted to bail pending an appeal. The denial of this constitutional right to Garvey, while extending it to others, does not seem fair. It would indicate that prosecution is being followed by persecution. If so this will only make friends for Garvey and his cause. BEATUIFUL LAWNS WE DESIRE to congratulate several of our progressive citizens upon their beautiful and attractive lawns as well as the well-kept appearance of their homes. Just to take a few at random, such lawns and homes as those of Mrs. M. E. Overall, 2210 Lake street; Mr. and Mrs. G. W. McClanahan, 2855 Miami; Mr. and Mrs. Joseph LaCour, 2421 Maple and Sergt. and Mrs. Isaac Balley, 2816 Pratt, not to mention many others, are a credit to any city.

FOOTNOTES TO AFRICAN HISTORY (By the Hamitic League) Helen, the Teasing Brownskin of Troy Of course you have heard of Helen of Troy, that beautiful doll whose face launched a thousand ships to war? But did you ever hear that she was a teasing, tantalizing, troublesome brown? If you haven't, maybe it is because authors forgot to mention it. Nordic writers have such a careless way of forgetting to mention the color of the folks away back yonder under the sun. Helen was the feminine scream of her day and she had more suitors than Henry has flivvers. She finally married Mr. Menelaus of Sparta, who traced his royal blood back to the Argives who planted Africa in Greece a thousand years before. Then Buddy Paris, sheik of Troy, vamped the lady and eloped with her while King Menelaus was shooting craps. Said elopement caused the Trojan war that made Mr. Homer famous. It was once said that "the old men on the wall of Troy," declared that it was a shame for two nations to go to war over a woman. (Just then Helen passed and the old roosters revised their opinions and voted more dough to carry on the fight fest. So write it down in your memory that Helen belonged to us. There is only one author we ever read who wasn't afraid to say she was a brown-skin baby doll. It was Miss Barbauld of England. "Yes," she makes Helen say, "I was brown skin and rather plump, but the boys fell for me just the same." There is a long record of glory for us Children of the Sun. (Next week, "The Sphinx.") WHAT OTHER EDITORS SAY Let the Spirit of Mortal Be Proud. News items in the press last week set forth several incidents of more than passing interest. First came the news that the Arkansas Supreme Court set free the six Elaine "rioters." The importance of this victory should not be estimated solely by the effect it will have on the six men involved, but because it sets out clearly the group's ability to fight injustice. After all, races get only the things for which they fight or the things that they could take if they did fight for them. The Elaine news will inject iron into the blood of thousands of Negro youth and give Arkansans something to think about for many a day. Another heartening news item came from Georgia where a sheriff ordered his guardsmen to fire in the right direction when a mob of 2,000 whites attempted to lynch (a Negro boy charged with rape. One of the mob was killed and there was no lynching. Coupling this incident with the marked decrease in lynching reported for the first half of 1923, it will not be far-fetched to connect this with the fight for the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill. Let this fight go on. Last, but by no means least, we had 1,152 Negro college graduates coming forth to officer the racial march of 10,000,000 struggling human beings. We say "let the spirit of mortal be proud."—The Afro-American, Baltimore, Md. THE MONITOR JULY ISSUE OF "OPPORTUNITY" The July issue of "Opportunity," a magazine published by the Department of Research and Investigations of the National Urban League, contains such articles as "Race Relations and Public Opinion" by Graham Romeyn Taylor; "Public Opinion and the Negro" by Charles S. Johnson; "A Librarian in Harlem" by Ernestine Rose; "Industrial Housing for Negro Wage Earners: An Experiment"; Community Service Training School; "A Group of Negro Artists" by Francis C. Holbrook; "Ups and Downs of a Negro School Boy in the South" by T. O. Fuller; and "Negroes at Work in the United States." In "Race Relations and Public Opinion Mr. Taylor says, in part: "The history of social work in the last fifty years has laid emphasis upon individualized treatment, discarding generalized views about school children as a group, criminals as a group, and dependents as a group. It should be a most appropriate service in the cause of better race relations for social workers to lead their communities to discard generalized conceptions of Negroes as a group, and to understand that Negroes are no more all alike than are whites, and that the wide range of individual differences which is taken for granted amongst whites is also true amongst Negroes." Mr. Johnson, in his article on "Public Opinion and the Negro" writes, in part: "In the study of the influence of public opinion on race relations we are dealing with three important and highly sensitive elements: the facts upon which this opinion rests, the theories about these facts, and most important of all, the actions based on the theories." Miss Ernestine Rose contributes an interesting article on "A Librarian in Harlem" in which she says in one of the paragraphs: "The 135th Street Library itself is the most active experiment station for racial readjustment. Two southern girls have been on the staff during the winter, one as a permanent assistant, one for practice work during her student course at Pratt Institute. The first, characterized by a certain thoughtful radicalism, has gained a background and foundation for her opinions. The latter is learning that educated and refined colored girls are of the same stuff as white, and that they may live and work together." After giving a brief resume of Negro artists and students, Mr. Francis C. Holbrook in his article on "A Group of Negro Artists" concludes: "There has been an increasing number of exhibits of Negro painting during the past few years, all of which served to indicate the rapid progress that the Negro is making in art. "The work of immortalizing on canvas, or in stone the story of the Negro race, awaits the man or woman so inspired." In the Editorial section the following subjects are discussed: "Fatalism and the Health Agencies"; "The Truth' About Negro Music"; "The Twelve Hour Day"; "Romulus and Uncle Remus"; "Why Negro Babies Die"; and "King Cotton, the Negro and the Nation." The cover is a crayon drawing of Henry O. Tanner, the renowned Negro artist of Paris, by Francis C. Holbrook. "Opportunity" is published at 127 East 23rd street, New York City. ALLEN CHAPEL A. M. E.

KNIGHTHOOD IN SWEDEN IS SLOWLY DYING OUT During Last Generation 125 Lines Have Terminated. Stockholm.—Knighthood is still in flower in Sweden, although the petals are failing one by one. This sentiment is suggested by the fact that the assembly of nobles, which comes once every three years, has just been held in the historic Hall of Knights, attended by sciens of counties and baroneties many hundreds of years old. The chamber of nobles, as such, has not been active in Swedish government since 1880, and scarcely any titles have been created since that time. Statistics soon to be printed show that there are at present in Sweden 52 lines of counts, 135 baronial lines and 485 other titled families. During the last generation about 125 different lines have terminated. It is a law in the chamber of nobles that a line ends if the family holding the title changes its nationality. Thus many emigrants to America and other countries have sought new fortunes at the price of old titles. It is also a law that a Swedish aristocratic house must be declared extinct when there has been no male birth in it during a period of 90 years. Swedish nobility had its origin, probably, in the Twelfth century, in privileges awarded for military service, and a great number of titles were created during the first half of the Seventeenth century by the famous King Gustavus Adolphus. A few years after his death was built the beautiful Hall of Knights, where the assemblies are now held. With its curiously carved copper roof, its walls hung with gorgeous armorial bearings, it is one of the show places of the capital. The Swedish nobles of today are great patrons of arts and sciences. Many are found in military and political posts, while others engage in model farming on their estates. Polar Natives Say Slain Kin Hold Nightly Revel Anchorage, Alaska.—Some natives of Alaska profess to believe that the angry spirits of the Aleuts massacred at the behest of the early Russian discoverers and traders under Sheikhoff, Baranoff and Chirikoff are lurking in the volcanoes of the Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes. Beneath the thin crust of the earth covering the lower Alaskan peninsula and the Aleutian archipelago, these spirits, the natives assert, are holding nightly revels and emerging periodically to hurl fire, smoke and thunder at the heads of the invaders. The fanciful recital of the natives is that on Chirikoff island, long famed as haunted, a half hundred natives were lured into a log compound, set upon by savage enemies under direction of the Russians, murdered and despiled of priceless sea otter skins. Their spirits are appearing again in protest. The eruption of three volcanoes in January is, they say, a revistaion of these spirits and will continue until they are avenged. For many years Chirikoff island has been a place seldom inhabited by natives or whites. Many harrowing tales from Chirikoff were brought here by Captain Nick Gaikema, who has visited almost every nook and harbor along the Aleutians. Last summer the skiiper braved the Valley of Smokes, emerging with the shoes burned from his feet and with many stories to tell. Kill 500 Horses a Week for Food in Berlin Washington.—Five hundred horses a week are being slaughtered for food in Berlin, according to reports to the Commerce department. With the increased scale of prices and added difficulties in food supply which have followed the Ruhr occupation, horse meat sales are said to be increasing rapidly. Horse meat sells now at 2,000 marks per pound, which is roughly equal to about 10 cents in American money. Big Telescope for Russia. St. Albans, England.—One of the most wonderful telescopes in the world is nearing completion here for shipment to the Nikolaifee observatory, Russia. It weighs about nine tons, the inside diameter is 45 feet, the refracting telescope for photography is 32 inches, and the whole will be fitted to a revolving turret of steel. Finds Gas Shut Off; Can't Keep Bargain Chicago. — Oscar Schultz, whose cheese store recently was closed by his creditors, walked into a police station and asked to be arrested for breach of contract. He explained he sold his $1,000 insurance policy to Arnold Heftt for $5, with the promise that he would go home and commit suicide by gas. After receiving the $5 in a saloon he wended his way homeward to turn on the gas. "I wish to be arrested for breaching a contract," he said. "I promised to commit suicide, but I ain't paid my gas bill and the company turns it off. My $5 is all spent—no pay, no gas, no gas, no die."

St Joseph, Mo—St. Joseph is excited. Groups gather on near-beer shops to talk about the situation. And the cause of it all is a controversy over the identity of the first rider to leave St. Joseph in the now famous Pony Express ride. The Pony Express is experiencing a revival, and the historic ride of hardy horsemen is to be relieved this fall, when riders will set out again from St. Joseph and San Francisco over the old route. Towns and cities along the way are preparing for the event, which will be celebrated in all the states through which the first riders passed. When the proposal to revive the ride was made, no one thought it would result in such a furore. The movement started in the West, and since then committees have been at loggersheads over the first rider. There seems to be no doubt about the man who left San Francisco with the first bag of mall, but in St. Joseph opinions differ. While no homes have been divided in the strife, some very heated tilts have occurred. Of course, none of the first riders are now living, as the date of the initial trip was April 3, 1800. Those "first" riders who are backed for honors are Johnnie Fry, John Burnett and one sailor named William Richardson. At the present writing Richardson seems to have the contest tucked away, but at any moment an antique letter or document may be sprung on the committee and swing the contest in another direction. Wrangle Over Horse's Color. The argument does not stop with the name of the first rider. The color of the horse he rode, the hour of the day and the part of the city from which the rider set off are all in question. Strangely, the interest in such an old affair is not confined to the old folk. Usually in a case like this the younger and, of course, smarter set are content to sit back, casting supercilious sneers at the petty arguments of their grandparents. But not this time. In fact, the strongest backer of Richardson, and the one who placed him at the head of the race, is a young woman. And if she had not discovered him, Johnnie Fry would now, in all probability, be riding at the head of all "first" riders. But while some were willing to agree to let the shade of Mr. Fry absorb all of the glory, this young woman went quietly about the libraries, gathering up data on the ride. She dug up musty newspapers and faded letters on which the writing was hardly discernible. She compared dates and more dates, and then one day she started the home folks by appearing before the ride committee and demanding that Mr. Fry be hauled out of the saddle and his place be given to Sailor Richardson, who left the bounding main to ride over the rolling prairies. She proved to the committee's satisfaction that Fry was the second rider, and that he left St. Joseph seven days after the first rider departed. Dangerous Dash Across Plains. The Pony Express was the first means by which mail was carried overland to the Pacific coast. In 1860 the Eastern outpost of railroads was St. Joseph. Mall destined to the Western territories had to be sent by sailing vessels around Cape Horn. However, the Pony Express company was given assurances by the government that it might have the contract for it might have the contract for it might have the vessels took. The company then prepared for the initial ride on which hung the fate of the contract. The best riders of the West were secured, and hundreds of fast horses were purchased. On the appointed day, April 3, 1860, a horseman set out from San Francisco, carrying the mall eastward. At the same time another horseman was being ferried across the Missouri river, bound for Seneca, Kan., a distance of 20 miles. The result of the ride is known. The trip was completed in ten days, and the company received the contract. Seneca was the first stop for a rider from St. Joseph. He was relieved there, and waited for the rider from the West, whom he in turn relieved. Six horses were used in riding the distance, and the riders were supposed to make the distance in eight hours. It was a hazardous undertaking, as the plains were at that time overrun by Indians, and many a rider was found on the trail, his body pierced with a poisoned arrow. But when the ride is made this fall the horseman will find conditions different, and if old William Richardson should wander back to this earth he would probably be surprised to see his replica hurrying along over a hard-surfaced highway, while unfamiliar objects, which people call motorcars, speed by the horseman at a terrific rate. Poland's Lose in Young Men. Waraw.—Poland's greatest loss of recent years has been, not in devastated regions, but in young men. Therefore physical education was stressed at a recent meeting of schoolmasters in this city, and the government was urged to allot more money for the building of playgrounds and otherwise to assist in the building up of Polish youths.

DEATH PENALTY FOR CANNIBALS France Issues Orders Intended to Extirpate Practice in African Possessions. Paris.—Albert Sarraut, French minister of colonies, who was one of France's representatives at the Washington naval armament limitation and pacific conference, has just signed two decrees intended to extirpate the practice of cannibalism in the French African possessions. The death penalty is imposed on any one killing or trying to kill human belings for the purpose of eating their flesh. Imprisonment of from one to ten years and a fine of from 100 to 1,000 francs are to be the punishment for complicity in crimes or for eating human flesh. Cannibalism survives. M. Sarraut says, principally under the form of ritual rites or acts of sorcery. Discussing this subject in Le Journal, M. Fernand Hauser writes: "Doctor Curean, formerly a colonial governor, assured us some years ago in a work on the primitive peoples of equatorial Africa that cannibalism, as practiced there (and it is practiced, even in regions rich in food resources of all sorts, vegetable and animal), is not due to privation or famine. 'It is simply a matter of taste,' he said, 'a predilection for a certain kind of meat.' Cannibalism Called instinct. "Cannibalism is then, according to Doctor Curean, an instinct. It is a custom. The man who indulges in it is not necessarily ferulous. 'He may be a man who is gentle, gay, cheerful and friendly in his ordinary relations'—at least with those about him. "Doctor Curean added that he had several times seen evidences that certain tribes make prisoners of war or buy slaves to hold them in reserve, and then kill them and eat them in accordance with their needs." "Pere Martron, who also made a close-range study of the African negroes, declared, on the contrary, that the cannibals did not hunt men to satisfy hunger. They eat, he said, only the bodies of enemies killed in war and, more rarely, the bodies of those on whom they wish to wreak a terrible vengeance. "However that may be, Pere Martron and Doctor Cureau both stated that cannibalism is dying out. Coming into intercourse with more civilized tribes, the cannibals feel a sense of shame and soon refuse to admit that human flesh is eaten by them. Reports for many Years "These are reports dating back some years. M. J. Brevie, chief administrator of colonies, director of political and administrative affairs in the government of French West Africa, says, in his Islamisme contre Natursime au Soudan Francais"—a penetrating essay on native psychology which he has published—that many blacks still practice cannibalism, less from any real need than from an attachment to ancient rites, which, divorced from their primitive significance, appear unintelligible to us, and which they themselves can no longer explain. "We are dealing here, he declares, 'with human sacrifices, intended to disarm hostile spirits, or to produce a sort of physical and moral transubstantiation from the person sacrificed—to the person who eats, the latter thus assimilating the former's strength and qualities.'" but whatever may be the reasons which have kept cannibalism alive, the French government is now determined to make an end of it. Week-End Gardens Are Stockholm.—The regular week-end exodus of 7,000 industrial workers armed with garden tools is one of the unique signs of spring now appearing in the Swedish capital. Every one of these amateur gardeners has his own "colony lot" in the large co-operative garden colonies situated in what appears to be country, though actually within the city limits. Here he grows his own flowers and vegetables, and finds a retreat from the factories and city streets. The 7,000 colonists are grouped into 50 different garden sections in the outskirts of the city, and the administrative work is in the hands of co-operative garden societies. The plots of ground worked by individuals vary in size from 1,800 to 5,500 square feet, and the rentals range from $2.50 to $15.00 for the season. Greens, vegetables, strawberries and various other garden products are raised, enough to supply the worker's own table and to yield him a small profit besides. Hunts Panther With Sponges Nanaimo, B. C.-Jim Craig of Craig's Crossing, who had shot 180 panthers, brought here the carcass of one that he killed with chloroform. The animal had lamed Craig's son, Duncan Craig, and had scratched Craig's arm. With a lethal rag on the end of a pole, he put the animal to sleep. Then he lassessed it and dragged it from a tree. To Start Whaling in Ross Sea. Seattle, Wash.-Three steel whalers are being sent to Ross sea, where Roald Amundsen, discoverer of the South pole, noted the presence of whales in large numbers. In Ross sea they are to meet a 12,000-ton steamer from Norway, which will be a floating plant for the utilization of whales. Why Not Let Us Do Your SHOE REPAIR WORK Best material, reasonable prices.
