stopped by the express wsgol to which
he was attached colliding with an cleo
trio light pole on Bridge street. The
damage was slight.

at the same time the good news is

one OF our prosperous industries will soon
be forced to locate elsewhere as result

By nature Somali are alternately docile
and savage, nearly always merry and ha
bitually idle. Even in busy Alden they
work as little o. possible and then do nc
manual work, for their inherent pride for
bids that. Cab driving, boat manning
and grooming are the general crafts of the
Alden Somali. In the interior of his own
country his principal occupation is plum
dering and cattle lifting, at which latter
pursuit he is said to be unparalleled in
skill. In religion they are all Mohamme-
dams.
The great popularity of the Somali is.
however, his hair, for, contrary to the Gus.
tom of most races protesting Islam. he
does not shave his head, but allows his
locks to run wild. Nor is his hair the
wool OF the negro, for instead of growing
IN one dense 6uster all over his head, as
is the case of the Gala, for instance. it
tangles into long cords, not unlike those
OF poodle, which, parted over his fore
head, hangs down on both cheeks, often
projecting almost as far as his shoulders.
Not content with the show of hair thar
nature and neglect insures him, he plas-
tiers his head with peculiar light CLAW
which has the effect of bleaching it's black
ness to light reddish hue And Somali
in new tobe, as their winding sheet of q
garment is called, and freshly olayed
head is the very acme of dandyism.-
