tended the efforts of the Philippine
commission to stop head hunting
among the mountaineers and to end
the intertTibal wars which have kept
the interior in a constant state of fer,
ment.
The Ifugaos, the widest and most
turbulent of the mountain tribes, who
number more than 100000, have not
taken a head in the last twenty-one
months, although they were frequent
offenders before the present campaign
was undertaken.
Secretary Worcester discovered that
the mountain men were exceedingly
fond of athletic competition. In fur
therance of his desire to bring the
tribes into more friendly relations be
held a series of fiestas and field meets
encouraging the natives to enter the
contests His plan was well received
and numbers of tribes that had been
at war with each other for centuries
engaged in races and strength con
tests on friendly terms.
