The hos inhabit the stretch of country
extending from the Niger to the Cross
river. The customs, Of course vary in
different parts. Those who live near the
Cross river have practices that are GER
tainly peculiar. For instance, when a
festival is in prospect the women spend
many days beforehand in arranging one
another's hair. smearing 1t with palm
oil and then plastering 1T into singular
shapes. which remain undisturbed for
months at q time. Most men shave their
chins, but the chiefs allow q small fluffy
beard to grow, and to the end of It's
they not infreauently fasten a small brass
bell or some ornament.

Of festival the women. like their sex in

themselves with gaudy ribbons Of blue
and orange fastened in q bow to the
right side Of their waists. Both sexes
paint their bodies on fete days. while
when they are in mourning they mark
white rings round their eyes.
Great pains are taken in the painting
of the figure. When q woman wants to
look particularly smart she has a white

while a long white daub stretches down
her spine. Although the skins Of the

Commercial Club Smoke Nuis-
ance Committee Meets With
Council Body.
TO ARREST VI0LAT0RS
TO MAKE TEST ACTION
Consensus of Opinion Is That
StOkers Mainly Are TO
Blame.

The Commercial club committee on
smoke nuisance met with similar com
mIttee of the city council Thursday even
ing 10 discuss the matter OF clearing the
atmosphere. There was much talk. but
In the end IL was decided 10 arrest four
offenders today and test the matter as
TO what can be done with them.
DR.. Root, as the main spokesman OF
the club committee. said that the smoke
nuisance In Salt Lake is moro asgravn
ting than in almost nny city OF like i'm
portancc In the United States. The
smoke. he said. Is driving many people
out OF thc city In the wintcr-tlme and
also Is doing much other damage. lie
believes IL would be good Idea To hire
compe tent engineer to instruct stokcrs
as To their duties. In order TO lessen the
amount OF smoke. and then prosecute tho
offenders II the smoke nuisance were not
abatcd.
Pictures Necessary.
Chairman A. j. Davis OF the council
committee said that II would be neces-
sary TO take Photographic. In order to
supply needed evidence TO convict the
violators Of the ordinance. and that Il
photographer had been engaged In that
work for some time. SIR. Davis also
called attention 10 the fact that numcr-
Gus prosecutions heretofore had failed.
~, W. Walker, manager OF the Keith
o Briep company. told tho committee that
his company loses thousands OF dollars
annually because OF smoke blowing Into
the store and running white goods. To say
nothing OF customers leaving the building
for the same reason. and In this ne was
supported by the manager OF Cohn Bros.
store, who related similar experiences.
Fault of Stokers
The general impression prevailed that
much OF the nuisance is the fault of the
sJokers. but IL was finally determined that
IL the men. or firms responsible for the
nuisance. were arrested every slime that
they violate the ordinance. they would
soon see the error of their way and have
their stocking properly done.
In any event. IL was determined TO 60
after the smoke nuisance at once and do
everything possible TO abatc or, at least,
10 lessen it.
