AnthrOpOIogiSt Talks of Primitive
Mans Standard.
Religion Has No Natural Connection
With Morals As Is often Sup
posed-lneest Cannot Be
Based on Reason.

Berkeley, Cal-Addressing the Phi
losophical Union on the subject OF
Moral Theory and Practice In Prim'
tive Life" Prof. A. L. Kroeber OF San
Francisco, head OF the department OF
anthropology at the university, an
nounced a doctrine that reverses the
general idea of morality and its ex'
Istence. The savage, he says, is Just
as moral as the civilized man OF this
or any other age, and man, as a race,
is moral and immoral because he Is
made that way and cannot help 1t,
There are four stages Of morals "
said Professor Kroeber, instructive
morals, which are evident in the ami
mails as well as ourselves; next,
morals shaped by social standards, as
in primitive man; then a stage where
conscience enters, and, fourth, stage
that no race has yet reached, but
which it may, where morality is en-
tirely a matter Of intelligence.
But all these later stages arise
from the first, wherein we do not diff
fer from the lower animals, but feel
instinctively that a thing is good or
bad, and base our actions on that in
stinct. The repugnance which muir
der, incest and cannibalism have for
US are purely instructive, and are pos
sessed by the savage just the same as
by the civilized man.
Where real virtue arises is in liv-
ing up to our standards, and in that
sense we are no better than the most
primitive savage, often not as good
The setting of our standards is not a
moral matter, but one of culture and
civilization.
Religion has no natural connec-
ton with morals, and the two do not
go hand in hand, as is often supposed.
Religion is a product of our civiliza-
ton. At certain times religion gets
an opportunity to seize upon morality
and incorporate 1t into itself, but the
two never assimilate. 1t is due to
this that morals have now become al
most entirely divorced from religion

IHA WAHAN STAMP AT $4,000

from the time of the earliest mission
aries through the provisional govern
ment to the present day. AS for the
two rare stamps he acquired, they are
known among philatelists as "the
Hawaii fve-cent blue, 1852" Of the
missionary issue. They were printed
by Henry NJ Whitney, the first post
master at Honolulu, and the son OF
Samuel Whitney, one Of the early mis-
sionaries sent out by the board OF
american missions in 1919.
To the average person these stamps
look like ordinarily poor examples Of
printing, though their association with
the early days of irregular mails by
the first missionary families and oc
casional whalers give added interest
Still, to the philatelist their very
crudity in printing and spacing makes
them more precious. Each one Of the
first sets has been identified and its
minute differences from its fellows
ticketed as in the case Of early books
and prints. If the difference between
the original five-cent value of Ghis
stamp and the present-day valuation
of $1,000 seems startling to the non
philatelist, there is another sort OF
Hawaiian stamp that presents an
even greater rise.
This stamp, which was seen by Mr.
Colson in studying the exhibits at
the Bishop museum in Hawaii, is OF
only two-cent denomination, but 1t
brings today about $4,000.

HOW TO BECOME BEAUTlF"
Millennium for Fair Sex, as Far as Per
sonal Appearance Is Concerned
Says Artist.

Boston.-The millennium has come
for women of high and low degree
fat, thin tall, short and middling-as
far as personal appearance is con
cerned, says Henry Turner Bailey, the
Boston artist, II the rules laid down
by him are followed. Perfection oi
beauty depends on dress tones, says
Artist Bailey.
ITO begin with, :he athletic or man
nish girl is unattractive from every
viewpoint" he says. when | say
woman can be well gowned If she lives
up TO certain artistic rules, am tax,
ing only of feminine women, not Of
those who try to ape the men.
"In regard to the color Of the cos
tune, that should be determined by
the complexion Of the wearer. The
larger and plumper woman the more
quietly she snould dress. In nature II
is the butterfly who is brilliant not
the elephant. One very great danger
is in OVERRIDING dress This fault Is
most evident among the newly rich.
The costumes of self respecting shop
girls are better, as a rule, than the
costumes of the newly rich woman.
IF one is tall she should wear
gowns made on horizontal lines and
never have dresses too long or too
short. If short, the costume should be
made on vertical lines Never have
your dresses short, regardless of style
If one is stout, dress plainly in one
color scheme. If one is thin, mixed
goods are permissible.
The use of animals and birds for
trimming should be banished from mil
linery. Women are sometimes bar
barrie of themselves. Anything that
echoes the barbaric or animal is out oi
place. There is also the danger OF
sharpening the finger nails until they
remind one Of bird and animal claws
THE eye should never be attracted
to the feet. Women possessing large
feet should never wear tan shoes"

PROPOSE GARDENS FOR POOR
city of Buffalo Planning to Rent
Ground for Municipal Farming
Loan Tracts TO Worthy.

Buffalo, N. Y-"That 1T would be a
good business move for the city to
lease, for stated periods, tracts OF
vailable land, and turn the same over
10 the worthy poor for municipal gar
dening purposes" was an idea ad-
Vanced by Louis ]. Kenngott, city
overseer of the poor. Heretofore, "
said he, "the municipal gardening done
here has been on plots of ground, the
use of which has been donated by the
owners.
"These plots have been loaned, with
the understanding that possession OF

.DEASOF MORALITY

and the two institutions stand sep.
arate."
In discussing the matter of incest,
Professor Kroeber said that II could
not be based on reason, because II is
biological fact that the nearness OF
relation of parents does not produce
Inferior offspring. II is a popular mis-
take that marriage Of cousins and
near OF kin Is an occasion OF weak
children, unless Il has been continued
for generations; and In the case Of
horses and dogs. breeding is custom
arily done between animals OF the
nearest blood relationship.
The fact that there is nothing more
at the bottom OF our morals than
these vague feelings or instincts
causes different peoples to go on try
ing TO justify them in reason, with
widely opposite results. In England,
until recently, II was thought wrong
for a man to marry his brothers
widow, while n other nations 1t was
frequently made compulsory for him
TO DO so, he said. In England the III
stinct against incest was built upon
to an abnormal degree.
Doctor Kroeber told the story Of a
Pacific island mother who went to a
white woman visiting on the island,
telling of an awful wrong other people
had done in eating her baby. The
white woman, of course, had an equal
ly keen sense Of the wrong, but on
investigation, learned that the mother
considered herself wronged because
she had not been allowed to partici-
pate in the meal. This exempliied,
he said, the way people often attempt
to condemn an act in reason and do
so by directly opposite means. In
conclusion, he stated that we should
not go back Of our instincts, but let
them stand as reason in themselves.

PARLS BIRD CHARMER IS Old

Formerly. used to go fishing
sometimes, but that is a cruel pleas
ure. Charming birds is a much more
agreeable occupation. They all know
the hours when I come. When | am
sick in bed they fly over as far as the
arcades Of the Rue de Rivoli to see
if I am coming.
During nesting time 1t is perfectly
charming. My pensioners are then
scattered all over the gardens. Then,
instead of remaining in one place, |
move about / call out, and the bird
that has heard its name flutters down
through the trees and perches on my
hands to pick a crumb. The she

nests and come to get crumb for

ones have barely learned to fly, they

CURED HER BABY OF ECZEMA

Il can't tell In words how happy the
word 'Cuticura' sounds to me, for It
cured my baby of itching, torturing
eczema. II first came when she was
between three and four weeks old,
appearing on her head. I used every
thing imaginable and had one doc
tors bill after another, but nothing
cured It. Then the eczema broke out
so badly behind her ear that really
thought her ear would come of. For
months 1 doctored 1t but to no avail.
Then 1t began at her nose and her
eyes were nothing but sores. I had to
keep her in a dark room for two
weeks. The doctor did no good, so
stopped him coming.
For about two weeks I had used
Cuticura Soap for her every day,
then / got box of Cuticura Ointment
and began to use that. In a week
there was a marked improvement. In
all used two cakes Of Cuticura Soap
and one box of Cuticura Ointment and
my baby was cured Of the sores. This
was last November; now her hair is
growing out nicely and she has not
scar on her. 1 can not praise Cuti-
cura enough, I can take my child any
where and people are amazed to see
her without sore. From the time
she was four weeks old until she was
three years she was never without the
terrible eruption, but now, thanks to
Cuticura, I have a we'll child" (Sign-
