PRESERVED HUMAN HEADS
IN PHILADELPHIA MUSEUM
Said to Be 200 Years Old and of the
Maori of New Zealand

Philadelphia. Professor George
3. Gordon, director of the University
Of Pennsylvania Museum, has just re-
ceived through his agent in London,
three human heads which although
preserving the full contour of the
features, are approximately 200 years
old. They are the grotesquely tat
tooed heads of leaders of the ancient
Maori of New Zealand. who were
first discovered in 1870 by the fa-
nous explorer, Captain James Cook.
Professor Gordon explained that
the heads were preserved by a process
of smoking them and were kept for
the same reasons that Caucasions
keep pictures Of their ancestors The
heads are not gruesome or revolving,
even to the most sensitive and highly
imaginative person.
The faces are smooth and do not
suggest human flesh any more than
the face of a wax doll. The eyes are
closed and the hair Is well preserved.
The entire face Is covered with fan
ciful, though symmetrical figures,
tatooed during life. The Moiri are
the on'y tribe OF the entire PoIvne-
sian race who preserved their hads.
The people of Borleo also preserve
heads, but do not tattoo their faces
as did the Maori.
According to DIR. Golden, the pre-
served heads are very rare, there be-

WANT LAW PROVIDING
FOR FAMILIES OF CONVICTS
Movement Also Started at Spokane
TO Have Government Clear
Logged Off Lands.

Spokane, Wash.-John H. Wallace.
member of the state Industrial in
surance commission of Washington,
announced at the annual convention
of the State Federation of Labor in
Spokane that a concerted effort will
be made at the next session of the
legislature to pass a law. designed to
protect the families of men sentenced
to the penitentiary. The idea is to
change the present system, under
which the felon works fer the state
to atone for his wrong doing, so that
his earnings will go to the wife and
children, left at home and frequently
destitute and in want.
The delegates expressed their ap-
proval of the plan. and, while no for
NAL action was taken by the organ
ization as a body. 1t is likely that a
campaign will be launched in a short
time to crystalline the idea into a
measure, which will be submitted to
the state legislature at its biennial
session early next January.
H L. Thomason of Standpoint. Ida
no, delegate at the yearly meeting
Of the Pacific Northwest Hardware
and Implement Dealers association,
interested many visitors from various
parts of the Pacific slope and inter-
mountain country in plan to have
the federal government assist in
clearing logged off lands in the west
He said:
"The cost of clearing cut-over
timber land is high and on that ac-
count it is difficult to induce settlers
and prospective homebuilders to go
into the districts The government
makes large appropriations for the
opening of rivers and the reclamation
Of lands, as it should, and we who
live IN the timber districts think it
also should give similar aid in the
clearing of valuable lands no wstudd-
ed with stumps but adapted to the
highest form of agriculture. 1t
would benefit the entire country and
provide low-priced lands for thou
sands now crowded in cities"

would be compelled to work where
directed by the state and during
their sentence. The plan was ac-
cepted by the convicts, all eager to
pledge their honor not to escape.
The recent escape of two convicts
has aroused Indignation among the
other convicts and thirty of them
raised 1921 in amounts of from 81
to $40 and forwarded it to the gov
ernor as a reward for the apprehen-
sion and return of the fugitives who
violated their own honor and aspers-
ed that of the convict body.

Many See Prison Scenes.

So great was the crowd which had
been attracted to the Cosy theater
last night to see the scenes taken
at the famous Joliet prison and to
hear the lecture in connection as de-
livered by Charles H. Hampton, a
former guard at that prison, that the
sidewalk in front of the theater was
packed with people waiting until
room was made for them. Accord
ing to all accounts the pictures were
extremely interesting and justified
the intense interest displayed.
