Scientists Charter Yacht to Visit
South America.
Characteristics of Country and Habits
of Tribes That Live There to Be
Studied for Months by Mem
bers of Expedition.

Philadelphia.-Aboa the Mermaid,
a 120-foot steam yacht, the members
of the University of Pennsylvania
South American expedition left here
for the Amazon. The yacht will voy-
age by way OF Porto Rico, Barbados
and Trinidad to Para. at the mouth
of the Amazon. and will then steam
up the great river into one of its up
per tributaries. proceeding up the IN
charted stream until the shadows
check her. She will then be moored
and serve as headquarters for the ex-
ploring parties. which will use the gas
oline launch and canoes with which
she is equipped in order to reach those
points on the river which are not
navigable by the yacht herself. When
the observations shall have been CON-
pleted in any given locality the coilec-
tons will be assembled On the yacht,
which will then pass on to the next
tributary to be explored. Para or
Manaos will serve as a base of sup
plies. according to the region OF the
Amazon basin to which the expedition
directs its attention for the time being.
The main purpose of the expedition
is to study the Indian tribes OF the
Amazon valley, which have not been
studied in detail, and to collect for
the university museum specimens OF
their arts, industries. customs ano
modes Of life. Their songs will be re-
corded on the phonograph, and their
dances and various activities will be
reproduced by the moving picture cam
era. Systematic studies will be made
of the native languages, religious and
social systems and decorative art. In
brief, the expedition seeks to furnish
as complete record as modern meth
DDS can afford Of the native life of the
Amazon valley and to illustrate these
studies by adequate collections assem-
bled in the university museum.
The remoteness and seclusion OF
many of the tribes which will be
studied is indicated by the fact that
such a condition as that reported on
the Putamay river can exist in the
face of modern civilization and with
out interference from any local gov
eminent
While the study of native life forms
the main object of the expedition, 9TH
er aspects of exploration will not be
neglected A medical investigator will
accompany the party for the purpose
of studying beri-beri and other fatal
diseases peculiar to the Amazon re-
gion, and the fora and fauna OF the
country will receive due attention.
The man selected by the museum TO
have charge of the expedition is Al
got LANCE, whose experiences in the
jungles of the Amazon two years ago,
when accompanying a party of rubber
hunters, nearly cost him his life.
With LANCE will be associated an
ethnologist. a naturalist. physician
and a moving.picture photographer.
The physician chosen for the post is
DR.. Franklin Church of New York.

farms OF the United States are mort
gagged, according 10 bulletin issued
by the Census Bureau. This bulletin
shows that in 1910 the total number
OF farms operated by owners and mort
gagged was 1,327,439, while 1921, 2S3
were reported free from mortgage
The average amount OF mortgage in
debtedneSs per farm increased from
S1,244 in 1890 TO s1,715 in 1910, but
the average value per farm increased
from S3,444 TO s6,2S9, which shows that
the owners equity doubled.
The value OF the farms and build
ings which were mortgaged was
placed at $4,000. 100000, while the
amount OF mortgages was S1,726,O0O-
000, or - per cent. of the value.
The proportion Of mortgaged in
debtedness is higher in Iowa and Wis
consin than in any Of the other States,
and yet these States are among the

GIRLS I'm ENGLAND.
ASK SQUARE DEAL.
Declare Fact They Do Not Have
Equal Chances With Bows
Causes Discomfort.

LONDON, May 25-Resuming her
role as the mouthpiece of the insrtie-
ulate," Miss Josephine Knowles again
discoursed at the Steinway hall on the
subject of unmarried daughters.
Since her last lecture she said she
had re2e4vr3 hundreds of letters from
girls who were unhappy. who were liv-
ing at home and who were cared for in
the way of food clothes and necessa-
ries, but were without the command of
a sixpence. and had no training or edu-
cation fitting them to earn their own
living
1t had been suggested that immigra-
ton on large scale, such as she had
suggested, was not sufficiently drastic
remedy What did her critics put for
ward as an alternatives lethal
chamber? At any rate, her solution,
Miss Knowles declared, was based on
sound common sense. For here in Eng
land we had a large number of super
fluous women and in the colonies men
were wanting wives and unable to find
them
It was incontestable that there was
at the present day a great mass of
women and girls in this country who.
for one reason or another, were out of
the running They had practically no
separate eXistence-they could say, Il
will do this or that" and had to qualify
II by adding, IF they will give me the
money" Was it to be wondered at that
there was a great and growing restless
ness among women, and was anybody
prepared to say that IT was not a
danger?
The great reason was that middle
class girls had not enough scope and
outlet in their parents hands. They
used to be content with their needle
work and their pianoforte but those
days were past, and it was the anti
quated point of view still held by many
well meaning parents which CALLED and
made them unhappy.
They could not conceal from them
selves that parental love often was
cloaked by good deal of petty tyranny
which kept the girls of the family in an
upholstered cage. They were kept in a
narrow grove by what seemed an in
visible spell, and until that spell was
broken and girls were given equal
chances with the boys, women would
not be content.
