Twenty Million
Lives Go Far
2 Years War

LONDON, Dec. 23-"The total de-
struction of life during two years of
var will reach 20.o00,000 persons
declared Professor Louis C. Parkes, of
the Government Health Service, at
the annual meeting of the Royal In
stitute of Sanitarians, just concluded
here.
The speaker expressed the hope,
however, that this loss of life might
somehow prove a blessing in disguise,
resulting eventually in distinct i'm
provement in European civilization.
I'm the past ages" said Prof.
Parkes, evolution of higher types in
animals and vegetable life has gener-
ally resulted from cataclysmic chang
es. and great destruction by plague
restilence and famine, has led to an
advance in civilization. So it is pos
sjble that this Armageddon may be of
ultimate benefit to humanity"
Touching on the lowering birthrate
in Great Britain, the speaker declared
that every country in Europe has
shown a decreasing birthrate during
the past decade, with the exception of
Bulgaria, Rumania and Ireland.

'.sOUTH SEA NATIVES
ION A DRESS PARADE

SUyA, Fiji Islands, Dec. ga re
markable display of native South Sea
pageantry was seen in this town, the
capital of the British crown colony re.
Gently on a day named for raising
funds for the South Sea Islanders
| wounded in the British army.
/ Fijians, Tongans, Samoans. Solomon
Islanders, Chinese and Hindus, to-
gether with whites, were in the pa
rade. A thousand Fijians we're dressed
as in the old days of tribal wars. Each
man had his face blackened and he
carried a war club or other native
weapon. The costume consisted OF a
kilt of green and yellow grass inter-
twined with tape, the native cloth made
from bark, painted and lined by the
Fiiian women. Some of the men wore
huge bows of tapa about their waists.
The upper portion of their bodies, how
ever, was bare, and their powerful
muscles glistened in the tropical sun.
The Solomon Islanders were CARRIED
more wildly in glazing reds and bril-
liant blues.
After the parade the natives spread
a mat upon the ground and threw up
ON it their contributions to the fund
coins, yams, cocoanuts, live poultry,
tapa and other things. The proceeds
in all amounted to about $4,000 cash.
Five hundred Ffjians danced to the
beating of wooden drum at lali and a
barbaric chant. They went through a
warlike pantomine in which clubs
were brandished and feet were stamp
ed in rapid but complete unison. Then
the pantomine came to an abrupt end
with wild yell.
The dance of the Solomon Islanders
was even more weird The music was
produced by reed instruments and the
musicians wore uncanny DISCUSSES, OF
which long shaggy hair, like that of
the witch dovtors, was a feature. Each
dancer carried curious swan-like OBJ
ject painted with characters like
Egyptian hieroglyphics.
The Tokelau Islander gave a spear
vance. Two lines of men facing eacn
other challenged each to combat and
began series of evolutions so sug-
gestive of their actually thirsting for
blood that Tokelau women rushed up
to the actors and stopped the dance.
The men then Invested themselves OF
their grass and tapa armor and, wrop-
ping themselves in mats, sang mum
Der of native songs.

End of Hypocrisy.

Dr.. John B. Price, director of attn

lowing anent the Brickley case, and it
seems only fair that his views should
be published. He writes:
Ny Dear Mr.. Daley:
During the past few days | have

had received payment for some ath-
letic service.
If it were absolutely possible in these
American colleges to live up 10 the
strict meaning of amateur" the ques-
tion of who could compete in intercol,
legiate sport would be easily assured
to wit: Only those who are fnanei-

What sort Of democracy is this! II
