DISEASE EATS CHILD IN RE-
LIEF III WILL CURE HIM
OF RANAGES.

Seoul, Correspondence of
the Associated Press)-Justifying his
act by the Korean superstition that
the eating of human flesh is cure for
leprosy, a Korean leper named Sin
4ungsyun has confessed to the MUIR
der OF a five-year-old boy whose mu-
tilated body was discovered in field
in South Cholla province. According
to the police the accused also admit
ted that with another leper he killed
a girl in the mountains on September
Is, and that both had eaten Of her
flesh.
Lepers in Korea hitherto led a mis-
cradle life. With the exception of
those cared for by missionaries in a
small hospital near Fusan, they have
been left to roam at will and exc out
their own living. The superstition as
to cannibal cure is very general. Not
infrequently cannibalism has been re-
ported from the remote districts.
Count Terauchi, until recently gov
ernorgeneral, took up the le.per prob
lem vigorously last year and as re-
suit an island called Sorok off the
southern coast of Korea has been sell
ected as the seat of leper asylum
1t is proposed to take at first some
hundred lepers selected from the thir-
teen provinces in proportion to the
in each. During their stay

the widespread migration of south

negro leaders and white economists
have joined forces and at mass meet
ings which are being held generally
are pointing out that no permanent
gain awaits the average negro in the
north. 1t is estimated that fully 1O0,-
900 negroes already have left the
Southern states since the northward
movement began last summer.
Alluring offers of high wages and
easy work made by labor agents in
all parts of the south appear to have
met with general response from
negroes in all sections. Varied rea-
sons have been advanced for the APP
parent Willingness of SO many negroes
to leave their homes.
A serious shortage in the cotton
fields next spring and summer is fear
ed if the exodus continues.

months ago it was not viewed serious
ly but when labor agents were sue
cessful in inducing thousands of neg
roes to go North to work, employers
