SING TO SETTLE QUARRELS
Eskimos Have Peculiar Manner Of

envy Must Listen.

The EskimOs, who live in the ice.
bound, barren N%orthland, have a way
OF settling quarrels which seems very
strange and amusing to those who live
In a land of policemen and courts Of
justice. There, when quarrels arise
the man who has n grievance writes g
song in which he tells the wrongs that
have been done him. When this ha.
been composed to his satisfaction, he
invites his enemy to come and heal
him sing it. This the enemy must do
and he brings with him all his rela
tives and many of his friends, while
the singer also has gathered his friend,
and relatives for the occasion, which
Is considered something Of a general
entertainment by the people of the vii
lage in which the men live.
Then, while other men of the village
pound madly on huge drums, the SOM
Of wrongs is begun. When it is fin.
lshed, if the audience expresses an.
prOval, the singer is considered to have
won and to have a just cause of com.
plant. But if dissatisfaction is ex.
pressed, that is considered sufficient
punishment. After the song everyone
dances and the party breaks up in
great good humOr.

Conron, Chicago meat packer, who was
at the Hotel SEVERN recently, accord
ing to the indianapolis News.
Conron had in his pocket a contract
to send to the fort 175,OOO pounds of
meat. The contract also called for s.
600 pounds of butter and 5000 pounds
OF best Oleomargarine. Conron says
that meat packers are encouraging the
public to set aside a meatless day. He
estimates that the average family will
require two pounds of meat a day.
Figure it up," he said, land you will
find that the American public will save
in the neighborhood of 10000, 900
pounds of meat every time they OBJ
serve a meatless day."
