MAKING A DYAK BLOwPPE.
Requires More Skill Than any Other
Instrument or Implement of
Primitive People.

Popular Science Monthly: Although
one of the simplest of weapons, the
blowpipe used by the Land Dyaks of
Sarawak, North Borneo, requires more
skill in the making than any other in.
strument or implement of primitive
people.
No thin sapling sufficiently straight
or strong for a blowpipe is to be found
in the forests of Borneo, so the laborious
method of working down a large piece
of wood has to be resorted to. The
wood most favored is called yong by the
natives. 1t is heavier than water AMI
of very tough texture even after
a couple of years seasoning. The yong
log is rugged up vertically in a scaffold-
ing, and almost on level with the up
per end of it is platform upon which
the driller stands The task of the lat
ter is to run perfectly straight hole
three-eighths of an inch in diameter
through the whole length of the log.
AS the hole deepens, longer handles
are attached to the chisel blades, the
last being as long as the log itself. The
driller is invariably an old man, with
years Of experience behind him as n
drillers apprentice. Considering his long
training, the accuracy of his work is
remarkable. Only after the hole Is
completed, tested and found true is the
less careful but still laborious work of
shaping down the outside Of the log
taken up. This is done first with axes,
then with the parang or native knife,
and finally by scraping.

BRITISH SOCIAL AND
INDUSTRIAL ISSUES

Liverpool, June 2. Professor
Conner of Liverpool University re-
Gently gave an address before the
Liverpool Rotary club on "The Pres.
ent Situations and Some After.the-War E
Problems" The address dealt chiefly
with the consideration Of some of the
social and Industrial problems upon
the solution of which the permanent
welfare of the country depends.
Professor Conner said he believed
that good environment and education
were the two essential factors in any
sensible scheme for the elevation Of
the masses. The war had tended to
break down the wretched distinctions
between class and class. He hoped
that social conditions would be i'm.
proved by movement in favor of
proper housing reform. He thought
that a good environment was an essen.
tial foundation for any recreation Of
society. After the war all classes
would be appealing for greater and
wider educational opportunities than
they had in the past. One of the
most necessary reforms was the estah.
lishment Of a compulsory system OF
continuation of education after the
age OF IA. Such a system would be OF
little value If 1t was voluntary or il
the instruction was given in the eve.
ming after a long working day. Room
would have to be found for II during
working hours, 1t might be partly
technical, but should be largely
in the nature Of a liberal education
continued. With regard to Industrial
relations he thought that they must
recognize that the level of wages was
going to be raised, and he hoped that
the level of work was going to be
raised as well. Employers should
endeavor to interest their employees
more in the work in which they were
engaged, and try to see that what
they learned in the continuation
schools bore some relation to the call.
ings Of the place in which they were
to work. He believed that a system
Of profitsharing would not, in itself,
be satisfactory, unless the employees
were represented on the controlling
board.

CAPTURED SERBS
ARE POORLY FED
Facts Revealed Concerning Food Given
Prisoners Of War In Austria
and Germany.

New York, June detailed reports
of the condition of Serbian prisoners
of war in Austria and Germany are
contained in a letter written by Prof.
Sima Losanitch in Paris and given
out by the international Commission
on Serbian Prisoners.
'The lack of all necessities in those
countries is great, but most severe IL
the lack OF bread" writes Prof. Lousan-
itch. This fact has been established
by reports of 600 Serbian prisoners
who had been severely wounded and
were exchanged for German prison
ers. These men are now in Nice. They
report that they were short of food
in Austria, and that they must have
passed away long ago but for nc
Italian prisoners who shared with
them the parcels containing food that
they received from Italy. They can
not say enough praise of the com.
radeship of the Italian prisoners who
were beside them in the camps, and
who as soon as they heard that our
men were Serbs would Immediately
pass over the scraps of bread or other
food as they had They also say that
the prisoners of the other nations who
were near were most friendly and
shared parcels when they had them.
"In Austria.Hungary our prisoners
receive 200 grams Of bread per day
Qess than eight ounces) At noon they
have a vegetable soup with a small
piece of horseflesh and morning and
evening a drink of chicory. That is
their whole ration. In Germany the
prisoners receive 800 grams of bread
a day, and the vegetable soup and
chicory, but no meat.
THE great misery among the pris-
oners must be relieved and our gov.
ernment has applied to the allied
governments to give us the means Of
sending food especially bread, cloth
ing and all other necessarles to the
prisoners. All these countries, France,
England and Russia, have answered
by putting at our Disposal 100000
francs each for the purpose, that is
100000 frances to start with. An IN
ternational Commission has been ap.
pointed with a delegate from each or
these governments. l am the dele
gate of the Serbian government. This
international commission has its head
quarters in Paris. There is an Inter.
national commission for the distribu-
ton Of food to prisoners Of all ma.
tions allied and Teuton, with head
quarters in Berne. NJ f. A. Neville
is president Of it. From Berne as a
center they have been sending four
kilos Of bread per month to each Ser
bian prisoner. This committee has the
most experience in distribution to
prisoners, and is the best organized
so our commission will work through
them"

recent session Of the legislature. said
today that the petition is being signed
very rapidly and will have sufficient
signatures by the middle of June, when
the bone-dry law will become effective,
to suspend the operation of that law.
1t Is the theory Of Mr.. Patton and
other lawyers who have become inter-

laws Of Oklahoma are not such as TO
make effective the new act of congress
prohibiting shipment of liquors into dry
territory in contravention of state laws,

the liquor situation in Oklahoma as it
Is at this time. This theory of the

the courts. however.
