 U-BOAT
 LOSSES

Geneva, March 4.-Germans are making every effort to conceal their suomarine losses, according to a Swiss engineer employed for the past 10 months at electrical work at K'cl and who has recently returned. Because of the increased difficulty ia mastering crews German naval officials particularly keep news or U-bcat losses from the navy. Dur ing the time he was at Kiel,I the eu-ineer estimates submarine loss cs were 30 percent.
 "I saw q score of submarines lined up in the canal undergoing re pairs," he said. They had been h't by depth bombs, which the Ger, mans seem to fear greatly"
 The engineer added there had been two serious mutsnies at hlel during 1917. --

 I: is estimated that the skip S op" arrangement as proposed would eliminate six billion stops per year, which along with pro posed heating regulations for cars would mean a saving of 1,5OO,OOO tens of coal per year. This quan- tity of coal will meet the fuel needs of 3OO,OOO average families. Another advantage will be to re lieve, in large measure, the con- gestinu of the overloaded street railway systems, and provide quick CT service. ".

lars of brocaded or embroidered silk or
novelty weaves in cotton are a means
for securing variety. Belts are mar
row and plain. Small collars end

neck, which may be of the same cloth

Wool velours, gaberdine, serge, Bur

of silk and wool, with wide landings

conduct, although simple, is strict.
They worship in their homes, and in
the fields, but have no priests.
They have no written language and
no literature of any sort. But they
have a number of curious folk tales.
One is somewhat akin to the Adam
and Eve story. Lumawig, out of love
for his people, sent an old couple to
earth with a new food for the lgorot
tribes. The old couple on certain
day were TO explain its use to the
mortals, but the latter became curious
and could not wait until the appoint
ed time. Two of the IgOrots stole the
bag In which the new food was hid
den. This so angered Lumawig that
he said the Igorots thereafter would
have to till the ground and gain their
food by the sweat of their brOws. The
new food was rice. 1t today is the
great staple of the people. Rice
and sweet potatoes are the only things
they raise.
Another legend tells Of the origin of
head hunting. In warfare the lgorot
always brings home the heads of his
victims. One day the Moon, which is
woman, was beating out brass. The
young child of the Sun stood near by,
watching. His scrutiny angered the
Moon, and she threw a stick at him,
causing decapitation. The Sun then
appeared and put his child's head back
on his trunk, declaring that because
Of hA
would henceforth cut off each others
heads when in wrath.
Know How to Irrieate.
Although primitive in their planting
and harvesting the Igorots mastered
all the details of irrigation. This is
the source of their prosperity. They
have terraced all the mountainsides
and raise two crops of rice year.
While the Igorots as a race are
small, they are exceptionally well de-
veloped. They are great mountain
climbers. Dress reform does not both
er them. A thin breechcloth and a
happy smile make up their costume,
which they wear the year round. They
are much like the aboriginal Indian OF
America in many customs, one in par
ticular being that the women do all
the work, while the men sit around in
indolent ease, smoking green tobacco
in ill-smelling pipes. The women and
children smoke, too.
Superstition enters into their cures
for sickness. When a part of the body
is injured they tattoo little stars all
over the spot believing that by this
means they will drive out the little
devils that have taken up their abode
there. Being exposed to the sun and
weather at all times they are constant
/ ly shedding their skin. When death
occurs in a family the natives take
chicken meat and other foods and n
great feast is held, followed by a wild
dance similar TO the dances of the
American Indians. The body is then
buried, and the personal belongings Of
the dead person are handed among the
relatives and the visitors depart. For
ornamentntlon the women gather little
berries, which they string and which
are then plated in the strands Of their
black hair.
They relish dog meat, and after they
have fattened a dog on rice they have
a barbecue and wild dance, beating
doleful music from the copper and
brass and wooden tomtoms.
But with all their quaint and saw
age customs the Igorots are patriotic
to the American flag now, and want to
go to the trenches for the Great Apo.

is not large but very pretty inside.

THE villages remind me of the

donkeys are used. Wooden shoes are
