Arizona Tribe Lives Isolated

h H~avasupai Indians OF north
ern Arizona, known by few white
men, have just been made the subject
of scientific study.
The younger men among the Hav-
asupai claim to have seen the first
white men ever to come among them.
They live in the bottom of CO..
ract Creek, a gigantic chasm which
joins the Grand Canyon of the Colo-
RADIO In western Arizona. The near
est traders store is 100 miles away,
and a nearly waterless desert lies be-
tween 1t and the p~recipitous trail into
the narrow canyon. The CANYON
walls are 1900 feet high-four times
the height of the Woolworth Building
with sheer sides to which the
horse-trail clings until IL plunges In
zig-zags down a corner of the wall.
Leslie Spier, of the staff of the
American Museum OF Natural His
tory, has brought back to New York
a collection showing the lifo o. tNIS
people. The collection had to be
transported up this twelve-nilie 4o.Ay
trail on horseback.
The canyon bottom in which they
live Is an oasis In the semi-desert
which covers northern Arizona. Here
great fields of corn, beans, squash
and fruit are raised. The tribe is
wholly self-supporting. Wild seeds
and cactus are gathered on the sur
rounding mountains. Deer, antelope,
mountain sheep and wild turkeys
abound.
The H~avasupai live in shelters
matched with reeds. branches and
earth, In summer, and often in natur-
al caves n crevices in winter. Ine
women make baskets, which, when
lined with pitch. serve as cooking
utensils. They depend on deer-skin
for clothing,

BUENOS AIRES. Oct. 30.-The
purchase of two and n half million
tons of Argentine wheat by the AL
lied governments has brought good
profits into the pockets of German
grain brokers in Buenos Aires, despite
strict instructions that none of h Al
lied wheat was to be purchased from
Germans.
Today, in addition to having made
a nice profit put of the Allied trade.
the Germans have about a million
sacks of wheat stored along the
wharves to be sold some of these days.
probably back to Argentina. at prices
much above cost.
When the Allied Wheat Convention
was signed. there was a scarcity or
grain sacks in Argentina. They could
not be bought at any price within rea-
son. Most of them had been carefully
packed away in German warehouses.
AS soon as the wheat convention was
signed and people began to turn their
attention to buying wheat, the GEL
mans kept III of wheat pits and de-
voted all their energies to buying
sacks. They bought the entire outputs
of the few Argentine factories and
then they began cornering the sack
market in Uruguay.
This enabled the German agents to
control the sale to the Allies of a part
of Argentina's wheat crop.
