 Another custom of Malekula seems equally narrowing. If woman dis closes a gap in the rows Of her gleaming white teeth it means that she is married and that the> older women have performed this operation in something of the playful spirit in which rice throwing sometimes is in dulged in at an American ceremony
 "The male Malekulan is a crack marksman with the bow and poisoned arrow, and as inveterate a clubman as wealthy bachelor. In many islands of the New Hebrides each village has it's club house, and upon his standing among his club fellows, de- bends his rank in the community.
 Moreover there is combination community forum, public dance hall and children's playground under the hanyan tree of nearly every native village.
 There are many differences be- tween the Malekulan and the natives of other islands. though most of them are obviously Malanesian, from their thick. woolly hair, coal black skin, fiat noses and heavy lips. The Nal ekuIans are accorded the palm for ferocity and cruelty by many travel lers, though they are not unique among the Hcbrides natives in these respects. On some islands ire women expect to be buried alive with their husbands bodies.

HAWKER'S BAD 5LuNpER.

Nothing but surprise can be mani tested at the attitude which Harry HaWker displayed at the luncheon given in his honor in London regard ing the accomplishments of the Amer ican seaplanes and their operators and the steps that were taken to insure the safety of the lives of the fliers.
 Regardless of the credit that may accrue to him for the daring that he displayed in attempting to cross to Ireland from Newfoundland at the time he did, when as he admits he was forced 10 make the try under conditions that were not perfect just because the Americans had reached the Azores. it shows unytnIng but the spirit Of a true sportsman willing to recognize the attainments of a rival when he casts aspersions at the Amer ican success. the courage and ability of our aviators and the qualities of the machines.
 Ships were stationed at frequent in- tervals across the ocean. That was a wise precaution, though it wasn't the ships alone that accomplished the crossing by the Americans. The fact is that Hawker would have brought more credit 10 himself had he re- trained from saying what he did. That very statement shows him a poor loser. Hawker's faith iii his engine didn't save him. Where would lie have been today had it not been for the little Danish steamship?

 MACHINE.

Elections do not cone around so of
 ten but what people get bit rusty in regard to the way to operate the vot- ing machines, simple though the pro- cess is. For that reason it is advisa
 ble that any who do not feel quite con- fident about certain details should make it a point to step into the cor ridor of the city hall and satisfy him. self regarding those points. There are
 those who will be pleased to answer all questions and explain any points
 that need to be cleared up.
 Though the matter has been ex-
 plained time and again there are those who carry the idea that the machine
 is complicated and confusing. Such is far from the case and the seeker of
 information regarding the operation
 invariably finds that what he believes
 is an obstacle does not exist.
 There are those for instance who have been told, or gotten the impress
 sion otherwise, that it is impossible to split their ticket without a great dea! of trouble or that when there arc several candidates for the same office, such as councilmen for instance. four

OUR FOREIGN TRADE.

That this country is experiencing big foreign demands for it's goods is
 made perfectly plain by the report of the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce to the effect that the April exports surpassed the previous high record by nearly one hundred million dollars. The previous high mark was attained in January when the exports were valued at $623.0OOO0o while in April goods to the value of $715, 1000, 900 were sent out of the country. In April of last year the exportations reached the total of $5O1.OOO, 900, while the to- tai for the ten months period ending with April of this year reached $5,- TO5,Oo0OO0 against $4,SS4, 100000 for the ten months period ending with April of last year or a gain of s821.- 100000.

Malekula distinction inheres in the wooden ancestor images found there. These eftigies display a resemblance to human beings and attest a latent artistic taste in their crude coloring.
 Trouble in the New Hebrides is nothing new. In 1904 an Anglo French expedition was needed to check a native uprising and nearly two decades earlies the French inter vened to suppress a vigorous out break.
 The New Hehrides were diseov- cred by a Portuguese sailor early in the seventeenth century; explored somewhat and named by Capt. Cook a century and a half later, and were declared neutral by Franco s and Great Britain in 1878. Later agree ments provided joint control and ad- miniStration.
