PARIS SEWERS OPEN TO "V'
SIGHT SEEING PARTIES.
Famous in History and Literature
Have Been Closed Since Beginning
of the War

Paris, June (By Maill-The spring
opening" of a sewer system might no.
be looked on everywhere as a social
event, invitation to which would be
eagerly sought by distinguished guests
but the formal opening of the Paris
sewers today was such an affair. Ad
mission was by card only and i'm
portant American Army officers were
eager applicants for the cards.
The sewers of Paris, which are ia
nous in both history and literature,
have been closed since the beginning
of the world war. In the meantime
thousands of Americans have applied
in vain for permission to inspect the
sewers-some of them civil engineers
interested in the structural problems
worked out in the system. some of
them students OF literature who
wished to inspect the places in which
Jean Vatican had hid from injustice.

Rubber-S Oil.

The Journal of Industrial and En-
cheering Chemistry calls attention to
q rel ort of the agriculture department
of the Federated Malay states on the
oil from the seeds of rubber trees as
a substitute for linseed oil. The oil is
of high quality. requires but little re-
tinIng and comes from a waste prod
uct that is available in great quantity,
and that is easy to collect, transport
and store and easy to crush. Expert
nents with a consignment of 81 tons
of seeds sent to England resulted in a
yield of $3.50 a ton for the oil and $40
a ton for the residual cake Linseed
oil at that time was selling at $500
ton.

" HELPS MINIMIZE
B0LSHEvlSM
Besides Regular "Y" Features huts
Maintain Systematic Educa-
tional Campaign

Paris (By Mail)--The most serious
worries of the new Czecho- Slovak Re-
public are the food situation and boil
shevism, the latter partly resulting
from the former and partly from Mag
var propaganda, according to Irving D.
Kimball of Lowell, Mass, Y. M. C. A.
secretary from Prague, who is in Paris
for supplies.
Food from the United States,
brought in under direction of Herbert
Hoover, already noticeably is reliev-
ing the food short age, Mr.. Kimball
says, and the Y M c. A. is doing
much to minimize bolshevism.
When the first army of Czecho- Slo-
yak troops who had been with the
French entered Prague January 3 Mr..
Kimball, who had been with the Foyer
du Soldat, was with them and now
twelve Y. NJ G. A huts, directed by
Mr.. Kimball and E. J. Wright of Ok
lahoma are in operation in Bohemia,
Besides these athletics, reading and
writing rooms, cinema and entertain
ment features these huts maintain
systematic educational campaign
against bolsheyism, so effective has
this campaign proved that the
Czecho- Slovak army has arranged
with the Y NJ c. A to increase it's
number of centres from twelve to
fifty during the present year The
plans call for twenty new centres in
the next three months and thirty
more after July.

F|J|AN'S DAY OVER
picturesque South Sea Islander
Is Disappearing.
ADVENT of the White Man, With His
civilization and His Business
Ideas Too Much for Once
Dreaded Savage.

The Fiji islander, whose cannihaJ-
istlc practices long made him favor
lte with writer's of fiction and huaor
is Following the Malayan pirates and
the rowing pearl thief of the South
seas into the realm of memory. A
turbaned half-caste Hindoo is ren,oc.
Ing the once bloodthirsty and ALWAYS
picturesque native of the Fills.
1t is the white mans civilization
along with the white mans vices and
the tIJlan's utter disinclination to
work that are blotting out the race
The Fijian Of today is no longer war
like, no longer a hunter and q fisher
man. Instead he is a lazy smoker of
the white mans tobacco, a lover of the
white mans enlivening drinks and a
patron of the white mans moving mic
ture shows.
lime was when the war canoes of
the Fijis piled the Southern seas !:
when the Fijian warrior was dread
ed person who displayed no fear in
battle and who enjoyed eating his slain
enemies once the conflict ended,
The Fijians, according to the early
travellers WHO came in contact with
them, were superlatively had. The
very name Fiji became a SYNONYM for
whatever was barbarous, inhuman and
cannibalistic. 1t seems that the eat
Ing of human flesh was both a mat
ter of religious rite and of enjoyment
with the Ffiian. Great feasts Of this
sort were prepared, especially after
successful battle
The bad reputation of the Fitans
kept traders and missionaries away
from the islands till long after other
peoples of that section of the seas
We're Christianized. Finally the white
man got a foothold in the islands
Trade of various sorts sprang up, for
the islands are wonderfully rich in
commercial possibilities The Fiiian
is child who cannot grow up. He
has no sense of commercial values and
no liking for toll. The white man
found him a Wretched worker and al
most unusable on the plantations that
We're laid out i'll the islands
That is the reason why the Hindoo
coolie has been imported into Fiji and
why the Fitian is disappearing. The
native cannot stand the double strain
of softened ways of living and of com
peting with the work-hardened native
of India.

You'll have TO be good natured,
