CHA-cHAs ARE POOR MIXERS
Marines Say Tribe in Virgin Islands
Plainly Indicate They Want to
Be Left Alone.

Washington.-United States marines
who have hobnobbed with Filipino
headhunters, and have long been
friendly with the Chamorros of Guam,
met their Waterloo when they tried to
establish the entente cordiale with the
Cha-Chas of the Virgin islands.
According to the marines the Cha
Chas are poor mixers" They.live on
the west side of the harbOr of Char
lotte-Amalie, decline to mingle or in
termarry with the negroes, and resent
any outside interference with their
affairs. They are the hardest drinkers
and best workers on the island, their
industry bringing them a good living
as fishermen and weavers of straw
hats. The tribe is said to have come
originally from the Dutch and French
Leeward islands. slF BG H4-.
So far the marines have taken only
long distance observations Of the Cha
Chas. For while the tribe is not hos
tile, its members plainly indicate that
they want to be left alone.

BATTLE Big SHARKS
Hawaiian Sportsmen Risk Their
Lives at Game.
Dead Horses Make Best Bait, and
Sport Has Been Com
merclalized.

I Honolulu.-Using the carcass Of a
horse for bait, Honolulu sportsman
went fishing recently in a pOwerboat
lpnd returned with a fish weighing
1880 pounds and measuring almost
90 feet from tip to tip, the largest
ihark killed in Hawaiian waters fer
many years.
Shark fishing or rather, hunting,
Is it is conducted in Hawaii, is a
Ihrilling sport, not entirely lacking in
sanger to the hunter.
In fact, death battle with a har-
pooned shark, according to big-game
hunters, is about as safe as a midnight
combat with hungry tiger.
Sharks, in their death throes, have
been known to attack the boat and
with their powerful rows of serrated
teeth rip great sections from the sides.
The shark hunter first obtains a dead
horse, and if it has been dead week
sc much the better
The powerboat towsy the carcass out
side the harbor and the hunt is on.
Sharks, attracted by the odor of the
bait, gather in large numbers and soon
begin striking at the carcass, ripping
huge chunks of flesh from it.
At this stage the hunter endeavors
to work his boat near enough to permit
a shot with the harpoOn.
Once securely harpooned, big shark
will fight for hours before succumb-
ing. t34ftRk8 ~
Recently in Hawaii shark hunting
has been placed on a commercial basis,
and the development of a big industry
Is forecast.
Shark fins are deemed a great deli
cacy by orientals, and dried shark meat
has found a ready market.
The canning of shark meat is being
considered. The livers yield a valu-
able oil.
