H The dancers were all dressed In
white cnftans or in the blue shirts Of
the lowest classes. says Edith Whar-
ton in Scribner's. In the sunlight
something that looked like fresh red
paint glistened on their shaved black
or yellow skulls and made dark
blotches on their garments. At first
these stripes and stains suggested
only gaudy ritual ornament like
the pattern on the drums; then one
saw that the paint, or whatever 1t
was, kept dripping down from the
whirling caftuns and forming fresh
pools among the stones; that as one
Of the pools dried up another formed,
redder and more glistening. and that
these pools were fed from great
gashes which the dancers hacked IN
their own skulls and breasts with
hatchets and sharpened stones. The
dance was blood rite a great sacr-
fetal symbol, in which blood flowed
so freely that all the rocking feet were
splashed with it.
Gradually, however, it became evil
dent that many of the dancers simply
rocked and howIed. without hacking
themselves, and that most Of the bleed
ing skulls and breasts belonged to
negroes.
Every now and then the circle wild
ened to let in another figure. black or

getting religion" and rushing for
ward to snatch weapon and baptize
himself with his own blood; and as
each new recruit joined the dancers
the music shrieked louder and the
tlevotees howled more wolfishly. And
still, in the center the mad mara
bout spun, and the children bobbed
and mimicked him and rolled their
diamond eyes.
Such is the dance of the Ha

lied, killed himself in despair, and, the
ielf-intlicted wounds of the brother
hood are supposed to symbolic the
slaves suicide; though no doubt the
origin of the ceremony might BE
traced back to the depths of thats en-
s;lnguined grove where Mr.. Fraser

Principal Aid to Learning.

In 1856 the schoolhouse in the
mountain grove district of Cedar
county, otherwise known as Postum
Hollow, was not a very elaborate at
fair. reminisces Joe Upton of the e.
dorado News. It was built Of logs
with mud chinking. The door was in
the front end and a part of one log
was cut out of the rear and on each
side to admit the light. There was
no glass for window panes. The floor
was the bare ground. The seats were
made Of logs split in half with the
bark side down and four stobs driven
in them for legs. Books were few
and there were no blackboards. It
was heated by fireplace which with
it's flue was made out Of logs daubed
with mud. Yet there those children
got somewhat of an education, princi-
pally because they wanted to get it.

Egg-Layinu Contests:

There is sport and profit combined
in the latest contests that are engaging
the attention of certain parts of Eng
land where farmers and others have
started egg-laying contests to deter
mine what class of chickens are the
best layers and what farmer has the
best egg producers. -Four hens are Sc
lected, the test runs from the first Of
October to the first of February, a gen
erous period of time in the midst of
winter, when the test has real mean
ing. There are cash prizes of generous
amounts and many people are watch
ing the records as they are made pub
lie. With eggs at IS cents per dozen,
as they are in Columbus, hens that
will work faithfully during the cold
months of winter are hens worth hav-
ing and the tests might be held here
with as much of sport and quite as
much of profit as in England.-Ohio

A county that is still to achieve the
development Of some of the counties
further south, yet the 3,249 citizens
here are assured of seventy-three miles
OF the proposed total of nearly 1000,
miles of hard-surfaced highway in the.
proposed BabcOck trunk highway sys-
tenn.
At an estimated cost of $4,000 a.
mile, there will be $2,19O,OOO spent
here
Yet at the estimated average rate Of
$500 a year for each car, the 2,674
motor vehicles registered from this
county will only pay yearly total of
$4S, l32 into the state road fund. The
license fee is to be fixed by the legisla-
ture after the amendment has been ap-
proved by the people.
Government experts have estimated
that saving of 2 cents a mile results
from the operation of a motor vehicle
over hard surfaced roads. as against
that over earth roads. If these 2.674
motor vehicle owners only operate
their cars over LOCO miles of this road.
they will save each year $53 4SO
There are 1000 miles of road in the
county, but if we subtract the seventy ,
three miles to be hard surfaced, = there
will be l,l27 miles of road which can
and will be graded and graveled from
the county road and bridge fund. :
Summing up, it is seen that Mar
shall county will receive seventy-three
miles Of hard-surfaced road, 1,127
miles of good gravel road, and the
yearly savings from the operation of
the motor vehicles over hard roads.
But these will not result unless
Amendment No. is approved at the
November elections.-St. Paul Dis

REFUGEE In Luck.

A Brussels refugee returning to his
native village found his home destroy
ed beyond repair. Out Of material
from abandoned army hutments he
built new house and, attending auc-
ton sales, gradually replaced his fur
niture. At one of those sales he came
across an old picture in very mod
est frame and covered so thick with
dust as to be almost indistinguish-
able. In a sporty way he bid for the
picture and it was knocked down to
him for $50. He cleaned the picture
and found it was an old Flemish
painting. Taking it to an expert. he
was offered $4,000 for it. The
painting was found to be an authentic
Rembrandt. H.. $50. -

DESERTED infant
STARVED TO DEATH

Left in Rock Creek Park, apparent
ly to starve to death, the body of a
" hite male infant, about one year
old, was found yesterday by Francis
Smith, 1927 Twenty-sixth street north
west, and removed to the District
Morgue.
Efforts of the police today to find
a clew to the identity of the mother
failed, as the baby was without
clothes. and was wrapped in a piece
of black cloth. The police are trying
to trace the cloth.
They are puzzled over why a moth.
err in these days of apparent pros
perity should have deliberately me-
elected her baby boy. The child has
light hair and six teeth.
According to william Schoneberger.
District morgue superintendent, the
child died of starvation. "The body
is skin and bones" remarked Mr..
Schoneberger. He added the child
might have died before being taken
to the park and abandoned.

Waldorf has been estranged from her
husband for seven months. Divorce
proceedings were about to be filed
by her. Ensign Collier, who was
aware OF her trouble, was helping
her all he could. IL is said.
Last Sunday night Mrs. Waldorf

room. About 10 o'clock she was pre-

Two other men and two women also
had been aboard the destroyer as Col

A number of friends have called at
the Naval Hospital at Norfolk to see
Mrs. Waldorf. Among these was En-
sign Collier, who remarked. "If she
dies, I want to die also"
Authorities at Norfolk say they
have reason to believe the name
Waldorf is fictitious, and this is
born out by fact that records in the
Navy Department here fail to dis
close any record of the woman $

disclose the name of her husband,
who is known to have been in the
