Men and women alike were daily massaged with this scented oil, every muscle being gently manipulated, with skill seldom found in modern mas seilse. Usually two or three hours were required for the operation. At its conclusion the skin was like velvet Tn texture, without a trace of oiliness They treated their hair in similar manner and the wonderful. luxuriant tresses were probably due to the at tention given them in the use of coco oil and massage.
 Beyond the preparation of the sin gle daily meal. her massage and such tappa or mat making as desire or ne- cesslty prompted. the life of the Mar quesanne was devoted entirely to pleasure.
 The marriage of the Marquesan maiden to the youth Of her choice was an interesting ceremony. A home for their occupation was built by their friends and the various necessities for connubial happiness placed therein.
 
 "The maiden was taken in charge by several young matrons, to be mas saged with perfumed oils and her hair and body decorated with wreaths and garlands of flowers The youth was consigned to the ministrations of two older women. who rendered him sim liar service, besides smoking him thor oughly with the fumes of sandalwood. At the appointed time the scented and garlanded pair were escorted by the village to their fac. or hut, where the king with much ceremony declared them tapu for two weeks.
 "For the period of the tapu none might speak to them or in any way disturb their honeymoon, Food was left each morning on their terrace, to- gether with baskets of flowers to be woven into wreaths and garlands by the happy couple"

Washington. There can be m doubt tha- today this drunken. disease ridden remnant of the Marquesan race IS beyond redemption and all the French colonial administration can do IS to pursue it's present policy of nomi- nal supervision and let the natives die off as speedily as possible" Such is the pathetic epitaph, written by John ". Church, in a connmunlca- tion to the National Geographic so- ciety, of d people whose women were pronounced the most beautiful in the south seas, whose dances were the most joyous. whose tattooing was d fine art and whose island home was an alluring Eden before the white man came.
 'sTo describe the dainty, graceful Marquesannc as she unQuestionably was, will, fear. lay me open to the charge of exaggeration," writes Mir. Church.
 Attractions Beyond Compare.
 'When a woman possesses beauti- ful, luxuriant hair, fine eyes, perfect teeth. slender, graceful form, skin of velvet texture and unblemished sur face, and these physical attractions are combined with vivacity of spirit and action exaggeration becomes diffi- cult and unless all chroniclers of the islands have for several centuries agreed to deceive the world such was the Marquesanne, and so she is today when sickness has not diminished her charm.
 1T doubt seriously if more carefree or contented maiden ever existed. Her domestic duties were light and agree able. The furnishings of her matched shelter consisted of few pandanus sleeping mats-nothing more. Outside on the stone platform w,is aa .sssort- ment of bowls. crudely carved by the men in their intervals from warfare. These held poipoi, fish, fruit or what ever of food might be prepared for the only daily meal.
 "Then there were dainty coconut shells, ground thin and polished by rubbing on stone under water, often carved which held the coco oil and other preparations for the toilet, dear to the heart of the Marquesanne.
 T have mentioned the use of coco oil by the Marquesans. Probably no race ever attained a greater skill Tn the art of massage-certainly none ever practiced it more constantly. The oil was obtained by filling large wood- en bowls with the meat of broken CO., counts and placing them in the sun. Into the oil thus drawn the intenseiy fragrant blossoms of pua or the seeds of the spicy, aromatic lime were thrown. scenting it with a delightfui perfume

Cecil C. Mccormick, the big 6-foot-3 soldier, son of Mir. and Mrs. George Mccormick, came home Christmas morning from Fort Bliss, Texas, on 30 days furlough. He has nearly two years yet to serve in the regular army. He is one of the boys recently so flatteringly mentioned by newspa- per sport writers, who picked him for center on the 1920 All-Fort Bliss foot ball team. The papers credit him they call him "Shorty"-with making a 75-yard kick, the ball sailing square between the posts and over the cross bar.

 Wrinkle No. 8; which proved to be a very popular wrinkle with those in the game, was the sampling by quali- fled experts of the liquid in the kegs so that Judge Jones might know whether it really was kicker or not. So Dr. Felix Manning, Wid Raudebaugh, representatives of The Sun and The Leader, and a few others were called in to smell the stuff. The experts re- fused to render a decision, whereupon the officers strained the liquor of and permitted each expert to take small drink. The unanimous verdict was that it was flicker, all right, probably about 12 per cent; that it would get better as it got older, and that it would be necessary to have several more meetings before the experts could feel justified in putting their opinions in writing.
 Meanwhile Judge Jones is awaiting the verdict of the experts so that he can render his verdict. So Cerda is doomed to stay in jail at least until the experts have drunk the kicker all up.
 Judge Jones yesterday decided to wait no longer for the experts ver- dict and gave Cerda 90 days in jail and fine of s100.

 that kind of collateral. MT. Gold ad- vised him that this county wanted cash; if Mr. Pratt took anything but cash, he would have to convert what he got into cash and send the cash here. He advised Mir. Pratt to make the men pay in coin of the realm or get out.
 This week Mir. Gold received word from Pratt that he had arrested three. of the sheepmen, his brother-in-law among them. Mir. Gold wired word back to keep right on arresting them.
 MT. Gold has the backing of our county supervisors in the matter. They agree with him, that, no matter what Mohave county does, it is up to this county to protect its own inter- ests. It is ridiculous, they say, to wait three, perhaps five years. for the test case to go through the U. s. supreme court before collecting. Then, if the decision upholds the validity of our grazing laws, all the sheepmen will have to do is to sell out, go broke, or anyone of hSlf dozen other things and then they can laugh at us for Jet tlHS tnctH SioLc ou tflS SLUG all S1dt time without collecting. If the final decision is against our grazing laws, our officials say, all they will have to do is to return the money collected in fees.
 Last fall the collections from Utah stockmen amounted to more than $13,- 900. This fall, so far, $2,500 has been paid into the county treasury by these men.
 Mir. Gold says that there is time to arrest the non-grazing payers a good many times between now and May, the month in which they usually move their bands back into Utah. He be- lieves the medicine Seegmiller needs is arrest, heavy fine and a few months in the county jail.
