GOING; AT Ter fllNH|TE
CANNIDALSV WITH GAS
(By Associated Press


New York, Jan. 2S-Mustard
gas and machine guns are to be
used by Captain Harry de Windt,
an English explorer, against the
poisoned arrows Of tribe de-
scribed as white cannibals" on
Tiburon Island, on the Pacific
coast, he announced here today.
Captain de Windt said he would
leave New York in a few days to
lead an expedition of six civilians
and three score Mexican soldiers
to the island. Tiburon is said to
have rich deposits of pitchblende
from which radium is made.
The island is about 40 miles
from Guaymas, Mexico, which,
in turn, is only about 48 hours
by rail from Coronado, Beach,
Cal. The inhabitants are said to
be descendants Of Dutch, Swedish
and German prisoners who es-
capped from Mexican prisons sew
eral centuries ago. OF sixteen
persons known to have visited the
island in the past few years, in
parties of two and three, only
nine are said to have returned
alive, the others falling victims
to the faxon-haired, blue-eyed
white Indians" as the Mexican
poems call them.
-Four miles from the Mexican
coast" said Mr.. de Windt, Tub
uron is easily accessible. Yaqut
Indians, who live on the main
land, call Tiburon the Island OF
Death for the reason that any
person who lands on it is shot by
poisoned darts and then eaten
by the natives. The cannibals
in addition to bows and arrows
use ancient blunderbuss. They
are supposed to number from SOC
to 1000 persons.
Besides myself, the expedi-
ton I will lend will consist OF
Mackenzie Grieve, the companion
of Harry Hawker when he fel

It's flight; an expert radium min

cession permitting the eXplora-
ton Of the island was issued; {

IN AUTO CIRCLES


1t has always seemed to me that
there is q good deal of sound Thilo-
sophy in Benjamin Franklin's state
ment that we should beware of
croakers. This advice is as sound
today as it was a hundred years
ago. All industry has been confront
ed with menacing conditions during
the months, and years just past but
L am optimistic enough to believe
that every major development in our
international growth, in our civic re-
forms and in our economic Fe-adjuSt-
ments viii lead US to bigger and bet
ter things for the future. Every one
of US should be an optin1ist, there
is no room fof pessimism.
By referring to one of my charts,
I notice that in 1905 there were $50,
900 automobiles in the country; fff-
teen years later we have passed the
seven million mark. Now I hear
much about the "saturation point"
and that other indefinite period when
we shall have Diminishing returns.
Automobiles come in the "consump-
ton class Of commodities; j., e.,
they are used, worn out-sand replaced
as an essential part of life just as
clothing is. I forecast that we shall
be able to absorb not only the pres
emit automobile production but we
shall even sustain the greater growth
which ambitious manufacturers are
meditating.
Hence it is q problem of production
and every citizen, from the mana
cement to the worker at the bench,
should do his share toward keeping
an uninterrupted flow Of raw ma
terials and finished goods going
through the mills, warehouses and
stores Of this country and every man
has right to share in the fruits
thereof. In no other line Of in
dustry are the relations between CAPT
tai and labor on a fricndlier or
sounder footing than in the automo-
tive field, hence there should be no
cause for apprehension.
So far IS passenger vehicles arc
concerned we are now at the crest OF
OF buying market. Production does
not equal demand and personally !
expect this condition to exist for some
time TO cine. I recall being told al
one Of the New ! orll shows way BACH
in 1907 that The then annual pro
duction Of G0,000 cars marked tbs
peak point III automobile manufacture
and that the number Of cars to be
made anntally would lessen rather
than increase. just Is that prophet
Of gloom was suffering from brain
storm so viii 7 also classify those who
today arc refusing to advance Will
the times. The proposed car pro-
duction for 1920 is 100000 cars. Ar
analysis Of the market, at home anc
abroad, shows an ability to sbsorf
even greater production, hence the
possibility Of a shortage Of cars is
imminent

lating to the third largest industry in
the country affects everyone. Thus
within the past ten years our cities
have undergone wonderful trans
formation. "A decade ago Chicago
boasted that it was forty miles from
one side Of the city to the other We
marvelled. But today cities having
population of only two or three hun
dred thousand spread themselves over
as large an area. In some of our
states the country is no longer rural,
it is interurban. Think what this
means for health and culture; again
think what it means for health and
culture; again think what it means
for real estate values.
A certain authority estimates that
for every million dollars worth of
automobiles produced there is produc-
ed another million dollars worth of
property value) Now consider how
important it is that we should have a
net work Of highways in every COM
munity for freight and passenger
traffic. Someone has said that HIGH
ways are the measure Of civilization.
| believe this implicitly. So in the
final summary my conclusion is that
the number Of cars produced during
the. years to come does not rest with
group of manufacturers in the cen
trail west, but lies rather in the hands
of the general public. Authorize the
building of suitable highways and the
manufacturers will motorize them,
greatly to the advantage Of the COM
munity and the individual.

colors of these wools were entrancing. One simply had to make a scarf whether 1t was needed or not--the lovely colors were irresistible and ones fingers ached to work with them.
 The favorite scarf this season Is about 80 stitches wide and some scarfs run 10 a hundred or even a hundred and ten stitches. and these wide scarfs are really shawls. They are very practical possessions and may be put to number of uses. The big, soft scarf may be worn around the shoulders 4nd drawn under the belt of a sport coat, or it will serve to slip on over thin frock when you run out on the porch with a departing guest. Or 1t may be spread across the knees like warm rug when you watch football game. or even used as an afghan when you lie down for forty winks on the lounge.
 Tan and brown seem the favored shades for knitted scarfs this year but there are any number of tan and brown shades Some of them merge into the fawn tones, others have cop pery hues. It is a good plan to match your scarf to your hair-if you have brown, red or auburn hair with golden glints in it. The woman with black hair should have a deep blue or green scarf, or a gray one with blue stripes. For the gray-haired woman a green and black scarf or a gray scarf with orange trimming, or best of all a ay-blue scarf with cerise striping! Cerise is almost always becoming to gray haired women yet oddly enough they seldom wear much Of it. leaving if 10 younger people while they choose the drab. neutral tints that have not enough contrast with their own color ing.

A few years ago every bride was loaded with cut glass which does make a brilliant showing for the amount 1t costs. But cut glass has fallen into disrepute for wedding gifts-it was so overdone = and brides should be thankful. If the bride is going to live in distant city and all her wedding gifts will have to be packed and sent by express-at her own expense, not yours. do pick out for your gift some thing that will not be too difficult to move. A fine old bit of brass or cop- per will be-much better than price less bit of breakable brlc-a-brac: modern electrical device will be bet ter than 8 fragile teaset- An Oriental rug will be better than framed etch- ing. If you send something that is likely to be duplicated. send with it a note asking the bride to exchange your gift or to get you to exchange it for her.
 There is no nicer or more accept able gift for a bride just now than linen. Fine household linens will en- dure for years and no woman can have too generous supply You can- not please the bride better than by sending her handsome linen table cloths and napkins. lunch sets, linen

one or two high-placed trimmings have been noted--exceptions to prove the rule of general width and fiatness. Not only are the hats low in them- selves. but they rest very low on the head. and this means rather large crowns. The size of a crown makes all the difference in hats becoming ness. Though women do not general ly realize 1t, almost any sort of brim is becoming provided the crown of a hat be exactly right. Since all heads are not the same size it is folly to expect every hat to look the same on every woman.

 A type of low. broad hat that is especially smart is the velvet turban embroidered with chenille flowers.

Un- W less the bride is someone near and dear. most people-when a we'd ding invitation comes with it's demand for something in the way of gift have at first thought good deal like this: "Of course, I have to send present.

If the bride is near and dear. one wants to give her something that she longs for; if she is only an acquaintance, or the yol ng daughter of an acquaintance, too often it is ease for ones self. not pleasure for the bride one thinks about.
