FINDS GREENWICH VILLAGE IN FAR
 AWAY ISLANDS

New York, Aug. 25-(Special Cor respondence) - Frederick O'Brien, author, of White Shadows in the South Seas" and many South Seas articles, has discovered one of the strangest lodges in the world. Com posed entirely of those specially tal- ented members of the human race whom society almost universally agrees to set free from normal obliga- tions, tribal compulsions and tabus seem to have sat lightly upon them (although they controlled them for others). and they constituted a sort of Joyous perarnbulating Greenwich Village.
 'eThe Arioi," MT. O'Brien says. in the September Century, was a lodge of strolling players, musicians. poets, dancers, wreStlers. pantomlm1StS, ana clowns in their time of Advertisement, the merry men and women of the Pacific tropics
 The strangest thing about them is that they killed, without exception, all of their children. That infanticide is . comon among primitive peoples IS we'll known; in areas where the food supply is limited it Is one of those plain necessities which obliterates what-peoples with an elastic food sup
  | regarding as morality. But this ex- traordinary sect killed every child. The Arioi fathers and mother" MT O'Brien continues "strangled their children Or buried them alive imme- diately after birth. for it was consid- cred infamous to have them. and their existence in an Arioi family would have created as much conster- nation as in Tibetan nunnery.
 "Bach Arioi had his own wife, . member of the society. Improper conduct toward Arioi's wife by an Arioi was. punished often by death. To. a. woman such membership meant singular freedom from thet abus. pro- hibitions that forbade her eating with en, tasting pig and other delicacies She became the equal and companion of. the most interesting of her race, and talent in her received due honor. She sacrificed her children for a ca reer. as is sometimes done today less : bloodily.
 "Naturally, such a society was at tucked by the earliest missionaries, devoted and self crificing men that they, were, with all the hot-headed zeal promoted by complete ignorance of ethnology and primitive social con- /. ditions''
 Yet their singular customs were the outgrowth of their condi- { tions of life, and the sect had, says ! O'Brien, many elements of refine ment -and genius," while infanticide had "evidently .. merely preserved a supportable maximum of numbers. and it remained for civilization to doom the entire people"
 These Tahitian players are dying out, says Mir. O'Brien, "and there are | barely two thousand of the exquisite race living"

TAFT STILL FOR LEAGUE WITHOUT
 RESERVATIONS

Civilian Howard Taft in the Phila- delphta Public Ledger. Aug. 1, 19z0D
 When MT. Wilson brought to this country the league covenant as re- ported to the Paris conference,tI urg- ed, on the same platform with him, that we join the league I thereafter commented amendments, some of which were adopted into it's final form.
 Had I been in the Senate I would have voted for the league and treaty as submitted; and I advocated its rat ification accordingly. I did not think and do not now think that anything in the league covenant as sent to the Senate would violate the Constitution of the United States or would involve us in wars which it would not be to the highest interest of the world and this country to suppress by universal boycott and, if need be. by military force.
 I consider that the moral effect of Article x on predatory nations would restrain them from war-as the de- claration of the MonroeEDoctrine has done, and that the requirement. of the unanimous consent by the representa- tives of the great powers in council before league action would safeguard the United States from any perfer- sion of the high purpose of the league. Moreover, I believe that the issue of the league transcendS in it's import ance any domestic issues and would justify and require one who believes so to ignore party ties and secure this great boon for the world and this country Es

MITzI SCORES HIT IN NEW
 PRODUCTION
- (Reviewed by D. L. S.)

Amid a roaring thunder of ap- plause, Mitzi, the clever juvenile com medicine, bowed before a most re- sponsive and appreciatdve audience at the Park theatre last evening in Lady Billy excelling in the various parts she portrayed. For fully ten minutes at the close of the second act a cordial ovation was extended her, as she was enshrouded by huge bou- quets of flowers.
 Mitzi was supported by such well known stars Sydney GreenStreet, who played the role of Bateson; the eyer faithful servant at the Castle ~of Rounania- He was responsible for many. laughs with his drole line of cockney. He is a natural born commedien and not compelled to re- laughs. His methods are intelligent and refined and his part proved a de- cided hit with the audience.
 Beatrice Constance who portrayed d the part of Anastasia, Queen of Greenwich Village, scored a personal success, in her premiere performance on the theatrical stage. Arthur Ut try, as Senor Manuel, holds difficult part as the irate Spaniard, which he handles to advantage. Jean New combe, the social climber, was splendid as was her charming daugh- ter, . Eloise, played by Josephine Adair, who is the possessor of sweet suprano voice. Boyt Marshall is a handsome hero, as plain John Smith, owner of an American railroad. His clear tenor voice was pleasing and his work in the duets with Mitzi was most commendable. In fact, each member of the cast contributed every effort to please the capacity house. Perhaps Mitzi's most popular song number was the duet sung with Boyd Marshall, entitled. ''The Legend" in the first act. The entire musical score is colorfuI, tuneful and haunt ing and rather tends to verge on light opera. Magnificent scenery and gorgeous costumes are displayed. The piece is rich in dancing num- bers with Beatrice Col1inette as dan seuse executing several steps in orig inal costumes.
 Last nights audience proved that Bridgeporters actually enjoy a good production and are willing to support many of the same calibre.

hold,'' '"The New Baby Sleeps With
 Its Mother"
 Mitzi has been an utter. contradic-
 ton to the stereotyped methods Like the long line of those who have attained fame, from the indulgence
 practiced by Rachael Levine to her 1ove-son, Alexander Hamilton, she has
 been humored, petted and permitted
 to grow naturally. She developed naturally and that is why today, she is not a bundle of nerves, but the most normal, happiest little creature in the world.
 She has busied herself with music, since the day her mother took her home from St. Petersburg, Russia, where she went because she thought she wanted to be a dancer. In this she was humored. Both her father and mother broke all nursery laws for Mitzi and she stayed up nights seeing funny plays and hearing good music, when other children her age were tucked in bed in a Mother Goose decorated room. Her originality is the natural devel- opment Of leniency, -: She has always been law unto herself. That is why she is the only ''Mitzi.'

Do you know the latest theory of scientists regarding the most import ant member of any household-the child?
 In the past, magazines have been filled with articles to mothers DO Not Spoil Your Chi1d,'' Indulge Your Child and Let It Rule You,'' Never Take Your Infant in Your Arms" and See Your Child Once A Day.
 Hospitals have taught mothers that babies must sleep in separate beds; institutions have preached Let the Baby Know It Can Do Without Moth er,' and the state from an institu- tional viewpoint has advocated the adoption of a mechanical system, whereby baby's life is to tick off by a Big Ben and no event must disturb the cold, calculating system, that gives the youngster it's food when it does not want it and a bath, when 1t wants to sleep.
 The new theories, now creeping .nto the life of the baby in the home, the institution and the state, is ''Hu- nor Your. Chi1d,' Be Human and Pet Your First and Last Born,'' Make Them King of Your House

BALLOON RACES EXPECTED TO BE
 MUCH IMPROVED

New York, Aug. 25-Greater gas capacity than heretofore and lessons of construction learned during the war indicate that the national and in- ternationa1 balloon races scheduled to start from Chicago in September and October will set up new records for distance in these events, it was said here today by Aero Club officials in charge of the contests.
 The National event, due to start September II, will see IS contend CTS lined up, each aspiring to be one of the three who will defend the Gordon Bennett cup which has been in America since being lifted from France in 1913 by Ralph Upson, of Akron, O.
 Among the IS are several who have brought fame to the United States through victories in the international balloon classics. Epson, present in ternationa1 title holder, entered as soon as the race was announced and is regarded by many experts as hav- ing an excellent chance to win.
 Three bags have been entered by the army Air Service, one by the Navy and another by the Army Bal loon School, Fort Omaha. The other 10 balloons have been entered by ci- williams,
 - The entry of the balloon school will be piloted by A. Leo Stevens. who, with Professor David Todd. of Amherst College, won fame last spring by an attempt to pick up radio -elec- tric waves from Mars through a re- ceiving station 30,000 feet above the earth.
 The second race which is to start October 23 will be the fourth time that the United States has defended the Gordon Bennett international trophy since it's foundation in 1eo6
 The only other country which has won the cup more than once is Ger many, which will not enter in the 1920 race. The entries: II in all. are France three, Italy three, United States three, Great Britain one and Belgium one.
 Although America is the title hold CT by virtue of winning the last race, France has an unbeaten record for distance, made in 1912 when Maurice Bienaime covered 1,361 miles with ican record of 1,172 miles set up in 1910 by Alan R. Hawley.
 The ballooon "Belgica'' of 2.oOo ed by the Aero Club of Belgium. If will be piloted (by Ernest Demuyter who contested in the race of 1912 which was won by France and in which H. E.

PILGRIM PACENT BEING PRESENTED
 AT NORTH TRURO

Boston, Mass, Aug. 25.-The first ter centenary Pilgrim pageant of the year { is being presented today at North Truro Mass, way down along Cape Cod, in natural amphitheater over Hooking a fresh water pond where the Pilgrim Fathers camped. One hun dred and sixty townSfolk of North Truro, Truro and Corn Hill will inn ,personate Pilgrimss Indians and sailors of the period. Features of the pa igeant include the footing of a deserted 'wigwam by the Pilgrims, duel be- tween two of the Mayf1ower compa ny, fought over a maid servant, the kid mapping of lost child aby the savages and an exciting encounter between the Indians and Pilgrims. Between the episodes a group of bareDboted girls will dance four numbers.
 The historical facts set forth in the pageant are these: The Pilgrim Fa- Ithers first set foot on American soil November 21, 1920, at Provin cetown. PThe first expedition sent out from Ithe Mayf1ower to Hook out a place for 'haHbitation" went ashore November 25, .1620, and tTamped to North Truro, a flew miles up the cape. The Pilgrims had their drink of New England water somewhere between High Head and North Truro, Nov. 26, 1920. On the same date at Corn Hill they found the first Indian corn they ever saw, stored in baskets, buried in mounds of sand. This they took with them. It was this corn that later kept the Plymouth col ony fronf starvation. This important episode of the finding of the corn an- 1edates the Plymouth landing by about three weeks.
 The pageant has been in preparation for a year, and is largely in the hands of summer residents

IsYour Blood
 Starving For
 Want of Iron?
Without Plenty of Iron In Your Blood You Don't Get the Strength and Nourishment Out of the Food " Fat

When over-work lack of slee- improper food and impure air sap the iron from your blood and make you feel weak, nervous, irritable and out-of-sorts, 1t is. important that you should at put more iron into your blood. Without iron the blood loses the power to change food into living tissue and therefore nothing that you eat does you the proper amount of good because you don't get the full strength out of it. Your food merely passes through your system like corn through a mill with the rollers so wide apart that the mill can't grind. Be cause of this steady starvation of the blood and nerves people often become weakened. tired-out. nervous and rundown and ire cucntly develop all sorts of symptoms. But the moment organic iron-Nuxated Iron-is supplied a multitude of dangerous symptoms disappear in most cases. the flesh becomes frmcr. the muscles get back their strength and the roses of health bloom in cheeks that were pale and sickly looking.
 No matter what other so-called remedies "A you may have tried. if you are not strong, "vigorous, hearty and well, it to yourself to make the following test: See how long you can work or how far you can walk without becoming tired. Next. take two hve-grain tablets of ordinary Nuxated Iron three times per day after meals for two weeks. Then test your strength again and see for yourself how much you have gained You can obtain Nuxated Iron from your druggist on the distinct understanding that if. you are not fully satisfied your money win be refunded
