CELEBRATING THE NEW YEAR
How the Javanese Devote Week in
June to Observing This
Holiday.

The Javanese New Year starts the
first week in June. The natives take
about month to prepare for 1t, and
all workers absent themselves from
their regular employment until their
feast days are over. 1t is time when
they buy their new clothes (sarongs).
These are gayly cOlored cloths, two
yards wide and about a yard or yard
and a half long, that both men and
women fix around their waist, cover
ing them to the ankles. The men
wear white coats and the women
white or colored jackets. To get the
new clothes, the servants usually ask
for a loan from their employers which
takes months to pay back. Then they
decorate their kampOn, or district,
with gayly colored paper and lights,
these usually being made of oil in lit
tie cans fixed on the ratings made of
bamboo sticks.
The native does not drink intdxi-
cants, so does not get drunk on hclf-
days, but he must have an outlet for
his happiness ard he finds 1t in fire.

other source of entertainment. While
she sings she sways her body to and
fro, accompanied by drums and other
strange instruments. To them 1t is
soul music and they revel in it.

they come back to their work. says

ANIMALS ARE DIRECTED

violence is never necessary,
and therefore inexcusable, ne
says. you can get any effect
you want by simple trickery."
Doctor Ditmars, In co-opera-
ton with Charles Urban, movie
producer, is now filming the Fa-
bles of La Fontaine-those de-
lightful old animal stories which
subtly illustrate human frailties
using the animals of the zoo
as actors. To make the fables
effective, the animals must pOr-
tray humor and tragedy, pleas
ure and anger, and various other
emotions quite as cOnvincingly
as human screen stars. And they
do.
Suppose we want to photo
graph a scene which shows the
elephant presiding over a meet
ing of the other animals" said
Doctor Ditmars. According to
the scenario, the elephant asks
the monkey what fault he has to
find with himself, and the mon
key can find none. I can swing
from high limbs he boasts, and
run fast; but / feel sorry for the
bear. He is big and clumsy and
very slow, I'm told The ele-
plant then turns to the bear and
asks him what complaint he has
to make concerning himself. The
bear does not share the mon
keys view. He is strong and
can crush his enemies beneath
his giant paws, and he gets
splendid rest cure every winter;
but there is the poor little fox.
He feels sorry for him. The fox,
however, feels sorry for one of
his neighbors, and so 1t goes on
clear around the circle of ami
mails, illustrating the human
tendency to excuse ones own
faults while decrying the sins of
ones neighbors.
Finally, the elephant becomes
disguised. He must register
great anger and contempt, turn
ing wrathfully from one side of
the animal group to the other.
We got that by placing man
the elephant liked on one side
of him and another whom he
hated on the other. 1t was as
simple as that.
"We get bear to stand on his
hind legs by placing on a roof
or ledge above him (out Of the
cameras view, of course) a man
who holds an apple in his hand.
Food is the great bait. You can
always get satisfactory re-
Spouse with it. Really, it is
case Of directing the food and
letting the animal follow his
natural bent"

MORE evidently than ever before,
4vA peace in Ireland is up TO Ulster.
if the guesses of the London CORE
spondents are correct. The Sim Fein,
it is said, has submitted specific plans
which the government thinks may be
feasible If Ulster agrees to them.
Consequently, the cabinet asked Sir
James Craig, the Ulster premier, to
go to London for consultation. The
plan, 1t is believed, provides for the
extension Of powers and the demOcra-
tization of the council of Ireland to
make it really national parliament,
with Ulster consenting to come in as q
province, retaining its autonomy. The
scheme would call for plebiscite in
the counties of Fermanagh and Ty-
rome, to determine whether they should
adhere to southern Ireland or Ulster.
So far the utterances of the Ulster
leaders indicate that they will not
countenance anything leading to the
diminution of the area under the con-
troll of the Ulster government. How
ever the Sim Fem delegates were very
hopeful last week that common
sense agreement would be reached be-
fore long.

NEXED by the predatory designs
of the little entente against Hun
gary, and the demands made on that
nation, the allied powers came to the

Hungary should surrender former EN-

TO ALL PEOPLE
Campaign Will Open in

ONE DOLLAR will be asked from
every citizen of Colorado to IN,
~ sure the erection of the proposed
State General Hospital to cost 1900
600. The hospital will be built in Den
yer, with Colorado materials and Col
9rado labor.
The General Education Board has
contributed 100000, the state Legis-
lature 100000 and the balance OF
5000. 900 is being asked from the people
of the state. For every dollar given
by a Colorado citizen $3.50 in outside
money will be contributed. Unless
100000 is raised by popular subscrip-
ton, the offer of the General Educa-
ton Board will be withdrawn.
Denvers share of the subscription
is set at $113,996. The intensive cam
paign here will be from Dec 8 to Dec.
10. Volunteer workers representing all
classes and occupations will cooper
ate.
Every adult citizen will be asked to
give at least one dollar. Unsolicited
subscriptions are already coming into
headquarters. Several citizens have
sent in donations of one dollar for ev-
ery member of their families.
The hospital is not for the treatment
of tubersulosis, but to take care of
complex diseases, which require the
services of specialists of the highest
order. It's services will be free, and
at the disposal of all citizens regard
less of creed or color. 1t is an econom'
ic necessity, say those in charge of the
campaign, and will perform an essen
tial duty of the state to its citizens.
The hospital will be located in Den
yer because of this city's superior rail-
road facilities, which make 1t most ac-
cessible from all parts of the state
Moreover, the new buildings of the
medical school of the University OF
Colorado will be located here, and the
hospital will have the services of IFS
skilled medical staff and of many
prominent local physicians and sur
geons.
