Well Attended

The musical revue, "Fads and Fan
cies of 1921" given Tuesday evening

enormous output Of munitions from
his greatly enlarged plants and by
issuing public loan. Meanwhile he
built up the Banca Italiana di Sconto,
as the chief hacker of the Ansaldo
company.
Immediately after the armistice

shares of the Banca Commercials. and
practically succeeded. but his oppon-

HEAVY DECREASE SHOWN

MALL deceeases in thu
native population OF the Marquesas
Islands, two thousand miles south by

have resulted from the ravages OF
disease and the adoption Of many
modern customs recently, according
to DR.. g. 8. Handy. sthnologist OF the

months on the islands gathering data
on the origin OF the .Polynesian race,
habits and customs of the natives,
and their ethnology and anthropology.
Fifty years ago the Marquesas Is
landers probably numbered between
$4,000 and 100000" DR.. Handy said.
To-day there are only about 1900
natives, with a scattering of Euro
peans. Smallpox decimated the pop
ulation in the northern portion of the
group, and pokoko, q particularly
swift and virulent form of tubercu-
losis, played havoc in the south"
He expressed the belief, however.
that the Marquesans would never
disappear, but that "the fttest and
strongest" small remainder. will
be able to resist disease. Sometimes
whole families had been taken off
with pokoko within brief period, he
said.
