CANNlBALISTIC INDIANS
NOTFOUND IN BRAZIL
BY Miles Nv. Vaughn

UNITED Press Staff Correspondent
Rio de Janerio.-(By MaiD-
There are no cannibalistic Indians in
Brazil. That is the word of the ia
nous Rondon commission, headed by
General Rondon of the Brazilian
army, which has been in close contact
with all the tribes Of the nation for
nearly quarter of century.
The general characterizes as equal
" fantastic tales of various Ameri-
can explorers who claim to have dis
covered tribes Of white giants in the
Brazilian interior.
In a report recently published here
the commission says:
"One general observation of prime
Importance has been verified carefully
in the case Of all tribes yet encoun-
tered in Brazil--no evidence what
ever has been found which would in
dictate the existence of cannibalism. I"
4 General Rondon asserts that he has
personally investigated the canyons
where the Indian tribes are accus-
toned to throw the bones and refuse
from their feasts, and that no human
bone ever has been encountered.
The total Indian population of Bra
iii is estimated at about 1000, 900, Of
which some 10000 are in the great
state of Matte Crosse Chick Woods) :.
In most of the wild tribes the law
of monogamy is vigorously enforced,
except for the Cacique, the chief,
who is allowed to have as many wives
as he wishes. The commission explains
that this is in order that cross-breed-
: ing may improve the race. Many Of
the inter-tribal wars are attributed to
the desire of one Cacique to capture
few of the priced wives of some
neighboring ruler across the river.
The commission has found that
practically all the interior tribes cult
vate fields of grain and beans and are
generally peaceful, home-loving peo-
pie, who receive the white man with
friendship if they are properly ap-
preached. 49,.
Among the more remote tribes the
use Of alcohol is almost unknown, but
those tribes which have come in con-
tact with white settlers have been
decimated by alcoholism and syphilis.

Charges wrought during the last
year by births, deaths, and marriages,
affect materially income tax returns
for the year 1920. Millions Of babies

whom brings an exemption Of 5000
in the parents income tax return. (
Boys and girls who have become
self-supporting, and whose parents al
low them the use, of their earnings

Of taxpayers. Each must file a re-
turn and pay tax on his or her in

of 81 900. 1871 .. >>.$ -. ~ =
Widows and widowers who lost
their husbands or, wives during the
year 1920 are especially affected.
They are single for the purposes Of
the. income tax law, and are granted
only an exemption Of $1,000, unless
the head OF a family. Persons who
were divorced or separated by .mu-
tual agreement during the year also
must consider themselves as single
persons. &a, &,.~-2' - : ~
Widows and widowers are not re-
quired to show on their personal re-
turns income Of husband or wife up
to- the date Of death. The income Of
q decedent is considered separately,
and return must be filed by the
executor or administrator Of the
estate. "A decedent is entitled to ex-
semption fol, the full taxable year,

The status Of taxpayer on Decem-
Der 81, 1920, determines the amount

made for the 81 900 exemption. If
