Solomon Island Clings
To Stone Age Customs
Tuneless Beating of Log Only
Music; Teeth of Flying
Foxes Used as Currency

LONDON, July / (By MaiD.-People
who are still living in the manner of
the Stone Age are found on Rennell
Island, in the Solomon group. Mela-
nesia, according to DR.. Northcote Deck,
missionary.
Dr. Deck says there are only 500 in
habltants and because of their isolation
through lack Of ships anchorage even
their dialect has never been studied
The natives only had implements and
weapons of stone and wood when Dr.
Deck first visited the island. They
showed great eagerness to barter home
made articles for anything made of
iron.
"The men are great fighters and
wrestlers. Their throwing spears have
points made Of human leg and arm
bones and tipped with a bone splinter
designed to break off in the wound. !"
says Dr.. Deck. "They seemed to feel
keenly the monotony Of their isolation
and showed settled melancholy,
both in their faces and the cadence Of
their voices. Their only sort of music,
to which they dance, consists in the
tuneless beating of log"
The teeth of flying foxes, which
swarm in the caves on the island, seem
to be the only form of currency known
there

Bloods and You Can Get
Palatable Luncheon There
for About $500 Crowns

LONDON, July 2 (By MaiD If YOU
are in Vienna and want to lunch at an
expensive and exclusive restaurant. go
to Sacher's, advises writer in the
London Daily Mail. But don't 20 there
unless you have companion who
knows the proprietress of this famous
old-fashioned restaurant. You may be
an art or sporting celebrity, or a war
made millionaire, but you cannot lunch
or dine at Sacher's until you have been
properly introduced to Nine. Sacher.
This restaurant is not for the mere
tourist or business man; it is only for
those whom madame knows by name or
who are vouched for by her friends.
Everyone shakes hands with madame
as he enters the establishment. She is
handsome old lady in a black, tight
lifting dress and coiffure of high
grey curls.
She keeps the restaurant terribly
select. but once you have become per-
soma grata there is no further trouble.
You may then bring a friend or two
to lunch or dinner, because your friends
are now hers
You can see there any day half the
arlstocracy OF Vienna. The day the
correspondent lunched there there were
half dozen counts, one princess, sew
eral state officials, and the Brazilian
Minister. Everybody seemed to know
everybody else. 1t was more like a
high-class club than restaurant.
In her little Office madame will show
you with pride signed photographs and
letters from half the (former) crowned
heads of Europe. Archdukes, counts,
barons and princesses jostle ONE an
other on the walls of the bureau.
Adjoining the restaurant is a shop.
but the doors are not opened to the
public. Only the patrons of her res
taurant are permitted TO purchase from
this select store.
You can lunch or dine at Sacher's
to-day as we'll and as plentifully as
you can in Paris. There is no lack of
food in Vienna for those who can afford
to pay for it.
A lunch at Sacher's to-day will cost
you $500 to 1000 crowns, and dinner
for party of four will not be more
than 10000 crowns.
1t sounds lot Of money, but when
you remember that instead Of ID crowns
to the British 81, as before the war
there are now more than $780, you can
see that, after all, the price is lower
than similar dinner would be in any
first class hotel or restaurant in Paris
or London

France Stays Death of
Condemned Highwayman

EPTNAL, France, July 21.-Antoine
Savin, the first man sentenced to death
in France for highway robbery with
violence and attempted murder since
the Middle Ages, has had stay of exc
cution granted by the Court of Ap-
peals. Savin in 1919 assaulted an
American soldier, George Goldman
leaving him for dead on the highroad,
after rifing his pockets. Although the
victim recovered. the death penalty
was imposed.
In pronouncing sentence the judge
specified that Savin would be guillo-
tined in the largest square in Epinal,
but the Court of Appeals has ruled
that the judge exceeded his authority
as, while he had the right to designate
the city where the execution was to
take place, he could not name the exact
spot.
Savin, the Court of Appeals has de-
cided, must die, but the public square
where his execution is to be carried
out must be designated by the Mayor.

Lodge Opposes
Bill to Finance
Farm Exports
Senate Leader Is Credited
With Voicing Feeling of
Administration Against
lOO-Million Corporation
Compromise Is Planned
Objections to Norris Meas
ure Same as Those Raised
Against Granting Bonus

From The Tribunc's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, July 81. = Admins
tration forces in the Senate, led By
Senator Lodge, majority leader, began
a movement to-day to defeat the Norris
farm export financing corporation bill
Senator Lodge in vigorous speech
opposed the passage of the bill, which
calls for a $1oo,0Oo,OO0 Federal corpora
ton and would put the government
into the business of handling surplus
farm products for export. Support OF
the bill comes from the agricultural
"bloc," including both Southern and
Northern Senator'S.
Outcome of the matter, it was said
tonight, probably will be a compro-
mise which will give the War Finance
Corporation the financing of exports OF
agricultural products.
Senator Lodge spoke to-day with
the backing Of the Administration, it
was generally understood. Secretary
of Commerce Hoover recently opposed
the bill before the Senate Agricultural
Committee. President Harding made
it known to Senator Norris when he
recently visited the Capitol on the SOL
diers' bonus bill that he did not favor
the Norris bill, but the Nebraska Sen
ator was unwilling to sidetrack it.
Senator Lodge held the Norris bill
would not be of permanent help to
the farmers. He declared it would
destroy the Liberty bonds of the
United States" and undermine the
financial stability of the government
and the nation.
at is the sort of legislation" he
said, chat leads to national insol-
vency and emulation of the Russian
printing press"
Pointing out that the bill would per-
nit the issue of bonds up to $1,100,-
100000 at special rates of interest,
Senator Lodge held this would ruin
government credit.
"a bill of this financial magnitude"
said Senator Lodge, requires an opin-
ion from the financial head Of the gov
eminent. | realize that the farmers
are in desperate straits, and that it is
proposed by this bill to create mar
ket for them. But no amount of money
market. What will give you a mar
ket is the return of the purchasing
powers of the nations abroad. Govern
ment aid at best cannot arrest economic
forces.
"The depression in various lines of
business is not confined to the farm
products of the South and West. In
dustrial activities are severely af-
fected as we'll The mines in many
states are shut down"
Senator Lodge referred to the fact
the soldiers bonus bill had been re-
turned to committee because of the
menace to financial stability involved
in it and thought it inconsistent with
that action to pass the Norris bill.
