DEVIL WORSHIP

II n AMERICAN explorer has Just
~ returned to civilization after 4
visit to the interior Of Ecuador and
the homeland Of the JibaroS Indians.
This tribe Of head-hunttng savages
have lived In the same territory since
long before Columbus discovered the
Americas and have kept wholly free
from. the influence Of civilization.
The most striking evidence of their
failure to advance in the centuries
which have passed over them Is the
report of the explorer that the Jibaros
do not believe in a God. but that they
do worship devils.
1t Is practically the universal his
tory Of the developments OF all peo-
pies from the savage state to that OF
civilization, that the belief in devils
precedes that of q belief in God.
Before they conceive or defy q
ruler in the realm of good they estab-
iish a kingdom Of evil and nominate
a being supreme in the management OF
one or all forms of danger and misfor-
tune.
Herbert Spencer in his analysis Of
human worship bases religion on the
Unknown, declaring that the savage
first worships those powers which he
does not understand.
1t is the %savage's inability, because
Of his savagery, to trace cause from
effect that leads him to assign to totally
unrelated things the cause for what
he observes.
And since it is those things which
harm or threaten him with harm which
most concern him he establishes first
his devil causes rather than his God
causes. Ks.
He hears in the thunder the voice
Of a devil living in the sky who pun
ishes with the swift lightning and with
! fire. l&
He sees a devil in the wild beast
that kills his cattle. There Is Il demon
power that helps his enemies Of an
other tribe.
The white mans gun is an inven-
tion of some evil spirit and the drought
which spoils his crop or the deluge
which overtlows his lands ARE evil
dences to him of the activities Of
some powerful and %unfriendly spirit
which he must in some way appease.
~ i Be-
In some of the earliest written his
tory of this country. the narrative left
by Captain John Smith of Virginia,
there is much space devoted to the
devil worship of the Indians Of that
territory and the sacrifice Of children
to- quiet the wrath Of the evil ones.
ALI through tradition and history
from Set, the demon Of death and evil
In the mythology Of early Egypt down
to the Hopi Indian dances which take
place yearly in Arizona. there has
been a continuous story Of devil wor-
ship and rites and rituals intended to
appease his wrath and gain his friend

COTTON GOODS IN
 BEST POSITION OF
 THE PRESENT YEAR
Reports of Recovery In the Tire Fabric and Auto Spe-
 Cialty Fabrics Business
By Associated Press

New York, August 20.-The cotton goods industry is now in the best position it has held at any time this year. Signs of recovery in the cot ton duck division are still very few. but 1t is noted \that the largest producer has withdrawn low quota tions and has sold substantial quanti- ties of some of it's standard products for delivery for some months ahead. There are also reports of recovery in the tire fabric and auto speciality fabrics business.
 The market on drills is steadier and some of the heavy speciality cloths for general manufacturing purposes are being asked for. Print cloths, sheeting, fine combed yarn goods and colored cottons are now firmer and better sold than for some months past. Sheetings are especially well conditioned because of the substan- tial sales for export delivery and the large takings of the bag manufactur- ing trades.
 The wide print cloths are well sold through September and many con- tracts carry into october and later. The large corporation printers are all busy and the three largest have had the most active summer in years. This has been due to the very large sales of percales, and low end drap-
