PARIS ENJOYS SUNSHINE
IN BUS AND TRAMWAYS
By Edwin w. Hullinger,
Omitted Press Staff Cofrespondent

Paris, April 2s.-Parisian business
men, laborers and shop girls prefer
to ride home from work midst sun
shine and pure air-in other words,
in omnibusses and tramways-than
descend into the gloom and foul
odors of the subways.
Transportation statistics furnished
the United Press by the Paris munich
pal bureaux show that underground
railways lost 4O,OO0,000 passengers
during 1920 alone. A large proper.
ton of these shifted to the omnibuses
despitetthe fact that the BUSES charge
higher fares.

year 100000, 900 rode in tramways
and 18O,0O0,0O0 in omnibuses, as

I !! Officials attribute the popularity
l:of the buses both to the fact that
they are speetlier and more direct and
to the more pleasant conditions OF
travel. There is no question Of bet.
ter advertising or competition, be-
cause all lines in Paris are owned by
the city.
Fares have doubled, both surface
and underground, since the end of
the war. Subways now charge 80
! centimes for second tickets and SO
for first-class. Omnibus fares (short
rides average 25 to SO centimes,
while tramways range from Is to rs
centimes.
Both street railways and subways
were operated at heavy loss until
January, 1921, the deficits running
from 20 to 40 per cent. Owing to
the slump of 30 per cent in the price
of coal, however, executives hope to
make the ledgers nearly balance this
year.
It would not be accurate, however,
to pretend that surface lines are "su-

Paris has the finest and most ex-
tensive surface railway system of any
city in Europe. It embraces about
800 kilometers of track, as compared
to the subways total Of only 112 kilo-

NEW GUINEA HEAD HUNTERS
Periodical Forays Were Until Conn.,

Thing in the Island. -

, Until six years ago head-hunting was
I'm full swing along the coast Of New
Guinea, writes Rev. E. Cappers in
Catholic Missions, and describes one
Of these expeditions by the tribe Of
the Marind-anim or Kaya-Kayas. The
practice, he says, has been consider
ably checked by military expeditions.
Nevertheless head.hunting is still quite
frequent in the interior. On the APP
pointed, day men, women and children
would hasten to the point of embarka-
ton. At the approach of their goal
the boats were anchored, and the EN-
tire. party stealthily entered the forest,
taking care not to give the alarm.
Extra care was needed once the de-
signated spot had been reached. On
the day before the attack the hunters
kept hidden in the bush, and during
the night they advanced far enough
to launch the attack early before dawn.
Occasionally the hunters were hotlyj
received, butamost of the time the in
tended victims We're reused from their
sleep by the sudden war-cry of the
whole attacking party, and had no
time to defend themselves. Victims
were felled by the dozen, many Of
them pierced through by the sharp
pointed arrows.
" The victors yelled their war-cry and
repaired to their native haunts, where
days and nights Of feasting awaited
them with song and dance, around the
gruesome trophy. !! Es;as
