KEWPIES step FAST
TO TROUNCE MUNCIE
IN SPEEDY CONTEST

Outclassing their opposition in every
department Of the game, the Camera
Shop Kewpies humbled the Muncie
Midgets at the Coliseum Wednesday
night with the top heavy score of
1920. The local meters used all the
reserve list of men and were never in
danger of being headed.
The game Wednesday night was
minus the comedy which accompanied
last weeks game, when the floor was
in such a slippery condition that the
players put up miniature vaudeville
show to the utmost delight of the au
dience. Although the Muncie players
were fast on their floor-work, they
seemed to be having an off-night on
basket shooting. Time and time again
the Midgets carried the ball down the
floor under the basket, only to miss
the easy attempts.
Team play of the Kewpies spelled
the words of victory for them and they
put up a dazzling offense which the
Muncie lads could not solve. After a
session of fast play in the first half
which netted the locals q fine margin,
substitutes were sent and the game
was put on more even basis. The
Midgets could do little with the util-
ity men, at that.
Monger. Brehm, Stars
Scoring honors of the evenings
game went to 0. Monger and Brehm.
Monger connected for a total of IS
points, and Brehm counted eight
points toward the total. Sauter, local
center, played a consistent game on
the fioor-work and displayed good abil-
ity in the pivot position. Lehman,
playing tioorguard, exhibited an air
tight defensive play which held down
the Offense of the Muncie lads.
The local Kewpie outfit was entire
ly too strong and too far advanced in
the experience of the game for the
Muncie boys and the Magic City play
ers are TO be congratulated for their
ability to hold down a team which has
the experienced veterans which the
locals have.

lands constitute one of the important
groups of Pacific islands that have
fallen to the lot of Great Britain,
through New Zealand, as a result of
the World war.
The Samoan group, called by form
er geographers "The Navigators'
Islands," from the skill in navigation
shown by Its inhabitants, consists of
four principal bits of land lying in
the South Pacific, nearly midway be-
tween New Zealand and Hawaii.
The number of islands in the group
may, by counting the smaller, be in
creased to II. or even II, but only
Savii, Upolu, Tutuila, (owned by the
United States) and the three usually
included under the general term
Manua, are important.

At some prehistoric period the

running northeast and southwest have
been lifted from the depths of the
ocean by the upheaval Of volcanoes

mountains meet the ever-growing reef
which prevents easy approach to the

Between reef and shore a lagoon,
varying in width from 200 yards to
two or three miles, provides secure
highway for coast and inter-island
traffic. The entire length of the group,
If Rose island be included, is little
less than 800 miles. and the gross area
of the islands is larger than the state
of Rhode Island by 30 square miles.
The native Inhabitants of the
islands are Of Polynesian stock and
are clearly related to the natives of
both Hawaii and New Zealand. For
practical purposes these natives may
be divided into four classes. At the
head stand the chiefs, who are heredi-
tary in the sense that they must be-

in that they exercise authority by

TIENTsIN, PANORAMA
CITY

Tientsin, in the northeastern edge
of the terrible Chinese famine area,
in which millions of people are starv-
ing to death, is like necklace of
towns strung together.
To walk about Tientsin is to travel.
An afternoons stroll from the native
to the British, French, Italian, Russian
and other foreign quarters, gives the
sensation of a magic tour through
Peking, London, Paris. Rome and
Petrograd. And the windmills among
the salt mounds just outside the city
add q touch of Holland.
This panorama city has had a tenn
pestuous history. There group Of
American and other foreign residents
Herbert G. Hoover among them
defended themselves for month
against the fanatic Boxers in 1900.
Since then the native city has been
known as Cheng-li, or 'Town without
Walls" because the ancient barriers
were demolished during the siege. OF
the 500 doughty foreigners more than
fifty were killed and many others
wounded before military aid came.

famous siege, that of the TAPPING

came at TIentsin.
The success Of the campaign against
the revolutIonIsts was due principally
to the gallant "Chinese Gordon" Gen.
Charles George Gordon, and his Ever
Victorious Army" But the fact would
not be suspected from reading the i'm
perial edict. issued by the former con-
cubine who had elevated herself to
empress dOwager. The edict set forth
that "This glorious victory is entirely
due to the bOuntiful protection of
Heaven, to the ever present help Of
our ancestors, and to the foresight of
the empresses regent" A tribute is
paid to the Chinese generals, "who
have been combed by the wind and
bathed in the rain" and one of them
was awarded the decoration of the
double-eye9 peacock's feather
Commanding the native force at
Tientsin was Seng-ko-lin-si a Mongol
general, who later distinguished him
self less creditably. In 1860 he sought
to defend Tientsin against a foreign
expedition by erecting an immense
mud rampant outside the city. Tien-
tsin was captured and held for two
years by the British and French, and
the crude defense is known in the
foreign quarters as "Seng- -ko-lin-sin's
folly"
The region about Tientsin was
known as Chi-chOu under the Hsia
dynasty, whose rulers, 1000 years ago,
already had court astronomers who
could predict eclipses. Later it was
called Ya-chou, In the Chou dynasty,
marked by the western wars waged
by Mu-Wang against the DOG Bar
barians." thought to have been ances-
tors of the Huns. Tientsin dates
back at least to the fourteenth CEN
tury.
The salt industry in the neighbor-
hood of Tientsin Is prodigious. Wind
mills are used to pump salt water into
the fields along the Halo river, where
the widely known Chang-lu salt is
made. Before the war nearly 10000
tons were produced annually. But
Tientsin is important commercially in
many respects. 1t is rice market,
and Siberia's tea formerly was
shipped through there. Exports were
as varied as the needs of the dozen
or so nations which had separate set
Elements along five miles of the river
front. and its imports were as diverse
as the commodities those nations had
to exchange.
The Peiho and Hunho rivers con-
verge at Tientsin. From the latter to
the Yangtsze-Kiang extends the
Grand canal, that remarkable speci-
men of ancient engineering, mentioned
by Confucius, which originally was
more than 1000 miles long.
Tientsin has more people than Bos-
ton. 1t is the principal city of Chih-
Ii, and is Sc miles southeast of Peking
by rail.

An examining physician for one of the

MARSHALL ISLANDS: NEW
JAPANESE TERRITORY

The Marshall Islands, one of the
Pacific archipelagoes formerly owned
by Germany, and over which Japan
has been given mandate by the
League of Nations, practically form
barrier between the Hawaiian islands.
on the east, ant Guam and the Philip
pines to the west.
The two chains of curiously shaped
atolls. or coral islands consisting of
low-lying coral reefs encircling la
goons. known as the Marshall group,
lie a little south of the center of an
imaginary line connecting Hawaii.
Guam and the Philippines.
Guam, Samoa and Honolulu form

not penetrated by important steamship
lines. Within this isolated Pacific tri-
angle are the Marshall islands,

5000 miles. The only other method of
egress was steamer to Ponape
| which connected with a French line
to Singapore.
Like two loosely strung chains of
jewels, the islands stretch from north
west to southeast, each with its la
goon setting encased by a strangely
shaped circlet of coral, some like tri-
angles. harps and stirrups, and one
outlining bulls head with its horns.
Straight haired, dark brown natives,
still preserving the religious signifi-
cance of tattoo and taboo, are to be
found. Once a sturdy, reliant, sea-
| faring people, for they We're the best
mariners in. the Pacific, the white
mans coming as in the case of his
advent among the Eskimo and the
Indian, did not seem wholly beneficial.
In teaching them ways to live more
easily civilization robbed them of that
boldness and adventure which made
them the hardest of the Microneasian
peoples. Many of the young died of
| tuberculosis.
Skillful and fearless navigators. the
natives used bread-tree wood to make
| sailing canoes in which they would
voyage for months. They devised
charts, made of sticks. showing the
locations of islands and the directions
of prevailing winds.
| Ancestor worship was their predomi-
nant religious sentiment. With petit
tions and gifts they worshiped the
departed whose spirits were supposed
to return to earth in certain palm
trees which they set off in stone en-
closures. Birds and fishes sometimes
embodied these spirits, they believed.
and thus certain species became ta-
boo.
Tattooing of the young was re-
ligious ceremonial and, like the
Papuans, they inserted wooden discs
In their ear lobes to distend them.
Homes of the natives were not pre-
tentiohs. Floors were raised above
the ground to escape the rats, and
matched roofs covered the combina-
tion house and storage room.
The two island groups are known as
the Ratak and Ralik chains. Their
entire area is not more than 100
square miles; their native population
before the war was $4,000. with fewer
than 800 foreigners. The seat of Ger
man government was on Jaluit and the
most populous island is Majeru, with
but 1.600 persons.
Other explorers had touched at the
islands but they, with the Gilbert
group, took their names from Cap
tains Marshall and Gilbert who ex-
plored them in 1888. The Germans
annexed the islands In 1886.
