, ing the government for initiating the

4s.
The premier also achieved another
Of his oratorical victories before an
expectant audience. So far as the
movement Of protest was designed to
draw information as to the proceed
! ings of the conference, it failed; the
premier gave no information az to
what has been decided, or is being
decided. regarding Mr.. De Valera's
claim to independence and the rumor-
ed attempts to arrange concessions
from Ulster for United Ireland.
/ These remain in the realm Of specula-

the unsettled status Of Irelands two
governments steps would be taken to

necessary to make 1t a real govern

was devoted to holding before the

fact that any agreement must be

The motion was proposed by Col.

port Those who most strongly ad-
I vocated the policy of the motion lad
much stress on their protests against

Shrunken Head War Trophy
Of JivarOS Indians. Ecuador

DIR. George Fl. Brickett of this city,
who has for several years been run
ming as ships surgeon on steamers
running to Central and South Amer
lea, IS at home for short vacation,
and as has been his custom brought
with him numerous interesting relics
and curios, of which he has several
times made loan exhibits to the State
museum. Curator Thomas A. James
is particularly pleased with the latest
|, loan, 1t being a rare and valuable OBJ
Ject, somewhat gruesome in appear
ance but one that attracts attention
and holds it with almost fascination.
1t is shrunken head, war trophy
of the Jivaros Indians of Ecuador.
The method Of preparation of these
neads is interesting and when the Job
itself is done the head, perfect in ap-
pcarance but in pigpy size, measures
but about IL inches from the point
of the chin to the top of the head and
8 inches across the head through the
forehead.
Every part and feature is perfect in
shape and appearance. The Indian
features, the hair, beard on face. all
look like a doll.
The doctor says that to gain this
result. the head with part of the
neck is severed from the body. A cut
is made from the base of the skull
down through the skin of the neck.
The bones are carefully removed and
the shrinking process begins.
A number of hot stones are nut into
the skin, which is constantly turned
10 bring them in contact with all
parts OF it. When one Indian tires, it
Is passed to another. It is said that
the process sometimes continues two
weeks before the head is reduced to
the desired size. In some cases a
single stone. nearly the size of the
head, is first used, then a smaller one
ana SO on until the work is completed.
The cut in the back Of the neck is
seweo up the opening is sealed with
pltch-iike substance and the trophy
is completed-the Jivaros having a
real human head in size that can
almost be used for q watchcharm.
