SOUTH SEA ISLAND TRIBE
 LIVING AS IN STONE AGE

| London.--Living in the same man
 ner as the men of the Stone Age
 a tribe exists on a little island in
 the South Pacific
 l Such is the story told by Dr Northcote Deck, missionary. who
 lives at Aola and who has visited the island where these prehistoric people have their being
 | ''There are only about five hun
 dred inhabitants on the island, said Dr. Deck. in a recent communi-
 cation to the Royal Geographical iSociety. and because of their virtual
 isolation and through lack of an
 chorage for a ship, even their dia- lect has never been studied. ''rhey are almost cut off from
 the outside world by walls of coral 1 Limestone, and I found them to be
 still living in what might rightly
 be described as a manner of before
 the Stone Age.
 ''lron is the thing they most !covet. and for it they will exchange every available object. The caves 1 of the island are swarming with flying foxes, whose teeth seem to 1 form the only currency on the is- l land
 The islanders are great fighters land wrestlers. They use thrusting spears of hard black wood twelve 1 feet long and fully six pounds in l weight. with fifteen to twenty
 barbs on each side. The making of these spears seems to be a lost art. Throwing spears are also used. with points made of human leg and arm bones. Some of them are tip- ped with bone splinter, which is
 designed to break off in wound and infect it.
 Although most friendly. these people are great thieves. They mur- |dered three native teachers l left with them apparently for the sake |of a few goods they had. lney seem to reel keenly the
 monotony of their isolation and showed q settled melancholy both in their faces and in the cadence of their voices. Their only sort of music, to which they dance, consists in the tuneless beating of log"
 pr. Deck has presented to the British Museum stone mace used by these people. It is symmetrical ly ground, with eight knobs bound to the handle with sennit, and is seemingly for ceremonial use.

New York, June 2S.-Greenwich lVilage, New York's Little Bohe- mia" was up in arms-firguratively speaking-recently for the wrath 1 of the reformers has descended up- lon it. and the New Freedom is 1 threatened in it's vitals, to-wit: the studios and tea rooms.
 Studios? Tea rooms?' Moth | ing of the sort--rat holes, Nhell haunts of iniquity, that's what they iare" comes the furious cry of the Greenwich Village Association. And lthus crying, that body filed vigor- lous protests with the License De- partment against granting dance permits to twenty-two applicants from the village.
 To the departments office they marched. did the reformers. two score strong. to "expose' the vil- .lage's night life. But right behind them came valiant villagers de- lending their freedom" and among them were land ladies and landlords whose places of harmless" and I'insprative" amusement are threat tened.
 Wondrous and weird were the tales told by attorneys for, and members of the reforming society. They pictured the village-that part .of it which worships at the shrine of the Cosmic Urge. Unconvention- Iality, and all that sort of thing, lyou know--as a plague spot of the lof the city and nation.
 Why, these people don't really belong shouted Michael J. Horan, legal spokesman for the association. ".They are down there for profit. Right in my own block there are five rat holes in the basements, dis Igusod as dance halls. The sort of revelry that goes on there is un- Ispeakably disgusting. And when they get through reveling they hold  shameless parades--these wild maudlin; yes, that's what they are, wild maudlins
 The emphatic repetition of the epi- thet was prompted by srunts of pro- test from among the defenders of village art"
 Flight you are, MT. Horan,' broke in Mrs. k. Levy, who owns a twenty yfour-family apartment house in Washington place. She was thore to protest against grant ing license to James Schuman, who runs the "Moulin Rouge"
 "Why. my tenants can't sleep al all because of the noise these horrid people make" she continued.
 Haven't 1 been insulted while trying to enter my own home?"
 "Yes. and l have been accosted in my own vesiibule," interpolated MT Horan. holding vigorously.

iniquty these persons are making our fair village. Why, it's every other night almost that we have to use selzer siphons to drive the ma raudcrs off the sidewalks. Night, did I say? Why. it's early in the mornings. two, three, four o'clock, after they've carried on all night in these basement places, they sing and dance and jazz right on the street."
 "Yes. indeed. corroborated Mir Horan. This element that dances !by candlelight, lest the rays of the dear old pale moon dazzle them they've got to be driven out" "Only the other night" put in Mrs. Levy again, q saw young lman carrying q slip of a girl in Sappho fashion into one of the basement tea places-'tea places is what they call them. But that isn't what they are!'
 "We demand an investigation of Iall these so-called studios and tea rooms came the voice of the ven- erable John k. VOorhis, commis- Isioner of elections, one of the old lest residents of the village.
 Mrs. Levy contributed few sto- rics of how she had rescued innO- cent girls from basements and hall ways.
 Someone among the protestants mentioned the case of the Jolly IFriars.
 "I wish to say right here and now, ladies and gentlemen. that I |conduct a most respectable place, announced Mrs. Josephine Emery, who presides over that establish ment Why, l have priests and min istcrs come to my place to dine and they love me just as much as you do."
 No, Mrs Emery" protested the legal guide of the reformers, don't look at me. l was, unfortunately, within the range of your vision that time"
 "I operate most respectable place. ladies and gentlemen reit- erated the high priestess of the Jolly Friars, with dignity.
 "Is that so-o-o?" rejoined Mrs. Levy. with just q trace more of sarcasm in her voice than she evil dently intended, for she promptly added:
 Well, I know nothing specific about your place, but I will say that some of these places have pill lows in the windows, on which men and women recline together. smok- ing cigarettes. think it's aw- full! And when their smokes arc gone another couple takes their place, arms around each other, right on the window sill"

EX CONNECTS

 REASONABLY Y
Woman Expert Says Men Who Are Given Fair Chance Are Always Glad To Straighten Out.
By IMAGERY REX, Unr-,pAtionaI News Service)

1 New York. k.---Circumstance, Oftenel
 than viciousness, is the cause oi
 crime. And good fortune is just
 as frequently attributable to this
 strange combination of events. l Men have stumbled over rich
 bits of ore; the well, dug for water may spout bringing oil; the 1 auto that hits man and injures him may perhaps bring a benefactor who will change his whole life, Through an odd series of happen ! ings the Prisoners Relief Society of Washington, D. C.. was brought into being by E. E. Budding. who had once been a prisoner himself
 Recently l heard his history and
 that of the organization from its secretary, Mrs. $. H. McIntire. now
 in New York City. Mrs. McIntire who is well informed on the various aspects of criminology, discussed some of them with me Nine out of ten crimes are caus- ed by circumstances. declars Mrs
 McIntire.
 1 Sometimes these circumstances occur early in the victims life, the result of poor home surroundings. Then we call it bad, environment ] But it's really circumstance. Under
 the stress of excitement men and women commit crime---for the first time. Maybe a prison sentence fol-
 lows.
 Then after release or parole comes the delicate question of hand ling the ex-conyict. That will be the whole turning point of his career
 We claim that society is at fault for the second offender.
 "The general public must be edu- cated to accept the view that the eX-convict can he made its worthy asset instead of a creature to be summed and feared. That attitude is greatly to blame for the second offenders. Heretofore it has been

 Give eX-convicts second chance and 90 per cent will make good. ! ''The Prisoners Relief Society was started by man who was given q second chance by his employers But lie felt after awhile that his presence perhaps was embarrassing to them. so he resigned of his own free will
 This is E. F. Budding, head of our organization. To defend him self in quarrel he killed his uncle. He had to go to prison for short time and. though brief, the term made him an ex-conyict in the eyes of the world.
 He devoted himself to the con vict, and now he is very successful

ill helping other men to come back.
 .sThe ex-convict is not afraid to tell his troubles to MT. Budding because he knows he is understood when he learns that his protector was once behind bars himself.
 '..The parole prisoner is better off than the released man, because to secure parole man must have q job awaiting him when freed.
 We get the released man first friend in whatever city he wishes to go to- That means the friend will get him a job, and only the employer is to know the secret of the prison term.
 This means lot to the convict released with only a cheap suit of clothes and $5 in his pocket.
 Such man must be rescued or he will return to jail as second offender a hardened criminal.
 Our society, which aims to do just this work of rescue, was found ed about seven years ago. Now many important men and women are back of it. They cooperate in get ting jobs for those brought by cir cumstance into crime. We have both, since our beginning.
 Men eligible for parole. or about to be released, can write to us and we send them blanks to fill out ; we also send a blank to the warden of the prison. If the convict is a farmer plumber, doctor, lawyer nos matter what--we get him work in his own line.
 Picture the plight of the man out of prison after term. He feels the world is against him and lie is not far from right in his judg- ment. He finds it hard to deal with people.
 That was the identical experience of our head, MT. Budding. Though ing to take him back, others were not so kind. He was made to feel his disgrace by customers and asso- ciates, so he has consecrated his life to helping other men. In Washington alone we have placed 600 ex-convicts. One man formerly a safe cracker, is now the trusted and rspected cashier of q big corporation. He has gone straight, and so can anyone who wants to and who gets little help 'The helping hand is the ono thing that will prevent the first offender from going back to prison That will protect not only the ex- convict, but the public that scorns him, too.
 The Prisoners Relief Society looks after the family of the imprisoned man while he is in jail, thereby preventing them from getting un- fortunate ideas about the injustice of things and prhaps committing crime themselves
