MlLLION INDIANS,
BUT THEY DON'T
EAT ONE ANOTHER
BY MILES w. VAITCHN

United Press Staff Correspondent.
RIO DE JANIE1O (Rv MaiD.--
There are no cannibalistic Indians in
Brazil That is the word of the ia
nous Rondon commission, headed by
General RondOn of the Brazilian
army, which has been in close con-
tact with all the tribes of the nation
for nearly a quarter of a century.
The general characterizes as equal
ly fantastic tales OF various American
explorers who claim to have discov-
cred tribes Of white giants in the Bra
lillian interior.
In a report recently published here
the commiss on says:
"One general observation of primo
importance has been verified care
fully in the case of all tribes yet en-
countered IN Brazil-no evidence
whatever has been found which would
indicate the existence of cannibal-
ISM"
General ROndon asserts that he has
personally investigated the canyons
where the Indian tribes are accus-
toned to throw the bones and refuse
from their feasts, and that no human
Bone ever has been encountered.
The total Indian population Of Bra
I'll is estimated at about 100000.
Of which some 100000 ara in the
great state of Natto Crosse Chick
Woods). G,
In most of the wild tribes the law
Of monogamy is vigorously enforced,
except for the Cacique, or chief, who
is allowed to have as many wives as
he wishes. The commission explains
that this is in order that cross-breed-
ing may improve the race. Many Of
the inter-tribal wars are attributed to
the desire of one Cacique to capture
few Of the priced wives of some
neighboring ruler across the river.
The commission has found that
practically all the interior tribes cul-
tivate fields of grain and beans and
are generally peaceful, home loving
people, who receive the white man
with friendship IL they are properly
approached.
Among the more remote tribes the
use of alcohol is almost unknown, but
those tribes which have come in con-
tact with white settlers have been
decimated by alcoholism and syphilis.

CITY COUNCIL HITS
LOCAL GAS COMPANY
REQUIRES OPERATION OF LOCAL
UNIT BY REVOKING FRAN.
CHISE EASEMENT
ADOPTS TRAFFIC CODE
Mckinney Wants to Re-
sign Because Unable to Get
Street Improvements

Revocation of the easement which
relieved the Olympia Gas company
from the necessity of operating is
local plant for a short period every
thirty days was ordered by the city
council at the regular meeting last
night. The multitude of continuous
complaints which have reached the
members of the council during the
last few weeks regarding alleged
poor service.
The action was taken upon motion
of Councilman Haycox, who ex-
planned that the original franchise
required the company to operate its
local plant every thirty days, but
that an easement was granted last
June relieving the company from
operating a few days every month
in order to hold the franchise.
Adopt Traffic Code.
The traffic code introduced at the
previous meeting was adopted by
suspension Of the rules, and will go
into effect five days after publication
which will not be done in any great
hurry, according to Hiram Dohm,
city clerk. The new ordinance was
amended by inserting definitions for
the terms standing" and parking, ="
twenty minutes being placed as the
dividing limit.
H. M. Mckinney surprised his fell
low members by sending in his resig-
nation in writing and failing to ap-
pear at the meeting. Failure to OBJ
tain any street improvements in the
third ward, his district, was given
as the reason for his action. No
action was taken by the council
pending consultation, with Mr.. Nc
Kinney.
Award Contract for Fire Hose. =
Bids were opened for supplying the
fire department with 400 feet of 211
inch hose, and $50 feet of Y inch
hose. The award was made to the
| Olympia Hardware company for
Eureka hose at $607.5O, represent
ing the first item at $4,000. and
I the second at $127.50. o
Upon motion Of Councilman Woh-
leb, the council decided to make an
appropriation to the firemen's relief
and pension fund equaling ~ per
cent of the salaries OF the members
OF the fire department.
Hiram Dohm, city clerk, filed his
annual report to the council. In the
absence of Mayor Charles Bowen,
Councilman George Draham pre-
sided at last nights meeting. All
councilmen were present except Mr..
Mckinney.
Charges of ineficiency made
! against Herbert Ashwell, traffic pa
trolman, were investigated by q COM
mittee Of the council and found
groundless. The council thought it
would be better to make Mr.. Ash

The Omnlvo-oua Trout.

The Journal Of the Torquay Natural
History Society for 1921 contains an
interesting report by DR.. r. c. L. Per-
kins on the ciet Of trout. Half a
dozen fish averaging three fourths of
pound, caught toward the end of
August, were examined. and 1t was
found that the bulk Of the food they
had been taking consisted Of water
beetles and ants in nearly equal pro-
portions The rest Of the food showed
considerable variety. and 1t seems to
have consisted Of anything edible that
came In the way of the fish-caddis,
leeches gnat larvae, etc. One strik-
ing thing noted by Doctor Perkins was
that many Of the weevils and water
beetles were found to be alive in the
fishes stomachs hours after capture

MARKET REPORTS AID TRADE
Government Helps Farmer by Giving
Out information Regarding Sup
plies and Prices.

Prepared by the United States Department
Of Agriculture.)
In q strict sense there can be no
such thing as fair trade" when
either party has the advantage OF
vastly superior information. Up to the
time the bureau Of markets and crop
estimates Of the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture was estaD-
lished most transactions In the mar
keting Of farm products were, In this
sense, unfair. This was due to the
fact that the buying side almost in
variably had vastly better Informs
ton regarding supplies, both available
and prospective, future production,
prices current throughout the country,
and probable movements Of the prod
ucts. ...
Placing the farmer on the same
footing with the buyer, so far as in
formation is concerned, so that the
element Of chance applies equally to
both, Is the aim Of the Department Of
Agriculture. For this, 1t gathers ev.
cry available scrap Of Information re-
lating to supplies, current quotations,
and other fundamental conditions In
duencing markets, arranges the infor-
nation in readable form, and makes
It readily available to everyone having
use Of It.
Before the department took up this
work, the farmer was not wholly with
out market reports. Newspapers, trade
journals, telegraph companies, and
many other organizations, as well as
individuals, distributed in the rural
districts reports that purported to be
market information. Unfortunately
for the farmer, however, many Of these
reports originated with buyers Of farm
produce. or from sources controlled OF
dominated by such interests. Under
these circumstances it was but natural
that they redounded to the advantage
Of the buyer and almost invariably
worked to the financial handicap Of
the farmer and producer.
The departments reports are now
being made use Of by practically all
classes Of peOple-farmers, commission
merchants, boards Of trade, brokers,
chambers Of commerce, retail dealers,
and consumers. Most persons who

Shin Tonnage FOR cosiderat'on
In Full Meeting
of Powers

Wosbinpton.-Japan has decided to
rece,le partly from her hitherto insist
ent stand that she be allowed ah 'n-
crease of ten per cent In capital snip
tonnage under the general program
nlnn for limitation of naval armament.
This was learned on highest author-
ity as the naval armament committee
of the arms conference met 10 d'S-
cuss this situation. Admiral baroi
kato, minister of the Japanese navy
is expected to announce the japanese
decision at the meeting Wednesday.
The entire question of Japan's IN
sistence on an increased ratio ID
capital ships will be thrown into the
arms conference for settlement.
The naval experts Of the United
States and japan have reached
deadlock on Jnp,n's demands for an
increase of ten per cent in capital
ship tonnage over that allowed in the
Hughes proposal, and the question
will be taken up in the meeting OF the
committee on ilimitaton Of armament.
This meeting probably may be
featuring point in the history OF the
conference.
Despite the fact that naval experts
are at loggerheads, it is officially be-
lieved that a sentiment will be reached
on the Jananese CLAIMS to tonnage
of 70 per cent as great as that OF the
United States and Great Britain.
A settlement rests in the hands OF
Secretary of State Hughes, Admiral
Baron, Kato and Arthur ]. Balfour,
the heads of the American, Japanese
and British delegations and 1t Is be-
lieved that the authoritative prediction
that an agreement will be reached Is
based on tentive understandings reach
ed In recent informal conferences be-
tween these three leaders.
The situation is believed to be that
Secretary Hughes is tired of the dis
cusson of the naval experts and their
failure to agree, and has decided to
take the matter in his own hands again
to force the question to Il settlement.
