Most people would conclude that tender

practises among existing primitive people
to-day contain a sinister hint that tender

an unweaned child when its mother dies,
and bury Il with her.
Among the Indians of Chaco, In Para

covered the still more heartless practise
of burying the child alive with its mother.
Professor Gregory comes TO the aston
ishing conclusion that the motive for these
modern burials as well as the neolithic
ones is fear-"fear that the mother will
come to claim her child"
Il has long been believed that ritual
burial first came into existence In the

AN ALMOST INCREDIBLE TALE

the death in London of Ernest Fizetelly.
When Emile Zola was name to shock
and startle complacent Victorians Of the
seventies and eighties, Vizetelly, scholar.
journalist, belligerent literary radical,
shared equally in the notoriety.
The publication Of THE Soil (La Terre). i.
which Vizetelly had done into English, was
the signal for an orgy of persecution which
has few parallels in the annals of literature.
The translator was fined, imprisoned,
financially ruined and the great publishing
house of which his father, Richard Vizetelly,
was the head eventually collapsed in bank
ruptcy.
Doubtless much of the intense indigna.

Zola's novels was sincere. Doubtless also
yizetelly was an intractable and ungovern-
able champion of modern realistic art in
fiction. But considering the ultimate high
position achieved by the writer Of LA

There are not few prosperous novelists

point Of view. But certainly it has changed,

ANOTHER AIR TRAGEDY

MEMS habit of restlessness, their desire
AV1 to control and explore and their dis.
content with slow and safe ways Of exist
ence are costing them heavily.
Aviation, for example, has been attended
with consequences more tragic than any
ever recorded in the early days Of any other
system Of transportation. Fliers, whether
they were in or out Of the military service.
have experienced hardships and risks of n
sort which even deep sea sailors know moth.
ing about. They have been burned to death
in the mir and blown to bits with their own
explosives. They have fallen mile after
mile to terrible death which they had
time to contemplate before 1t came to them.
And the loss of the passengers of an ex.
cursion plane bound from one of the Florida
resorts to Bimini shows that as air machines
are put to commercial uses some rigid sys-
tenn of control and inspection will have to
be devised to safeguard their passengers.
The narrative of the Miss Miami is
awe inspiring enough to rank with some of
the famous horror tales of the sea. Yet the
vessel was lost only a short distance from
the coast of Florida. Had she been equipped
with wireless her company would have been
saved. Brigader General Mitchell, of the
Army Air Service, suggested long ago that
all commercial airplanes, especially those
which do their flying over the sea, should
be compelled to carry radio equipment.
A bill to authorize Federal regulation of
private airplanes is before Congress- 1t
embodies General Mitchells suggestion with
relation to wireless. Had that Bill been
passed month ago there would not have
been loss of Ave lives few minutes out
from the gay beaches of Florida.
