FOOD FOR SPIRITS
Young Children Considered Dain.
ties in West Africa.
So When Great Man Dies, the Little
Onss, With Slaves, Are Killed
and Buried With Him.

Some TRANCE SuperstitiOnS of West
African negroes are described by P.
L. '4engely in the London Daily Mail.
If he will, the juju man witch doc
tori of West Africa al tell you that
when a mar dies his spirit, or spirits,
will remain behind and wander about
the earth while he will 'go away"
1t is not clear what is meant by "he"
as distinct from his spirits. or where
but obviously it Is to a place where,
If he be a big chief, he will want serv-
ants to serve him. and therefore when
he dies slaves are killed, and also
young children. But these latter are
killed for another purpose, as the
following remarks will show.
These wandering spirits are Of two
kinds-good, or at least harmless,
called "Duppies," and evil ones. known
as "Jumbis."
"Duppies," the juju man will tell
you, can be seen In various forms.
There used to be a resthouse on q
beach in southern Nigeria which fell
into disuse because, a. many white
men used to know. queer black FERNS,
sometimes like monkeys, used to run
about the veranda and the rooms at
night making weird noises. They did
no harm, being, as every native knew.
only "duppies."
The "jumbi," however. IL 4 terrible
thing-so awful that whoever sees one
goes mad.
His home IL in the silk-cotton, or
ceba tree, and he kills the person who
cuts n down. Blacks Of educated
West Indian descent will cut
down a ~silk-cotton tree.
"Jumbis" eat dead bodies, preferring
those OF children, though there is moth
ing they like better than rice.
Hence when a man or woman dies
a quantity Of rice IL placed near the
grave under a cover resembling a can
die extinguisher, only with holes In the
sides. The object of the holes is to
enable the thin, hungry "jumbi" to en-
ter the receptacle, where he gorges
himself until he is too fat to get out
again.
A fresh supply Of rice ID daily placed
under the dome to make up for what
the "jumbis'' have eaten. (There are
lots Of rats and ground pigs in West
Afr:ca.) The process is kept up until
the ninth day, when a wake" is held
and the "jumbis" are driven away by
noise and fee-ack (native magic).
That is n way of keeping the "jum
bis" from the dead. But If a grea1
nan dies he has another chance o.
being undisturbed for then young chill
dren are killed, and the "jumbi" eats
them rather than the old person.
Many years ago, when King Take
died. the then governor, in the hope o.
preventing any secret slaughter, or
dered that he should have a CRANE
funeral, white man fashion,"
1t was a great day for the natives
several white officials attending thu
burial in the center of the royal com
pound, where, by order, they remained
until the grave was filled up.
But despite these precautions, a,
dead Of night the juju priests had theil
innings. Take was dug up and re
buried in native fashion together witt
his slaves and several children.

AND SONS OU1|NG
At CRATER OF THE MOON
Several Hundred Fathers and Sons Of
Two Communities to Spend Three
Days in the Crater egi0n

Several hundred fathers and sons
representing the Lost River and Black
foot Stakes Of the Mormon church
will hold an outing at the "Craters
Of the Moon" on Thursday, Friday
and Saturday, June 20, %, and Gath.
The Fathers and Sons" is an or
ganization sponsored by the Mormon
church. Each year in all the Stakes
affiliated with the church, an outing
is held some time during the month
of June. On these outings fathers
and sons are together for a few days
in an outing at which all kinds Of
sports are INDUCED in and in general
a good time is had by everyone.
Last year the local stakes Faith
ers' and Sons outing was held in
Iron Bog" canyon in Antelope val
ley. A large attendance was reported
and a fine outing enjoyed.
Shortly after last years outing, P.
P. Black of ArcO who is m of the
most active fathers in the local or
ganization suggested holding the out
ing in Idaho's wonderland. the era
ters of the Moon" The suggestion
finally reached Blackfoot and 0. Blu
chanan, head of the organization in
the Blackfoot stake suggested hold
ing a joint outing. The suggestion
was readily accepted by the Los
River stake and plans have been for
mulating ever since, with the result
that the outing this year to the era
ters is expected to be n of the mos
successful held for a long time.
We have been told that 500 father.
year Blackfoot stake. OF caurse
this number will not attend the era
ter outing from Blackfoot on acoun
Of the great distance, but Mr.. Blacl
expects hal several hundred from
the two stakes will attend.
More interest than usual is nantes
in the outing because of the intention
of several high officials of the Nor
mon church to attend. Among thes.
men will be Mr.. Kirkham who is ma
tional executive committeeman from
Utah of the Boy Scouts. He has sig
nified his intention of being presen
unless something unforeseen happens
Mr.. Black has been very active thu
past few months formulating plans
for this outing, and a few days age
received a letter from officials Of
the church in Salt Lake City in which
they wondered if the enthusiasm oil
the proposed trip had diminished. He
Immediately mailed them several CO
pies of the pamphlet issued by the
Arco chamber of commerce and in
formed them that the outing was to
be held on the dates stated above and
that the Chamber of Commerce was
boosting it just as strong as ever.
Non Mormon fathers and sons are
cordially invited to join the party
and those desiring to do so are re-
quested to get in touch with Mr..
Black.
Another event Of more than passing
interest in connection with the outing
is a conference meeting to be held
in Arco the Sunday following the last
day Of the outing or on June 25th. A
more detailed report will be given Of
this conference in next weeks issue
as within the next few days plans
for the conference will have been
outlined.-Arco Advertiser.

DIR. Klein Sees Normal Conn
snerce After Year of Re-
adjustment: Volume Now
Larger Than in 1914

WASHINGTON, Aug. IL. Latin.
American trade is clearly on the up
ward trend despite the sharp decline in
the how of commerce between this
country and the Southern Republics
during the past fscal year. according to
a survey of the situation made to-day
by DR.. Julius Klein, director of the
Bureau Of Foreign and Domestic Com
merce of the Commerce Department.
Readjustment from abnormal condi-
tions he found to be mainly responsible
for the reduction of Latin-Amnrican
imports into the United States from
s1.131, 100000 in 1921 to $661 900. 900 in
1922, and the decline in exports to
South America from $1,303, 100000 in
1921 to $685. 900 in 1922. There has
been, he declared, some unjustified
alarm over the marked decline as
shown by the recent figures, but the
causes of this reduction are in no sense
ominous.
"The twelve months in question:" DR..
Klein said, simply represent a period
Of readiustment from year of abb
normal, and in many ways un-
healthy trade imitation down to the
proportions justified by the normal
economic relations among the Ameri-
can Republics. The beginning Of 1921
large stocks of most of the raw mate
rails coming from America, and
during the period of readjustment the
consumption of these stocks and the
demand for new ones was slow. Like
conditions prevailed in Latin America
with respect to our goods"
Recent Improvement has been shown
in the Argentine hide market, the Bra
lillian coffee market and the Chilean
nitrate market, he said, which promise
an early Improvement in the general
trade situation
"The value of our American
trade in both directions for the first
half of 1922" he said, "was two-thirds
greater than in the first half of 1914,
which is a significant gain even after
allowing for changes in price levels
during the interval. Since the bottom
of the dip in the inter-American trade
curve was reached last fall the trend
has been steadily upward, with a
marked acceleration during June which
promises we'll for the future and seems
to indicate permanent recovery from
the postwar confusion"

Bethlehem Merger
Common Will Get
Full Voting Power
Greater SinlpIificaiion of
the Capital Structure Is
Provided Under Plan; No
New Financing Now

Greater simplification Of the capital
structure of the Bethlehem Steel Cor
poration, with full voting powers
granted to all the holders of the COM
mon stock, is provided for in the plan
by which the acquisition of the Lacka-
wanna Steel Company is TO be accom-
plished.
Eugene G. Grace. president of Beth
ieheni, in making public details of the
purchase plan yesterday said that in-
stead of being dominated by a few
large stockholders. the consolidated
corporation would be under direction
of all the shareholders, and that the
acts of both himself and Charles NJ.
,sSchwab. chairman Of the board, would
be subject to approval at the annual
meetings of the company.
The statement to stockholders
pointed out that while no additional
/. financing would be required in connec-
zion with the Lackawanna purchase. it
@siH eventually be wise to spend from
hand enlarging the Buffalo plant. This
viii be accomplished through the pub
lie offering II Si5,0o0.000 new z per
cent cumulative preferred stock.
Two Glasses of Stock
= otnlpftkicdbiOff OI EHS company u1aIl-
ciai structure is proposed through con-
solidating the entire outstanding stocks
into two classes, viz: per cent cumu-
Iatiye preferred stock with full voting
powers and common stock with voting
powers. In order to accomplish this it
proposed TO offer stockholders the op
portunity of exchanging their holdings
on the following basis: =
The existing S30,000,00o 5 per cent
cumulative convertible preferred stock
to be exchangeable for new per cent
cumulative preferred stock, for a linn
tied period on the basis of S115 in new
stock for each share of the old stock,
and thereafter, until the privilege shall
be terminated by the board of directors.
The existing S15,000.000 of Z per
cent non-cumulative preferred stock,
and the additional stock of this class
TO be issued in connection with the
Lackawanna purchase, to be exchange
able for new per cent cumulative
preferred stock dollar for dollar.
It is proposed that a sufficient in
crease in the capital stock shall be
authorized to provide an additional
amount of approximately S3s.0oo,000
common stock, to be available for use
in the discretion of the directors in

Reserve Systems Gold
Holdings OF IS, 900, 600
Ratio Declines 2 p. c.: Bills
Increase as Commercial
Rediscounts Drop

Only slight changes occurred in the
position of the Federal Reserve Sys-
tenn last week, according to the state
ment of condition as of August Is,
issued yesterday. The most striking
item of the display was recession in
gold reserves Of $5,0t0,0o0, the first re-
ported in many weeks. Bill holdings
increased about s3,000,000, despite a
drop of ST 900 900 in commercial redis-
counts. On the side of liabilities the
reserve account of member banks rose
slightly more than $6,000,000 and there
was shrinkage of S5,000,000 in circu-
lation. The decline in the ratio from
s0.4 to s0.2 per cent reflected the in
significance of the variation in the
money and credit situation.
The condition of the New York Re-
serve Bank was also virtually static,
the ratio going off from 878 to 87.2
per cent. A loss of SIT 100000 through
the gold settlement fund was chiefly eff
fective in causing this decline. Bill
holdings rose more than $7,500,000, the
increase being distributed over all
classes.

man spoke at the convention of the
National Garment Retailers Associa-
tion at the list Regiment Armory in
connection with the Merchandise Fair.
tie asserted that the statement that
virgin wool is necessarily good and
that fabrics made from it are neces-
sarily superior to those in which re-
worked wool is used, is fallacy.
Other speakers were Mrs. C. R. T.
Lewis, of H. R. Mallinson & Company
who spoke on silks, and Rudolph
Schrelber, who discussed knitted cloths.
AT the Grand Central Palace fewer
buyers were In attendance than Wednes-
day, but several good orders were
reported. During the day proposals
were made to the National Retail Dry
Goods Association, which initiated the
fair, for the construction of perma
nent building to house the big enter
prise. Lew Hahn, managing director
of the association. said that these
offers were turned down, inasmuch a,
the organization does not desire to
