GIRL WHIPS HUSBAND
BEFORE HER MARRIAGE

The marriage market is a recog-
nized institution among the Konyama
people OF Southwestern Africa. They
belong 70 the Bantu race and the
oYambo tribe. inhabiting a little
tuguese West Africa.
The marriage festivities called
"Efundura" are divided into three
stages. the first taking place in SOW
ing time. and the last two during the
autumn harvest season. The mar
aiageable girls dance before the whole
tribe, and the men select their mates
but wait until the third stage be-
fore naming them.
After the second stage, in which
the dancing by the girls has contin-
ued for two days and nights. the
prospective bride has dried palm
leaf tied arosnd hex wrist by her
prospective husband. He then hoists
her on his shoulder and carries her
away about 200 yards. Heputs her
down, and female attendants give
her two sticks with which 10 whip
the man as he runs away.
After this incident the brides all re-
turn to their kraals. cover them
selves with white ashes and go all
over the country.
During this trip they do pretty
much as they like. They sing and
dance and extort gifts from any men
who have courted them. They also
pounce on any man who assails them
and unite in beating him with clubs

CORRECT AGENTS

College Hints for Keeping the
Homes Clean in
Winter.

Keeping the house clean during the
winter when stoves and furnaces are
going is not difficult II the housewife
uses the right tools at the right time.
according to Miss Jean Kruger of the
Home Economics Department OF the
University OF Wisconsin.
Wise housekeepers learn that to
get rid of dust there must be fewer
pointed out: so we now have less
bric-a- -brac in our homes and the un-
necessary objects are left out. For
instance. in the dining room il is no
longer considered good to have the
plate racks loaded down with the best
china. II was just dust collector
and added 10 the housewives work,
for 1t had to be busted or washed
each time before using.
AS the fall and winter months
come on 1t is a good plan 20 change
pictures. vases and other objects in
rooms. IL gives different atmosphere
to the rooms and they don't become
monotonous. We all like change. and
a new arrangement of furniture seems
restful after seeing things one way all
summer"
Miss Kruger advocated cleaning
closet in every house. II there isn't a
closet that can be used, an old ward
robe is very handy. The cleaning tools
in II need not be expensive. They may
consist OF a carpet sweeper or an cleo
trio sweeper. a dustless mop (oied), a
broom, dust pan, number of brushes
(soft and hard for cleaning behind
radiators and other places that are
difficult TO reach). and plenty of soft
cloths for busting and washing. Soaps
polishes and other cleaning agents
should have place in this closet. she
says.
If the tools IN the cleaning closet
are used daily 10 keep the house free
from dust, then there is not likely "a
be need for a weekly or monthly
"housecleaning," with it's accom-
I panying discomfort 90 the entire fam
( ily, she believes. BY making clean
/ ing a daily task. the housekeepeI
saves both time and energy.

RICHEST OF MEN.
Question ~ 10 Whether Rockefeller

Very few rich men rarely talk abou,
their money. Henry Ford Is nm cx-
ccption In this respect. aH hc Is in
many others. Ford has told an inter-
viewer that he. has about 800, 900 900
worth Of buildings. s1o0ooO,0o0 worth
of machinery and a bank balance OF
between si35.oo0.ooo and s1%5. .o0o, 900
- $40 100000 forward or backward IL
n matter too small for Henry Ford to
bother about. He also declared that
he could doubtless. II he felt inclined.
capitalize and feat his business for
a billion dollars.
This last statement has inspired
newspaper headlines TO the effect that
Ford has passed Rockefeller IN the
race toward billianairedom. Ford as
suredly is tremendously rich. But he
Is not Millionaire. and Is farther from
that unattained figure that Is John ID
Rockefeller. Rockefeller never has
been n billionaire and today is several
hundred millions short OF that mark
Today's figure would probably be
nearer half n billion than three-quar-
ters OF n billion.
But all that Ford claims 10 ba
worth in property. machinery. etc.
and cash IL n third OF n. billion. .Hls
statement that he believes he could
get billion dollars for his business
does not make him a Millionaire. The
Standard OH companies in which
Rockefeller is interested could doubt
less be promoted and iloated at fig
ures which would give Rockefeller far
more than billion dollars. But
neither Ford nor Rockefeller Is given
To capitalizing good will at hundreds
of millions of dollars.
No, II will be some time before
Ford can claim the distinction of be.
ing the richest man the world has
ever known. Anything is liable To hap.
