WED ONLY CLOSE RELATIONS
Custom OF Burmese Tribe Leads to
Marriages Between Extreme Old
Age and Youth.

The only occasions on which lads
and lassies Of the Red Karen tribe In
Burma meet are at marriage feasts
and at wakes, according to the Ma
tional Geographic Magazine. These
festivals last over three nights, and
are veritable orgies, with great ex-
cess Of eating and drinking. Both
sexes are well-seasoned vessels, since
they begin drinking strong drink be-
fore they are weaned. Marriages are
limited to near relations and result
quite often in unions where husband
and wife are of very unequal age, the
husband fifteen, the wife seventy. or
the other way about.
Punishment for marriage out Of the
clans was formerly very severe. A large
hole was dug in the ground and q
log placed across 1t, to which two
ropes were attached. The ends Of
these were noosed round the necks
Of the offending pair. They were
made to Jump into the pit, and 50 hang
themselves.
Now they are accommodated In
stead, and never allowed to enter 4
Karen village again. The two VII
lagos Of Kara in the Nan-kwc circle
are said to be inhabited entirely b.
such clipping couples.

PROVED ABILITY TO REASON
Fearless Old Baboon Leader Had
Qualities That Might Be Con.
sidered Almost Human

Apes are so human that even when
they display traits that In man would
De simply abominable one cannot help
laughing. A correspondent in South
Africa writes that certain large apes
are so much in the habit Of raidinE
the coffee plantations that they have
to be guarded.
Among the coffee trees grows q
shrub the fruit Of which the apes
particularly enjoy. But as wasps
fasten their nests to the shrubs, the
apes, fearful of being stung, usually
keep away from them One morning
the people In certain plantation
heard the apes making fearful out
cries and, rushing out, saw this
singular scene. A large baboon, the
leader Of band, was throwing some
young apes at the wasp nests just as
a boy might have thrown stones at
them.
The poor victims, stung by the In
furiated insects, were crying piteous-
ly, but the old baboon paid no heed
to them whatever. While they were
suffering from the anger Of the
wasps he quietly proceeded to regale
himself with the fruit which he
could now pluck without danger. Oc-
casionally he would turn round and
graciously throw a handful to some
females and young standing q little
way off.

NO "SQuARE" MEN
FOR GROUND" JOBS

That the U. S. Veterans Bureau is
responsible for finding employment
opportunities rather than specific jobs
for rehabilitated trainees, is the dis
tinction made by c. D. Hibbard, dis
t t1! manager, Y: S; Veterans Bureau,
Minneapolis. He stated that the en-
ployers in his district have been
whole hearted in their cooperation
in asking the bureau to furnish re-
habilitated veterans to fill vacancies
in their concerns.
"The opportunities offered the En-
ployment Service Section" Mr. Hib-
bard said, "are far reaching. Not
only may the trainee who has COM
pleted the course prescribed be put
on the way to contentment and self
respect by taking advantage of the
opening presented along the lines in
which he has bene trained; but the
opportunities may be provided 5for
that class of disabled men for whom
training is not feasible, but who are
employable in certain types of work.
Even more effective than the place
ment of men is the follow-up on these
men. For a period of four months
after the men have been placed in en-
ployment, the Rehabilitation Assist
ants in the sub-offices will visit them
with view to determining the suita-
bility of the selected employment and
the adaptability of theman to the job.
The Government intends to stand be-
hind the disabled man it has trained.
Prospective employers are assured
that every individual is trained for a
position he can handle in sDite IF hic
handicap. There will be no Square
pegs in round holes and one-armed
men will not be put on two armed
jobs.
"The Veterans Bureau asks the
public not to consider the rehabili-
tated trainee as disabled man"
from the standpoint of employment.
He is a Skilled veteran and as such
is entitled to an opportunity to prove
his worth. Thes emen are fast TAX
ing their places in the life of every
community as good and productive
citizens"
