BUNCLED HANGING
 AROUSES CANADIANS

WINNIPEG, Dec. 6.-Aroused over the bungling execution of murderer in Woodstock New Brunswick re- gently, when man had to be hanged twice, the Prisoners Welfare Associ- ation of Canada has renewed it's ef- forts to have capital punishment abolished.
 Execution bungling is frequent, of ficials point out, because Canada has no official hangman and never has had, although for some years one in dividual did most of these gruesome jobs. The responsibility of employing the hangman is placed on the local sheriff who may engage someone, or do 1t himself.
 The Canadian Parliament so far has looked with disfavor on the proposf- ition of substituting life imprisonment for hanging, but the legislative body is expected to consider soon the sub stitution of electrocution as more humane method of killing.

STEREOPTIC0N IDEA
 INJECTED INTO FILMS

Do you remember looking through a "stereopticon" when you were child, and exclaiming with surprise that you felt as though you could reach out and touch them.
 A landscape scene looked so realis- tic that you felt as though you could walk right through the lenses onto the turf, lean against tree, or climb a neighboring hill. Water scenes showed all of the little troughs in the waves and the shore sloping down to the edge!
 But "stereopticons" aren't found on the center table of the parlor any more The indoor sport has given away to movies and other forms of diversion. Righ hefes howeverg is where one learns that there isn't much new under the sun atfer all, for the stereopticon process has now been ap- piled to the movie, through the med ium of the Camera with the human eye"
 The process was invented by Harry K. Fairhall, movie photographer
 Stereopticon projection of motion pictures is looked upon as one of the most important developments in the picture making world The effect is accomplished by the projection on the screen simultaneously of two positive films super-imposed, which have been photographed at the same time thru single camera having two lenses, separated at a distance apart equiva- lent to the position of the human eyes.
 The films are treated in such way as to allow projection at any dis tance, and the use of viewing screens similar to spectacles, consisting of a mentary colors, makes possible stere- opticon vision in that each eye sees blue and red lenses which are compile a single picture of it's own, which is necessary to obtain the relief and perspective.

n0CANOS THINK STORM DEVINE
 VISITATION

MANILA, Dec. 5. ' Typhoons and other disturbances, terrestrial and marine, which recently ravaged the provinces occupied by Ilocanos, the people of Malayan origin, with per haps some Japanese blood, certainly some Chinese, on the northwest coast of Luzon, have recalled the supersti- tions of this people regarding storms. They think of storms as divine visi- tation and feel that their fields are destroyed by wind and flood because they have offended the deities
 The spirit of the storm is personi- fled for them in a man-god sent by the Surpeme Being to administer pun ishment upon the sinful. He is fer cest when averaging the use of inven- tion, such as the stripping machines imported by the International Harvest CT Company, that the Iloeanos have been using to clean their maguey if Der with, instead of retting it in salt
 
 water (Field crickets nibble at bind er-twine made from retted fiber in order to get the salt, and so it's i'm portation into the United States is prohibited. When the crickets cut the twine the sheaves of grain are lossed.)
 Using such inventions as stripping machines is following the devils wisdom" to the old-time nocano; and when a typhoon destroys his maguey fields he is not surprised. The man god that work in the typhoon is sup posed to wield two instruments of de- struction-the bolo and the ax. In a moderate storm he is only using big bolo, "nagtaguibadang," and in a hard ed storm his huge ax, "nagtaguiwa- say"
 In spite of superstitions, however, machines for stripping fiber and also other modern aids to agriculture and rural living are being introduced suc- cessfully. The beliefs in evil spirits and averaging deities are old, and the young Hocano is progressive.

command of spirits, and the sacred bundles and fetiches are included, which illustrate the superstititons of the early inhabitants.
 Ancient Garbs Shown 4 Festivals of the aborigines are re- called by gaudy garments, the bright hued head-dresses and weird musi- cal instruments Enormous dishes, as large as modern bath-tubs, in which the Indians of British Column bia pit the food for their guests, when they held their potlaches, re- call the carnivals at which were welcomed old friends and neighbors.
 One can only suggest, however, the wealth of materials for research and for recreation found in the new institution.
 The museum of the American In dian, Heye Foundation, grew out of the enthusiastic interest in aborig- inal culture aroused in MT. George G. Heye in 1897, when engaged in the construction of a railroad in Arizona. His first contact with In dian lore was through the purchase of buckskin shirt from an Indian workman. The son of Gustav Heye, an official of the Standard Oil Com pany, Mir. Heye became interested in large business affairs upon his re- turn to the East, but for years col lected Indian objects as a diversion. He finally withdrew from the if nancial world to devote himself en- tirely to the museum, of which he is both founder and director.
