WHITE tI,I1Iy RACE G S5|]4;E SP@!5E9 D..
Natives of Islands Were Finest
Specimens of Mankind Be-
fore AngIo-Saxons Arrived.

Marius Schouten, who has just re-
turned from the South Seas, says that
the greatest calamity that could have
happened to the South Sea Islands was
the coming of the white man with So
called civilization according to the
New York Times. Mr.. Schouten has
visited practically every known coun-
try in the world and was so fascinated
with the life In the South Seas that he
spent several months there.
The natives OF Tahiti, in fact OF the
Tuamotu and Marquesas Islands, are
physically the most perfect individuals
in the world" said Mr.. Schouten, who
Is in New York. I" at least they were
until we visited them and brought
them SO much harm. In none of
Intoxicating drinks. Their native bever-
age was no more stimulating than
coffee and contained no alcohol. We
brought them rum.
They were noted for health and lon.
gevity. We carried them the diseases OF
ation--tuberculosis and worse
Through long years we have built up
certain immunity from these
scourages,but among the natives of the
South Seas no such conditions exist
They have died off by thousands until
1t looks as If in another generation the
native will have disappeared from the
Marquesas.
THE people In this country lived a
care-free, happy, outdoor life. 1t was
not necessary to work. In the morning
the men would go out into the forest
and bring back enough food for the
day, while the women took care OF
their primitive household arrange
ments. The rest Of the day was spent
IN enjoyment.

JAPS SPURN BRAz!L'S
BONUS FOR IMMIGRANTS
Little Brown Men Refuse to Go
to South American Coffee
Plantations.

BY Associated Press 10 Every Evening.
Toxic, Feb. 25.-Japanese emigrants
have shown a decided disinclination
to seek their fortunes in South
America in the past two years despite
the "overcrowding in Japan and
offers OF bonuses.
The Brazilian government pays IS
pounds to each Japanese emigrant
but. nevertheless. Japanese labor con-
tractors have found IT impossible TO
fulfill their contracts with Brazilian
coffee planters to furnish 5000 Japan
ese laborers each year.
Last year the number OF japanese
emigrants to Brazil was estimated at
900. These figures are given by an
official of the Commercial Bureau at
tached TO the Foreign Office.
The reason assigned for this dis
inclination to transmigrate TO South
America is the improved status Of
the labor market at home. Officials
OF the bureau predict that the coming
year will see greater exodus from
Japan than for some years past. The
total Japanese population in South
America In 1920 is estimated by Japan
ese authorities at about 10000. OF
whom $1,000 are in Brazil, 5000 IN
Peru, 1000 in Argentina, 500 in Bo-
livia and 400 in Chile.
Emigration is being encouraged by
the Japanese government. says Mr.
Akamatsu. chief of the Commercial
Bureau. Railway fares to ports OF
efnbarkation are reduced and special
steamship rates offered.
Last year the government advanced
$4,000 20 one company TO promoSe
emigration by means OF moving pic
lures showing conditions abroad
chiefly In South America. Comparative
statistics show that Japan proper IL
just about as thickly populated as
England Japan has 376 persons TO THE
square mile against England's 372
Hollands 539 and Belglum's s64.

Spencer. This veteran trapshooter
has fired as much powder in his
thirty-three years of tournament

Since the kcen-eyed- man from

ney in 1SS9-and tied his father
for first place-he has hung up
several enviable records.
List to few Of his achieve
ments:
He won the North American

1870.
Won the high average title in
doubles shooting in 1915 and
1916.
Holds, at present, the worlds
professional doubles record of 81
out of SO pairs.
Holds the record run of 565 at
one shoot Lack of shells pre-
vented him from continuing the
run.
/ For a twelve-year span--190S
TO 1920-he shot at more than
10000 targets a year for an aver
age of .967. This record has
never been equaled.
Last year despite illness he
averaged .9572 for the 1910 tar
gets at which he blazed.
This year he ran 231 straight
in the Texas state tournament
He has won the Missouri all.
