.0NE.P EQUIVALENT
. To ONE GUINEA WIFE

PLYMOUTH, Eng. - Marriage
contracts made in terms of pigs and
shell bracelets by cannibals of New
Guinea were described in an inter.
view given by Miss Beatrice Grim
shaw, the novelist, who has just re-
turned to England after fifteen
years residence in the South Sea
islands. A love of solitude and far
away places led the writer to pene-
trate places never before visited by
a white woman.
Women are out Of luck in New
Guinea, she said. Modern ideas of
equality and independence have
never reached them. There they do
all the heavy work and their hus-
bands kill them at will, sometimes
eating them afterwards.
Marriage is by purchase. at en-
tirely depends upon the looks Of the
wife and the rapacity of her par
ents how many pigs and clam shell
bracelets must be paid by the bride
groom" Miss Grimshaw explained.
1.-THE pig is generally considered to
be Of much more value than the
wife. Payment is made on the in.
stallment plan and if stopped, the
brides parents take her back again,
for she is useful as universal
slave.
1.-THE woman does the proposing.
I remember a cannibal boy coming
to me with finger in his mouth, and
saying, in the coyest manner. Girl,
she want to marry me-
1.-THE marriage age is twelve or
thirteen for the girls and seventeen
for the men,. but the youthful hus-
band finds himself at a disadvan-,
tage, for the older men can gener-
ally supply more pigs"
Miss Grimshaw told Of her OBJ
serVations in the wild stretches Of
New Guinea where cannibal tribes
live. II know the cookery recipes
for preparing human food" she con-
tinued. I'm one part of the country
is stone oven six feet long, dug in
the side Of a hill for the purpose of
dealing with the victims. If the in
habitants Of one village attack an
other, the prisoners are tortured
terribly and then eaten. They use
the traditional three-legged caldron
and sometimes break the bones and
legs of their victims beforehand and
let the body lie in a running stream,
which method, they believe, makes
the meat more tender"
The writer told of the natives
CHASTITY souvenirs consisting of hui
man hands worm around the neck
or skulls kept in their houses. Sor-
Gerry and hypnotism, she said, also
have a strong hold. There is even
a sorcerers' university, where ma
tives are taught for a period Of two
years. These students learn to do
such things as train poisonous
snakes to submit to being carried
in their hair and then to bite GER
tain people when they are let loose.
81 believe these natives under
stand hypnotism from end to end"
she added. "They do table-turning
with a sort of alligator-shaped i'm
age. They ask questions and see
blue lights. By peculiar dances
they can hypnotic whole aaudi-
ence. The dancers are wonderfully
attired, for in New Guinea you may
see some of the best decorators in
the world. 1 have seen a dancer
carry on his head a frame eight
feet high ornamented with birds Of
paradise"
The novelist believes that the ma.
tives are so saturated in hypnosis
as result of the practice of many
centuries that they can persuade q
man to go to his own death know
ingly."

WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.-(By the
Associated Press. 1Prediction was
made today by the department of
labtr on the basis of reports from
its conciliators that within a week
sufficient bituminous mines will be
in operation to produce 100000 tons
weekly.
Normal production of bituminous
coal prior to the strike amounted to
approximately 100000 tons and de-
partment Of labor officials saw in
their conciliators' reports a return
to normally in production and pos
sibility Of an excess production that
would aid the nation in making up
for what was lost by the nearly
five months suspension.
The conCiliators reported to the de-
partmeEt that Iowa operators, rep
resenting an annual output of 81
900, 900 had signed a wage agree
ment with union miners last night;
that Michigan mine owners had
agreed with miners upon a basic
wage, which would result in the an
nual production of 100000 tons,
that Indiana deep and strip operators
were expected during the day to sign
agreements with union officials and
that Illinois operators were "about
ready to sign up"
Labor department officials also ex-
pressed the opinion that an agree
ment shortly would be reached be-
tween anthracite operators and Of
ficials Of the United Mine Workers
meeting in Philadelphia.
Bituminous production in Pennsyl-
vania also is expected to increase

MAKES PROTEST AGAINST
 REMOVAL RADIO STATION

SEATTLE, Aug. 23. - The Seattle Chamber of Commerce is making an active campaign to back up the protest of the Juneau Commercial Association against the proposed abolition of the wireless station at Juneau. It is un- derstood that the Navy Department, because of decreased appropriation, proposes to do away with land stations in Alaska The chamber points out that the appropriation for the new Alaska cable has not been approved, and that this old cable sometimes breaks down and that it is necessary to rely on the naval radio for con- munication. The radio accepts com- mercial business, business men and ship-owners have relied upon it at times when the cable was congested or out of order. Doing away with the wireless before the present cable is repaired or relayed would work hardships on Alaskans and seriously in- terfere with the prompt dispatch of business, it is said at the chamber.

HERDS TO CREATE A
 NEW SPECIES

o. J. Nitric, of the Biological sur vey, who has been in the Interior dur ng the last several years making a study of animal and bird life for the de- partment he serves, arrived in Nenana from Fairbanks recently and left for Mckinley park, accompanied by R, A.. Perkins, s. E. Ivey, J. M. Cunningham, the Loftus brothers and Frank Chaser, who have been signed on for service and who will accompany him into the park proper.
 The party under MT. Nitric will journey up the Savage river to the neighborhood of it's headwaters and will there establish their main camp. In this locality there is low pass be- tween the Savage and Sanctuary rivers, where the party will build a corral to conform to the lay of the Hand. This corral will be used to cap- ture a number of young caribou bulls which will be taken to Mckinley park station later on and wintered there,
 After the breakup next spring the captured animals will be shipped to Nome where they will be mingled with a large herd of reindeer for the purpose of conducting an experiment of crossing the caribou with the rein deer.
 The experiment will be conducted under the direction of Dr. Nelson, head of the Biological Survey, who be- lieves an animal superior to both the caribou and the reindeer can be pro- duced in that manner.
 Although not definitely known at this time, it is believed the captured caribou will be added to a herd of reindeer on Nunavak island. MT. Nitric hopes to be able to get at least twenty young caribou for the expert ment.-Nenana News.

Washington, D. C., to commemorate the sport.
 Names of stars seltected at the con. clusion of future seasons will be added to the monument. The magnitude of the memorial can be judged by the fact that the American league has ap- propriated $100,000 to build it and lead ing sculptors of the nation will be asked to submit designs.
 The plan that has been adopted. by the league proposes that the selection of the player shall be made annually by a committee of sports writers of the eight cities in the league. l. E. Sanborn, veteran retired baseball writer, is chairman of the committee, and it's other members are J. c. OLeary, Boston; Harry Neilly, Chi cago; H. P. Edwards, Cleveland; H. G. Salsinger, Detroit; W. B. Hanna, New York: J. c. Isaminger, Philadelphia; J. Ed. Wray, St. Louis, and Denman Thompson, Washington.
 Ty Cobb, the Detroit manager, and Iris Speaker, the Cleveland leader, will not be eligible for selection on ac- count of being playing managers, but the competition is wide-open for all other players Batting, fielding and pitching records alone are not to be the basis for selection, but faithfulness. continuity of service and conduct - both on and off the field - are to be items of consideration. The purpose of the American League Trophy is to honor the baseball player who is of greatest all-round service to his club and credit to the sport during each season; to recognize and reward un- common skill and ability when exer- cised by a player for the best inter- ests of his team; and to perpetuate his memory.
