.HAREMS Of zULUS ARE
HIT HARD BY Rad TIMES
With Wives at Eight Oxen
Apiece Shopping is Fall
ing of.

Zululand is feeling hard times as we'll
as the rest Of the world, according 10
Olaf Linck, author and editor, Of Copen-
hagen, Denmark, a recent visitor to
New York.
The most noticeable way in which
the Zulu economies 20 meet the exlgen-
cies of his reduced income IS IN limiting
the size of his harcm," SAID Mr.. Llnck.
While a nan still 10 quite within his
rights in Zululand TO have as many
wives as he wishes, still polygamy is
not as fashioable rs it was. When
practiced at all. it is not usually on as
extensive q scale as formerly.
"A chief in Iululand fills his harem
with wives he buys and pays for with
oxen. The usual price for a wlfc IL
eight oxen. 1t doesn't make any differ
ence what her age, her stature or her
looks. Nowadays it is rather the cost of
one wife than the relative cost Of sew
eral wives that a chief has TO think
about. Only a wealthy Zulu can afford
many wives. \ wife can be paid for
on the instalment plan. \ father Will
sell a daughter on easy terms-One OK
down and one OK a month. But woe 20
the husband n does not keep his In
stalmcnts paid up promptly. Fathcr-in-
law has the power 20 put him to work
Mr.. Linck pointed out that all the
makes n Zulu chief think twice befori
he commits himself to numerous wives,
The Zulus are a lazy race, he says. They
live in huts, in small villages or "Kraals,
Each wife has a separate hut and there
are about ten huts toa kraal, each family
composing a kraal.
"Zululand belongs to England anC
twenty years ago England began to cul
tivate the land and plant sugar cane,
said Mr.. Linck. The natives are USED
as laborerS, but they work only enough
to get money to buy oxen, with which tC
buy wives"
Mr.. Linck brought back with him ;
large collection OF the musical instru
ments used by the chiefs in Zuluiand. in
Guiding v%iolins, guitars and war drums
He will lecture IN this country on hi
travels, under the auspices of the Danisl
legation. He will speak on Denmark 4

The Blind Shop is now ten years old.
Before its time not any of the Delaware
blind were self-supportlng. Today a
score of industrious, ambitious men are
earning their livelihood and the most
important feature of this result is the
high spirit of fellowship and hepfulness
| that exists among them. The wages paid
to the blind during the pastl year
amounted to S5,924.S6, in addition TO
| relief furnished outside residents. Busi-
ness amounting to Sl2, 763.l0 was con-
Quoted at the shop during the year pre-
ceeding April /, 1922.
The residents, beside their work,
enjoy music, games and conversation,
and are always in a happy state oil mind
Necessary out-of-door recreation Is made
possible through the use of the regular
delivery truck, which at intervals carries
the workers TO the open country.
The broom shop was r~eorganized dur
ing the year and is expected TO make
great progress. James Wyatt has been
appointed foreman The chairman
Of the commission, G. Reginald Van
Trump, having taken up residence at
the Blind Shop, will keep in close touch
with the work. The music studio ha'
been refurnished, and Miss Marion
Burrows is instructor. Francis Cum.

from the freshman class of the Univcrs-
ity of Delaware and is showing marked
ability in his course of study. lie is very
popular at the university.
