HAVE FIRM FAITH IN DEMONS
Tribe of Lower Burma Employs All
Sorts Of Devices to Overcome
Their Malignancy.

To the Karens, in Lower Burma, the
great bantam trees. the caves and WI
terfalls, deep pools in the rivers and
even the skies, are filed with mys-
terious demons. Bamboo ladders"
are set up for the demon inhabitants
OF trees, and the paths about a hill
village are strewn with rolls of cotton.
trays of colored rice balls, live chicks.
bits Of eggshell and other tempting
offerings to induce the demons TO for
get their evil designs on the villagers.
When they gather TO feast in honor
of the ''bgha," or family spirits, the
young women of the hill tribes wear
the effective seed-trimmed smock In
which they work in the fields. But on
the plains the Karen girls are adopt
ing black velvet jackets in place of the
seed-trlmmed smock, the minor native
airs are being forsaken for the music
of the West, and houses are built on
the solid ground, as are those of the
n~eighboring Burmese. Only in the soli-
tudes OF the hills, far away from ex-
ternal Influences, do the ancient Karen
costumes still prevail.
