WOMEN RULE IN TIBET;

WASHED HERSELF.

DR. William Montgomery Mccoy

He had to disguise himself as a
Chinese coolie DYING his brown hair

to brown by means OF lemon luice.
His eyes are now badly affected.
Women Rule.
Tibet is a country OF about 1000
900 inhabitants living in mountain
Gus. almost inaccessible region. Dr.
McGovern said the civilization OF the
country has gone to seed.
Women rule in Tibet, he said. In
stead of man having several wives
a woman has a number OF husbands.
Usually d woman marries the oldest
son OF the family and then takes all
the other brothers along with nm
The women have an easy time OF IT.,
there being virtually no house keeping:
Meat is eaten raw, for fuel IS rare and
used only for boiling tea.
Never Battle.
The temperature OF the land gets as
low as As degrees below zero at times.
Dus.ng one OF these cold spells wo-
man took bath and died. She prob
ABLY contracted pneumonia, but the
Tibetans thought that the gods were
angu with her Tor having washed her
BODY. Since that time none OF the IN
habitants bathe.
Dr. McGovern lived in the country
Tor whole year and during that time
he never once took bath. He said
that on returning to civilization he
had to force himself to battle.
He said that divorce IS common in
Tibet. A husband pays the father OF
a woman so much when she becomes
his wife, and when the woman tires
OF the husband she simply returns the
money TO him and tells him to get
out. On the other hand. if the hus-
band desires freedom he simply pays
her a certain amount OF money and
leaves.

ERNEST H. CHERRINGTON

A library of statistics might be pre-
sented on the beneficial results of prohibi-
ton in America Great facts stand out
like beacon lights in the records of states
and cities since 1917 when prohibition by
state law spread rapidly through the
United States until the coming into effect
OF wartime prohibition on July l, 1919,
and of constitutional prohibition on Janu-
airy 10, 1920.
Numerous factors, OF course, naturally
enter into and affect statistical records,
yet it is significant fact that in spite of
the tremendous development of the rail
road activities in the United States of
America there were actually fewer per-
sons killed on or by TIE railroad opera
tons in 1920 than had been killed by such
operation during any year for more than
thirty years. Fewer miners of coal were
killed during the year 1920 in proportion
to the number of miners employed and in
proportion to the number of tons of coal
mined than in any similar period for
quarter of century.
The records of 100 largest American
cities show that there were fewer suicides
during the year 1920 than during any
previous year of the twentieth century
The per cent of deaths of children under
five years of age for 1918, 10 and 20,
was less than for any similar period for
third of a century, and the full death rate
in the United States for 1910 and 20 was
less than it had been for IS years.
Fewer deaths from automobile acct
