and accompanied by the guests she goes to the house of the bridegroom, who is dressed in white knee trousers, with a .bandana handkerchief tied about his neck. Together they proceed to the house of the guaynaro, who officiates at the marriage. Hand in hand, they listen to the old man talk for several hours. When he tires he dismisses them. This concludes the ceremony and the dance begins.
 The Dance
 An internal noise, produced by as many as twenty drums and the voices of perhaps a hundred Indians raised in monotonous, ,doleful chant, marks the commencement of the performance. Then the voices are hushed and two lines are formed, one of men and one of women, with the bride in the center.
 All stand for minute facing each other; then, the women advance, the men recede; the men advance, the won- en recede. Thousands upon thousands of times this shuffling back and forth is repeated. Occasionally a dancer will drop out to refresh himself; at times one will fall to the g und exhausted i; but the sturdiest manage to last out the whole affair, which continues through out three days and three nights. The most stalwart Yumbo requires at least three weeks to recover from one of these functions s='s-, .'

MURDER CONVICT
 ESCAPES PRISON
Baltimore Breaks Three Locks
 And Overpowers Guard

BALTIMORE, July 23.-George Gross, one of the four youths con victed last month for the murder of Louis Copen, Baltimore jeweler. over- came his guard and escaped from the jail about 2:15 o'clock this morning. In making his escape, Gross stole pistol from the guard rnd then jumped over the jail wall.
 Robert Emerson, the guard, was knocked in the head by Gross with an iron bar and then locked in the scaped mans cell. He was unconscious for some time after he was located and it was impossible to get an accurate account of just what transpired lead ing to the escape
 In making his escape. Warden Lee said Gross had to force three locks on the cell door. The door was equipped with the regular cell lock, an automatic lock and an extra heavy paddock which was placed on the cell shortly after his conviction when rumors were rife that Gross, and his three other companions in crime would make an attempt to es- cape.

INDIAN DANCE IS
 ENDURANCE TEST
Each Marriage Ceremony Concludes With Unique
 Contest

Each tribe of Yumbo Indians (of Ecuador) is divided into numerous families, and each of these is governed nominally by a chief known as the "guaynaro" Theoretically the quaynaro has power of life and death over his subjects. Actually, he is at the beck and call of the humblest white policeman. The only time his word is undisputed is when a young man from a neighbor- ing tribe mates with a member of the guaynafo's family, writes H. s. Dickey in the Current History magazine. The suitor for the maiden's hand has first to present the guaynaro with rare gifts, after which he must prOstrate himself before the guaynaro and recite seven- hour discourse, in which all the quay naro's merits are set forth. The young woman then is informed of her impend- ing nuptials and within a few days she is united to the man who has chosen her.
 The Marriage Ceremony
 If she has objection, she keeps it to herself; any other course would be use- less. She is 11-years-old it is time she had a husband. Old maids among the Yumbos cast an especial stigma upon a family.
 The day then is set for the marriage ceremony. This ritual begins with a feast in which all the neighboring fam flies take part. At dawn they gather around huge bowls of nauseous con- coction known as chica, which is a fer mented and highly intoxicating drink made from the fruit of the chonta palm:
 While the drinking is going on the bride is being dressed. All her clothing is removed-a short process-and she is provided with a new skirt of blue cloth which reaches almost to her knees. Around her shoulders are tied two red bandana handkerchiefs and across her forehead red ribbon. Thus attired

who reside abroad and draw all of their income from. activities in other coun tries, and pay, hll the taxes the eoun- tries of their. residence impose, is alto gether different, From the point of view of fairness there is only one pos sible answer. Congress should not as- sess Americans who are in such a situ. ation. It is their duty to pay all of the taxes of the country where they con- duct their business. Ifsthey are bur dened with further tax on account of American citizenship they are placed at a competitive disadvantage with citizens of other countries. The concern of the United States should be to encourage its citizens to undertake business ac- tivities in other countries, not seek to cucumber them with handicaps.-Na. tiOn's Business.

CITIZEN FOLLOWED BY TAXES
American Abroad, Subject to Assess
 ment, Supreme Court Decides.

Americans abroad, even with their permanent. domicile in a foreign coun- try and all their property there, must pay income tax to the United States when congress so decrees. This was the declaration of the supreme court in May, when it passed upon the protest of an American citizen who had become domiciled in Mexico and drew all of his income from activities and property in Mexico.
 The federal government has power to levy tax upon an American citi- zen wherever he may be found, is the theory the court upheld. The legal view is that an American citizen, wherever he may choose to reside, receives bene. fits from his American citizenship and consequently, may be called upon by congress to make payment toward its support.
 This case turned upon legal questions whether or not congress had the powe

ANIMAL BATTLES zoo
Beaver Hued. Web-FOOted Beast From
 Amazon Has Voice Of Bird

A "Whatizit" arrived at the Washing ton zoo the other day after a long trip from the valley of the Amazon. It's name was tentatively decided upon after four hours inspection, debate and conjecture by keepers and experts in wild animals.
 "Whatizit" is the color of beaver. It has body like fox terrier. but legs short as dachshund. It has long hair and q long face and diminutive ears. The feet are webbed like d frog teeth are like sharp's; the expression it wears is ferocious. The nature of the beast, however, is mild and self-satis- fled.
 It is said to be the first species of the puzzle to have arrived in this cOun- try. Most remarkable about it is a reputation acquired on shipbOard on the way to New York for singing like a bird.
