The government has been able to
wipe out most of this head hunting,
but it still breaks out now and then
The other day a high school boy of
one of the agricultural colleges, hav-
ing decided to marry, went out and
took five human heads in order TO
show them as trophies at his we'd
ding ceremony. and have them to
ornament his new home. He was
pursued by the authorities, but has
not yet been caught

THE other day while making a
Strip through the mountains 1
found a party of five long-haired
Ilongots, tribe closely allied to the
Igorots, who were handcuffed and
under the guard of two of the
PHILIPPINE constabulary. They had
just killed man and taken his head,
and had been caught in the act. They
were on their way to prison. Whether
they will be executed or not / cannot
say. The native governor of the
province was with me at the time,
and by his permission 1 was able to
make a photograph of the criminals.
These Ilongots are far more savage
than the Bouquet Igorots There are
about six thousand Of them. They
live for the most part in the forest
having their houses sometimes in the
trees. They are a short people, but
are taller and stronger than the
Negritos, who are sometimes scatter
ed among them.
They intermarry with the Negritos
and some of them have wool}y hair
and black boards. The women often
wear short skirts of bark cloth. The
men have a peculiar hairnet over the
forehead. The Ilongots have always
waged war on the Christians nearby
Each of these mountain tribes
seems to have it's own methods of
head hunting. The Kalingas, who
live not far from here. celebrated the
coming OF head into the village with
shouts and war cries. They dip pieces
OF bark cloth in the blood, and hang
them over the doors of their houses
The head is cut off with a special
AK, and it is sometimes chopped into
as many pieces as there are members
of the head-hunting party, and each
takes home one as a trophy. 1t is
said that they sometimes stir the
brains of the head so secured into
liquor, and the mixture is served
as a sort Of cocktail to all who wish
to partake.
The skull is sometimes cleaned, and
the lower jaw broken OF and used as
a handle for a tom.tom or drum The
remainder OF the skull Is kept as
