three and a half minutes when rhil Walther got the ball and tossed in the first field goal. neat one from the side court, Arburr was d bit too enthusiastic and his foul enabled Nyhorg to make the score Al. A minutes later Larson broke loose with one of his ovcr-thc- head shots for double decker and the board read 6 to 1. Hoist attempted to give the referee an argument and technical foul was slapped onto him. Larson missed however, so 1t cost the r. and r. boys nothing. A foul by Paris gave Walther a shot which he missed and Paris in turn missed one when Carrazza foulcd him.
 The r. and F. team got its first field goal after II minutes when Joe Jasper broke away from Hankaskas end tossed in a beauty. Yankaskas pushed Hoist and the latter dropped in one basket, bringing the count up to 6-5 and at the 13:55 minute mark Jasper tied it up at 6 all when Nyborg fouled him.

 from Hoist and shot in field goal
 and just to show it was no mistake followed it with another on the very
 next play.
 Yankaskas then committed his
 fourth foul and left the game lr
 favor of Prcisser, but Jasper did not make good on his free try. Arburr'

NIcTiguc Is No Dumb-beIl

It wasn't Walkers fault that he didn't stop McTiguc. Surely he tried hard enough. But McTigue was too cagoy for the White Wal colt"
 There is one ring quality in which McTigue is skilled 10 a high degree, and that is defensive gencralship.
 All his career McTieue has been defensive fighter. If he doesn't want you to hit him you aren't going to hit him--and careful Mike never wants you even to come close to hitting him. Where most fighters concentrated on offensive tactics McTigue set ont 10 be a defensive star.
 Of course, sooner or later some 1 body is going to nail McTigue, care full as he is. It may be Berlenbach. We don't think so. There Is little fincsse about Berlenbach. He is just what you'd suppose a reformed wrestler would be. There is no di- versity to his attack. With him it is slug, slug, slug.
 ! Bcrlcnbach May Wear Him Down
 We saw him against .tugie Rather a year ago, Rather is another Me Tigue for craftinc9s and offensive capabilities. And he was further gone than is McTigue, even now. Still the Paralyzer could do nothing with him. Not once did he land a solid blow against the fading Rat ner, and not once. naturally, did he score knockdown.
 Berlenbach's chief hope for a knockout against the champion (to get comical againD lies in his youth and stamina. From the start he will wage a relentlessly aggressive i; campaign. In the end this may tel on MeTigue, particularly in his legs (AIike was pretty leg-weary in tn, closing rounds against Walker)
 Reduced to state Of physica fatigue where his legs no longer re spond 10 the urging of his alcr mind. Mike the Myth would be al easy target, an open target, for on of BerIenbach's crushors
 And that's what BcrIenhach de mandc 10 score a knockout agains anybody-an open target. He ism smart enough to maneuVer himsel into a position to score one agains an agile thinker, and McTigu

The Second Half,

Dangerous Gerry" continued his great offensive at the beginning of the second half when he scored on pass from Andy and within a few seconds scored again on an accurate toss from Weir. He then got his ! fifth consecutive point when he shot i f.uke's foul. Anderson with q double decker made the score Fafnr 27. Landcrs IS.
 If began to look extremely dubious for I.andors when Luke again step ped on thte gas and after almost seven minutes play brought his teams total up to 9o with a field goal. Rrchorri added snothor and Luke then got loose again for the 2Srd point.
 Here Bucherri went out on per sonals and was replaced by Kcre- lciza. Once more Luke got away and threw in a two counter. Weir then shot in another excellent one and Tafnir still led 29-25. This lead in creased to S1 when Andy scored and went to B when Gerry shot both fouls and KIatka went out of the game.
 Luke. again squirting, tossed in his teams @7th point from the floor and added another in Gerry's foul. Prfis- ser, who had taken McCabe's place when the latter was sent to the cen ,ter. got a long one for two points but Weir offset that when he made 1t t35-Gn. Weir was over anxious how
 ever, and Luke got one point from ,the free line. Then Larson came
 through with a basket and 1.anders

Fafnir Scores First

Fafnir was the first to score when Andersen dropped in two fouls on McCabe. Bucherri and Beloin both missed free shots but Larson, after a minute and 50 seconds, got one for Landers on Andy's foul. Then, after two minutes and 55 seconds, Gerry started doing his stuff and threw in a field goal, making 1t Al tor Fafnir. Buchcrri made it A on neat field goal but Gerry again counted and then McCabe threw in a long one. A double foul on Weir and Larson gave one point to each team when thes shots were made good. Another long shot by Duke and I.anders lead S-7 but Klatka fouled Gerry and the latter tied the score. Gerry then put Fafnir one to the good on I.arson's foul and Be 1 loin added one from the 15-foot stripe. Here Harold Weir began to steam up and he threw in a dandy from the side followed by one bat ted in by Klatka. Again the score was tied when McCabe threw his third long shot, making the count ? all. But Fafnir at once took the lead when Weir once more swished the net for two points. A foul by klatka and Gerry made 1t 15-to for Favnor and then the same boy made it 17-12 when he took a pass from Andy and scored.
 ! Up to this point Mickey Luke had been held scoreless. but he now be- gan popping up and dropped in his first double decker. Then Nelson got foul from Bucherri and mo- ment later Luke was given free try on Nelsons foul but missed. A foul hy Andy and kIatka made the count 13-1G and a sensational long shot by Luke fled it up in a knot al 1 IS all. Just before the first halt
 ended Gerry broke the tic and Fafnil
 was leading 90-1S at half time.

,hriveled. These heads are struggled
into the United States from Ecuador.
where they are cOntraband. Immedi-
ately they reach American shores they
become legal merchandise, says an
article in an English paper.
The Jivaro Indians, of which there
are $1,000 in the oriental region Of
Ecuador, have been cutting off the
heads of their enemies and their own
dead for years. and picking them in
secret preparation only known to
their own savage tribes. The heads.
after treatment. shrink from natural
size to Il grisly miniature about three
by two inches in size.
A halter is said to have repre-
sentative in Ecuador who regularly
ships these heads to Panama City. be-
cause there is no legitimate market
for them in, the cities of Ecuador. In
America, however, they have ready
sale. Prompted by some morbid in
stinct. American women of fashion
pay prices ranging from $3.50 to $3.50
for each grisly specimen.
The market is so brisk in America
now that the demand is far in excess
of the supply, and standing orders are
left by New York dealers with agents,
who find difficulty in coping with the
incessant trade.
In appearance the heads NV mis-
shapen, .l,u are generally covered
with rich, black, abundant hair, some
with red and yellow toucan feathers
in the ears.
A peculiar feature of the dried
heads is that the hair is said to con-
tinue to grow. In the Bishop museum
In Honolulu the hair on one of the
heads grew over an inch in length
after it's acquisition.

WESTERN PAPER ISSUES
IMPOSING PUBLICATION
Acknowledgement Of Colorful And
Attractive Mid-Winter Number
Of 'Lcs Angeles Tines

The Midwinter number of the Los
Angeles Times, out New Years Day,
IS the most imposing and comprehen-
sive yet issued by The Times. 1t is
colorful and attractive, being illus
trated in rotogravure, colors and half
tones, but its strongest feature is an
enormous amount Of information con-
tanned in authoritative articles, many
Of these written by men of high prom
inence in Southern California.
Figures and statistics presented
concerning the activities of the year
1924 comprise striking commentary
on the tremendous strides made by
Southern California in the last twelve
months. Among the contributors are
bank officials, railroad executives and
other men prominent in commercial
life. The articles are profusely illus
trated with photographs and pictorial
drawings by Charles H. Owens, pic
torial map maker of national promi-
hence.
This Midwinter Number is the 10th
published by The Times, the fortieth
milestone, as it were, of the progress
of the Southwest In its own words,
it contains more facts and informa-
ton, because 1924 was the most e.
ventful year in the community which
it represents.
Doubling of export trade, increase
in population and valuation, a build
ing record of $15O,OOO,0OO, new high
ways, great flood control and water
conservation projects, new public ia
cilities and utilities, harbor improve
ments, increase in factory output to
,O0O,OOO,OOO and many other ac-
complshments Of 1924 are told attrac-
lively and concisely together with an
nouncements that portioned an even
buster and more eventful year for
1925.
Southern Californians will be par
ticularly delighted with the issue be-
cause it's vast array of facts constl-
tute a record of achievement seldom
il ever equaled by any community.
The issue is, in fact, an overwhelming
refutation of the unwarranted slurs
on Southern California circulated so
extensively throughout the East and
Middle West during the year 1924.

very fascinating little Japanese lady
his wife, sister of Princess Itsulo
Nashimoto and fourth daughter of the
late Maruis Nabeshima, former lord
of the saga clan. She he's taken her
place in the life Of Japan as court
lady and was lady in-wa ting to the
late Empress Dowager Shollen Ko-
talgo.
The japanese Embassy in Franklin
Square, once the home Of former Rep
resentative Sibley, of Pennsylvania,
and of former Vice-Pres dent Shcr-
man, is charming broad, white stone
mansion with spacious rooms, where
society loves to congregate, for social
functions are always interesting there,
not only because of the great friend
illness of the hospitality offered by the
representatives Of the "Flowery King
DOM" but because of novel features
which are sure to be introduced.
Very often the mistress of the man.
sion will wear her native costume,
even if, for visiting and for taking
part in other soc al functions, she dons
European fashions. Her tea table on
her days at home always is set with
Japanese dainties as we'll as Ameri-
can cakes and sweet meats. Tea, of
course, is superlative in quality and
flavor, and the Embassy personnel
who preside at the table converse with
callers in English, French or Japan
csc, as the occasion demands.
Baron Won Nathan, who has been
named as the successor to DR.. We'd
feldt as Germans envoy, while only
46, is deemed veteran in diplomacy,
SO distinguished has been his career
in that field.
He is said to be the most brilliant
statesman at the disposition Of the
German government. The baroness.
too, has won her laurels in the social
sense and comes to Washington with
a reputation of unlimited experience
in many capitals of the world and a
record of drawing accomplish
ments which promises a brilliant flu
ture for the embassy, which has been
under a cloud, of course, since the
Word War.
1t will, under the new regime, take
it's old place in the social life of
Washington, no doubt, with a social
program as distinguished as in the old
days when the late Baron Speck Won
Sterberg, the friend and tennis mate
of President Roosevelt, lived there
with his beautiful American wife, who

was Lillian Langham, of Kentucky.
The Baroness Won Maaizan was
Edith Gruson, daughter of a tremen-
dously wealthy steel manufacturer at
Madgeburg, and it was in Picking,
while visiting relatives there, that
she met the able young diplomat,
Baron Won Nathan. They were mar
RED in the old Chinese city, and the
only child, daughter, named for her
mother, was born under the shadow
Of the Imperial yellow dragon, the
flag of China.
Both the baron and baroness have
large private fortunes, and the bar
oness who speaks English perfectly, is
a great favorite with the American
colony in Berlin.
The new envoy from Brazil is not
arriving, but returning to Washing
ton, one might say, for M. Gurgel do
Amaral served here some II or 1e
years ago as counselor of embassy
acting as charge when his chief, M.
Nabuco, was on leave.
Immensely ambitious, the young
South American returns to Washing
ton, where he has host of friends, as
the envoy plenipotentiary OF his gov
eminent, having previously served in
London, the goal of all men in the
service. He is dark tall and disting-
nished-l looking, and Nine. de Amara)
is likewise handsome, with the typical
dark Southern physiognomy of her
countrywomen.
The present Brazilian Embassy is
the home of the late Henry Adams,
next door to the old Hay residence, in
Lafayette Square. 1t faces the White
House on the opposite side of the
square, but probably will give way
soon to the march of so-called pro-
gress, which seems to be eliminating
as fast as may be most of the old
landmarks of Washington. The Hay
house is doomed. On its site soon will
arise a modern hotel and on the other
side the new Chamber of Commerce,
stands where the homes of Daniel
Webster and Sidell once marked the
trend of history.
Maybe Brazil will build it's own En-
bassy home, just as so many foreign
powers are doing. Italy is complet-
ing a palatial mansion in upper Six
teenth street, where the Italian AM
bassador, Prince Caetani, will hold a
house warming the last night of the
month. 1t seems a peculiar irony OF
fate that the Ambassador, who chose
the site and superintendent the con-
struction OF the handsome new En-
bassy which cost thousands of dollars
should not be remaining at his post to
enjoy the fruits of his labors.
