The Woman's Welfare Association
conducts a medical and dental clinic
at Eleventh, and L streets.
Those at the meeting yesterday de-
clared that Mrs. Stener had formally
been dropped as member of the
board of directors, which they claimed
had been duly. elected at member
ship meeting of the association, and
at the same time declared that Mrs.
Crichton had been elected president

Have Official Figures.

This writer has just been put in
possession of official White House
figures of payers of respects" during
the Coolidge administration up to the
end of last week. They aggregate
1888. These are the grand army of
hand shakers. There is another class
of White House visitors classified as
"parlor." These only inspect White
House apartments open to the general
public, like the famous east room, the
china room, where the porcelain din
ner services used by all the Presidents
are on view, and the oval room used
by foreign diplomats at presidential
receptions. Another class of ''parlor"
visitors is admitted to the State dining
room and the red and blue rooms on
special cards issued at the request of
members of Congress. 'Parlor" visit
ors have totaled more than 100000
during the Coolidge administration.
On Easter Monday this year 3S.377
persons gamboled over the White
House lawns.

undoubtedly many wives still are buried
with their husbands, despite all the gov
eminent officials can do
But probably nothing better shows the
utter childishness of the simple folk
among whom the Pipers have spent their
lives than the story of the explorer who
went to Sherbro Island. The natives here
have been cannibals, until recently. The
explorer and his wife arrived, and the
heather flocked about, looked upon the
strange white skins, overcome with Won
der. At last an old chief approached, and
started to undress the white man. Shirt,
trousers, shoes and stocking all were off.
At last the white man stood in his union
suit, and then a flame of determination
swept over him. He would not be revealed
to these heather, utterly naked! In a
flash he removed his false teeth. He
waved them before the astounded savages
who had never seen nor even heard of
such miracle as that.
"My cursew announced the missionary,
"and my charm-my juju! He who re-
moves my last garment feels sharp teeth,
like these, prodding in his sides, till his
death. My curse on the man who lays a
finger on my last garment, and looks upon
my naked fleshw
The savages fell back, alarmed, dread
ing the evil eye. And the explorer was
saved the final indignity.
Such were the episodes which made I'D
the daily life of the two little Piper girls
before they left their primeval Jungle and
travelled across the ocean to Goth Gentry
New York. No wonder it seemed like a
journey into Fairyland for them.

sent the stream into its old channel once
more and returned to the village, rich and

But somehow, news of the murder got
to the officials Officers were sent to
the village; stern investigation was
made, the whole plan discovered, and the
bodies.
"There shall be a public hangingw
decreed the commissioner eve will put
fear into these murderers! We will teach
a lesson"
The news was told to the culprits. The
three took the news with no flicker of
feeling upon their black faces. Instead,
they only grinned.
The very ancient custom of supplying
the dead with wives and servants to make
life comfortable in the world to come is
practised in the strange little world the
Pipers left behind
There was the mother of native great
man whose daughter went to Mrs. Piper's
school. This girl was a convert and a
credit to her teacher. Her grandmother
was dead, and Mrs Piper kindly visited
the hut to offer her coincidence. At the
head of the old lady's bier stood lad,
straight, we'll favored, solemn faced. At
the foot stood another. The day after the
burial the two boys were missing from the
village. And when Mrs. Piper inquired,
she heard the story from the lips of the
young native woman.
Yes, two boys, they break their legs,
then they bury, at foot and at head of
grave, so in the next world she have
plenty to run her errands. Yes-good-

This was one specific instance the
Plpers encountered of burying the living

So the price was sent up and up, until
six goats were offered by the chief. At
this the witch doctor arose. He lifted his
arms toward the stars and spoke, with a
voice that seemed TO come from far
places.
"Hear-oh chief! Your mother, even

waited, knowing well for what they wait
ed. The tropic sun arises with boom
out of the edge of the world, there in
Africa by the equator, and with it came
the old man of the river, the crocodile,
from his sleeping place in the bushes.
A terrOr-stricken wall arose from the
old woman whose only fault was that she
was weak and helpless. There was an
opening Of wide jaws, snap of brown,
oOzing mouth; and the chief had fed his
own mother into the crocodile's jaws! The
chiefs followers, men and women, stood
by approving his act.
Such an experience would seem no

many Of the things, Ruth and Margaret
Piper have seen since they reached
America. They were for instance quite
surprised 10 see the very red lips and
pencilled eyebrows of the modern flapper,
they were used to other kinds of feminine
adornment In that part of Africa the
natives slice and prick themselves cruelty,
under the delusion that the elaborate
tattooing makes them beautiful. This
custom was wildly described in verse by
Dr.. Pierre Mile, the French scientist and
explorer. Here is his poem, called 1.-THE
Tattooed Woman:

For most children cannibals are as un-
real as the ogTes and giants of their fairy
stories. But TO little Ruth and Margaret
Piper they are much more natural and
real than for instance, traffic cop with
his white gloves and flashing brass buttons.
In the Bakete country, near the mission
post, the natives still gather round their
human feasts. Death means very little to
these savages, whether it happens to be
their own death or someone else's Murder
is cheerfully committed for few cents.
At one time the members of the Bakete
tribe noticed two natives from distance
who crossed Bakete to go to work IN the
copper mines. Inhabitants of the village
knew when the two would return, and that
they would bring back three yards of
cloth, each, and great wealth-sixty cents
