FALL OF FRENCH CABINET
MENACEs LoCARNO PACTS

The French cabinet. in resgnins
today, goes the way of others that
have foundered In the sea OF recon-
struction. 1t was only yesterday that
a fulsome cable came out of Paris
reading as il it we're inspired by
the tottering cabinet itself--which
claimed that the genius Of Caillaux
had applied the brakes to the descent
OF the franc and that all was well
for the time being. Underneath It
was a less-inspired cablegram from
London indicating that the franc
had continued slipping. Today the
deluge.
or course, failure Of CaillauX and
his debt commission to obtain a
more favorable refunding plan in
America may have been at the bot
tom of the cabipet difficulty. The
desire of the parties represented IN
the cabinet TO innict q capital levy
as a means of meeting pressing
debts instigated the opposition Of
powerful financial forces, which on
the one hand fought the administra-
ton and with the other speculated
in francs according to CaillauX
The finance minister threatened
condign punishment, but now thai
the cabinet has fallen there probably
viii be no punishment. But 1t Il
Iiiicult 10 forCsec how France cal
ever balance its budget without 6
major financial operation,
What effect the cabinets fall VII
have upon the Locarno treaties, no
yet ratiGcd, is problematical. If The
Nationalist succeeded in coming
into power ~ a result all the worl
of the Locarno conference would b'
nullified: but it is doubtful whethe
the Nationalist will get into power
The next cabinet In all probability
will be composed Of the same typ
of modcrates as the ono which ha
lust vamoosed and the treaties Il
this case will be conserved an
ratified
The saving of the Locarno treatie
out Of the political debris In Franc

Happy Days Among the Head
Hunters
Nv Tr Walter r. TT

BY DR.. Walter r. Traprock
These, fall days always remind
me of the happy times I had
among the head hunters Of Java
who, contrary to common opinion,
are a kindly and affectionate peo-
pie with a well defined civilization.
Head hunting, to them, is as ordi-
nary an occupation as are the for
avs made by US for deer or game
birds. They live by hunting, and the
hunt for a neighbours head gives
the pastime human" or personal
touch. elevating it found a mere
necessity to a social pastime.
From early childhood the chill
dren are taught to hunt. 1t Is their
only schooling. The scholars gradu-
ate from each grade as they bring
to their teacher certain kinds of
quarry: for the kindergarten grade
an insect such az scorpion or
tarantula, for the fourth grade.
say, cobra, for the junior high
a wild boar, for the college sopho-
more, maiden (for they marry
cary and often) while the college
graduate is required to present the
head OF another tribesman. This
decapitation, which seems brutal,
is really a necessary means of
! Identification. In the old days the
board of regents used TO be salts
fed with a foot or hand until 1t
was found that an entire class in
Bwumbo university had graduated
by using the same hand which they
had removed from the least active
member of their own class. They
tried the honor system" but it. did
not work.
The open season for head hunt
ing is from Easter Monday TO
Christmas, with a strict no-hunting-
on-Sunday clause. The season ends
with the great football game be-
tween Bwumbo and Tolumba. The
ball is a skull covered with a thin
layer Of rubber. The players are
almost nude, but carry a shield and
the ball is thrown at the nearest
opposing player. When man Is
put out of a play he is usually out
for good. The head Of the losing
captain is forfeited TO the winners
and the trophy room at Bwumbc
contains an interesting collection
of glorious relics, over which !:
