CATTLE RAISERS
 ORIGINAL SHEIkS Stories From Syria Shed Wight
 on Ancient Times

Aleppo. Syria, Aug 6 P-Taous Malak, the fallen angeF whom God expelled from heaven, is the patron saint of the sheikhs - not those whose handsome profiles thrown against the American screen have , made flappers' heart flutter. The tribe of the Yazides, wor- shippers of Satan. from which the original sheikhs sprang, are mo- mads living from cattle raising. They number about 12,000 and their habitat is north of Aleppo near the Djebel Soumann. Another branch is to be found at Khaltar, d small town in the vicinity of Diarkebir.
 Trace Ancestry from Heaven
 Sheikhs claim they can trace their ancestry from heaven, being direct descendants of Sheik Charaf-Eddin of the moon." Another early sheikh was Amadin, which means pillar supporting heaven" while a third one was directly related to the sun.
 Some of the present day sheikhs claim to have the power of miracle in rendering inoffensive the bites of snakes and scorpions.
 !, Why Devil Is Worshipped
 Why do you worship the devil, asked an American who had been bitten by a poisonous insect. and, desirous of ascertaining the miracu- lous power of the sheikhs, had sent for ono.
 satan is the source of all evil adn if We ignore him We cannot avoid his wrath. God on the con trary is tho essence of kindness and therefore we have nothing to fear from him." was the way the reply was translated.
 No Divorce Among Shcikhs
 There is no divorce among the real sheikhs in which they differ somewhat from the American species.
 Sheikhs marry only the daughters of other sheikhs. The marriage cere- mony is very simple. It is ques- ton Of mutual consent between the bride and bridegroom, expressed be- fore one of the older shcfkhs. Both newlyweds are then branded with red ink on the shoulders and fore head.
 The sheikh performing the cere- mony then takes branch of a tree and breaking it in two, says: Re main united until death parts you as force has broken this branch

 The case arose when a husband obtained a separation order on the grounds of desertion, which the wiie allowed to go by default. Later the wife. nineteen years old, opposed the judgment declaring that she iett her husband only because he had m suited her with his remarks about her bobbed hair.
 The court sustained the separa- ton ,order saying:
 However unpleasant the eplthets used by the husband may have been they were based on the fact that the wife had had her hair cut short without her husbands authorization

Dr.. Cummings Wants To
See Bones Before Making
Expression As to Giants

TUCSON May 14.-'If the bones re-
Gently unearthed in the state of Nay
arit, Mexico, prove to be those of "a
race of giants the Brobdignags OF
whose anatomies the relics formed
west coast of Mexico at least $4,000
years ago." was the opinion expressed
today by DR.. Byron Cummings, pro-
fessor of archaeology at the Univer-
sity of Arizona, with reference to
dispatch sent out from Nayarit by
the Associated Press. The dispatch
reported that Captain D. w. Page, an
American, and Captain Devalde, an
Englishman, had discovered bones of
men who were at least ten feet tall.
"Giants, if they existed at all, must
have existed on this continent during
the pleistocene or glacial age" DR..
Cummings said. THAT age lasted
100000 years and ended $4,000 years
ago.
If the bones are of human origin,
their discovery will mark an impor'
tant chapter in American ethnology.
Il am familiar with the myths that
tell of a race of giants which lived
in Ecuador and on the west coast of
Mexico ages ago. Whenever ancient
giant bones have been found they
have been proved to be those of ami
mails.
II doubt whether there is any foun.,
dation in fact to these myths about
human giants. 1 shall, however, re-
serve judgment until I can examine
