NATIVE SAMOANS
 FEAST OF DEATH
Religious Institution Of Ages
 Being Continued

Pago Pago. samoa, Jan, 22--The Death Feast, an institution which has been handed down to each succeed il ~ generation of native Samoans from the earliest times will not he abandoned at present. the assembly of titled chieftaius has decided, In this decision His Excelency Henry F Byran, captain of the |. S, Navy and present governor of American Samoa, has acquiesced.
 In its inroads, western civilization has abolished many of the pictures que social or tribal customs of the Islands but the primitive method of showing respect for the dead wilt not be outlawcd until the Samoan people themselves are ready for tho change.
 A resolution 10 do away with the ceremony was defeated in the American Samoa Annual Tono. The Fono is an assembly of titled chiefs who meet each year to confer with the officials Of the administration, and is presided over by the naval gC"crnor in person.
 The Samoans boneve that the pro per '2ay to honor the dead Is to gorge themselves with food. then yell, chant or sing their hymns Of sorrow until they fall asleep from exhaustion. The food is furnished by the family or clan of the deceased. All people are at liberty 10 partake Of the reast. Food usually consists Of pigs roasted whole. taro breadfruit, baked bananas, fish, bread and per
 haps keg beef bought from the
 traders store.
 The main objection lies in the fact that a family which has beer
 unfortunate to lose one of It's mem l hers may be undulv imnovtrished ir upholding the custom, This is espe'
 cially so in the case of high chiefs whose family connections combine
 several villages. The cost of the
 great amount of food sometimes SC . impoverishes the entire communit, that II does not recover financia
 co~'Fort for r. lths.
 Governor Bryan in closing the dis . cussion of the resolution of aboli
 ton said:
 - The majority of the Samoan peo { pie are against the resolution. there l fore 1t "annot be made law. II is ; . s moan custom. and it Is. for th' 5 SNmoans to change their customs ir = accordance with their own desires. ] Governor Bryan summarized th'
 policy of the administration for 192'

as "Lessel taxation. improving Of the school system, progressive road building program, better health facilities for the Samoan peo, pie and encouragement for a larger oul nut of copra,"
 The chiefs expressed q confidence iD the naval administration and promia' ing loyal support of the Samoan people 10 any measure taken by the governor for the betterment of Sa. mon.

Tie a tin
 to trouble

A TIDY red tin of Prince Albert, to be exact. There's the greatest little trouble chaser in the known world. P. A. and trouble don't speak the same language. But trouble understands when P. A. says: "On your way!" Pipe-grouches choose the nearest exit.
 Yes, Sir, P. A. is right there with the Pollyanna stuff. Sunshine, gladness, the light heart, the bright smile. Because Prince Albert is the cheeriest, chummiest tobacco that ever tumbled into briar or corncob. A pal to count on, no matter how the battle goes. A friend in fair weather andfoul. Goodold Prince Albert!

Smoke P. A.-and smile. Cool, com fortable P. A. Fragrant, friendly p. A. Not a tongue-bite or throat-parch in a ton of it. The Prince Albert process hung the ''No Admittance" sign on Bite and Parch the day the factory opened. That means you can hit P. A. hard and fast-with no regrets!
 Men who gave up trying to smoke a pipe have tried again with Prince Albert! That proved to be their pass word to jimmy-pipe joy. They're P. A.. fans today joyous, eontented, glad they've found their tobacco. Buy tidy red tin before you do another thing.

Clean Up And Paint
Up Urges Fire
Chiefs

Clean Up and Paint Up Cam
paigns will do more to reduce the
national fire loss than any other
means that has yet been devised.
This was the declaration made at
the Sind annual convention of the
International Association of Fire
Chiefs, by its president, Chief Will
liam H. Bywater of Salt Lake City.
Each of the chiefs composing the
association, which has a member
ship of $500 was urged to extend
the fullest possible cooperation to
all clean up and paint up cam
paigns and this support was pledg-
ed by the convention in the reso-
lutiOns adopted.
Our national fire loss now
reaches the staggering total of
about $500,000,0OO every year, -
Chief Bywater declared. "The
greatest causes of this loss were
carelessness and rubbish, both
causes that can be easily elimi-
mated.
"It is time we came to a realiza-
tion that daily clean up of our
property is as important as our
daily food A week or two of in
tensive clean up is all right, but its
chief purpose should be to inspire
those reached by it's message to
continual cleanliness. The impor-
tance of these real campaigns to
clean up and paint up and keep it
up cannot be overemphasiZed.
ut follows that painting will
follow cleaning, since rubbish often
conceals the need of paint, and the
man who has sufficient pride to
keep his property clean also wants
it to be bright under a recognizable
coat Of paint"
Chief Bywater said school stu
dents are the foundation of the
success of any Clean Up and Paint
Up Campaign. In Salt Lake City
the students of the fifth and sixth
grades made a survey and turned
in 10000 report cards showing con-
dition OF, property, he said. Similar
surveys in other cities would result
in widespread cleaning up, he also
stated.
The association has asked the
National Clean Up and Paint Up
Campaign Bureau, which is a mem
Der of the National Fire Protection
Association, to further cooperate
with it this year in endeavoring tC
reduce the national fire loss.

WOman's Club Luncheon
ENJOYABLE Affair

A most enjoyable social affair
last week was the Woman's Club
one o'clock luncheon given Friday
at the Guild Hall, honoring Mrs
Mary Evans, retiring president of
the local Woman's club. Places
were laid for fifty at the long tables
which were placed in square, the
decorating effect of pink and white
being carried out with dainty nut
cups and place cards, and large
vases of roses, which adorned the
tables. The delicious three course
luncheon was prepared and served
by the High School Domestic Sci
ence girls, under the supervision Of
Miss Vera Warner, instructor in the
local high school. Mrs G. A. Han
sen, the charming tOastmistress for
the affair, had very clever pro-
gram arranged, in which the open
ing remarks and introductions of
speakers was in verse. Those who
made responses took for the first
letter of their keyword, the letters
of the given name of Mrs. Evans.

eralism." This was followed by a
beautiful piano solo by Mrs. James
Day. Mrs. G. F. Neill, who had
taken the second letter of the given
name Mary, chose Assistance" as
her subject. In a very witty talk
which she entitled "reminiscences"
Mrs. Walter Olds pictured the Wo-
mans club as the old fashioned
patch quilt, and with clever illus
trations and remarks, brought out
the similarity of the local club and
it's president to the quilt and its
stitching. In conclusion, Mrs. Wal
ter Martin, took the word Yeast"
as her subject and with number
of witty remarks, brought to light
some of the many worthwhile
things Mrs. Evans has done, while
president of the club, and plans
she has outlined for the future. The
beautiful solo, "I Love You Truly"
sung by Mrs. Bruce Matthie, pre-
ceded the concluding response on
the program, and was met with
much applause by those present.
During the entire luncheon, inter
spersing the other numbers on the
program, the high school orchestra
composed of Jane Day, piano, Burl
Hammond, violin and Dennis Swee-
ney, saxaphone, rendered a num-
Der of selections. In concluding
the program, Mrs. Hansen present
ed to the honor guest, beautiful
basket of American Beauty Roses.
In a few we'll chosen words Mrs.
Evans gracefully accepted the tok-
en- from the local club members,
and in concluding her words of ap-
probation, urged the members to
carry on during the coming year,
as they have so faithfully done un-
der her administration during the
past year. In closing, Mrs. Evans
took the opportunity to introduce
the newly elected president, Mrs.
G. H. Madden, who gave a short re-
sponsive address. Following her
motion a hearty vote of thanks was
given Miss Warner, Domestic Sci
ence teacher and her pupils for the
dainty luncheon and the members
of the high school orchestra, who
assisted in making the program
such a pleasing one.

social success. Places were laid

following the meal. While the room
was being prepared for dancing,
the gathering was entertained with
several dance numbers, very clev-
erly executed by Mrs. Ernest
Foulks, that we're met with such
approval that the young lady was
encored time and time again. The
Misses Rhyan and Ward, two clever
girls were delightful with their ex-
hibition Charleston dances. The
card games, which had been sche-
duled, were eliminated during the
evening, due to the fact that no
one was in the mood for the enter
tainment. Last Friday evenings
affair proved such decided sue
cess, that it was unanimously de-
cided that the present committee
would continue to serve and furnish
an entertainment of some charact-
er each month. The next party
will probably be held May 25th.
