ADVERSE WINDS
STEER BOAT TO
CANN|BAL ISLE
Inflated Party Happy to
Find Natives Prefer
Canned Goods.

BIZ United Press
SYDNEY, Australia, Oct. 22.-Car-
ried by contrary winds and currents
eight natives of New Guinea were
recently carried more than 200 miles
to another group Of islands. They
were adrift for month with very
limited supplies of food and water.
The natives set out from Wood
lark Island, off the northeastern
coast of New Guinea, to return to
their village on Loughlin Island, a
few miles away. Their frail craft
stripped by headwinds and a strong
current, their short journey became
one which must go down as an epic
of the sea.
Without Water
How they managed to Nive for a
month in the canoe is a mystery, as
their only food was a small quantity
of meat and native vegetables. Wa.
ter gave out after a few days, and
the natives owed their lives to the
fact that on several occasions rain
fell and they were able to catch
some water in the sails.
Island sea-farers say that few
,Nwhite men would have lived through
he ordeal. The canoe required skill
full handling in the stiff breeze. and
they could do nothing but hope that
they would be carried to some island
Their frightful experience will never
be known, for all the natives say
is that they had plenty bad time"
They landed at an island which
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1926-10-22

they knew to be inhabited by canni-
balls rather than continue that awful
lrift that meant certain and slow
1eath by starvation. They beached
their craft at the island of Celia
Celia, in the Solomon group, ex-
pecting every moment to see a horde
of hungry cannibals swoop down on
them with their carving implements
and a stew-pot But when the Celia
Celia natives did come, they proved
to be fonder of American timed
fruits than live human beings, and
they tended the castaways care
fully.
Are Rescued
Later an island schooner rescued
the natives, and took them to the
port of CLIO, whence a steamer
transported them to Sydney. After
landing at Celia Celia, one of the
eight natives, an old man, died, his
experiences having proved too much
for him, only one CT the others could
speak even pidgin English, and this
is how he gave his version of the
trip to an Australian reporter: big

After a few days in Sydney, the ma

given them up as lost. Hence many

Flappers of the country are

N. S. Sherman of the Boncilla Labor
atories, Indianapolis, told the nation
al BARRIERS supply dealers convention
at Chicago this week.
The bobbed- hair craze with its
fast changing styles has added more
than $150,000,O to the annual rev.
enue Of the tonsorial artists, who

clared.

Sherman said
Estimates Expenditures
The expenditures of 10000 900

mated by Sherman as follows:
$500, 100000 for shaves.

respect for treatment of his face. ;"
Sherman said.
This is indicated by the fact that
500, 0000 900 was invested in facial
messages and clay packs last year
by men,"
"It used to be that a man was
ashamed to enter a barber shop and
ask for a facial treatment. I think
the women have revolutionized the
trade"
Abandon Safety Razor
More and more men are abandon
ing the safety razor for the barber

Each year a great increase in
the number of shaves is reported by
BARRIERS over the country. 1t is so
handy. A man can walk into a bar

Shermen rejoiced at the passing
