committee which will proceed at once
with steps to aid business and indus
try in the fIood-swept state
The Secretary of Commerce appear
ed before the conference. summarized
the damage in the flood area and
brought out four phases Of rehabili-
tation, the last of which. hat Of busi
ness losses, he put forward as one
for the councils attention. The other
phascs-individua aid. railway recon-
atruction and highway restoration
were being cared for through other
agencies. he said.
Huge Loss Estimated.
Mr.. Hoover said that from his OBJ
servations in Vermont he placed the
flood damage between thirty and forty
millions of dollars. Individual losses
are being attended to by the Red
Cross: railways. with one exception,
have been able to finance their own
reconstruction. and highways are ex-
pected TO he rebuilt through Federal

lie said that a similar problem had
been presented by the Mississippi dis
aster and that one of the most i'm
pOrtant phases of rehabilitation then
had been the establishment of pub
lie confidence. The service perform
cd IN the matter of credit had been
more largely in the establishment of
confidence than the actual necessity
for money.
Il do not suggest to you the same
measures, but | believe that some or
ganization that will restore confidence
will become in itself worth millions
in credit without actual supply of
money. In the construction of credits,
with the background of your strong
banking community. the effort re-
quired on the part of your conference
is probably nothing to that required

Arlington County a spirit of antago-
nism or jealousy in respect to Alex
andria City. There have never been
any just grounds for this feeling. but
these matters grow up in commune
ties without substantial reason. and
the feeling is generally limited to
small but talkative number. Like all
jealousy and misunderstanding. it is
due to a lack of apprecia ton of the
true situation.
IF Arlington County wee an incor.
porated municipality today it would
adioin the City of Alexandria,, Sepa-
rated only by mathematical line. Il
is believed there is no pa .llel in the
State for such a situation. If Arling-
ton County were an incorporated city
the practical, common sense thing to
do would be to have = union of the
two cities into one large municipality.
In 1890 the City of Washington had 4
population of approximately 225,000,
or about 5000 per square mile. Today
Arlington County, Alexandria City
and Falls Church have approximately
IS. 900 people, or about $500 per
square mile.
'"Therefore it would seem that Ar
lington County and its envirOns. so
far as population is a measure. is
almost az much of city today ds
Washington was in 1890.
1T has never been publicly or
prominently urged that one communi-
~ be made of Arlington county and
it's environs 1t is believed that there
can be no more objection to such a
plan than to the City of Washington
comprising all of the District of Co
lumbia.
THE bringing together of all the
people of Arlington County and it's en-
virons into one great city will prob
ably meet the opposition of the office
holding classes in both Arlington and
Fairfax Counties and the City of Alex
andria However, the interests of the
community far outweigh the interests
of this class. 1 believe that If the sub
ject is effectively presented to the sub
stantial people of the various sections
it will receive the appreciation of the
electorate and a city of $4,000 people
| will come into.being."

NEW GUINEA TRIBE

Are Most Gentle of Stone.

The most savage people in the
world today, the ordinary sized natives
of New Guinea and gentle ard intelli'
gent pygmies living in the stone age.
were described last night before mem
bers of the National Geographic So
ciety by Matthew NJ. Stirling in an ad-
dress at the Washington Auditorium
The address opered the 1921-2S lecture
series Of the society.
The saVaceS of normal stature were
found about large lake in the middle
course of the Mamheramo River IN
Dutch New Guinea These people go
continually armed 9TH bows ana ar
rows, and wear ;4'tiiicial tails of pail
leaves shaped like feather busters.
Their intelligence is low and the
whites of the expedition were permit
ted to use their movie cameras only
because the natives thought that the
turning of the crank produced the
beads which they wished.
Found i'm Mountains.
The pygmies were found far in the
interior among the mountains after
tedious Journey of three months. The
full grown men of the tribe We're ontT
slightly over feet tall. The pygmics
were found to he more intelligent than
the larger savaCes. and easily nafe
friends with the members of the eX-
pedition.
Recoming engaged involves no ex-
peIfse for a pygmy suitor. Instead OF
buving a costly ring he marks the
bride-to.be's finger by cutting off
joint.
Rattan fiber plays an important part
In the life of these little people
Every man and woman carries large
bag woven of the fiber and in it
transports personal belongings.
Carry Pigs and Babies.
Fruit and other food gathered in
the jungle, tobacco. pipes, etc, are IN
the bag. The women carry the lars-
est bags and in them in addition to
miscellaneous articles also carry pigs
and babies. The villages are small
and the cooking for the entire group
Is done at once.
The expedition described by Mr..
Stirling was under the joint auspices
of the Smithsonian Institution and
the Dutch government. Many Nalu.
able scientific data were coiiecteo
bearing on the physical make up ana
life of the natives. The eXpedltlon
made its Chief baSe at the lou VI

From there a hydroplane was used
in scouting into the uneXplored in,
terror ot the island. This plane flew
to the d, emy country in three hours,
and returning reported finding clear,
ings and villages. The upriver and
overland trip to this same territory
required three months.

there passed before us procession
of young people headed by the viii

holiday attire, white waists, neat
little aprons, some in big shoes, 9th

also in Sunday clothes, trailed af
ter them. They were ali singing in
lusty resonant voices an age-old
melody of Cossack killing a gypsy
who threatened to steal his sweet
heart. 1t was to me beautiful and
thrilling sight-these boys and girls,
barefoot, many Of them, in old
though freshly Numbered clothes,
walking briskly and in step, OBJ
liyious or unmindful of the cares
that pressed with brutal agony upon
their fathers, and giving themselves
with joyous abandon to song and
play. and it made me forget for the

 Kindergarten and primary teachers are forming so many organizations for professional betterment that a possible waste of effort is apparent, it is said. The first step of the study under progress is the finding out of just what organizations the teachers belong to. and just what these organ- izations are doing for them.
