which resulted in the awarding of
first prize to No. Engine Co., as
unjust and done by a committee

had made the awards hastily and
without much attention to detail"
The resolutions were signed by Mrs.

Mrs. Hern declared that No. 2 Co. s
float was nearly replica of Now As of

a prize. She also declared today that
No. 6, with its float of huge base
ball Of paper roses, which won third
prize, and No. 10. with it's cottage
depicting widows and children, which
did not get a prize. were more ap-
propriate for the parade than No. 2's
float, entitled Nations Defenders.
Members of the committee of judges
state, however, that they considered
No. 2s float appropriate and repre-
sentative for the occasion, admitting
at the same time that the floats of
Nos. and 10 Cos. were very pretty.

Head-Hunting Still
Carried On as Rite

The savage inhabitants of the
Dutch island Of Mas, off the coast Of
Sumatra, still practice head-hunting
and decorate their homes with human
skulls.
Despite the efforts of missionaries
and government officials, says DIR. A.
Ponsel, returned explorer, they seize
upon any excuse-the completion Of
a new house or new village, the
death of chieftain, or some other
person of importance-to indulge in
gargantuan feasts, followed by ex-
petitions in search of human heads,
and eliminating in wild dances which
continue through the night.
A head-hunters' party begins with
a feast of pork and rice. The host
provides no plates, but cOmpels his
guests to eat from a pig trOugh-a
subtle inference that If they return
from the expedition without any
heads hanging from their belts they
will be regarded as no better than
pigs. Further, he expects them to
take an oath to the effect that if they
fail to bring home some heads he may
take theirs, and those of their women
and children.
When an important person dies the
number Of heads required to subdue
his spirit varies according to the rank
and power Of the deceased.

General G had lost his right arm and
General H. had sacrificed his left.

Once year they observed a special

certain morning General H. would
approach the fence of General G. and,
having arrived, would lean thereon

Some Queer Beliefs
Held About Cuckoos

The cuckoo has been bird of mys-
terry from time out of mind, and
many strange superstitions still CEN
ter round it.
A common belief is that whatever
you are doing when you hear the
cuckoO's note for the first time, you
will do most often during the year.
Both Aristotle and Pliny remark
that the cuckoo makes no nest, but
lays her eggs in the nest Of another
bird.
1t was once thought that one Of
the gods had taken the form of a
cuckoo; and it was then a serious
crime to kill the bird.
Years ago the cuckoo was associ-
ated with the character of the man
whose wife was unfaithful. This be-
lief appears to have come from the
Romans, and probably entered Eng
lish folklore through the Normans.
In many parts Of England the old
people still believe that the cuckoo is
only hawk changed for time and
unable to forget its old habits. They
say this from the cuckoo's habit Of
perching-like hawks and DIVISION
posts and rails, or on anything up
right and detached. And the Old folks
also say that if an unmarried man
hears the cuckoo he will remain a
bachelor for as many years as he
hears the cuckoo repeat its call.

Clear Musical Notes
From Acorn Strings

Following the introduction of the
musical saw which is played between
the knees and either tapped with a
wooden hammer or vibrated by means
Of bow, comes the announcements
of the discovery among the older
members Of Indian tribes in Southern
California, of a musical instrument
made of acorns.
The acorns are tuned according to
their size, and strung together in the
order Of the musical scale. To play
the instrument the Indian musician
takes one end Of the string in his
hand and holds each acorn in turn
between his teeth. Then, using the
other hand, he swings the string
and pulls 1t taut, causing the acorn
to vibrate between his teeth and pro-
duce perfectly clear note.
A favOrite instrument among them
is the elderwood flute. A green stick
is cut from the tree and left to dry
with the leaves attached in order to
draw the sap and prevent it from
cracking. Then the wall of the flute
Is scraped thin in four places and
holes bored by forcing in glowing
twfg Of the particular size required
Only four holes are made in each
flute, and these placed at various dis
tances so that each instrument has
q different scale.

WHAT IS THE AMERICAN
LEGION?

1t is simply an organization of
American Veterans of the World
War, modelled along the lines of The
Grand Army of the Republic; and
membership therein, so says the Le-
gion Constitution, is limited solely to
those who served in the Army, Navy
or Marine Corps during any part of
the period following the declaration
of war by the United States and the
signing of the Armistice. Do YOU
come within this class? THEN WHY
NOT JOIN? The American Legion is
an organization of eX-service men,
run by eX-service men for the benefit
of ex-service men primarily. Are
YOU getting the benefits which are
your due? If not JOIN and let us
assist you; if you have your just
dues JOIN ANYWAY and help your
less fortunate Comrade. Do you
really know of all the advantages
and privileges which are yours as an
eX-service man? disqualification? In
surance? Civil Service preference?
Compensation? Do you know wheth-
er or not you are entitled to a Bat
tie Clasp? An Overseas Clasp? See
the Adjutant or the Commander of
this Post for informa ton. BUT JOIN
THE LEGION. If you do not wish
to unite with Leslie Lawrence Post
choose some other, but JOIN! There
were more than four hundred thou
sand Americans of color indicted in
to the Service during the war period,
yet I venture to say there are not
four thousand in the Legion. Why?
1t is not because only these few have
had the opportunity. Men you are
standing in your own light; join the
Legion. If you feel the policies of
the Legion are wrong; detrimental
to your present or future welfare,
get inside and fight them out; you
will find there kindred spirits and
like thinkers crying for your aid and
counsel. Finally
JOIN THE LEGION!
