WRONGED HUBBY IN AFRICA
Has HIS MONEY RETURNED
Domestic Tanges Do Not Involve
Shooting or Expensive Court
Proceedings.

Los Angeles, Calif-Travel articles
illustrated with photographs of Afri-
can natives clothed in little or moth
ing nave created an impression that
these natives are immodest; on the
contrary, they actually wear more
clothes than most American girls.
2. +. Gade, cotton ginner from Dar
es Salaam, German East Africa, made
this comment at the Biltmore on the
popular conception of the SwahiIi
women in his country. These women
actually are quite shy and modest in
the cities where they mingle with
crowds, he said. They wear a thin
shawl that covers them from neck to
ankles as a general thing, and they
are as fond Of gaudy coIors as gypsies,
lie declared.
Back ia the jungles where the ne
groes live BY themselves without min
Cling with the whites, the native men
and women appear as they do in the
travel pictures, he said. And here he
had another observation to make on
a popular fallacy. Many people de-
Tending present dress of women have
declared that familiarity with legs
causes them to lose their attraction
and have pointed to the scantily-clad
Africans as proof of their statement.
These negroes are very moral and
faithful to their spouses, they say.
All wrong, says Mr.. Gade. The ne
grOes are not moral, but he hastened
to add that he doesn't lay the blame
to the lure of the legs for this condi-
tion. Men there buy their wives, pay
ing perhaps $25 for them, and they
look on them as property, not as
sweethearts. Frequently the wife la
ter meets some man who attracts her
and poor hubby is forgotten.
Does he get out the old bow and
arrow or spear and rid the tribe of
the home wrecker? Not bit of it,
says Mr.. Gade. He goes back to the
girls papa and gets his $25 back.
But with all its Interesting features.
Africa is a disappointment to one who
is seeking to develop country, Mr..
Gade said. He has lived there for q
years and declares that progress there
is SO slow as to be almost negligible.
Gade declared he has sold most of his
interests there and plans to locate in
the United States or England. He is
in Los Angeles visiting his brother,
Svend Gade, a motion-picture director.

least 450 official participants will be
there exclusive of any visitors. There
is no church building in Georgetown
with room large enough to hold that
many persons at one time, it is said
Some ministers feel it is unjust to
Georgetown, as the invitation was
only intended, and accepted, for the
ministerial conference. In addition to
the lack of church room there is not
sufficient hotel accommodation to be-
gin to care for the large number of
visitors, it was pointed out. The
Georgetown Church can only seat
about $50 persons in the main audi
torium. The Sunday School room cd
joining, seats about go more, making
4 total capacity Of not more than 300.
While there is no intention On the
ministers to interfere with the plans
Of the Georgetown church, in view Of
the increase in the number Of those
to attend the next session, they feel
that it would be better to hold the
next session in Wilmington, where
there is ample room, not only in the
churches, but an abundance Of hotel
accommodations In the event Of the
Georgetown Church deciding to give
up the entertainment of the next ses-
sion Of the conference, it is likely that
the conference will he held in either
Grace, Harrison Street Of McCabe
churches, and that the conference will
bay for the entertainment Of the min
isters and laymen.

 Atwood. as president of the Chamber is said to haye' become annoyed because Mir. Benson acted on his own initiative and the atmos- phere has been rather tense for several days. It was freely pre- dicted yesterday morning among di- rectors that the meeting. could not possibly result in anything but . resignation, and that either the president or the secretary would re- sign was accepted as q natural de- velopment.
 Chief Hart and Patrolman Dolan were invited to the meeting and were warmly greeted by MT. Att wood.
 The police representatives, as we'll as Secretary Benson were trequested to step outside while the matter was under discussion. MT. Atwood had previously denied a request that the press be admitted. all though the invitation to news papermen to attend directors meet ings has never been officially with drawn.
 During the meeting things got rather stirred up and for a time the atmosphere was quite heated. The meeting lasted from 12:ls until 2:30 o'clock. Although there were no personalities feeling Is reported to have become quite bitter and qucs- tions of Chamber of Commerce finances also came in for some comment.
 Attorney Donald Gaffney at this time is said to have challenged the legal right of either Chief Hart or Patrolman Dolan to sign a contract for the police pension fund, stating that the trustees of the fund are the only ones authorized to act for 1t.
 Treasurer Charles Hawkins spoke on the financial status of the Cham Der, in which he is alleged to have disagreed with Mr. Atwood on the method of certain financial details.
 It was during the heat of the dis cussion that Mir. Atwood is alleged to have said he would decline to remain as president Of an or ganization which backed up the scc- retary instead of the president. This statement was followed by q tpreat to resign, and the resignation threat was repeated on at least two other occasions. it is said.
 When a vote was called Steve Robb. Charles w. Hawkins, Judge w. c. Hungerford, F. J. Porter. Joseph R. Andrews, c. r. Bennett, Attorney Donald Gaffney. and Par don c. Hickey voted to table the whole matter. Stanley R. Eddy, T. P. McAuliffe and Paul K. Rogers voted with Mir Atwood against the motion.
 In yesterdays Herald 1t was 9fx roneously stated that former Presi- dent John c. Loomis and c. F. Ben- nett were present at the meeting.
