COLOMBIA, Mo-, Feb. "a
Merle Brawner. Converse, Mo-.
youth, who aspired to a Univer-
sity of Missouri education and
fame on the football field and
basketball court, is 500 nearer
that goal as result Of a journey

initiating the animal into the
mysteries Of the saddle.
Brawner came to Columbia last

university. Friday he heard w.
c. Sutton, farmer, remark that he
had four-year-old mule that
never had been ridden and 500

Brawner took him up, and
without bride. The mule jumped

Slumbering in summer seas, so

south of the equator, the Devils

ton of the Pacific Ocean.
Describing a. five months stay

DR.. Edwin M. Loeb, research asso-
ciate and lecturer in the depart
ment of anthropology. University
of California, revealed the first
definite information concerning the
ways and mode of living of these
people Malaysian students have
been able to assemble.
DIR. Loeb's material was gathered
during recent trip to Pageh, one
of the distant island group, on a
donation by the Guggenheim founda,
ton in New York.
In Pageh there are no chiefs, nor
even rich men, DIR. Loeb found.
Slavery is unknown. The villages
are divided into sections called
"una" and for each ''uma' is a.
priest.
Haunted by the fear that only
the intervention Of strange spirits
of the air are the ghosts Of the
dead restrained from returning to
haunt their homes, the Mentawei
make daily sacrifices, DIR. Loeb
found. The ghosts would bring
with them pestilence and death, the
natives believe.

eaten is communal in character AMI

Act to Crush Youth by

to play yesterday against the grow

movement resulting from Kin 6
Fuad's dissolution of parliament for
three years.
Police Massed.
The return of Nine. Gaghlul from
Europe was made the occasion for
show of strength by the admins
tration who massed police and
troops along the quays and streets
of Alexandria in an effort to over
awe the crowds who filled the city
to see the widow of the former
leader.
Following the Wafdist manifesto
denouncing Fuad's action, the speech
of Nahas Pasha threatening civil
war has rung thru Egypt. The pos
sibilities of an outbreak are openly
conjectured.
Alarmed by the impending strug-
gle, the administration has acted to
crush the three-day strike of law
yers in Alexandria by an order from
the ministry of justice forbidding
any court adjoufnments. The strike
was in protest against Fuad's action
Terrorize Youth.
Participation of the youth in polit-
ical agitation, which has repeatedly
proved embarrassing to the govern
ment, has been met by proposal of
the ministry of education that all
youths indulging in political activ-
tiles be suspended from their educa
tional institutions and excluded from
examinations for one year. Leaders
are to be expelled from schools and
colleges for an indefinite period.
Foreseeing that the majority of
students will in this way be banished
from the schools, the administration
has made plans for reducing the
teaching staffs in the same ratio.
Turnout the country the feeling
that the action of Fuad in dissolving
parliament was effected at the bid
ding of the British government is
growing. Determination to be free
of foreign interference in Egyptian
affairs is freely voiced in spite of
the system of secret agents which
the government is developing in the
Nile towns and villages. Threats of
revolt are constantly heard.

Argentine Strike Grows

ROSARIO, Argentina, July a.
New developments in the Rosario
strike indicate that general strike
is maturing. Strikers picketed the
power station here today, threaten
ing to shut off the power and were
only disbanded when the police force
was called out.
The strike which started with the
strike of the dock workers and sue
ceeded in closing the two main ports
of Argentina, was soon followed by
a strike of transportation workers
and teamsters.
The strikers ranks are holding
steadily. The cooperative spirit of
the strikers is indicated by the ac-
ton of the workers in attempting
to shut off the power to prevent the
few scab-manned trolleys from run
ming.

panies cabled from Brummels re-
