FIVE-DAY WEEK is IN VOGUE
AMONG SEMI-CVILIZED TRIBE
Yorubas, In Darkest Africa, Have Police
women as Well as Powerful
Political Machines.

The five-day week is not an inven-
ton of Soviet Russia, but has been in
use for a long time among the semi
civilized natives of the Yoruba tribe in
Nigeria, Africa, according to a bulletin
from the National Geographic Society.
The Yorubas have other customs that
make them understandable to Western
ers, the bulletin points out - police
women who patrol the village streets,
and political machines that seat and
unseat rulers.
theoretically this tribe of the Slave
Coast Is governed by local chiefs and o
King. Actually the controlling power is
welded by q political machine made
up of secret societies. When the
council of the Ogboni Society, most
powerful Of them all, Is displeaSed, q
delegation Is sent to the King with q
gift of parrot eggs. An accompanying
statement expresses deep concern at
the fatigued condition of the King,
caused by the cares of government, and
suggests that 1t Is time for him to rest.
Long custom DEGREES that the rest
shall be achieved by swallowing poison.
"At frequent intervals the 'diety'
Orc, personifying the executive power
Of the Ogboni Society, haunts the for
est. His roaring, windlike approach can
be heard in the distance and his
wooden mask, with blood-smeared lips,
and his flowing white robe, hung with
shells, emphasize the importance of his
duty-to punish the Objectionable.
This corner of darkest Africa has its
policewomen who patrol the village
streets to see that their semi-civilized
sisters live up to the local moral code.
Each village policewoman Is known as
Iyalode-'head woman or mistress of
the street. When Orc Is at large the
Iyalode Yields great power, for 1t Is
her duty to keep the girls and women
shut up in huts.
THE Yorubas esteem gods of thunder,
OF lightning and of agriculture, q faith
which Is reminiscent of early Egypt.

In their primitive fear of death they
devise images of the recent departed
ones to insure peace to the surviving
relatives. A child is said to be his de-
ceased grandfather or uncle. Often he
is given the name Of the ancestor who
Is supposed to have been born again in
MIN. Sometimes a mother will carry
her child on one shoulder and on the
other similar mummylike wooden
child fashioned to resemble its deceased
twin in shape and sex. The living child
is always accompanied by this twin
doll to keep 1t from pining and to keep
the spirit Of the deceased twin alive.
The Yoruba week begins with Ako-
ojo. frst or Sabbath day, q day of rest
for all. To undertake any business on
this day will incur i'll luck Then comes
Ojo-awo, day Of the secret (sacred to
1fa); Ojo-ogun, the day of the god of
iron and war; Olo-Shango day of the
thunder god, and Ojo- Obatala, Obata-
las day. Each day is a rest day for
those who follow the god to which the
day is dedicated.
Are Proverb Addicts.
Every fifth day is market day. Yo-
ruba women, perfect blends of Velvety
sun-tan, bring huge baskets of yams.
They carry babies on their backs
throughout the day and feed them
without interrupting trade. The
market women say, "A man of the
town knows nothing about farming, or
the seasons for planting, yet the yams
he buys must always be large
THE Yorubas are addicted to prov
cribs. In place Of out of the frying pan
into the fire'-they say, He runs away
from the sword and hides himself in
the scabbard.' "A hunchback is never
asked to stand up Is their way of say
ing, No one expects the impossible. ,
In the English-speaking world, TO
marry In haste is to repent at leisure
with the Yoruba, Quick loving a wom-
an means quick not loving a woman II"

FRENCH OFFICIALS
ASK EFENSE FUND
italian Situation Stresses
Weak Condition of Ma.
tons Armed Forces.
BY PAUL SCOTT MowRER.
BY Radio to The Star and Chicago Da
News. Copyrisht, 1929.

News. Copyrisht, 1879.
PARIS, France, July 12.-The tension
between France and Italy, as we'll as the
somewhat disturbed state of Franco
German relations following the allied
evacuation of the Rhineland, continue
to produce important results in French
policy and psychology:
l. The French government has just
asked Parliament for $45, 100000 in ex-
ira appropriations for the army and
navy. This is in addition to the regu-
lar appropriations and the cost Of FORTH
flying the frontier.
2. Andre Maginot, minister of war
has just refused to grant the usual
harvest leave to some 10000 conscriptS
on the grounds that these men are now
indispensable" and cannot possibly be
spared for two months without weaken
ing the national defense.
3. Revelations in the Chicago Daily
News last October and November regard
ing the weakened conditions of the
French army are being confirmed almost
daily by some new testimony.
The Daily News showed that the
French army now had only 450, 900 men
instead of 900, 900 before the World War
Of these 100000, 10000 are scattered
IN the French colonies and only 10000
remain in France. OF these 800, 900,
about 100000 have had less than six
months training, or are needed to mix
with reservists in the slow process of
mobilization, leaving only about $50, 900
men actually available for immediate
defense of the frontiers.
Germany, it was estimated, has over
100000 thoroughly trained men avail
able for sudden action.
1t can now be added that the Rome
correspondent of the Chicago Daily
News estimates the strength of Italys
standing forces at $4,000 men, of
which 100000 are Of the regular army
and 100000 are Black Shirts.
Gen. Debeney, until recently chief of
staff OF the French army, has Just pub
ished book in which he asserts that
Germany has 100000 men thoroughly
trained for a sudden offensive. France,
he estimates, could not possibly take the
offensive with less than 100000 men
and could not defend even her thor.
oughly fortified frontiers with less than
100000. OF these necessary 800. GOO.
according to Gen. Debeney, only $4,000
enlisted men and 10000 suficiently
trained conscripts are now available, or
total of 10000.
French army officer writing in a
leading magazine, gives vivid details of
the lamentable lack of training of most
conscripts and the depleted state of the
effectlveS in many regiments.
In view of all these considerations, IL
appears probable that the Chamber of
Deputies will grant the extra. credits the
government requests. The entire army
will also probably soon be reorganized
and strengthened.

SCIENCE GROUP HONORS

DR.. H. K. Wilson, agronomist of
the Minnesota Agricultural Expert
ment Station, University Farm, st.
Paul, whose research Investigations
have brought out some very signitic
ant facts relating to the effects of
premature harvesting of grain crops,
has been honored by being elected
fellow in the American Association
for the Advancement of Science. This
association is composed of scientists
representing nearly all fields of work.
1t elects as fellows only members who
have shown unusual promise as re-
search workers.
The work of DR.. Wilson with the
Minnesota station has to do mainly
with sprir,y and winter wheat and
oats. One of the major problems he
has taken up recently was that of
finding out the advisability of cutting
grain early in years of serious rust
epidemics.
DR.. Wilson's findings were in strik-
ing contrast to the belief held by
many farmers that crops should be
harvested as soon as the rust appears.
His conclusion was that There is no
basis for harvesting wheat or oats
earlier in years when rust is present.
The plant continues to grow and sup
ply materials to the developing grain
up to the time of ripening. Grain
harvested prematurely will be shri-
veled and nder-developed, although
having a high protein content. In
these trials. large yield increases took
place from the time the kernels were
in the milk condition up to the time
of ripening. Wheat yields increased
nearly four bushels to the acre, while
oats increased nearly 15.5 bushels.
Weight per bushel of wheat also in
creased 90 pounds a bushel, when
the grain was allowed to ripen, while
oats weight increased 7.3 pounds per
buShel"

SPORTSMEN WILL CARE
FOR HERON LAKE DUCKS

Twin City men who hunt on Heron
Lake during the duck season have
consented to furnish feed for the sew
eral thousand ducks which are re-
manning on the lake here throughout
the winter, according to report made
public by the Izaak Walton league of
Jackson, says the Heron Lake News.
The situation became serious when
the ducks failed to leave for the
southland after the lakes in the vici-
nifty were practically closed. The
ducks did not go south, it is said, be-
cause feed had been spread by men,
bers of the various hunting clubs who
have lodges in this vicinity for the
purpose of inducing the birds to re-
main on the lake during the hunting
season.
Game Warden D. P. Brady reports
taht there were between 1000 and
5000 ducks still on the lake here last
week, and the action of hunting club
members in agreeing to provide feed
for the birds during the winter is
commendable.

MOTION PICTURE INDUSTRY
CELEBRATES 22ND AN
NIVERSARY IN CALF.

There have been numerous celebra-
tions in California to mark the ami
versary of the discovery of gold, the
mineral whose yellow CLEAN was re-
sponsible for settling of that great
western state. But last week there
was another celebration to mark the
22nd anniversary of the filming of
motion pictures in California. The
motion picture industry has brought
California far more yellow gold than
was ever cleaned from her streams
and hillsides. 1t seems to be a trick
of nature to lure men into far off
places in the hope of wealth, and lat
er they discover that they have been
overlooking the real wealth about
them. Gold lured men over death
marked trails to Alaska. Today the
streams with their millions of sal
mon are more valuable by far than
her gold mines. Thus it has been in
many, many cases. Perhaps some day
we may find that we folks here in
southern Minnesota, drawn here by
agricultural wealth, have been sitting
over wealth we little dreamed existed
here. It's a favorite trick of nature.

TRUMAN CLAIMS CHAMPION
BUTTER EATING FAMILY

Roy Duncanson of Truman, with
an average of ten pounds of butter
a week, or $50 pounds year, is the
largest entrant in the county butter
eaters marathon.
'We churn our own butter six or
eight months in the year, so our
creamery has no way of knowing how
much we use, except in the hottest
weather." he says. Then it averages
from 40 to so pounds month.
Speaking of eating butter instead
of substitutes to raise the price of
butter. Duncanson comments:
What could we save by feeding
grain to horses instead of buying
gasoline for tractors and cars. -
