SAMOANS LIVE
IN GRASS HUTS
OF ANCESTORS
They Don't Take Kindly to
Modern Dwelling; Kava
Always Served.
his IS the last article on American
noz. recently visited by the American
moan Commission.
BY REUEL 5. MOORE
United Press stan Correspondent

PAGO PAGO, American Samoa,
.ov. 7.-American Samoans still
i've for the most part in grass
houses OF their ancestors.
The grass house, or fale, IS the
enter of Samoan life which is
dIled with many customs strange
to most Americans, but which
nevertheless provide the charm
which American Samoa possesses
for the outsider.
In his fale the chief receives his
guests and serves them with kava,
The Samoan ceremonial drink,
which corresponds to the japanese
tea ceremony.
Round In Floor Plan
The fale is oval or round in floor
plan. Posts are set around the out
side at intervals Of about three feet
and some seven feet in height.
On top of these is woven a bas-
ket-like support for the roof, which
Is supported in the center by a
group of from two to five posts
reaching up to the peak Of the
house.
Upon this is placed the thatch
10 shed water During the day
time and fair weather the house is
open, but in bad weather mats are
hung along the sides.
The house is built on a terraced
, pile of gravel or coral, two or three
ordinary steps above the surround
ing ground Mats of la fala. about
~ feet wide and or z feet in
length cover whatever portion OF
the floor which is in use. The
Samoan has many mats for various
purposes.
At Home in Water
The Samoan is at home in the
water, swimming or padding his
little outrigger canoe. He climbs the
tallest cocoanut tree with ease by
tying thong around his ankles
and using this as a leverage with
which to grip the trunk with his
bare feet.
The Americans of the Samoa
commission witnessed many pecu-
Liar sights as they went about the
islands during their hearings here.
But regardless of how strange and
foreign such customs were to the
American flag, it was unanimously
agreed that, congress being willing,
The people of American Samoa
Mould retain their customs and live
their own lives as free from foreign
influence as they choose.

PRIESTS MURDER
 PUZZLES OFFICERS
Spanish Cleric Shot From Be-
 hind in Paris Street

Paris, July IS P)-Polce authori- ties here have been puzzled this week by the mysterious death of a Spanish priest, Father Cipriano Echeverria. who was found shot early Sunday morning in an obscure street. He apparently had been shot from the rear and this and other caused the police to say that he was murdered.
 Echeverria left his hotel toward midnight Saturday and was found dead four hours later. He was known to have met a group of Spanish pill grims, but none was able to clarify the case. Neighbors said they had heard no shots and the theory was advanced that he was shot elsewhere and that His body was brought to the spot where it was found.
 The priests money was in his pocket, eliminating the theory that he was robbed.

OPTIMISM SHOWN
 BY SAVINGS BANKS
Increase in Deposits Reported by
 One Institution

Despite the depression, savings deposits in the two savings banks in this city have shown no decrease and in one of them, for the first six months of the present year. an in crease of s477,746.69 is shown. Economists regard the savings de- posits as one yardstick by which no measure the economic condition of the country. In national survey of the principal cities, only one. Chi cago, has shown a decrease.
 In the Savings Bank of New Brit ain, although the deposits have not gained as much in the aggregate as they would in normal times, there has been a substantial appreciation. The total at the end of 1929 was S22, 917,2S6.17 and this amount had increased to $23,394,746.69 at July 1. 1880. Both of these figures include the dividends paid out to depositors.
 In the Burritt Mutual Savings bank, conditions are found to be about normal without any apprecia- ble increase or decrease in the total deposits, it is said.
 Bank officials here have found that the large cities are generally six to eight months in advance of New Britain with regard to the in crease or decrease in deposits. In 1928. withdrawals took place in New York savings banks six to eight months before any change was mo- ticed here.
 They feel that in cities which, like New Britain. depend almost entirely on manufacturing industries, no great increase will be shown be- cause the populace is working on short time and payrolls are neces- 5arily smaller and leave no'room for savings, after living expenses are paid out. Vacation time also tends to halt deposits and sometimes to lessen them.
 In view of the fact that there has been an increase in the total here for the first six months of the year that 1881 will be a good year. They see in this movement a general in crease in business locally and, if the theory followed before that this city is six to eight months behind the larger cities in the reflection Of in creased deposits, increases may be noted before this year is over.
