carried through jungle in hammock
carried by his subjects and with a
retinue Of attendants. Each little figure
Is modelled to life in brass. There are
also brass models Of hunting scenes.
Instead Of preserving records of nota-
Bile events in drawing or painting, as
did the primitive European, the Nj
gerian system Is to model it in brass.
The religion of the country now Is
ostensibly Mohammedan and the COL
lection contains several delicately FASH
Toned Moslem amulets with pages of
the Koran inside. Actually there is
much remaining of the old voodoo cult,
represented by the weird, deliberately
painted masks.
Slave Trade Recalled.
This collection, it was pointed out. is
OF special interest since a great ma
jority of the natives brought out of
Africa in slave trade days came from
this part of the country, although they
may have been brought originally from
somewhere else by the Negro slave
traders.
That the artistic ability of the people
has declined little since ancient times
Is shown by the apotheosis of the tin
can in two samples collected by Mr..
Roberts. Cigarette tins lined neatly
with leather and fur become objects
OF considerable value with little like
ness to their original state.
Among the objects of cultural in
terest are pottery stoves with CRATE,
1repan and oven fromed out of the
same lump Of clay.

From the interior of Nigeria, origi-
nal home of the voodoo cult, the Ma
tional Museum has just received large
collection Of native implements and
articles of magic presented by G. G.
Roberts of Maiden, Mass, an oil OPP
orator who has built up an extensive
business in this little known country.
This section Of Africa, where native
culture has reached its highest levels,
hitherto has been unrepresented in
American collections. The most con-
spicuouS objects are the frightsome
wooden masks used by the native ma
gicians. These are deliberately carved
heads OF animals and grotesque human
faces employed in the rain-making and
fertility rites. All show a highly de-
veloped artistic ability. They are used
in the weird metamorphosis ceremonies
in which men are supposed to change
themselves into totem animals.
Brass Work Examples.
The collection also contains many
examples of the famous Benin brass
work. The Hauser Negro tribe, 1t was
explained, apparently progressed di-
rectly from copper to iron without 60
ing through the bronze era which has
been common to other civilizations.
Their extremely artistic iron statuary
has been one of the wonders of the an
world. The use of brass
was introduced by the Portuguese during
the early explorations Of the West
African Coast.
Among the objects is q model Of a
safari in brass, with the King being

Unable to Work,
Unable to Play,
Man Shoots Self
Christopher III. Brashear
Asks to Be Left to Die
When Found Shot.

A man must work, no matter how
much he enjoys hunting and fishing
and reading good books. At the age
of u. Christopher H Brashear felt he
still could work on.
When he was retired two years ago
from the District purchasing ONCE. and
when his chief came to grasp his hand
Mr.. BraShear was both glad and indie
Scribably sad
He was glad because at last he would
have leisure to pursue his favorite
pastimes-hunting and fishing and
reading good books.
On the other hand he felt the world
no longer needed him. For months he
pottered about his home at 1912 Madi-
son street, trying to enjoy his new
found freedom, trying to be enthusi-
astic about his oldtime hobbies.
Yet fishing and hunting, it appeared
were a goung mans sports Mr.
Brashear's knees buckled under him
when he went forth with ROD or gun.
He fell back on reading and a wear
later the printed words began to blur
before his eyes. This much members
Of his family knew; what thev couId
not know was his thoughts Yesterday
when he stumbled into the dirnness Of
his basement with 80 caliber revolver
in his pocket.
There was single report which Mr.
BraShear'S wife heard, a mufled sound
that had familiar ring-it was Mr.
Brashear, half blind and almost GRIN
pied, stumbling over something else in
the basement. He was always stirring
around.
Not long afterward Mrs. Brashear he
came uneasy-it was not like her hIs-
band to be quiet for so long. with
sudden alarm she hurried down thp
basement steps. Mr.. Brashear was
stretched on the floor beside his o1,n
Horror-Stricken, Mrs. BrasheaT sau
she could not move her husband I'm ths
steps, and ran to the telephone to call
police from No. Is precinct, just around
the corner.
Ofncers T. c. Bragg and E. F. Lewis
responded. In the cellar Mr.. BrasheaT
addressed them from where he lay upou
the floor:
IT wouldn't have done this if didn,i
want to die, so please do not take me to
the nospital!"
An ambulance from Emergency Hos.
pital, however, was already at the door
and Mr.. Brashear, still conscious. wa,
taken away for treatment of a bulIet
wound in his temple, despite his re.
quest.
AS Mr.. Brashear said TO the two bic
policemen, he wanted to die. Last nigh
at $3.50 o'clock his wish was fulfilled.
