PARIS THRILLED
BY AFRICAN
MEDICINE MEN

PARIS. - Several hundred ma
tives from all parts of Africa, who
will take part in the exposition at
Yineennes Park, caused a sensation
here as they marched along the hou-
levards with their long flowing white
robes. blue and scarlet tunies and
leading elephants. monkeys and Loop
ards, several days ago.
Accompanying them were the sor-
cerers,. and medicine men with their
wives and children. 1t remains cold
but these natives of the sun accept
the weather philosophically When
asked if they are cold they reply po-
litely, Not any more than YOU do

First Pianos
Among other musical instruments
they have brought with them are
pianos ever invented type from
which the modern piano evolved.

and had been used centuries before
the modern piano was built. by the
natives of French Equatorial Afri-
ca. 1t is played chiefly on ceremo-

Cooperation Between Haiti Impossible

WINTON, N. Chat there are
so many differences between Hal
tians and Americans that eoopera-
opinion of Lorenz B. Graham, Bap-
fist missionary who has just re-
turned from a three months study
of conditions in the little island re-
public.
He told large audience here
that Misunderstanding have been
largely response pie for the i'll will
and confusion fince the Americans
entered the country in 1915.
The speaker pointed out that the
people are French in training and
in mentality as we'll as in language.
"They are more French than they
are African. and they are as differ
ent from the American Negroes as
they are from American whites. In
deed it would be surprising if ma
rines and civil officials from Ameri-
ca should not antagonize the sensi-
tive citizens of the West Indian
black republic.
Once French Colony
"The country was originally a
French colony and. although it has
been independent for over CEN
fury, relations have always been
maintained with the mother coun-
try. Most of the native crops went
to France and Haitians who could
afford to do so sent their children
to school in Paris.
"Their language has isolated the
Haitians from English speaking
North American and Spanish speak
ing South America. There is but
one other French speaking island
within a radius of thousands Of
miles.
Catholic Religion
"The religion of the country is
Roman Catholic. The government
supports the church with an annual
budget of nearly 100000. Most of
the schools are Catholic and the
cost of education is prohibitiye for
the poorer people. The church has
not encouraged education for the
peasants. The result is that small
educated group has developed en-
tirely separate from the mass Of
the population.
Education for Culture
Among the educated group the
idea of education is not the same
as the American idea. Here we look
TO education for economic benefit
and we judge men by their ability
to earn money. In Haiti they look
to education for cultural develop
ment. They are less interested in
money making than we are. They
see little or no connection between
industry and culture. Their studies
are in letters and arts. When the
Americans tried to introduce indus
trial education on large scale, the
attempt met with general disap-
proval.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 10. -
Special legislative action to amend

result of criticism of existing

Guiding this matter in the proposed

William Hornbower, member of the
assembly judiciary committee and
long one of the leaders for amend
ment of this and other similar
laws.
''The state judicial council prom
ised to bring the matter before the
last legislature, but failed, probably
because of political influences. The
law is a disgrace to the state and
should be amended"
Chief Justice William H. Waste
of the state supreme court, who is
chairman of the judicial council,
was unable to give any rason for
failure of the body to act. Members
of the legislative judiciary commit
tees had the matter in hand, he
said, and the council consequently
did not submit report.
Justice Waste said he believes the
criticism in the Wickersham report
will play an important part as a
lever toward forcing a change in the
California law.

REED FOR FARM
BOARDS CUSTER
Harmful to Wheat Growers,
Says G. O. P. Senator.

By Scripps-H Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, July 18.-Sena-
tor David A. Reed of Pennsylvania,
conservative Republican leader and
an aggressive administration sup
porter, today proposed abolition Of
the federal farm board.
At the same time Reed announced
he is requesting the federal trade
commission to investigate the activi-
ties of the Land O'Lakes CreamerieS,
Inc, northwestern dairy cooper
alton association, financed by the
farm board.
Reeds charge against the Land
OLakes Creameries, based on COM
plants from Pennsylvania dairy
products dealers, is that the CO.
operative is employing unfair trade
practices.
Turning to the wheat situation,
Reed declared, Il also have observed
that the wheat farmers of the
country, instead of profiting from
the policies of the federal farm
board, appear to be the chief suf-
ferers from its experiments. I am
hopeful that they will join in the
growing demand for its abolish
ment."
