sinister. As some phrase from chiefs heavy
lips a wave Of movement would sweep over the
phalanx of grim barbarians like the wind in
jungle grass. This went on for three days and
three nights. And then peace hove in sight.
The issue was narrowed to matter of COM
pensation and adjustment of claim between the
tribes. 1 remember the point. 1t was this:
The Kalinassans had secured 81 Apayao heads,
but the Apayaos had added only nine Hllinas-
san heads to th5ir collection. What were we
going to do about that? 1t finally adjudged
that Godaran's men should be fined and the
Apayaos were compensated. Money did the
trick or valuabeS in lieu thereof. I don't re-
member the amount Of the fine or Indemnity,
but do know that it had to be paid on the
Spot-cash principle, which is anathena TO the
treasures of great nations in the Western
Hemisphere.
The Kalinassan-Apayao peace treaty became
an accomplished fact. Solemnized by weird rites
and savage ceremonial. membe: o. each
tribe stood before tree and chantsd the terms
of the treaty from beginning to end. Then they
took the oath, uttered terrifying yell and
snatched the head AK from their girdlas.
With one powerful stroke they buried the head

Then came the piece de resistance.
For the next item the program was tie
ceremony of the blood-compact between the
Kalinassan chief of the head hunters and
somewhat uncomfortable orchid hunter. The
rites of this Igorote ceremony were, of course,
known to me. The candidates each cut the
others flesh with a weapon and drink tire blood.
My weapon nothing more formidable
than a razor. And it was with mixed feelings
that observed my Observation-Disclosures loosen
ing the head AK in his girdle. NJ innate
sporting instincts mutely protested. Fair plays
a Jewell 1 thought but razor versus head ak
seemed far too much like the Christian versus
the lion. Besides. mine was a safety razor.
However, I took out the blade and held it be-
tween finger and thumb. Godaran smiled and
offered me his muscular left arm.
I cut him where the vaccination MARKS would
have been if he had any. He just glanced
down at the trickle of blood and drew his head

A representative of of these agencies in
discussing the matter said: Il am convinced
that Mr.. Grains committee has a constructive
program. That is why offered him the
services of our agency. Our men have contacts
that will be Of the greatest value to Commits
Sioner Mulrooney and to the committee We
are willing TO work without pay to put this
thing over. We appreciate the fact that the
district attorneys funds are limited by his
appropriation and that he probably will need
extra help in an emergency OF this kind"
No less q person that President Hoover has
asked the Nation to awaken to the peris Of
racketeering and organized lawlessness. He
takes the ground that the States have suffi-
cient power TO cover such criminality.
The Federal Government the President
declared in a White House statement, rs
assisting local authorities to overcome hideous
ganester and corrupt control of some local
governments But 1 get satisfaction from
the reflection that the only way this can be
done rs for the Federal Government to convict
men for failing to pay income taxes on the
financial product Of crime against State laws.
What we need Is a more widespread public
awakening 10 the failure of some local govern
ments 10 protect their citizens from murder,
