tales how the natives Of Africa in the

welfare, particularly in the matter Of
hunting up bananas the favorite food
Of the Africans in the Congo-H uri
forest.
DR. Schebesta wrote from first
hand information, for he passed
eighteen months among these quaint
people before he began his book. The
book is profusely Illustrated, many of
the illustrations being from photo
graphs by the author. 1t is the first
intensive study of the pigmy and
many scientific facts have been
brought to light through this research
The author calls the pigmies "the
happiest people on EARTH" although
their whole lives are spent in the
gloom Of the dark forests. Tribe unit
is unknown among them. Physically,
are a distinct race-vital and hardy
however, as well as mentally, they
They are no degenerated remains Of
some people.
Unlike many primitive peoples, the
pigmies do not indulge in worship Of
the dead, but they do believe in a
highest being, to whom first fruits
and other offerings are made and to
whom the dead go. Of magic, there is
and there is totemism.

In the next two weeks Omaha will
entertain two sporting events that
are new to our city.
Sunday the local Swastika Club
entertains the Central States Golf
Association, and the following Sun
day a Tri-city Tennis Tournament
between Des Moines, Kansas City,
and Omaha will take place at the
Maple Street courts.
The past three years have found
Omahans gradually creeping to the
front of the Western Golfers to the
place where they now have some of
the most feared players in this part
of the country. In a tournament held
in Kansas City recently, three of the
four semi-finalists, Gabby Watson,
Chef Hodges, and Penny Murray, in
the Class A division were Omahans,
and two Omahans were in the semi
finals Of Class B. Gabby Watson
won the Glass A division defeating
Hodges in the semifinal and Nc
Laoin Of Kansas City in the finals
Bell Davis won the Class B Champ
ionship. This was a tournament in
which st. Louis, Kansas City and
Omaha was represented. In team
matches with Des Moines, the Oma-
hans have had an even break in the
two matches played with the Valley
Club and have swept all matches
played with the Alpha Club.
The Tennis stars in Omaha are in
their ascendence. There was a time
some ten years ago when Omaha had
some fine tennis players. For a long
period, however, interest Jagged and
the courts were practically deserted
Sports lovers in Omaha are happy
to see these two sports coming to the
front in u city. Inasmuch as they
make lasting friendships and carry
on pleasant social relations with the
neighbor cities.

ARYSSINIAN PRINCE VISITS
NEW YORK MUSEUM

NEW YORK CITY-(CNS)-On a
visit to the American Museum of
Natural History here last week,
Prince Desta Demtu, son-in-law of
the C~onquering Lion Of the Tribe of
Judah Emperor Halle Selaissie | of
Abyssinia, expressed great amaze
ment and admiration at the complete
ness and thoroughness Of the museum
exhibits.
In the African Hall he stopped
suddenly when he turned a corner and
faced, at the distance of a few yards,
a group of Nyala antelope, and ex-
pressed great surprise at the com
p~leteness Of the exhibit from his ma
tive country.
The Ras (Prince) accompanied by
H Murray Jacoby, special ambassad-
or appointed by President Hoover to
visit Abyssinia in 1880 for the coron-
alton ceremonies Of Halle Selassie,
arrived at the museum at about 1:30.
They were met by DR.. George H.
Sherwood, director of the museum;
Vice Director James L. Clark and
others, including and interpreter. At
ter a visit to the bird groups on the
second floor the party went through
the partly completed African Hall
and inspected the models for the
groups that are to be placed there.
He told Mr.. Clark that he would
like to consider the possibility of pre-
senting some specimens from his own
land to the museum and added that if
possible he would like to give the
Nile group, which is to be placed in
the African Hall, and which is still
undonated.

WHO is THE SANTA CLAUS?

A lot of people have come to look
upon Uncle Sam as a financial Santa
Claus.
They forget that every dollar that
he gives to his children i-as to first
be taken away from those children in
the form Of taxes. 1t i just begin
ming to p~ercolate into the peoples
minds that the $4,000. 600, 900 public
works program is going to have to be
taken from them, the taxpayers.
Every community is c~lamoring for
a share of this fund and although the
government gives 300 outright Of
sums allotted to projects which it ap-
proves, the remaining 1929 must be
returned by additional tax levies in
every political subdivision obtaining
a loan. The 300 that is given outright
must be dug up by all the people for
the favored section to which it is Civ
en-. The public works program. which
has been passed as an
measure in time stress, must Of neces-
sity increase the burden Of the tax
payers, unless ways and e are
found to cut government costs in some
manner, sufficiently to offset this
new expense.
It is well for the people TO begin to
understand that each citizen is a
separate Santa Claus. who pays for
every "gift" presented to him BY his
