VETS WARN AGAINST

Declare Repeal Would Be Endan

CHICAGO, March 25.-An appeal
today from leaders of four national
anti-prohibition societies.
Their statements said they were op-
posed to .'whoopee" parties on April 7,
the day beer becomes legal again, on
grounds of temperance and possible
III political effects.
Ralph M Shaw, chairman of the
Illinois division of the Association
Against the Prohibition Amendment,
said beer should be quaffed with
Thanksgiving and gratitude. with
solemnity rather than hilarity and
He said he even hoped the State
Legislature would pass law prohibit
ing the transportation of beer after IL
o'clock at night. Such a law would
halt trucks waiting at breweries the
night of April 6.
Mrs Leslie Wheeler and Mrs. Will
liam H. Mitchell, co-chairman of the
Illinois division of the Womens Or

form, declared that much harm could
be done to the cause of the repeal of
the eighteenth amendment il a few

MORAL HEAD TAKERS
OF FORMOSA LAUDED
National Geographic Lecturer Pic
lures Friendly and Honest"
Tribesmen.

Head hunters of Formosa are not
vicious head hunters, Capt. Carl Won
Hoffman, traveller and lecturer. told
members of the National Geographic
Society at the Washington Auditorium
last night.
Penetrating the mountain regions of
FormoSa which few visitors have been
permitted to enter by the japanese
military police, Capt. Won Hoffman dis
covered that despite the Formosans'
bloodthirsty reputation, they are friendly,
honest and highly moral.
Head taking is serious business
among the tribesmen, he said. They do
not practice their gruesome art merely
for pleasure or sport. If tribesman
must appease a displeased ancestor or
a wrathful god he must take head and
he believes the victim should feel
honored.
When harvest time approaches a
human head must be taken to celebrate;
when a trlbeSman comes of age the
usual tribal ceremony requires a human
head and when a young native couple
Is married, head is a necessary bit
OF matrimonial celebration parapher-
malta. Among some tribes, a tribes
mans manhood is not recognized until
he has taken at least one head. Then
his face is tattooed with his tribal marks.
If two natives are wooing the same
girl, the one who first brings head
to the village wins the girl. If two
men have dispute, the two fare forth
into the forest and the one who first
returns with head wins the dispute.
II a tribesman is accused of a wrong
full act he may dispel the accusation BY
taking head. The aborigines do not
attack fellow tribesmen, and the victims
are always killed by poisoned arrows
before they are decapitated.
