Gods fly switch. Lu escaped and
ran down to the earth and named
it Samoa. -. r.. -s .~os
The Samoans might be termed
worshipers of everything that is
beautiful. Their songs and legends
are of the beauty of the sun, the
moon, the heavens, the land and
the flowers. They also sing of the
beauty of their women and the
strength and prowess of their
men. This was a land of love,
peace and contentment prior to the
first visit of the European.
History records that the first
European to visit American Sa-
moa was Jacob Roggeveen, a
Dutchman, on his first voyage
around the world via Cape Horn.
This was in 1721-22. The second
visit here was by Bougainville, a
French navigator, after whom the
flower Bougainvilla was named,
this vine being a native plant of
Samoa. The next visitor was an
other Frenchman named Lapre-
ouse in 1887. During the latters'
stay he punished a native for at
tempting to steal bolt. There is
still some question as to what the
punishment was, but descendants
of Samoans who witnessed it
state that the native was hanged
by his thumbs aboard ship. The
other natives who witnessed this
were greatly incensed and immed-
lately put to shore and advised
their friends. The result was that
a French party on shore seeking
water were attacked, eleven being
killed and over forty wounded.
Lapreouse made a report of this
affair and for long time no more
ships called at American Samoa
The Samoans were lucky in this
respect as We find in quoting from
Samoa under the Sailing Gods y
by N. A. Rowe. "The Samoans are

treatment. Treatment of the can
kers of throat and mouth should
be watched closely. With an old
fashioned wire hair pin, the
cheesy material should be cleaned
out and the disease area treated
with tincture of iodine. 1t may be
necessary to repeat this treatment
two or three times.
Since there is considerable fowl
pox at least in the lower part of
the county We feel that poultry
men at all near anyone having the
diseased birds should make ar
engagements for vaccination of the
young flock another year at about
the time the birds are 10 to IL
weeks of age. The losses from the
disease even though it may be not
more than the loss in weight or
loss in egg production are too Sc

| to the cost of vaccination. We
strongly recommend. vaccination
for those planning on carrying
poultry or turkeys another year.
In case but a few birds have the
disease it may be we'll to 4vaccin-
ate the balance of the flock even
this late in the season. If interest
ed the matter should be taken up
with the county agent or with a
qualified veterinarian. The disease
is highly contagious and the same
attendant taking care of disease
and an undiseased flock or even
with English Sparrows as preva-
lent as they are in this county is
almost impossible to prevent the
disease from going through the
entire flock on the farm.
Prevention is by far the more
satisfactory method and VAGINA

one of. the major problems of the
Health Department. In the past
five-year period the Medical De-
partment has been able to show a
decided advancement in treatment.
From 1900 treatments in 1927 for
this disease it has increased to
10000 treatments for the present
year not yet finished. This is a
measure of the effectiveness of
the intensive drive against this
disease, the neglect, the barbarous
methods of native treatment and
witchcraft. The public health Off

FOWL PoX

A number of reports are coming
to the office of the county agent
in regard to trouble with both the
poultry and turkey flocks. A
checkup on these indicates that in
a good many of instances the
trouble is undoubtedly fowl pox.
Some of the reports indicate rath-
er light attacks and others Sc
we're form of the disease.
Fowl pox may show by three
different symptoms, each indie
pendent of each other, or any two
or three combined in one bird. The
more common symptom probably
is that of the raised scab areas on
the comb, face or wattles of the
bird. These may be few in number
or may cover the large part of
these parts of the birds. The Sec
ond symptom which is most ap-
parent is the swollen eye, due to
severe sinus infection. The third
symptom is cankers in the mouth
and throat, these usually being
covered by cheesy substance and
they may entirely close the throat
of the bird causing death. This
symptom is a good deal like diph-
iberia in the human family.
Control measures should be con-
cerned with only the latter two
symptoms aside from the general
care of the flock effected. General
care should consist of keeping the
birds dry, well housed, free from
drafts and yet good ventilation and
well fed. Specific treatment for
the swollen eye should consist of
cleaning of the nasal passage and
the use of argarol or iodine as a

(By Leslie Williams)

In writing of American Samoa it
is necessary to at first refer to
what is termed the Polynesian
group of Islands.
A theory that is widely held
among scientiest is that import
ant land masses and large popula-
tions have in ages long past dis
appeared in the Pacific Ocean as
the result of volcanic action: It
is further believed that these cata-
clysms have engulfed whole civil
izations-that empires have sunk
into the sea and have left scarcely
a trace. -.
The Island now known as the Sa-
moan group, are prabably COM
posed of the higher peaks of these
vanished continents, Or else are of
later volcanic origin. Very little is
known that would indicate that
there was race prior to the pres
ent native Polynesian, although
their size, hair, eyes and language
point to the probability that they
migrated from China and in pass
ing through India and various is
lands enroute to Samoa they inter-
married with the races they met.
1t is clear, however, that they have
long resided here as their legends
do not mention migration from the
other islands or lands. To them
Samoa is the earth. One of their
legends states that the great god
Tagaloa, who dwelled in space and
made heavens, and of whom it is
not known how or whence he came
had a grandson called Lu. On one
occasion Tagaloa being annoyed
with the boy seized him and beat
him with the handle of the great

CHICAGO, Dec. 2s.-Huge profits
have ben wr,lng out Of workers and
farmers by the dominant meat trusts
through the N. r. A., exposures here
show following sharp verbal passages
between the leading meat packers
and Speaker of the House Rainey.
Replying to charges that they
we're not living up to the N. r. A.,
the packers replied: We are oper-
ating 100 per cent under the MIRA
Their huge increase in profits are
startling examples Of how the N. r.
A. has been able to boost profits at
the expense of both farmers and
workers.
When the hog processing tax was
passed, the packers declared: I'VE
are not in business just for fun
They lowered the price of hogs paid
to the farmers, passing on part OF
the tax to them. Then they raised
the price of meat, passing another
portion of the tax to the workers.
Through higher prices, lower wages
and greater speed-up they have
raised their profits in some instances
from a deficit of 100000 to net
profit of $1o,000,000.
How the N. r. A. has resulted In

By CARL REEVE

NEW YORK.-The original
Civil Works Administration
law, decreed by the speeches
of President Roosevelt and
Relief Director Hopkins, have
been amended without publicity
and changed in series of Rules and
Regulations" issued by the national
C.WA. through the state admins
trations, and which have not been
made public. These new rulings, some
Of which worsen the working condi-
tons ard wages, go into effect as
soon as the bulletins are issued. The
C.WA. workers, thus do not know
ur'e whot rules they are working.
Eleven such Rules and Regula-
TONS" which interpret changes and
amend the original law, have so far
been issued by the New York state
C.WA.
Amends C.W.A. Rules
The Daily Worker, however, Is in
possession of the two most important
of these bulletins, No. 10 and No. 5,
and has seen all of them. Bulletin NO.
10 is accompanied by an instruction
from Alfred H. Schoellkoff, chairman
Of the New York state C.W.A., which
says:

Exceptions to 80 Hour Week
This bulletin makes exceptions to
the thirty hour week, which Roose-
welt announced would prevail. The
series of exceptions tend to nu,lify the
80 hour week rule in the original law.
The exceptions include, ITO permit the
limitation of not more than 1870 hours
work in any one calendar month to
be substituted for the requirement of
not more than 80 hours in any one
week on projects in localities where O
sufficient amount of labor is not
available in the immediate vicinity of
the work to permit up to hours
a day or up to forty hours week on
projects located at points SO remote
and inaccessible that camps or float
ing plants are necessary for all the
labor employed and to permit clerical
employees to work SO hours a week"
