| ago. He was the younger brother ol
! a chief. they say. but after his mis-.
/ deed he was forced to leave his native
home. To prove their words. they
point out people on one Of the islands
| who are descended from the outcast!
| The fire, we are told, was being
kept up for the spirits. and the story
points to the age-old idea Of fire be-
ing holy. Before the coming of the
whites, Fijians made fire by rubbing
wood against wood, and it was rather
hard work. That was a reason for
wanting to keep fire burning after
1t was started, and in addition the
flames may have seemed magical to
these children of nature.
The chief Fiji god is known as
"Ndengei," and he is pictured as a
huge serpent He is supposed to have
created the earth, and to have made
the fire people. A native who believes
in the old religion might speak these
words to us:
"Ndengei dwells in mountain
cave When he moves there is
thunder. and when he turns over we
have an earthquake"
where did this serpent god come
from?" we ask the native.
He came from across the sea, In
the form of man, and there we're
others with him in feet of canoes
They settled on our islands with
Ndengei as their chief. Now he has
the form of a serpent, but he can
make himself look like a man If he
wants to do it,"
According to the Fiji faith. there
are spirits of the forests and spirits
of the waters. An old Fiji custom
Is to dance on the beach in honor of
the water spirits.
Worship Of the dead plays a big
part in Fiji religion. 1t is believed
that each person has a spirit which
will live after death and that this
spirit will do harm to its relatives
If they do not show it due honor.
Efforts to convert the natives to
the Christian faith have been largely
successful. An early missionary re-
ported that they were most willing
W give up LliCl UlQ 1diIu dILCl cullCi
ing from illness, accident, or some
other event which made them afraid
Another minister tells of the way
one native tried to place the serpent
god in the Christian faith.
"Ndengei," said the natice, "is an
other name for Satan. Once he
claimed to be as powerful as Jehovah
They had dispute as to which could
make men. Jehovah could make men
that moved, but Ndengei could not"

Dressy Afternoon Frock Of Figured Fabric
Ornate and Delicate Textile
for Summer Contributes
to Feminine Charm.
BY BARBARA BELL.

r VATS off to the new afternoon
frocks that show off to such
advantage the glorious Sum-
4 L mer materials that have been
brought in on the tidal
wave of feminine fashions. If you

least, with the ornate, yet delicate,
organzas, dotted swisses, point des-
prits. embroidered mousellines and
damboyant chiffons that have be-
come the favorite media for dressy
afternoon frocks.
The model shown in the illustra-
lion is a smart example of the type
that will be worn and enjoyed by
scores of experienced vacationists who
have learned the important lesson
about having the right dress for the
right occasion.
This frock shows the tendency of
the best houses toward achieving
style right effects with the fewest
possible seam-lines. Good designers
realize the art value of beautiful ma
terials and so work toward per-
fectly smooth handling of them. leav-
ing intricate seamings for plain. solid
fabrics, where that type of workman
ship can be appreciated
The charm of this dress lies in the
simple arrangements of the seam
lines, each one of which has been
studied with an understanding eye
and placed where it will least inter-
fere with the pattern interest in the
material. Cool chic Is assured in
the shaped cape that answers for
sleeves. Jewelled clips, chosen from
the Summer collections, are used at
the neck. They may be worn inter-
changeably with flower trimming.

around so as to swallow it head first
and started TO swallow. But he only
started That fish simply wouldn't t
be swallowed. No, sir, 1t wouldn't be
swallowed. You see, 1t was too broad
to 70 down Touslehead's throat. 1t
stuck. 1t just wouldn't go down. He
gulped and choked and gulped, but
that fish refused to go down. He
turned 1t around and tried to swallow
it tail first. This way he got it a
little farther down. but it stuck
again, partly because. of course. it
was still too broad, and partly be-
cause the back fih with its sharp
spines was raised and could not be
pressed down from this direction.
Meanwhile. his sister had flown
away in disgust to fish another pool
There she had good luck almost at
once. and. having caught and swal-
lowed a plump minnow. she returned
to find Touslehead still struggling to
swallow mis- prize. Rather, at that
particular moment he was struggling
to get rid of it. for it wouldn't 60
down nor would it come up. 1t was
fairly stuck in his throat. and he
was having a dreadful time. He
could neither swallow it nor get rid
of it. and he was not only dreadfully
uncomfortable, but he was frightened
as well. You see, he was in danger
Of choking to death.
Serves you right. you greedy
thing" said his sister, to which of
course Touslehead could make no
reply All he could do was to roll
his eyes pitifully and make little
choking sounds. He was In dread
full fix, was Touslehead, and all be-
cause of his greed.

what he learned. which. as you know.
is most important. But because ne
was smart he was inclined to have
a very good opinion of himself, and
he was selfish. Yes. sir, he was sell
fish. People with good opinion of
themselves are apt to be that way.
And, being selfish. he was greedy.
Selfshness and greed go together.
1t happened one morning that he
and one Of his sisters were sitting
just above a little pool. Touslehead
already had had good breakfast
and was not especially hungry. while
his sister had not had much success.
As they sat there perfectly still, two
little fishes appeared in the pool be-
meath them. One was considerably
bigger than the other. and it was
swimming on the side of the pool
nearest his sister. Rightfully it was
her fish to catch. But Touslehead
was selfish. and he was greedy. That
was a bigger fish than any he had
caught. and he wanted it.
THAT one is mine!' said he
sharply.
Before his sister could protest. he
cut across in front of her, hovered an
instant, and plunged. His aim was
true, for Touslehead was good fish,
erman, and a moment later he was
back in the tree with the fish.
Now, it happened that this was a
sunfish, or pumpkinseed, as it is
sometimes calledEa kind he never
had caught before. Instead of being
slim like a minnow or chub, it had
broad sides. so that, looked at from
one side, its shape was something like
a pumpkinseed, which Is why this
kind of a fish is so often called

KING GIVES VIEW
ON REFERENDUM
Senator Says He Does Not
See "Much Necessity"
for Law.

Chairman King Of the Senate Dis
trict Committee said today he does
not see much necessity for legisla-
ton to allow District residents to hold
advisory referenda on important pub
lie questions, but added that he has
not formed "a hard and fast opinion"
on the proposal.
Commenting on the referendum plan
which was put forward by Commis-
sioner Allen, Senator King said his
present view is that the District ''has
many fine citizens associations and
business organizations through which
the sentiment of local residents are
made known to the Commissioners. ?"
Commissioner Allen, who is having
a referendum bill drafted by the cor
poration counsel's Office, has not pro-
posed that the result of such votes be
legally binding on District officials,
but believed they would offer a means
by which the city heads could ascer-
tain the sentiment of the community
on important issues for the guidance
of the Commissioners in deciding on
their course of action.
Senator King probably will confer
with District officials before he leaves
again for the West. The Senator
made known Saturday that he is con-
sidering giving up the Craftsmanship
of the Senate District Committee in
the next Congress in order to have
more time for committees dealing
with national problems. He has not
decided definitely to resign from the
District Committee, however.

Eddy had only recently completed

Eddy came to Washington some half
a dozen years ago as master of cere-
monies at the Palace, where he
attracted large following during an
engagement that ran for more than a
year.
On one occasion this popularity led
him into court, when he caused a
Government clerk to be arraigned on
a charge of "shadoWing" him and
threatening to throw acid in his face.
The defendants only excuse was that

ances was responsible.

SECOND GAMBLER
IN SHOOTING DIES
Bryant Mcmahon Remains
Silent to Enid Man
Held, Another Sought.

Bryant Mcmahon, 80, reputed gam
bier and strong-arm man, died in
Emergency Hospital early today from
wounds received in the shooting affray
that previously had cost the life of
Sam Melincov, also a gambler.
To the last Mcmahon maintained
the stubborn silence which had baf-
fled police in their efforts to identify
the person or persons who fired the
fatal shots. A bullet which pierced
his abdomen caused his death, despite
an operation performed Saturday a
few hours after the shooting early
that morning in a Houston Hotel
room. He also was wounded in both
arms and leg.
One Man Is Held.
Meanwhile, police released all but
one of the four persons taken into
custody near the scene Of the crime.
the man being held is Thomas F.
Tobin, 33, of the 1000 block of Four
teenth street, who has been described
by Norfolk, Va, authorities as a gam
bier from that city.
Search still is in progress for Sam
Berlin, to whom the room where the
shooting occurred was registered, and
an unidentified man believed by police
to have been present when the guns
blazed.s
The motive for the shooting re-
manned mystery today, despite nu-
merous theories advanced by police
and others. All are agreed, however,
that it was dispute growing out of
the gambling racket which caused the
fight.
One theory was that McMahon,
Melincov and another man fought
over division Of profits. Police, how
ever, lean toward the belief the fight
was over distribution of the business
of furnishing information on race
horse results.
A recent raid by Federal agents
crippled the service of the ring which
had a monopoly in the Washington
field, police say, and another group
took over part of its territory.
Autopsy to Find Bullets.
Coroner A. Magruder Macdonald
announced he would perform an au-
topsy on McMahon's body this after
noon. At that time the bullets will
be removed so they may be examined
to determine from which gun they
were fired.
Ballistics tests already have deter
mined that the shots which killed
Melincov were fired from the gun
found hidden in a flower pot in
front of nearby building Whether
the leaden pellets which killed Nc
Mahon were fired from the gun found
in the corridor outside the hotel
room has not yet been decided because
physicians feared to remove the bull
lets from his body while he yet lived.
Tobin, the only man still held in
the investigation, was discovered
hiding in a woman's rest room near
the spot where the gun was found
in the flower pot.

Wesley Eddy Is Found Dead
AtParents' Craze, Gun Nearby
Never Recovered From
Deaths; Suicide Is
indicated.
Formerly Was Palace
Master of Ceremonies;
Also at Earle.

Wesley Eddy, one-tine theatrical
favorite here, was found shot to
death at the grave of his parents in
Stratford, Conn, yesterday under
circumstances indicating suicide. An
element of mystery entered into the
case, however, when the gun that was
used was discovered 40 yards from
the body.
According to the Associated Press,
police were told that Eddy, 81, whose
right name was Edward Gargiulo,
had never recovered from the death
of his mother and father, the former
in 1925 and the latter two years ago.
His personal fortune also was re-
ported to have shrunken.
Notes Indicate Suicide.
A farewell note to his brother,
Joseph, in Bridgeport, which was sent
special delivery, and another letter
for the brother, given to the care
taker of st. Michaels Cemetery,
where the actors body was found,
indicated his intention to commit
suicide. The former said:
please see that am buried right
away next to our dear mother"
The other read:
"Joe: Here's the balance-and the
receipt for the insurance-it's okay-
take care of yourself. Watch out for
everything. love you. EDDIE"
DR.. H. H. De Luca, acting medical
examiner, said one shot from .32-
caliber revolver pierced Eddy's brain.
The imprint of the weapon was in
his hand, where it had left small
rust mark, but it was only after
search that the revolver was found,
Dirt had been crammed in the barrel,
and hole in the ground nearby led
police to believe that some one, after
forcing the gun from the dead mans
hand had attempted to put it out
of sight.
Met Brother Saturday.
The last time Eddy was known to
have been seen was Saturday, when
he met his brother. At that time,
Joseph Gargiulo said, he was crying.
He had been in the habit of tele-
phoning weekly from New York to
have flowers placed on the graves of
