Head Hunters of New Guinea Are
Particular About Child Training
JEADHUNTERS of New Guinea,

II EADHUNTERS of New Guinea,
- going without clothing, yet
very particular about training. their
children in habits of cleanliness
and modesty, were the subject Of
study by DR.. John Whiting and S.
w. Reed, graduate students of Yale
university, who lived for seven
months among a small primitive
tribe of less than 400 persons in a
mountain range far up the Sepik
river.
Spankings and rewards are the
basis of child discipline among
these primitives, the Yale investi-
gators discovered, but early in life
the child learns to recognize a
word of praise or a scolding as an
effective substitute for physical
punishment or caress.
Food taboos and cleanliness are
taught early in childhood and these
morals" are almost never neg
lected in after life, they found.
Sexual and aggressive activities
are controlled primarily at adde's
cence and later, and the restric-
tons in these matters are never so
blnding-they are quite often
violated.
The tribe still hunt human heads
and Doctor Whiting participated
in spear dance which the natives
performed before setting out on a

raid against a neighboring tribe.
No male is accepted as being fully
adult and manly unless he has ac-
complished the feat of spearing an
enemy and bringing back his head
as a trophy. Doctor Whiting said.
The tribe live on the produce Of
their yam gardens, the boiled pith
of the sage palm, and the roasted
meat of the wild pig. Snakes and
lizards also form part of their
diet, and roasted white grubs are
considered delicacy. Doctor Whit
ing and Mr.. Reed found it difficult
to overcome their own food pref
udices when the grubs were served
them, but were surprised to find
that they were "indeed excellent"

Diamonds Remain
Precious Because
They're Battling

LONDON.-If diamonds could be
made by the local druggist or
baked in big blast furnaces, they
would be less precious to us than
they now are. in spite of their gilt.
tering rainbow flashing.
Like the ancients, whose passion
it was to make gold from basel
metals, modern scientists, who have
been able to make almost every
thing conceivable artificially, from
silk to peppermint, have striven to
make diamonds as well.
But after years Of experiment and
study, natures recipe for diamonds
is still as much of secret as ever.
Indeed, there are probably plenty
of diamonds in the world and no
need for artificial ones, but the best
diamond fields are owned by a very
few corporations which have no in
tention Of producing so many gems
that they become cheap. And 50
long as the tiny crystals obtained
by melting pure iron with sugar
charcoal in an electric furnace, and
then plunging the melted mass into
cold water, are not improved upon,
there Is little likelihood that din.

Although their history ID still .

diamonds are a form Of carbon. II

July Fourth May Be independence Day
But It's Also Famous for Other Reasons

HISTORY will cherish July
" Fourth as the day the United
States declared its independence
from Great Britain. But before
l776, and in subsequent years. a
notable list Of occasions has grown
around the date. For instance:
Poet Nathaniel Hawthorne was
born this day in 1904; Giuseppe
Caribaldi, the unifier Of Italy, was
born in 1907; George nj. Conan,
the actor, is 81 years old July
Fourth. Mary Hunt, organizer Of
the bureau of scientific temperance
investigation, was born this day in
1880, and the event is observed
annually by the W. C. T. U.
History also tells us that on July
4, 1894, the first automobile ever
built commercially made its trial
run at Kokomo, Ind. This was the
automobile of Elwood HAYNES,
built by Edgar L. Apperson of
Detroit. Other important July

ARTHUR WILLERT
 GUEST AT FORUM
on International Affairs Speaks Here
 Sunday Night

Sir Arthur Willert, distinguished diplomat, publicist and authority on international affairs will be the speaker at the forum of the Second Congregational church Sunday evening at 7:30 on the subject Europe 1939."
 Sir Arthur has been in intimate touch with public affairs in Eng land, Europe and the United States for the last 25 years and has had exceptional opportunities for first hand study of the chief figures as well as the chief problems of inter- national policies. After an appren- ticeship in the Paris and Berlin offices of the London Times, Sir Arthur went to Washington as as- sistant in the local bureau of that paper, and later worked on its edi- torial staff in London. In 1910 he was appointed at the age of 27 by Lord Northcliffe as chief correspon- dent of the London Times in the United States.
 This position he occupied from 1910 to 1920, except during 1917-1S when he served as secretary in Washington of the British war mis- sion to the United States and as Washington representative of the British empire in 1919 for his serv- ices in these positions. He is the author of Some Aspects of. British Foreign Policy" What Next in Europe?" and part-author of "The British Empire in the World He is a frequent contributor to newspa- pers and periodicals in the United States, England and Europe.

But those rickety buildings once formed the nucleus of what was to be a humming metropolis, built on the very top of diamond line which was to rival the African Kimberley fields for productivity. But like other ghost towns" of the gold and silver regions of the West, the Ozarks' Kimberley died. And industry which vas to have brought millions of dollars annual ly into Arkansas, has yieloed bare S1O0,0o0 in 30 years Of. sporadic operations.
 Diamond mines are rare. bulle- tin of the United States Geological Survey once described the Arkansas field as "the only diamond mine- on the North American continent
 The bulletin also explained the most generally accepted theory of the formation of the valuable stones of erystallized carbon. The Ar ln- sas field-the field proper-comprises an area of only about 60 acres. This araa, the bulletin said, is the mouth of a volcanic funnel" or outlet through which flaming lava once poured under terrific pressure from the depths of the arth. With 1t, the of lava brought masses of periodic tite soil. Mingled in this fine, sterile earth were glittering bits of carbon forced into specialization by the irl-' tense pressure existing miles below the earth's crust
 When Diamond John" Huddle- ston, Murphreesboro farmer found the first two Arkansas" diamonds. and they were of the highest qual- ity-equal to those of the renoWn- ed Kimberley mines of South Africa "a rush to the 60-acre plot was made and when it was over en- tire plot was cut up into small claims-the largest of these held by five separate corporations.
 For a time, operations went ahead cn a primitive scale, and several thousand dollars worth of diamonds were taken from the field. (The larg- est of these was . ctone of 0.23 carats. Another of 20.25 carats was picked up, and third huge dia- mond of 17.86 carats was found).
 Then, for some reason Jome sources say it was pressure from interests that wanted to prevent the Arkansas field from competing with Africa's Kimberley to force the price down-the mining operations slack ened and died.
 Managers of the five largest cor porations issued statements to the effect that the multitude of nall claims prevented efficient opera tions; because the loose periodic tite earth caved in as workmen washed away the surface of one claim, thus, laying the operator open to charges of encroaching upon his neighbor'J property. But. whatever the reason, the Arkansas diamond mines soon were forgotten by most And the humming little tent-city of Kimberley-named for the famous m.ning region of Africa-was desert- ed as men who had hoped to find wealth in the scintillating fire of diamonds went back to their farms and small businesses
 Sporadic attempts have been made in the past 10 years to re- open the mines. But for some req sen, the efforts always fail.
 And the dreams of an Ozark dia- mond empire fade again into the dreary aura which surrounds the ghost town of Kimberley.
