Tears stood in his wife's eyes.

luck in everything.
That, incidentally, is firm be-
lief of Vail Dyaks an Albino in

As our inland trip with its
many odd experiences and its few
lazy days when nothing exciting
happened was nearing its end

But if he was sick. why didn't
he go to the doctors at the hos
pital?" the Rajah asked. Il have
told all my people to do that,
you know"
"Oh but his soul had gone
away" the simple natives replied.
"Only a Manag could recapture
his soul and put it back into his
body"
English doctors know nothing
about catching wandering souls,
the old mans son spoke up,
But in this case apparently the
Manang hadn't known either.
First he placed a small cup, care
fully wrapped in white cloth,
in the midst of many offerings

from friends and relatives. Then
he stalked mysteriously about,
carrying a lighted torch in one
hand and tinkling small bell
with the other.
Look into the cup" he sud-
denly demanded of one Of the
waiting relatives. What do you
see there ?"
The relative looked,
IL see the returned soul" he
said.
There in the cup was a bit of
wadded-Hp hair. This, the Man
- ang GAINED was what he had
been coaXing with his bell and
torch. Now he took 1t from the
cup and with strange incanta-
tons thrust it into an invisible
hole" in the old mans skull, hop
ing it would stay.
Next day he took small fowl
and placed it in large Pinang
blossom, which is shaped like a
boat. He covered the bird with
a red cloth. carried it into the
Jungle and set it loose on the
waters of a nearby stream. All
this was done TO an acCompani-
ment of beating drums and gongs
and was supposed TO be as eff
fcctive as any dose Of modern
medicine
Then everyone returned to the
sick mans bedside, there to await
the outcome.
Next day the chicken was back
again. This was a bad omen in
-ricrd- ana the Old man died Had
the chicken gone on its way the
natives believe the man would
have lived
The Rajah and I were in time
for the funeral. l had not wit
messed one of these Dyak cere-
monies for a long time.
When we arrived at the Long
House the corpse was propped
up in a sitting position, dressed
in his finest war coat, a cigarette
in his mouth and a brass box
containing Betel-nut at his side.

warrior as he grew up.
That particular child at whose
birth the Rajah Muda officiated
probably became great head
hunter.
And now. so many years later
as the Raiah and sat in the
Long House OF the young Dyak
couple we were visiting they told
us the many rituals they too had
carried out before their child was
born, rituals which should have
endowed II with "A perfect body.
Two pricstcsses came 10 our
house" the girl-wife said proudly.
For two nights they sing loudly
making our house a good home
for "a child.
Then they went away.
"Anggat and l." she still
called him by the pet name which
means little boy, knew there
were many things we must not 90
now"
THE restrictions on an expec-
] tant Dyak mother and father
are countless.
Neither Of them must use any
sharp instrument during that
time. No vines or branches over
hanging a stream could be cut
away. regardless of how annoy
ing they were. Cutting them
brought the danger that the
young mother would die Of a
hemorrhagC. No bitches could be
dug. No cloth cut for making
garments.
Nothing could be tied with a
string.
No baskets could be braided.
nor mats made. II house or boat
needed repairing that was just
too bad because it was not per-
mitted for either OF the young
couple TO drive a single nail.
Evil might result if either of
the parents ate anything while
walking and the mother was not
permitted 10 partake Of food
when she was protected by mos

that the child would be still-born
The young husband was very
sad because he believed he was
to blame for the crippled child

said. He howled most terribly

on the straight road. That alone
is the road that leads souls TO
Sabian"
But the dead old man really
didn't need such instructions
not if he believed as most Dyaks
do, that Balu Adad, a beautiful
female spirit meets the departed
souls of m en- and personally
guides them 10 the next world.
After the instructions the
corpse was rolled into large
white cloth and some fine mats;
these were supported by bamboo
and bound with rattan. All the
while the women of the house
hold carried on with loud and
melancholy lamenting.
A followed out tree trunk was
the coffin.
No women were allowed in the
graveyard which was strewn
with the bones of many ancestors
because graves are dug with the
hands and very shallow, and wild
animals maraud the places at
night.
After the burial we all gath
cred at the bank of the river
There a frail canoe was filled
with all the most important be-
longings of the dead man.
His Soul-Boat is well loaded,
he will be pleased when it
reac hes the sea-" said one
thoughtful looking old Dyak.
The Rajah and felt very
solemn as we watched this cere-
mony. Without anyone TO guide
it. this lonely little craft would
drift many miles out to sea.
There, the natives firmly be-
lieved, the spirit of tho dead man
would appear to claim these pos
sessions and take them on his
final flight into the land Of the
Unknown.
AS we went on TO Kuhing we
thought how little a century Of
white leadership had changed the
beliefs of the jungle people of
Sarawak.
II has done away with slavery
and piracy. The Dyaks no longer
eat one another and they do not
take so many heads as they once
did.
NONE Of the Rajahs have really
~ believed it necessary to stamp
out the simple spirit worship and
other harmless primitive ways.
AS watch now and see the
horrors Of civilization" APP
preaching our doorstep, l think
even cannibalism, piracy a II d
slavery were no worse than
the denominations of war that
threaten. Yet I hope that some
how Sarawak may be spared.
There probably will never be
another supreme White Rajah
after my husband. The nephew
who will inherit the throne, be-
cause we have no sons, will in
herit it in name bat it will be

Account Reveals
Paris Disorders

ZURICH, Switzerland, Jan. 8.
(UP)-A belated but apparently re-
liable account of disorders in Paris
last Armistice day revealed today
that German troops employed sub
machine guns to quell demonstrate
ors, British Sky-writing airplaneS
flew over the city, and German
authorities withdrew Paris meat
ratiOns for two days.
A detailed account of the Paris
demonstrations and information on
other manifestations of tension be-
tween the French and the Germans
has been received by the United
Press.
According to the report, the Ar
mistice day disorders in Paris were
far more widespread and serious
than previously admitted in reports
either from Vichy or Berlin.
At the height Of the demontra-
tions, it was said, two Royal all
force planes appeared over the city
and wrote in huge smoke letters
the words: courage confidence.
/ The letters hung for half an hour
IN the clear blue sky, it was said
