they were discovered in the community house

In spite of their degraded to us. life the
New Guinea people have standardization.
There is also evidence that they once stood
even higher in the scale of civilization. Colos-
sal stone statues of men and animals have
been found in their caves which the present
natives would be quite incapable of making
They have no idea how these statues came
into existence. Whether they were made bv
their far distant ancestors or by an entirely
different race of men is uncertain.
Man is indeed mystery.
In extenuation of the practices of these
natives it may be said that death is not a
serious matter to them. Hunger is apparently
much worse. They are astonishingly indif-
ferent to pain. man will allow a rat to
gnaw large hole in his foot and not notice
it until he stands up to walk away.
A sharp stick of wood thrust through a
mans nose indicates that he has taken a
head and entities him to great respect in the
community When he has captured more
heads he hangs a similar stick for each man
across his chest
In some parts Of the island the girls will

least one head-with the accompanying body
The sutton presents the girl with the dead
mans finger, which she wears smoke-dried

Travel in the New Guinea bush is made
dangerous not only by the head-hunters but
by the ferocious crocodiles. Many a head
hunter has been swallowed by a crocodile
while intently watching his human prey.

SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA, May ~
-YHE Japs certainly boomeranged on them
selves when they freed the New Guinea
natives from the restrictions on head
hunting and cannibalism forced on them by
the white man.
Many a Japanese head is now enriching
tribal treasures and private collections. and
many Jap has gone into the equivalent of
the cooking pot now that these savages have
been taught there is no reason why they
should not indulge in their old pastmes.
In fact, it was more than a uble-edged
sword or, If il is preferred a gigantic BOOM
erang that the Japs loosed on themselves.
This is because the New Guinea savage pre-
fers the Jap head to the whites because of it's
greater resemblance 10 the orang -utan-al-
ways the star of a collection.
Furthermore over centuries Of eating their
own kind the taste has gotten ingrained.
Or as one of the captured savages said:
"Ka-Kai yellow meat more better white
meat"
This being translated means: I'VE like
TO eat the yellow flesh Of Japs much better
than we do the meat of the white man"
Taste for the whites in the cooking pots or
roasts is apparently an acquired one. The
inherited appetite is for their own kind, and
except for stature and a few other outward
much like the "Kai-Kai" the cannibals have
enjoyed for ages. The Jap. by the way, is
by racial derivation largely Malay and the
Malayans were always very fine titbits on the
Papuan and New Guinea tables.
And one observer puts it, "One head is just
as good as another to them, and there are
more Jap heads within reach of their razor
edged knives"
This is also a little hard upon the Nazi
converts of the German missionaries who have
been and are leading the Japs through the
jungles The unconverted New Guineaite is
not impressed at all by their training and, in
fact, looks upon them as peculiarly delectable.
But the main reason the head-hunters
value the Japanese skulls so greatly is because
it is in form between the man and the orang-
utan. the skull Of which has great magical
properties In fact, German artists In past
times when Germany was fighting the Japan
csc have characterized them orang -utans
When dried and treated with white and
red paint-made from clay-the Japanese
skull raises head-hunter high in the opinion
Of his fellow -tribesmen. He can have the most
attractive girls in the tribe and attains a

Americans who suppose that crocodiies are
about the same alligators are making a
serious mistake both scientifically and as a
matter of practical life The crocodile is in
comparably fiercer. faster and speedier than
the alligator. 1t represents higher stage in
the scale of evolution.
In New Guinea the crocodiles reach a
length of from fifteen to twenty feet. With
their mud-colored bodies they look like trunks
of trees in the swamps and will snap a man
up quicker than wink Travel is also rend-
cred very dangerous by the abundance of
venomous snakes ten to twelve feet in length
The combination of venom with such great
size is believed to be found nowhere else
The sharks in the sea around New Guinea
are colossal. They reach a length of sixty
feet and are extremely ferocious
The customs of the natives with regard
to cannibalism and head-hunting vary greatly
in the different tribes. Every tribe for in
stance, has different way of preserving the
heads. Some polish the skull, while others
preserve it with the dried flesh on it and
paint it in a startling way.
In one tribe, cannibalism is practiced only
punishment for criminal The offender
is invited politely TO a tribal dance He
dances with the rest until unexpectedly a
moose is dropped over his head and he is
SldDDeu 10 men the criminal is
roasted whole. or his body is cut up raw and
divided among the men. Women are not al
lowed to eat this meat.
Natives who possess no heads make imta-
ton ones from painted coconuts They are
despised by the stronger members of the
tribe.
The abundance of pigs along the coast has
tended to check cannibalism and to make Il
easier for the English, Australian and Amer
lean missionaries to reform the habits of
the natives. Many of them now prefer pig
to human meat The great Captain Cook
has been given credit for being the man
who first introduced pigs into the South Sea
Islands. They have been the means of saving
thousands Of human lives as well as furnish
ing nourishment 10 the natives,
Contrary to the old custom of despising
women, some natives have found them accept
able food One chief said he considered a
woman as good pig He informed an ex-
plorer that he would like white woman as
a companion or to be used as pig on some
great festive occasion
The New Guinea natives are highly inter.

America, the arsenal of democ-
racy, beat its plowshares into Weap-
ons Monday on its first wartime
labor day in "A years.
Workers in vital war production
plants maintained full schedules
in turning out the machines to
fight the Axis and, in many cases,
donated their earnings to buy war
bonds.
A total of $50 naval ships and l6

Lakes. The ships included an un-
specified number of deStroyerS, sub

Only white collar workers, clerks
and state and municipal employees
and workers in plants ahead OF
schedules or hampered by raw ma

the customary American manner.

to listen to one of the many address

Labor Has Made
Attack Possible,
Green Tells Men
Paul V. McNutt Declares
All Men Will Be Doing
Part i'm War Effort Soon

OMAHA, Neb., Sept. 7.
(UP) = President William
Green of the American Fed
eration of Labor said today
that American | a bor has
made possible the opening of a Sec
ond front in Euro and that the
time it will be opened is something
for only Hitler to worry about.
Green spoke to thousands of
workers assembled for Labor day
celebration, sharing the platform
with Paul v. McNutt, federal secur-
ity administrator and chairman of
the war manpower commission.
Green declared that Hitler made
two fundamental mistakes despite
all his careful planning for world
domination.
Hitler assumed that human be-
ingS could be terrorized by force
into accepting slavery" Green said.
And, he took it for granted that
slave labor, driven under the whip,
could out-produce free labor.
The workers of America have
diSproved that assumption.
In the few short months since
Pearl Harbor, these production SOL
diers have built up the most re-
markable production record ever
accomplished anywhere in the world.
Il do not believe that we in
America need worry about when
and where q second front is to be
established in Europe. I think We
can let Hitler worry about that.
From here on we are going to choose
the new battlefields and start the
new offensives."
McNutt hinted broadly that soon
every able bodied man will be called
upon to do the thing for which he
is best fitted, regardless of depend
entS or other considerations.
How soon the call will come
depends on many things, such as
raw materials and needs and size OF
the arm"" McNutt said.
We are telling employers in nom
essential and less essential lines to
replace men of military age when
ever possible.
TO escape the draft one must be
an essential man in an essential
industry.
