AMERICAN SUITORS
IDEAL OF SiAMESE
Get Impressions From Movies,
Says Princess*
p ()Ston The romantic ideal of the
( , r; , Siamese girl is an American
swacUirart She has gained her
, f (HV | t of American men chiefly
IYo the movies, and the few travel*
t rs and traders to the Malay penin
ula 0 f which the kingdom of Siam is
a part.
Tin- authority for this is the prin
Mahidoil Songkla” in Boston while
j, e ‘ r i lU si, ad is studying medicine at
the Harvard Medical school, but in
Slam sht' is a princess royal. Her
husband is the brother of the present
kiiw, and if ids brother next in suc
i ps S iou to the throne dies, “Mrs.
Soiutkla," who does her own # house
work in Boston, -will be the nexc
queen of Slain.
But she doesn’t want to be a queen,
she remarked in an interview at her
suite at Hotel Lincolnshire, where
is a.ring with her husband and
two children until her housekeeping
apartii. nt is ready for her occupancy
the first of the month.
“Being a king would interfere with
mv husband’s profession. He is
study into he a doctor and a king
wouldn’t make a good doctor. Oh, no,
lie mu 4 never be king, oh, n-e-v-sir.’
the little Siamese princess spoke her
last “never” with emphasis.
“We traveled all over Europe and
we never told anyone who we were.
It’s too much bother. No, I do not
care to meet European royalty.”
She was asked about the native cos
tume in Siam. Did the women wear,
much jewelry for adornment?
“Well, all women like to look nice.
The Siamese girls like beads,” she
touched the string of pearls on her
neck. “But In Bangkok, the Siamese
women see American jewelry and they
like that best. It is so hot there
American clothes are impossible.
When In Siam I never wear these
clothes,’’ and she Indicated her cos
tume with a broad sweep of her
hands.
“I wear just a little skirt, nothing
more than a big scarf pinned around
my waist, which reached to my an
kles, and a little *top vest. That is
all; no, no underwear. None of the
Siamese women wear any more.
“The silks .are very beautiful, and
although the dress wouldn’t look well
here, it is the only costume for Siam.
Sport clothes, you know, do not look
well in a gold-and-rose ballroom. Per
fumes, oh, yes, the Siamese girls like
them, but because of the heat, rouge
and powder are not popular there.
The country people do not know
about such things.”

Contracts to Be Let for
Modernizing Sing Sing
Albany, N. Y. —New York state’s
century-old penal institution is to be
modernized after 20 years, of more or
less Intermittent effort on the part
of the government.
Sullivan W. Jones, state architect,
announced that contracts will be
awarded in December for completion
of the new Sing Sing prison.
State Architect .Tones described the
proposed new Sing Sing improve
ments, which are to be financed from
the $100,000,000 bond issue and which
are designed to replace the old prison
with a modern sanitary penal institu
tion. Tn part he said:
“The buildings for which contracts
will be let in December are two ceil
blocks, providing 1,032 cells, an as
sembly hall which serves also as a
chapel, and on administration build
ing. Each cell will be equipped with
a toilet, a lavatory and will be ven
tilated. Tn the existing new build ngs
and those to be built there will be
a total of 1,400 cells.
“As soon as the new buildings are
completed the old cell block will he
demolished and the remaining build
ings in the old prison will be convert
ed for industrial purposes.
“The assembly hall has been de
signed to seat 1,200.
“The entire group of new buildings
is surrounded by a 24-foot reinforced
concrete wall. The new wall is
equipped with guard houses at ad
vantageous points and will be fitted
with flood limiting. In the event of
an alarm being given the entire prison
yard may be' flooded with brilliant
light, leaving no place in darkness
where prisoners might hide.”

me TRUE CITIZEN
PLANS NATIONWIDE
STATE PARK CHAIN
Conference Seeks a Way to
Carry Out New Law.
Washington.—A chain of state parks
to supplement the national parks is
the aim of the national conference on
state parks of which John Barton
Payne Is president.
Such a system of public playgrounds
Is made possible under a recent act
of congress permitting the states to
acquire unreserved public lands for
this purpose.
A survey made by the conference
shows that nineteen states have such
lands, the aggregate ’acreage being
185,000,000, lying mainly west of the
Mississippi river. Land Is available,
however, for parks In three southern
states, Alabama, Florida and Louisi
ana.
The Joint committee on recreational
survey of federal lands has made a
study of specific tracts which possess
features of value for local purposes.
It has picked out thus far eighty-eight
units containing 2,500,000 acres, of
which thir.ty-nine units, embracing
1,590,000 acres, have been withdrawn
from other disposal by the general
Land office pending action by the states
concerned under the new law.
Many recreational units have been
reported and officials of the national
conference declare that in Utah par
ticularly there Is beautiful, almost
magnificent, scenery in public domain.
One suggestion advanced Is that
state parks be established on the
sites of the proposed Wonderland Na
tional park In South Dakota and tlie
proposed Roosevelt National park in
North Dakota. Congress lias refused
repeatedly to appro c bills creating
these additional national paries.
Officials of the national conference
assert that * these could easily be
made state parks, comparable to the
Custer state park in South Dakota,
to the Palisades Interstate, the Adi
rondack and Catskill state paries in
New York and tn the Redwood state
parks in California.
The public land office has with
drawn a number of areas In Utah
from public entry pending action by
the state, while in Nevada the go's
ernor has had eleven areas with
drawn. In Alabama a tract in Little
May's gulf, which is very scenic and
has gone practically unnoticed for a
number of years, has been withdrawn

year, and it is expected that the yield
will be around 27.5 bushels per acre.
Like corn, most of the oats is con
sumed by live stock. Very little of
it is sold and not more than 2 per
cent of the crop Is exported, as a rule
Since the demand as a horse feed has
declined, a larger percentage is being
consumed by hogs and cattle. The
carry-over from the 1925 crop was
large because of the bumper crop las

AMERICAN GIRL BAGS
BIG GAME IN ARCTIC
Tramps Frozen North After
Polar Bears.
London.--Experienced polar hunt
ers doff their hats to Miss Louise A.
Boyd of San Rafael, Calif., who has
returned to London after a six weeks’
trip into the Arctic.
To Miss Boyd belongs the distinc
tion of having been the first white
woman to set foot upon desolate
Franz Josef Land, to which she made
thA voyage on Roald Amundsen’s old
supply ship Hobby. With Miss Boyd
were Miss Janet Coleman of San
Francisco and Count and Countess
Rivadavia, friends of King Alfonso
XIII of Spain.
From the 80th degree northern lati
tude Miss Boyd returned with the
pelts of 29 polar bears, 6 of which
she shot in one day. This, it is con
sidered, is enough to turn envious
any Arctic hunter.
Slim, in Short Dress.
There w*as nothing Id the appear
ance of the slim American girl, clad
in modish knee-length dress of black
georgette, to suggest tussles with
Arctic beasts, as she sat in the draw
ing room of a West End hotel, tell
ing to the Associated Press a story
of Arctic exploits which would do
credit to any male big-game hunter.
Miss Boyd chartered the Hobby to
carry her game-shooting party of four
into the Ice fields beyond Spitzbergen.
The Hobby sailed from Tromsoe,
July 29.
Fogs, ice and storms alternated un
til August 15, when land was first
sighted. It was Bell Island, one of
the Franz Josef group. With precau
tion, the Hobby nosed her way
through leads in the Ice in Nightin
gale sound by Cape Crowther until
at 80 degrees 26 minutes the vessel
was forced by an Arctic Ice barrier
to turn back.
The Hobby then skirted Prince
George’s land and the party made a
landing at Cape Flora, where a large
stone marked the sojourn of an earlier
Italian geodetic survey expedition.
“The islands here,” said Miss Boyd,
“with their dome-shaped glacier-cov
ered mountains were in remarkable
contrast to Spitzbergen’s jagged
peaks. But even here the brief Arc
tic summer brings forth vegetation.
In sheltered spots there was plenty
of white and yellow flowers and the
islands were positively alive with
gulls. There was no sign of any oth
er life. Nothing remained of the
huts erected thirty years ago by the
Jackson-Harmsworth expedition.
“Our intention to reach eastern
Spitzbergen by way of the Eyches is
lands was frustrated by moving hum
mocky ice fields. Our best shooting
was between the 78th and 79th de
grees. There I got eleven out of a
total * of twenty-nine bears. Count
Rivadavia shot a giant, weighing more
than 1,000 pounds. Mine only aver
aged 800 pounds.”
Kills infuriated Beast.
Miss Boyd told modestly of her
achievement In killing an infuriated
bear at a range of forty yards.
“It was a lucky shot In the throat,”
she said, “but I had a narrow escape.
Bears move at an Incredibly fast pace
once they are charging over the ice,
and the great thing for a person to do
is to keep cool.”
The party captured five cubs alive.
Three of them are about eighteen
months old and two six months old.
Of the best of these Count Rivadavia
will present one to King Alfonso. The
others will be handed over to the Nor
wegian representative of a continental
menagerie.
Miss Boyd said her only disappoint
ment during the trip was the entire
absence of the walrus, which the
party had hoped to hunt.
The women of the party wore high
boots, breeches, sweaters and heavy
coats and fur caps with ear flaps as
a protection against frostbite. The
temperature, however, did not fall be
loy 11 degrees of frost, E'ahrenheit.
For days the ship was encased in a
two-inch coating of ice. The worst part
of the trip came after a fruitless at
tempt to land on Hope island, a lone
ly rock southeast of Spitzbergen.
Miss Boyd took 21,000 feet of film,
beside 700 photographs of Arctic
scenery.

YAQUI, BORN FIGHTER,
ALWAYS ON WARPATH
Indians of Mexico Gradual

Washington.—The Yaqui Indians of
southern Sonora, Mexico, again on the
war path, and the fertile country in
which they have torn up railway
tracks In the last few days are de
scribed In the following com<.mulct;-
tion to .the National Geographic so
ciety from Herbert Corey, who recent
ly visited the region.
“Guaymas is on the edge of the
Yaqui country,” writes Mr. Corey.
“We had been conscious of the Yaqui
all the way South, of course, for iu
Sonora he fforms the backgro aid to
every conversation; but it was here
that he stepped into the foreground.
“When tilings g<\ wrong i:; Yaqui

It is not so very long ago that no
one dared walk out of Hie dangerous

railroad bridges anu held up railroad
trains and murdered passengers.
One-Sixth Original Sire* w th.
“At one time the Yaquis may have
numbered 30,009 souls; no v there
may be 5,009 in all. Their home was
in the fertile valleys of the Yaqui and
Mayo rivers, with the hills behind as
hunting grounds. They were as tire
less on the trail as ihe Apaches or the
Navajos, and, despite three hundred
years of contact with a more or less
diluted civilization, are today about
what they were when the first Span
iard came to Sonora.
“They live in shacks made of brush,
prefer the meat of burros to beef, and
preserve .jealously the purity of the
Yaqui blood. They are religlops aft
er their own fashion, mingling the
rites of the Catholic . church with
those of their own barbaric faith.
“Most Americans who, know the
Yaqui say that if he hacf been let
alone lie would have let the white
men alone. But he,owned fertile val
leys and mine-rich mountains. The
history of our own West teems, with
analogous cases. The miners and the
farmers established themselves in his
territory, and the Yaqui declared war.
The technical honors seem to' have
gone to the Yaqui.
“It is true that at one time mines
were opened everywhere in bis moun

Dairy products and eggs valued at

KEEPER OF BUOYS
MUST BE WATCHFUL
Veteran of Thirty-Five Years
Tells of His Job.
Woods Hole, Mass. —Just as the old
woman riding the broom had to sweep
the cobwebs from the heavens and
light the stars each night, so the
keeper of buoys must sweep clean the
waters, marking the bad spots with
spars and buoys, Lome of which he
must light up at night
"Thirty-five years, winter and sum
mer, I've been at this Job," says A. D.
Wilde, head of the department of
buoys for the coast from the tip of
Cape Cod to the boundary of Rhode
Island. “Three hundred buoys are In
my care in Buzzards bay and Vine
yard sound.
“They have to be watched. The
bell buoys must be kept free of rust,
far enough out of the water for the
gentle roll of the tide to sound their
iron bell. The whistling buoys must
have their windpipes clear, the valves
strong, so that the same fall and rise
of the waves will draw air into their
throats. The light buoys must be
kept supplied with the fuel.
“And everyone of the 300 must be
hauled out of the water and ashore
once a year, to be scraped and cleaned
and painted up and put back fresh.
That’s the work of my tender, the
Anemone.
“The ‘garden’ of the keeper of the
buoy blooms with these strange flow
ers of the sea. Tliere t are prim ‘nun’
buoys, black conical-shaped forms like
the headdress of a medieval sister
of charity. The old-fashioned favor
ites, the can buoys and their rigid
brothers, the spar buoys. All sink
into useless stolidity at night, or In
a fog.”
The bell buoys are massive, with
their pyramidial frames, ten or twelve
feet high, supporting a heavy iron bell.
It takes a 9,000-pound mooring to
hold them to the shoal they warn of,
day and night, fog or clear.
The light buoys are of the same
type, but newer style. Their lights,
in cases of the latest products, are
made to burn from a supply of pitch
gas in cans, lasting six to eight
months. They burn steadily.
