VOLUME 45 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.” Eighty Army Men Average 25 Years of Service Washington.- Eighty men of the Tenth cavaury and Twenty-fifth infan try, both colored,, who have given a total of more than 2.000 years of service to the army, lined up before Senator Ralph Cameron of Arizona recently at a review at Fort Huach uea, Ariz.

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.

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 awaitine bv the state. 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 vear and due to the general scarcity of live stock, so in spite of the shor crop this year, there will be amph to meet the demand Waynesboro, Ga., October 30, 1926. 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. Provide* $500,000,000 to Fight Animal Abuse .

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.

Canned milk topped the list, with eggs second, cheese third and butter fourth. The principal ex port market for these products proved clout for the blue overalls of honest labor. “Of course, that sort of thing could not be endured by the Mexican gov ernment. # Without discussing the rights and wrongs, the fact remained that the Yaqui stood in the path of progress. President Diaz at first tried to conciliate and then to defeat them, antf finally resorted to a policy of extermination. “A Yaqui scalp had a cash value over the counter. I have talked with a man who sat at breakfast with a Mexican general to whom was report ed the capture of 200 Yaqui braves.

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.

Complete Skull of ‘Missing Link* Found Batavia, Java. Professor Heberlein of the Netherlands government medical service has discovered at Trinil, in central Java, a complete skull of the prehistoric ape-like creature termed by some the “missing link,” and by science, pithe canthropus erectus. The skull was found at the same place where Prof. Eugene Dubois of Amsterdam univer sity discovered in 1892 the up per part of a skull, two teeth a*id a thigh bone, from which was reconstructed the previous ly unknown ape-like human des ignated as pithecanthropus erec tus. Professor Heberlein’s speci men, which is complete and sound, will be kept in Dutch East India, as the exportation of such relics Is prohibited. Doctor Dubois’ famous discov ery was made on the left bank of the Bengaw r an river, near Trinil. Much discussion fol lowed, with many authorities opposing Doctor Dubois’ theory. The creature was not held to bridge the entire gulf between man and the apu, but some scien tists argued that it constituted a further piece of evidence in. that direction. NUMBER 33
