Head Shrinkers Along the Maranon River (as the upper Amazon is called) in Peru, is the Zaruma and Jivaro country, both tribes being head- 'hunters, who perform the head shrinking in a highly different manner. To the south side of the river along this portion there are anthropophagi (cannibals) and savages. On up above, how- ever, up to the very source, one strikes milder aborigines in pro- gressive stages of tameness until the conquered and spiritless Quechuans are reached in the high Andes. The head hunters use bows, spears of chonta palm and poisoned arrow. blowguns. The poisoned. 'arrows are used for" stunning *game or killing it. as the poison does not make it unfit to eat. Most of the heads they take as trophies are cut tram enemies killed'in raids. The cannibals south of the river eat their enemies taken captive in battle. • Obey the traffic signs — they are placed there for YOUR SAFETY p YOU NAME IT—We'll bet that, name or no na me, it'll never get off the ground.

Rare Old Voh.n Tells How To Swim So you think you know how to swim. But can yo u, for instance, "turn in the water like a roach," "swimine with hands and teeth upward," or execute a "bell turne?" Have you tested your abilty "to strike the superficies of the water" lately? And how about maneuver:; such as "to swimme with the hands together" or "to make a circle in the water with the feete?" Swimmers everywhere and oven a few non-swimmers—will be interested to know that Yale University has just added to Ili library shelves a book crammed with instructions in all these 'and still other watery skills. The book is not for sale, though. Only one other copy is, known to exist.' Yale officials say it is the oldest English-language book on .the art of swimming yet to be 'discovered. It .was printed in 1595, bearing . the title: "A ' Short Introduction for to Learne to Swimme.". Despite its age, the book de- scribes a few tricks swimmers of today might find wondrously new. Perhaps you would like to amaze your friends with this one, for example: "There is also a turning which is called the bell turne, as when one swimming on his bellie shah suddainely pull in his feete, and in stead of striking with them as is aforesayd, he shall heaving backward with his foreparts strike forward with his feete, which motion will turn him upon his backe, and because' he. may at his pleasure turne to upon his backe and belly as bee will, it ie• called the bell turne, resembling also a bell when it is ringing. , . ." If that's confusing, you can al- ways consult t h e. illustrations. The book contains 43 full-page woodcuts showing a swimmer in the various positions describ- ed in the text. Another alternative is to con- sult the original of the Work, written by one Master Everard, Digbie& in Latin. The 1595 Enge lish, version — the one Yale has — reveals that the material was "gathered. out of Master Dig-, biea Booke .of the Art. of Swine.; initig. And translated into Eng- lish for the better instruction of those who understand not the Latin tongue." (The translator was' Christofer Middleton.) The Latin original is slightly ' more available than the transla- tions. Five copies of 'the Latin are on record, only two of the English. Actually, Yale has "the only - existiag "complete" copy of the English vi e r s a. o n, The "other known copy — saleis ensconced, at the Bodleian Library of Ox- ' ford taiversity in Erigiancl'eee it imperfect.

Chris'- bail Science Monitor. How did Yale cone by the' hook? through the affectionate remembrance of a former: aget. of the varsity swat:argils Waal who found St way to pay tribute to his old coach. John M. Schiff of New York City, Yale class Of 1925, donated the volume its honor of Robert J. It iphilithr the tile renowned Sw122tming mentor--: • The hook has /baby delights:, 'Ka find of theta are likely to be practical to Kinhuth, whose teams have been undefeated in dual meet competition slow :945 and whose fabulous record includes several national cham- pionships. Coach Kiphuth will probably never use this passage to in. struct one of his backstrokers: "When one lying upon his hack with his 'body stretched toorth, and holding up his breast as much as hee can, that his back may lie hollow, which will keep him from slacking, and lifting easily one foote after an- other above the water, and so drawing them forceable towards him under the water, they will pul his body backwards, as in this example is spewed." (Illus- tration follows.) Strange indeed to the modern ear, but in the 16th- century, a milestone. As Yale officials re- mind us, it brought to the ver- nacular English-speaking world one of the most popular sports of all times. And even non-aquatic schol- ars, it is presumed, will find much of lively interest in the book other than "to -Learne to Swimme." But if perchance you, too, be- come fascinated by the prospect of "turning in the water like a roach," you can always write to the Yale University library. Who:knows, it might come out in paperback. Union Cooperation, Worthy of note, at a time when lagging company,profits are caus- ing the lay-off of many workers, is a proposal made by the ex- ecutive committee of the Oil, Chemical and Atomic Workers local in Monsanto, Ill, The unions offered to take a 10-cent-an- hour cut in production bonus to help keep the plant operating. The American Zinc Co plant had laid off about 125 workers, Costs still were too high so the com- pany announced the remaining 225 workers would be laid off' and the plant shut down tempor- arily. Then came the union of- fer to take a cut in pay and the shut-down plans were cancelled. By union cooperation, the jobs of at least 225 Members were saved, Most will be making about $4 a week less, but at least they will be getting a paycheck and the company will be keep- ing its production linea going,• —New Orleans Times-Picayune ON A VISIT President risen-7 hewer Is shown ,O§. he .

Paeifle railroad has done Whet the U.S railroads have been Seared to do—it has successfully faced dawn an Opers ging union and ended a .costly featherbedding practice, Freight and yard diesel engines In this country and Canada have been compelled by union agree- ments to carry a fireman as. well as an engineer and a head brake- man. The fireman, of course, has no fire to tend, and the brake- man is in the cab for safety pro- tection, The three-man diesel crew was, and still is in this country, an expensive waste of manpower, The President of the Erie railroad, here the other day for the Transportation 'Institute at the Sheraton, said it cost his ro-ad $400,000 a year for this superfluous third man. The point we make is that the CP did something about it, faced up to a strike, won a favorable decision and is now able -to lay off or shift to other jobs a total of 558 firemen. (Only 73 are ac- tually laid off, and these have priority on rehiring.) Why has no American railroad done anything about this and other featherbedding practices? Why has Congress discreetly skirted this problem? The answer is that both are frightened by labor. . The &slathers committee of the Senate, which recently came out with some wise suggestions for relieving the financial plight of the railroads, gave two brief paragraphs, out of 26 pages, to the featherbedding problem, and these merely appealed to the brotherhoods to co-operate with the railroads.. . There has been practically a conspiracy of silence about feath- erbedding, even as the railroads cried out for help. . . , Yet labor, which has seen rail employment drop from 1,363,418 in 1948 to 885,971 in 1958 with rio sign of stopping, is doing nothing about it, The railroads, which are fighting to keep some share of the transportation busi- ness, or even to stay out of re- U CLASSIFIED ADVERTISING -vemossamilikamiatiim-
