Reformers Get

.OId Customs
CLOTHES? RIDICULOUS!
Wear such ugly clothes? Go to all
that bother? Not on our lives, said
the South Sea Islanders. And the
chief who had been struck with re-
forming zeal almost lost his leader-
ship in the same way that King Am-
anullah found trouble in Afghanistan
when he tried,ato modernize his people.

At Cape York, in far�northern Aus" earth and recall how small a place I
tr.alia, where,, the only white, th
writer spent eight years establishing a.
cocoanut plantation, he thought he
would try his hand at improving the
lot of the ,exceedingly primitiveblacks.
He tried it in this way, we learn:
I decided I would cure: them of their
habit of living by the chase, .change
their nomadic ways in general and.
make agriculturists of them. To this
end I gave t em plots of land, and
seeds and plats, and taught them til-
lage. I put a lot of time and effort
into/the undertaking, but it was a
complete failure. After a very little
while the people refused .to go on,
saying that. bunting was a quicker,
means of obtaining food than waiting
for it to grow, and that it was plain
foolishness to take all this 'trouble to
make things grow when the jungle
was full of fruits and things which
could be had for the picking, and that
they were very angry with me for in-
troducing such a scheme. And that
was the end of that. In setting out
to change the habits of such well-
established nomads, I had attempted
the impossible.
At times the would-be reformers
have been women. .In the mountain-
ous interior of New Guinea I cane
across one such. Her special brand
of reform was the abolition of a new
tribal dance which had been introduc- dogged gg and the stomach sour. Baby s
ed from the coast and was rapidly Own Tablets are a never -failing relief
becoming popular. When 'I first saw for this condition. They are a mild
her she was standing on the high ver- but thorough laxative and through
andah of a thatched house in the cen- their action on the stomach and bevels
ter of the village, vigorously telling they banish constipation and indigos
tion; break up colds and simple fever:
allay the pain accompanying the cut-
ting of teeth and promote health -giv-
ing sleep. Concerning them Mrs. W.
Jenning, Mackay, Ont., writes: —"I
have used Baby's Own Tablets and
think so highly of them that I would
not be wtihout them. Please send
me your little booklet on the care of
children."
Baby's Own Tablets are sold by
medicine dealers or by mail at 25
cents a from the Dr. Williams'
Medicine Brockville, Ont.
The chief had come back from a mis-
sion station with a stock of European
clothes, Jack McLarentells us in an
article in the New York World Maga-
zine on the South Sea Islanders lack
of desire to change their ways. The
chief intimated "that henceforth the
people were not to run around more
or less nude, as they had always done,
but were to wear clothes `all -same
"white men,' including boots and hats."
At first all seemed to go well, but fin-
ally, we read:
The people declared against the
scheme, -giving as their reasons that
washing the clothes would be more
laborious than washing the body;, that
boots merely impeded the action of
the feet; that a man did not need the
protection of a hat when he had a
great thick head of hair, as all the
natives had; and that, altogether,
European clothes ,were strikingly
ugly, especially the 'trousers, which
looked ridiculous besides.
Hinting that they doubted whether
a chief who sought to inflict such
things on his people really had their
interests at heart, they threw away
most of the hats and boots and rip-
ped the other garments into ribbons
wherewith to decorate themselves at
the tribal feasts and dances. And
the chief was wise enough to drop
his reforms' and let matters go on as
they had gone on before.
Another reaction against ill-timed
progress took place in one of the
Torres Strait islands, off the New
Guinea coast, and the disturbance was
caused by the Australian administra-
tion nominating native councillors to
manage the island—a plan to teach
the islanders 'self-government." Many
of the islanders objected to certain
of their fellows being raised . above
them . by an outside authority, and
there were violent quarrels, often
ending in bloodshed. In fact, a blood -
feud arose' and became so acute that
half of the villagers shifted their be-
longings and started a village on a
different part of the island. Peace
was restored in the end, however, and
the scheme of self-government was
eventually accepted. The native coun-
cillors nowadays are respected and
rather pompous persons who see no-
thing ridiculous in the fact that usu-
ally their sole costume consists of a
red guernsey hearing across the chest
in large white letters the word "Coun-
cillor."
Then there isthe case. of,a New
Guinea chief I knew who aftr ar trip
to civilization, which taught him much
about vermin and their relation to
personal cleanliness, ordered the peo-
ple of the village to cut short their
hair. Note, New Guinea natives, par-
ticularly the young men, are intensely
proud of their hair, which in many
cases makes a mop two feet or more
across, and the chief. order caused
a great uproar. The'people threaten-
ed him with all kinds of violence, from
sudden death to slow torture, and the
village sorcerer was employed to
threaten him with various mysterious
ills. They even set fire to liis house.
His pet pig was found one morning
mysteriously slain, and two of his
dogs were poisoned.
At another island I stepped right
into the middle of a revolt caused by
a native missionary having insisted
that the people sleep in ;beds instead
of on the floor or on the ground, as.
*as their custom. They were gather-
ed about the missionary, telling him
angrily that, being accustomed to
rolling .freely about the floor, , they
continually fell off the beds and hurt
themselves. They declared emphatic-
ally' they would not sleep on such
dangerous scaffoldings any more, I
suggested they pat sides to the beds
British Motor Exports
Loudon Times Trade Supplement:
'American manufacturers have a huge
outlet at home for standardized pro-
ducts that are as suitable for the con-
ditions in most export markets as for
those In the United States. They be-
gin, therefore, with the initial'advant-
age of an assured protected home mar-
ket which justifies mass production
quite apart from export requirements..
This production in volume has en-
abled certain American firms to re -
'duce costs on each unit to an extent
impossible for smaller makers to
emulate. American firms have also
had a great advantage in being able to
develop the comparatively new manus
facturing and exporting business
while other industrial nations were at
war. They made the most of their
opportunity and established their ser-
vice agencies and advertised their
cars aggressively all over the world.
That is the position which the British
manufacturer and exporter have to
face. After the War they had a great
deal of leeway to make up, and na-
turally concentrated attentiion on the
relatively small British market. In
luxury cars and in commercial vehic-
les the British have . nothing to fear

Unquestionably your eyes have
muck to do with the matter of our
soul's contentment, If we used them
as wisely as the poorx man of this in-
cident, contentment would cease to
be with us less a matter of posses-
sion and more . a matter of making the
most of that which we already have.

squatted on the ground below that the
old dances were quite good enough for
the proud people of the hills, and that
there was something evil in this new
dance, as it called for the women to
be completely clother, which was not
the right way for women to dance!
For hours she kept it up, stamping
and gesticulating all the time; and
when the attention of the crowd seem-
ed to waver, she signaled to a number
of grotesquely painted persons near
her to beat loudly on the drums. She
was definitely magnetic, and• -I learned
later she was the daughter of a long
line of fighting chiefs. Her efforts
resulted in creating considerable dis-
favor for the new dance for a time.
But after a while her influence waned
and the dance was taken up again.
At a blacks' camp in a rerfiote part
of tropical Australia, an aboriginal
girl who had been employed as a dom-
estic servant at a distant town con-
ceived the idea of teaching her breth-
ren to live as she had seen white peo-
ple live. The tribes took no heed at
all of her advice.
In one of the lesser known of the
Solomon Islands, "where sorcery is
a highly lucrative form of blackmail,
practiced exclusively by males," a na-
tive woman caused a tremendous sen-
sation by announcing she had "dis-
covered a new and infinitely more
powerful form of the art." Quoting
further:
The other sorcerers denounced her
as•an impostor, and the villagers took
sides. There were many fights. Fin-
ally a test of skill was arranged, the
male sorcerers to use their charms
and spells to destroy the woman, the
woman to use her charms and spells
to destroy the males. News of the
contest spread widely, and crowds of
natives from distant villages came to
watch. But just when all was ready,
a government patrol arrived and an-
nounced that a charge of murder
would follow the mysterious death of
any one on either side. That ended
the contest, and the visitors went
home with a distinct grievance against
the patrol, who, they considered, had
cheated them out of a legitimate en-
tertainment and caused them to make
a long journey for nothing.

Stains on Stockings
Try borax water to remove shoe
leather stains from light-colored stock-
ings. Soak them, then wash as usual.
If this is net effectual add half an
ounce oxalic acid to two cupfuls of
water. Rinse in this solution and wash
thoroughly afterward. Repeat until
stain disappears.
For soot stains first brush the stain,
then cover with a good absorbent
powder as French chalk, fuller's earth
or corn meal. Work the powder over
the spot until it becomes soiled, then
brush it off. If the fabric is washable,
sponge or wash with soap and water.
If unwashable, rub gentlrg with chloro-
form or gasoline,
Do not attempt to sweep soot from
a carpet until it is covered with dry
salt. This should be done at once,
then swept off carefully.

The Christianization of China
Stephen Gwynn in the Fortnightly
Review (London) : Europeanization
has at least to some considerable de-
gree meant Christianization among
the leading Chinese. It is easy to
be cynical about Kellogg Pacts and
the rest; indeed, it is difficult not to
be. But a China whose governing
persons were even partly Christian-
ized
hristianized should find it easier to come to
reasonable terms with a somewhat de-
militarized Europe. In the old dis-
putes between imperial China and
militarist Christian Powers it was
very difficult for any lean to establish
a common ground of justice, mutually
understood.
The Individual
Democracy means nothing if it does
not mean the realization by the indi-
vidual
ndividual of his responsibility. If the in-
dividual fails, the body of which he Is
part will become .corrupt, and de-
mocracy will perish. In religion, if
the individual fads the body will fail,

Castoria is a comfort when Baby is

little one is at ease. If restless, a
few . drops soon bring contentment.
No harm done, for Castoria is a baby
remedy, meant for babies. Perfer'tly
eat() to give the youngest infant; you
have the doctors' word for that! It Is
a vegetable product and you could use
it every day. But it's in an emerg-
ency that Castoria means most. Some
night when constipation must be re-
lieved --0r colic pains—or other suffer-

mothers keep an extra bottle, un-

ways be Castoria in the house. It is
effective for older children, too; react
