FRIDAY, MAY 1, 1925 Liners to Have Radio Motor Boats By order of the British Board of Trade, every ocean liner must hereafter carry one wireless motor boat for every ten lifeboats. It will have a talking radius of 100 miles and will be provided with a direction finder. Above is a radio boat of the S. S. Orblta. CLOTHING OF MALAYSIANS AND SENGALESE DOESN’T LEAVE MUCH TO IMAGINE (Continued from Page One) It is a custom of the country to send two men along to drive the car. One actually drives it and the other gink sits up and rides in the choicest front seat. Just why this ornament has to go along I have failed to discover, unless they got the idea from steam engines, which usually require an en- gineer and fireman. If you ask one of these discolored sons of Maylasia if he can speak English, he invariably says, “yes.” He will continue saying “yes” as long as you talk to him. He can’t even swear in English, but isn’t going to deny anything you say. But if he thinks his tip is not large enough, and mostly he thinks that way, he will speak his native language and sup- plement it with motions which thor- oughly indicate his displeasure. I suppose there are lots of folks of all colors of that variety, anyhow. It is rather difficult to describe the typical dress of the natives. In all the islands down here there is a simi- larity in the conglomeration. Many wear a black fez, others have a small ready-to-wear turban affair which looks as though it had been made of batik; others wear old felt hats that have seen better days, then others wear nothing on their head. Many wear no chest clothing but use a pair of rompers and a skirt wrapped around their loins. Most of them wear bare legs and feet. The women wear some sort of a cloth contraption, much on the order of the European ladies’ evening gown. It is tucked in so that nothing but the upper part of the person is ex- posed to the weather. Naturally I did not want to get too familiar, so could not tell how it was tucked around to keep it in place any more than a gentle person would, at a full dress ball, endeavor to discover how his partner kept hers in place. You see the point, of course. In some respects these ladies re- minded me of our native folks. Take a sparsely dressed native who could slop around in a canal, washing clothes. Now it seemed to please her vanity to have an umbrella along to protect her from the delightful warm showers that come along odd and even during the rainy season. The wet of the canal would not count. That water had been used so often in so many ways that she was undoubt- edly accustomed to it, but she was evi- dently much alarmed about the qual- ity and purity of the rain drops. It might have been that she was in fear of getting tanned, or freckles, which would necessitate an extra expense for a charcoal preparation to beautify herself with. So it isn’t always so much a ques- tion of just what color you are as it is the shade you most desire. Some authority has said that fish is a great .brain food. If so it must be some other kind of fish than fre- quent these waters. The natives have eaten every variety of fish that in- habit the ocean hereabouts for the past several hundred years and as near as I could ascertain the only thing they learned from the fish fam- ily was from the eel. Their methods of living really do not appeal to me. yet, of course, this is not required of me and I should not complain. They live very much in the open air, such as it is, and do not seem to care how open or how thick it is. The smaller native places of business are one story and built very much on the order of a Kansas or Illinois hay- shed—long and low with stalls parti- tioned off every few feet, with no fronts. The whole shop is disclosed to view and goods are scattered around like a wreck of a second-hand shop. The shopkeeper squats on his heels and lays for his game. In fact the Malay is the original squatter. He seldom sits down, but squats on his heels much after the fashion of our old-time cowpunchers. 1 don’t know which one caught the habit from the other. I presume they both got the habit from the lack of chairs. The front yards of houses along the street are all used very much as our back yards are. The restauranteur has a movable place of business consisting of a cook stove on one end of a pole and his food on the other. He trots along and is ready to serve meals at any old time or place. The .barber works pretty much the same way. He backs his patrons up against a wall and proceeds to garner whiskers or hair as desired. There are many kinds of hair cuts. Some wear their hair European fashion, others have a black patch around the crown, the rest all shaved, and the most peculiar fashion is a close clip with a small, long rat- tail tied at the end with a bit of rib- bon. .1 didn’t count the bundle but it did not appear to contain over 16 or 17 hairs. It would amaze you to see how quick a vigorous lady shopper-tourist could tear up a bale of silk batik, kimonos or other such stuff. There was no let-up until the last rag had been spread out and rumpled up into what seemed to be a hopeless heap. Then it was equally as amazing to note how quick the itinerant peddler could stack it up and wrap it up in his tote-rag again. Why, these natives do not care a rap more for money than a devout person does for heaven—not a par- ticle. What they won’t do for a dol- lar hasn’t been discovered yet. The Dutch government is a mighty good thing for the Malay and all hands seem to get along fine. The old- time princes and royal family, such as is, are allowed plenty of spending money, permitted to swell around in golden glad rags and live on the fat 'of the land. They are accorded many privileges but the Dutch govern the place, levy a good stiff tax and make the public improvements. The Dutch have not attempted as yet to reform the na- tives in a wholesale manner and make them conform to Dutch customs.

CEYLON WONDERFUL ISLAND Bombay, India, March 7. Well sir, nearly caught the roup down here changing dollars for ru- pees. Rupees are the national dish here and are traded on about , the same basis, 38 American cents to a rupee or one of our dollars equal two rupees and sixty cents in their money. When our whirlwind gang of expert shoppers hit the Isle of Ceylon you could feel the place tilt toward the shore and the glass merchants dug up all the old jewels that had been laying around since the last tourist boat left. The Empress of France and another large tourist .boat came in the morn- ing following, hooked onto the place and turned loose their gang of sore- eyed sightseers on the town of Co- lumbo. The city of Columbo and the Island of Ceylon most agreeably surprised our gang after visiting Calcutta with its burning ghats, filthy streets, si- lent, sullen fanatics and general mel- ancholy aspect. The Sengalese were clean, comparatively speaking, cheer- ful, pleasant and welcomed all hands with a military salute and a wide ex- panse of white teeth. There are many Hindus or Indians here, but they are in minority and are looked down upon by the Sengalese, who were the ori- ginal owners and rulers of the island. The Sengalese is proud of his knot of hair, twisted up on the back of his head very much in the style affected by old ladies, and his shell comb, which fits around his head like a crown, open in front. From the front it looks as though he had a couple sharp horns on his head, but he calls it his “crown.” The Sengalese wears pretty much the same uniform as others, except a little more so than the Indian. He wears a shirt of some kind and the usual sarong—or about two short yards of cloth wrapped about his hips in such away that it is almost im- possible to tell whether it is a skirt or a pair of pants or both. He goes barefooted, of course. All the black gang does, except a favored few who probably were caught young and broken to wear shoes. The native women here wear sorter hit and miss affairs. (Oh, shut up! I guess in the interest of science I can explain their dress without getting nide). You see, the waist is tight and skimpy, east and west, just suf- ficient to .braziere the figure. Then north and south it is abbreviated, leaving quite a large expanse of na- tive color exposed between it and the skirt below. This exposed natural color does not seem to fade and it is claimed that the sun helps to digest the food, if you get the idea. Cal- loused feet are mainly used, though some of the more forward young ladies w’ear shoes of some kind or other and are probably just as uncomfortable as their white sisters. I would have liked very much to have interviewed some of the young ladies, but for ob- vious reasons had to refrain; but one can smile back and wave a friendly hand in return while passing splendid pulchritude without creating a sensa- tional scene—it’s not only the costume but the custom of the country. It must have been a very prosperous year here last year, and young women along the way seemed pleased and proud to wave their shiny little off- spring out at you to admire as you went along. The most fashionable clothing 1 have seen here for children is a small piece of twine about the size druggists use to wrap up a small bottle with, which delicate string is tied around the child at about his or her equator. I was unable to find out whether this was for adornment, to keep off the sun or for identification. However, the poorer children, those probably born in abject poverty, could not af- ford this evidence of affluence, con- sequently were turned loose in the streets completely minus—“just as was” as it were. Ceylon is not a political part of India, politically speaking, but the same British hand rules here as in main India. It was under Dutch rule from 1656 to 1796 and before that un- der Portuguese, rule. Ceylon, like Burma, is mainly of the Buddhist per- suasion as to the hereafter, while Brahaminisrji predominates in India Nobody but a barefaced liar would go so far as to say you can’t raise coconuts, tea, rice and jewels on this island. One part, the southern sec tion, grows coconut trees like we have pine trees in northern Arizona, only more so. There are three kinds, ac- cording to our native guide—king queen and common. The “king” coco- nut is the one that produces the best meat, oil, coconut fiber and copra There is an odor about the coconut oil foundry not calculated to cause a congregation of polite society, but it is a profitable product and because of which does not affront a native em- ployed in corraling the commodity at the ruling wage. The famous tea that Lord Lupton has run his racing “yot” on for so many years, is grown here, where he has a factory for compiling the plant leaves into different grades of tea. It was a mussy looking process. Damp- ened tea leaves, looking like stripped | alfalfa were being ground with t. j process not unlike wheat in a flou) mill, but not so fine. It seems that steam, water and baking processes are necessary to bring out the flavoi of the tea ready for use before being box%d and placed ofi the market. Rice gpws plentiful on the lower levels where it can be flooded. It is one of the main food supplies of the island, though many vegetables are grown in truck gardens here and there. Oh, yes, bananas, pineapples popias and a grand gathering of small fruits grow here, in fact any old thing seems to do well here except the rupee, and lately tourists infected with them have been coming to supply this need. Jewelry is dug out of the ground up in the hills and the general im- pression is that it is cheaper to dig up ! star sapphires, opals, aquamarines j and other gems, than it is to cut them I out of broken glass.

The mountainous region and tropical jungle is the native haunt of the wild elephant. They seldom come out into the open alon& the roads, though a week or ten days previous to our landing there, a bunch of bad elephants went on a rampage and wrecked a large automobile bus, but di(f not happen to injure any of the passengers.

In some' places I am convinced that a mud turtle farm would do well, because tourists will .buy most any old thing j that an average mud turtle can pro- duce. There does not appear to be any very wide opportunity for a mosquito ranch here at present. There are too many other ways to get bit. But you can’t help but like the olace and want to come back again. Down in the jungle of native shops tradesmen will walk out into the middle of the street to visit with you but their main con- versation is relative to the star sapphires they raise or cut from glass bottles. It does not matter whether you want jewelry or not. When he shows you a small tub full of glittering “gems,” all colors of the rainbow, and whispers the number of rupees required to acquire ’em, it is most difficult to refrain from stumbling. Don’t stumble or attempt to reach into your pocket for a hand- kerchief. “Both is fatal,” as it were, and you are a gone gosling. All the kindly merchant seemingly wants you to do is to hesitate, and, if you hesi- tate, all holds are loose. The glorious glitter of baubles will make a man stutter some, but when the ladies see this splendid gliter, pa’s wallet gets a wallop that causes one to think of the opening of a bale of hay. The following day our "arty left Colombo by automobile for Kandy, some 72 miles north through a verit- able jungle of coconut trees every foot of the way, except where a ter- 1 raced rice paddy intervened in lower ! open spaces. The road as it neared J Kandy wound and twisted its way up- j ward through the hills, giving us a i splendid view of the most picturesque country below. Kandy is about 1600 feet above the sea levql and is the local summer'resort section, but even t that the natives never fuss about winter clothes. Seasons all look alike to them, ex- cept the rainy season, which produces some big floods in the low lands. The rainy season is during the local win- ter months of June and July. Kandy was the capital of Ceylon from 1592 to 1789. The city was often burned and looted during the 17th and 18th centuries by European freebooters who were numerous and who enjoyed themselves very much taking things away from the natives and helping to fill the local cemeteries with those who had the temerity to object. Them was the good old days when tourist parties were conducted on a different basis. Now the natives loot the tour- ists. It has taken quite several years for things to right themselves so the native could recoup himself from losses sustained by his ancestors. The “poor, down-trodden” Armen- ian is one of the most vicious of the tradesmen here and he is evidently doing mighty well. The 50 years of constant appeals for Near East relief funds for the starving Armenians have made it possible for the males to set themselves up in business and live easy, letting the world take care of their children. Along the road to Kandy we met a number of natives riding elephants. They were always willing to show off the tricks of their mounts for a few tion, Defendants, Greeting: You are hereby summoned and re- quired to appear in an action brought against you by the above named plain- tiff in the Supei'ior Court of the State of Arizona, in and for the County of Coconino, and answer the Complaint thei-ein filed with the Clerk of this said Court, at Flagstaff in said County, within 20 days after the service upon you of this sum- mons, if served in this said county, or in all other cases within 30 days thereafter, the times above mentioned being exclusive of the day of service, or judgment by default will be taken againfct you.
