KILTS, THATS ALL
FOR U. S. SOLDIERS
1 1
Picturesque Samoans Go Scotch
men One Better
Washington, Sept. 12. Uncle Sam
has soldiers who go Scotland's "La
dles from Hell" one better: They
were kilts and that's all.
They are natives of Samoa in the
South Pacific, where the banishment
of a chief by the American governor
of the islands has caused a protest
to be made directly to President
Coolldge.
In regard to these picturesque sol
diers, a bulletin from tho Washing
ton, D. C. headquarters of the Na
tional Geographic Society quotes a
communication from Lorena Macln
tyre Qulnn as follows:
"The Flta-Fltas, as the native sol
dierf are called, constitute an Im
portant unit In the government Of
American Samoa,
, Black KiltsBare Chests.
"It would be hard to find a more
picturesque body of men than these,
our South Sea Islands soldiers. . Tall,
broad-shouldered, handsome in fea
ture, possessing splendid poise,
they are admirable types of their
race.
"Their fatigue uniform consists of
a sort of black kilt with a bright red
stripe around the border. Above tho
waist and below the knees the uni
form Is 'Nature's own.'
"A leather belt carrying a dagger
on the side holds the gilt or lava
lava In place. A bright red turban
is the head-dress. '
"For dress uniform the Flta-Fltas
wear with tho lava-lava a sleeveless
white undervest, similar to the X. T.
Z. or A. B. S. garment graphically
described In the advertising sections
of magazines.
Regulation Uniforms Made Them TU.
"When the native soldiers were
first taken Into the service of the
United States, a less abbreviated and
more conventional uniform was pro
vided them, with the result that
they "were constantly suffering from
colds, so there was a wise reversion
to a uniform on the lines of their

native dress. '. . i
"The Flta-Fltas have municipal a
well as military duties. They act
as policemen in and about Fago Pa
go, guard all prisoners in the Pago
Pago Jail, and frequently are called
upon to settle fights at cricket game
between rival native villages. The
last named duty is sometimes' a se
vere tost for the soldier as an arbi
trator, especially when his own vil
lage Is Involved In the controversy.'
"The multifold activities of our
South Seas soldiers seem rather at
variance with the conceptions most
of us have about native life in the
Islands of the South Pacific. We pic
ture a native as lolling under a co
conut tree, an obliging wife sitting
close by, waving a palm leaf to
'shoo.' away the files from her lord,
and food on the brances of nearby
trees within easy reach of both,
I Uniforms Capture Maids,
"When the Governor of American
Samoa makes a tour of Inspection
of Tutulla, he Is always accompanied
by native soldiers. The Flta-Kltas
selected to be the orderly on such
occasions holds a proud position
among his friends.
"The official party Is received with
great dignity and formality by the
III fin
All of us dream of the things we want to do. Especially
these fall evenings when the twilight come and every
thing is quiet do we dream. "Castles in the air" are won
derful structures existing only in our imaginations. It's
fine to dream about them. But the trouble is if we use up
all our time in dreaming of those castles we'll never build
them. And just as long as they stay there, up In the air,
we'll never get much good out of them. It wouldn't be a
very convenient thing to have to do, after the day's work
was over, to take that trip home for the night If our castle
home was up thero somewhere. Our fllvrer wouldn't carry
us, nor would the trolley. A good, practical, common
sense home right here on earth would be a lot better.
Philosophers and scientists tell us the thing to do Is to
turn our dreams into deeds. That is what we are doing.
That is what the boarded-up front of "New Britain's
Greatest Value-Giving Store" means: That Is what each
bit of pounding of hammers inside the store means; that
Is what every particle of the unusual activity along con
struction lines on our premises means. We are making
some of our dreams come true.
Those dreams, you ask? Those dreams have been to do
something big In New Britain In the way of value-giving,
service-giving, thought-giving In the mercantile field.
Gradually those dreams became concrete. Carefully,
earnestly, enthusiastically we planned. Today, as you pass
or enter our store you will see and you will hear, In the
quick movements of workmen, in the sounds that strike
your ears, the proofs that we are making real our dreams
In a material way, by alterations and Improvements that
will Increase the attractiveness and efficiency of our store;
in a practical way, by carrying out the dream of Improve
ment in better values, more eager service, more earnest
thought than ever before.

chiefs of the village on these tours,
as the Samoans delight in ceremony
and speechmaklng. The reception
accorded the Flta Fitas by the pret
ty, vivacious Samoan belles of the
different villages Is always exceeding
ly cordial. These maidens, with
bronze, complexions, are as suscep
tible td the fascinations of the lava
lava uniform as their sisters in
America are partial to khaki and
brass buttons.
"Ths principal feature of the Flta
Flta organization is the .band. A
little more than a decade ago the
natives of American Samoa had
never seen a brass instrument, but
with Infinite patience a bandmaster
of the United States navy eventually
taugh some o'f the Flta Fitas how
to play, wth; the result that today
the repertoire of the Flta-Flta band
covers a wide range of classical and
popular airs.
Efficient Routers at Cricket Games.
"The favorite form of recreation
for the Flta-Fltas Is cricket. The
English missionaries taught the Sa
moans the game and cricket tourna
ments are gala events In the Islands.

so that a game very often assumes
the proportions of a miniature bat
tle. "The 'rooting1 section Is the prime
attraction at the tournament. The
antics and capers o the Samoan
'bleacherltes' at their games would
make the 'stunts' of the undergrad
uates at an Intcr-colleglate game
seem tame in comparison. The na
tives crouch on the side lines beating
wooden drums and giving vent to
wild chants, easily eclipsing our
own college cheers, as far as volume
of noise is concerned.
