We Are Keen For More The I vlaui Fences And Trees Are No Check To Backing Car On High Street i Such frail objects as fences proved no obstacle to an automobile that was started backing on High street Satur day afternoon about 5:30. A palm tree j checked its rearward course temporari ly and then the engine was thrown into forward progress and next ; brought to a stop before the machine :had effected entrance into or crashed a hole through the walls of the Enos home. A car driven by a Japanese was brought to a stop in front of Maui News office Saturday afternoon and the driver proceeded ,to walk over to the court house. However, he had left in the car a young Hawaiian boy and he proved to be the mischief maker for, in the absence of the owner! of the machine he started "monkey-j ing" with its mechanism. The carl started hacking, the boy tried to stop! it with the steering wheel and swerv- j edit neatly across the street, over thei curb and sidewalk toward the Enos yard. There came a cracking and crashing as the fence gave way and Augustine Enos. siting on the lanai ' of the house, was roused from his re veries. He shouted to the boy and the latter, thoroughly frichtened leaped j from the car rousing the neghborhood ! with his howls. j Enos hurried to the car and a big Ipalm treo stopped it for a moment. The backing progress toward the house was about to be resumed when Enos reversed its progress and no fur ther damage was done, though the boy continued his frightened howls for some time. j A BIT OF FUN Travel Stimulants A prize has been offered for a slo gan that will stimulate travel.

PRINT PUBLISHERS WAILUKU Publishing Head Hunting Allied With Agriculture In Minds Of Burma Was' RANGOON, July 23 (Associated Press Mail) Ralph Henderson, a Harvard graduate who has spent the past eight months traveling in south ern Asia, has just completed a trip through the British "unadminlsterod territory, of northeastern Burma and Into the Chinese province of Yunnan, neither of which have been thorough ly explored by white men. Among the wild tribes encountered on this trip were the head hunting Was. Hitherto little has been defi nitely known concerning the life and customs of this tribe, as most of those who intruded upon Wa territory fail ed to return. The Was do not hunl heads primarily from cannibalistic motives, but rather because of their belief that their crops will fail unless some fresh human skulls are import ed every year. Cnder this Impression they organize head-hunting expedi tions every spring, and it is small consolation to the unfortunate travel er who falls into their hands that it Is only his skull that is wanted. Spring Open Season i Writing of the wild Was, Mr. Hen- ; son says: "The Was are especially keen on hunting heads during February, March and April Just before the planting season. From the Wa angle of looking at it, the business isn't t lie madness we take It to be. It is a con vention, and quite as reasonable as afternoon tea. Every decently reli gious Wa knows that unless the seed grain is properly charmed and con jured with a human head, the crop raised from it will be a failure. And who wants to starve? In fact, if worst comes to worst and there are no heads forthcoming from raids on neighbors, the Was prefer to take the head of some feeble person in the village, rather than run risk of scant, crops and consequent empty stomachs. "In February, March, and April, then, the wild Wa men go a-hunting Of course, any head that offers itself to be collected is regarded as fair game, and it behooves the man work ing alone cutting jungle or the wo man hoeing alone in the field to be cautious when the Was are afoot. A common artifice is to barricade some jungle highway and lie in ambush, some just behind the barricade, some on either side, to rush down on the flanks of any party caught in the trap. "Heads of men, women and child ren over 12 years old are acceptable. Heads marked with small-pox, for su perstitious reasons, are not desired. A successful foray is one which yields one or more corpses. Immedi ately the heads are cut off and put in bags. Then back home go the re joicing Was .not neglecting to take ING All kinds of Commercial Printing can be done by us at a fair price to the customer. COMMERCIAL PRINTING, .

Ceremonies At Home At home there is a ceremony to perform. The wife or mother of the man who made the kill takes the head out of the bag and proceeds to wail over it formally. She must wash the blood from the dead face, and wail an incantatlonal song as she does so. She must work herself Into a sentimental frenzy, which feat un der the circumstances is usually easy of performance. If her wailing lacks the ring of genuineness, her husband helps to supply that which is lacking by beating her. "This song, strangely enough, be seeches the aid of the spirit of the head, and addresses it as a mighty ruler. It is this spirit which is to promote the growth of Hie crops, and It must be treated with great rever ence. I heard this song once. "After the head has been washed and wailed over, a raw egg is put into the dead mouth, to feed the spirit. Then the head is thrust up on a pole. A basket of seed paddy (rice) is put under it and left for n few days. As the head decays, the droppings fall Into the seed paddy, and are thorough ly mixed with it. The paddy is then ready to plant, and a good crop is Insured."
