THE USHAWA DAILY 1IMED, IHURSUAT, MAY ¥, 1949 WHITE HOWAN FLESH 1S THOUGHT A RARE DELCACY . Ants, Beetles and Crawl- ing Reptiles Washington, May 9.--~Northwest Australia, scene of the search for the famous aeroplane Southern Cross, is fringed with white settlements, but the mountainous country in the in- terior is the land of the "blackfellow," or Australian native. = Some writers, the National Geo- graphic Society says, contend that these tribesmen like white human esh; others say they prefer the vegetarian Malay. More important in their bill-of-fare are ants, bettles, snakes, lizards, worms, grasshoppers, wild fruits and roots. ' A locust swarm, despised by the American farmer, means a feast of roast locusts in a "blackfellow" vil- e. ing within 15 to 18 degrees be- low the equator; they wear no haber- dashery but they like skin decora- tions. The tribesmen's backs, chests, legs, faces and abdomens are welted $0 that the surface of the skin re- sembles a layer of sausages. The effect is brought about by a native beauty expert. He cuts the skin of the tribesmen with flint. or shell and rubs mud into the wound, which. is kept open, and more mud is applied from time to time until the desired welt is procured. Each year is a beauty spot, and the more spots the tribesman wears the more eligible is he among the tribal belles, 'Some of the tribesmen add to their food looks by thrusting pins, made of turkey, kangaroo or emu bones, though their noses. Now and then they add a little color to the nasal decoration by substituting a parrot's feather for a bone. Life. in a "blackfellow" village would be a paradise for masculine opponents to women's rights. The native's wife is his slave. A native girl often marries when she is 10 ears old. The husband can beat er without himself being pugished by tribal law, and he may lefld or give her to another tribesman with. out asking her consent. She does all the work. Among thie nomadic tribes she is the packhorse; trudging behind her husband, who carries only his clubs and spears, If she stops, she is whipped. At the new village she obtains the bark to build the new house, gathers - fruit, climbs trees to collect the larvae of worins, and digs for. fender roots, Meanwhile she nurses her infant, There is a "blackfcllow" happy hunting ground but the tribesmen have no God to fear. Ghosts and demons lurk in the caves and thick- ets, and are dispersed by the witch doctor. White men are TOR ibn who have come back to life, accord- ing to their belief, The warm waters of the north- western coast are infested with sharks and stingrays weighing hun- dreds of pounds. Alligators swarm some of the rivers of this region, Turtles with shells three to four feet across commonly are seen one .off- shore islands, The Dugong, a favorite fish among both the black and white inhabttants, of the northwest, is caught like the whale with spears, The flesh has a flavor akin to both beef and pork. "Fine leather is made from the hide and 'dugong oil is famous for its penetrating qualities, Wyndham, one of the larger settle- ments in the northwest, is a typical Australian outback town. It boasts a hotel, post office, hospital, butch- er's shop, several stores and savings bank. The government has built a fine refrigeration plant there, * MAY LOSE $50,000 New York, N.Y., May 9.--Ii York- town wins the Kentucky Derby at Louisville on May 18, "Tom Shaw, betting commissioner, will lose $30,- 000.

Vanormang the designer, and he will use one of the devices in the 1929 national balloon races to be held May 4 at Pittsburgh, Van Orman, who won the national balloon races in 1924, '25, '26 and '27 and the international race at Ant» werp in 1926, also 'is 'expefimeriting with a device to protect the balloon itself from lightning. In 1928, Van- orman's balloon in the national race at Pittsburgh, was struck by light- ning. His aide, Walter W. Morton, was killed and Vanorman was in- "jured. Lieut, Paul Everet, an army entry, algp was killed similarly in the' same conest, The shield invented by Vanorman consists of crossarms extending did- gonally across the metal load ring of the balloon above the b~:ket. From the corners of the criss arms, 12 heavy copper wires, | ang downward, about a foot outside the edge of the basket. They extend downward about nine feet, Water Reaches High Mark in Georgian Bay ! Owen Sound, May 9.--Not in many years have the waters of Georgian Bay reached the high levels of this spring. Anxiety is felt by those who 'own cottages along nearby beaches, many of which it is impossible to reach without drjving through the water, The water has risen toward the cotages 30 or 40 feet and some are in danger of being undermined.

Equalled [5:50 Years WHEAT SITUATION RELATIVELY GOOD ALL OVER WORLD Prospective World Area For 1929 Crops Expected to Be Lower Than 1928 BANK STATEMENT Severe Winter in Europe "Detrimental To Crops Toronto, Ont.,, May 9.--In com- menting on the general wheat sit- uation throughout the world, the Royal Bank of Canada, in a pre- pared statement, points out that so many uncertain factors enter into the case that any accurate forecast as to the trend of wheat pricse is practically impossible. The shipment of South Ameri can grain, movement of stocks in North America and weather condi- tions surrounding spring seeding, it is felt, will all have an import- ant influence on the course of prices, ' "But in general' the Rpyal 'Bank statement points out, "it may, be said that the world wheat situation is relatively satisfnc- tory." In gpite of the fact that the esti mated prepared wheat acreage in Canada for 1929 is nearly 1,000,- 000 acres larger than in 1928, it is predicted that the'. prospective world area for 1929 crops will be somewhat below htat of 1928. Ac- cording to the United States De- partment of Agriculture the 1929 wheat area in 13 countries has been reported at 117,039,000 acres, representing a decrease of four percent from the 121,632,000 acres of 1928, ] The severe winter in Europe was detrimental to winter wheat. The Danube basin suffered, while Rumania is rpeorted to have lost half its acreage. North Africa and India are only slightly less favor- able than a year ago. In Russia in spite of the government's plan to increase acreage several important wheat producing sections have re- ported the area sown to be from 12 to 18 percent helow last year. In 1928 both Canadian and world crop figures presented new high records of production, The United States, Argentine, and Australian crops were among the best over harvested while the Dan- ube district had the largest crop since the war, As a result the world export surpluses at the end of 1928 were unprecentedly Ligh. In' touching upon the future, the Royal Bank statement suggests the present prices, though low, give promise of responding to an increasing demand, Much will de- pend upon the prospects for the 1929 crop and so far as that is concegned, there are difficulties in the way of making estimates. The chief difficulties would seem to lie in the inadequate statis.ical data at present available. "To remedy "this deficiency," the report suggests, "crop yield statistics, weather records and our knowledge of the laws of plant growth must be improved." en of Oshawa a P This Offer is Extended #" SIBERRYS % dar Sa i ke Only TAILORED TO MEASURE | hy pr /N 1 Store Open Friday Night Till 7 PM.

On the earli- er occasion the weather had been too unfavorable for a regal cere- mony outdoors. Londoners and their country and overseas cousins greeted the Prince by the thousands as he drove through the streets yester-' day. The Prince had first come from his own quarters at St. James to the palace to make the journey. He entered a state lan- dau attended by a osvereign s es- cort of lifeguards. Attired in the uniform of a colonel ot the waish guards th Prince's face was almost hidden by his bearskin, but he fe- peatedly saluted with a white- gloved hand to the plaudits of the onlookers. The Earl of Granard, master uv. the King's Horse, rode with the Prince.
