CHICAGO SUSMS TO
BE UNDER SIDEWALKS
According: To Plan Proposed
By Chicago Civil Engineer
Who Contends That Cost
Will Be Much Cheaper.
CHICAGO, July 22. (By The Amo
einted Press) Subways under Chicago
sidewalks instead of under fhs eily
' streets is the plan proposed by I. Chase
Ilenison, Chicago tivil engineer, who
contends that such an improvement, could
safely be built at less than half tlio
depth of tlio ordinary type of under
ground railway and lit a tenth of the
eost.
Only a small portion of such a snbay
system ns Chicago needs enn be built
' at the depth that would be neeessnry if
excavation should be made urnler the
street proper, owing, to the expense, ne
eoring to Mr. Denisoji, who- has sub
mitted to U. S. Schwartz, chairman of
the Chicago Council Trnnsjiortation Com
niitte, a plan for a subway system ten
or twelve feet deep nudor the sidewalks
instead of twenty-five to fifty feet deep
under the streets. It is uiHerstood that
application lias been niade to the United
Riates patent office for protection of
the plan, which Mr. Denison believes ap
plicable to other cities.
"The city of Chicago owns tbo Ptreets
of the city including the sidewalks up
to the building lines," -said Mr. Dcni
son. "The city has the right to lease
to the surface lines the apace iinder the
sidewalks for the car lines. This space
is now used, if at, all, chiefly by business
. houses for coal holes.
"Such ft deep subway as funds could
be provided for would be inadequate for
present needs, whereas a subway sys
tem built ten or twelve feet deep could
provide for the future. In ten or
' twenty-five years the -population of the
city will be greatly increased. At pres
ent wo are twenty-five years behind the
times in our provision for traffic; moat
proposals are designed only to catch up
with the growth that has already taken
idace and are not far-sighted. A deep
subway would be but a temporary make
ehift.
"The sidewalk subway could be built
at one teulh the ripens.? of a deep sub
way, in one tenth the time, and could
extend throughout the city, as ten times
as extensive n system could be built
for the same money. In addition to its
economy, the plan offers several ad
vantages. "In the first place, it would dispense
with long stairs, inclines or elevators
which many people, especially during
the rush bows, would not and could not
take.
"A deep subway is also dark; hard
to ventilate, and the noise is like that
inside of a drum. It also is dangerous,
and in caso of accident a trap for hu
manity. "Under 'the new plan, glass in the
sidewalks 'would supply most of the
light required in daytime venlilation
could be arranged along the buildings.
It would work automatically, the care
in motion forcing the air out in front
of them and drawing in fresh air liehind
them by suction.
''The cars would tale on and let off
people at every street intersection in the
loop district, anl would make three to
five times the speed made on the aur-

A Pacific Arlington is planned by the
American Legion posts in Los Angeles
county, California. A large plot, with
space for 11,MMI graves, has been ac
quired in fllendale cemetery. A fund
hn been net fl'-ide for a large monu
ment and .for the upkeep of 1his bury
ing ground of the West coast's soldier
dead.
Ninety-nine members of the American
Legion scaled Mount Hood at the le
gion's second annual climb held July
lfi. A party of, 249 participated in
the base camp activities which began the
afternoon before the climb. A pack
mule, which succumbed to heart dis
ease at an altitude of 9,000 feet and
plunged down the mountain into a deep
crevasse, whs the only casualty.
Because the mayor of Summer, Wash.,
could give no legitimate reason why
the Rummer American legion should
not givs a dune on the Main street of
the city, after he had strictly, forbidden
such frivolity, legionnaires obtained a
court writ Test raining the mayor from
interfering with tbo celebration. Citi
zens of the nwimuaity and visitors from
nearby towns danced np and down Main
street in response to the Legion's invi
tation which read: "Dance with the
Lcwis-Oiiill post .No. 5:1 of the American
Legion by order of the court."
''Tho " American Legion stands for
America and for the defenders of Amer
ica, first of all," declared llanford
MacNider, national commander of the
Legion before the thirty-seventh nnnnal
meeting of the National Editorial Asso
ciation at Missoula, Mont., July 22.
After spending two years in acquir
ing funds for a clubhouse, the Ameri'
can Legion post in Mangum, Dkla.,
decided the children ot the town needed
a playground worse than the former
service men did a club house. Accord
ing tlie Legionnaires obtained nn
eight year lease on a plot of ground and
used the fund they hud Itecn ao long in
collecting to purchase playground etpiip
nient. ' !
In ordeT that all the cemeteries in
the state may always have the jntipor
care, the Arkansas - American'-lityion
has started a move for tho formation
of a, cemetery association whW-'i will
supervise the laying of new plots -ami
the upkeep of all burying grounds.
Shell shock caused Thurman K. Wil
liamson, Lincoln, Neb.' veteran of the
world war, to forget the girl to whom
he was engaged, lie married another.
The district court has annulled Wil
liamson's marriage, leaving him free to
carry out bis first pledge, if the first
girl still feels that way alxwt it.

GASTONIA (N. C) DAILY
HARVARD GRADUATE TELLS
OF HEAD HUNTING TRIBES
Little Has Been Known Of
These Folk Because Few
Ever Live To Tell the Tate
In Southern Asia.
KANGOOJT, June 21 Kalph E. ITcb
derson, a Harvard graduate who has
spent the past eight months traveling
in southern Asia, has just completed a
trip through the British " uhadniinister
ed territory' of northwestern t Burma
and into the Chinese province of Yun
nan, neither of which have beep thor
oughly explored by white men.
Among the wild tribe encountered on
this trip were the headhunting was.
Hitherto little has been definitely known
concerning the life and customs of this
tribe, as most of those who intruded
Wa territory failed to return. The
Was do not hunt heads primarily from
cannibalistic motives, but rather lieeause
of their belief that-their croi will fail
unless Borne fresh human skulls are im-
pirted every year. Lnder this impres
sion, they organize head hunting exj'-
litions every spring, and it is Milan
consolation to the unfortunate traveler
who falls into their hands that it is ouly
his skull that is wanted.
Writing of the wild Was, Mr. Hen
derson says: - v
"The Was are especially keen on
hunting heads -daring February, March
ami April- just before the planting
season. From the Wa angle of looking
at it, the business isn't tho madmt
we take it to lie. It is a convention,
and fpiite as reasonable ns afternoon
tea. Kvery decently religious vv Knows
that unless tho' seed grain is properly
charmed ami conjured with a human
head,, the crop raised from it will 1m; a
failure. And who waiMs to starve!
In fact, if worst comes to worst, and
there are no heads forthcoming from
raids oh neighbors, the Was prefer to
take the head of some feeble ierson in
thevillage, rather than rnn the risk of
scant crops and consequent empty stom
achs. "In February, March, and April then,
the wild Wa men go a-hunting. Of
course, any head that oners itself to be
collected is regarded as fair game, and
it behooves the man working alone cut
ting jungle or the woman hoeing alone
in the field to bo cautious when the Was
are afoot. A common artifice is to bar
ricade some jungle highway and lie in
ambush, some just behind the barricade,
some on either side to rush down on the
Hanks of any party caught in the trap.
"Heads of men, women and children
over 12 years old are acceptable. Heads
marked with small-ox, for superstitious
reasons, are not desired. A successful
foray is one which . yields one or more
corpses. Immediately the beads are cut
oft and put in bags. . Then back homo
go the rejoicing Was, not neglecting to
take the bodies 'alone for the larder.
and raising a tremendous whooping and
hulabaloo along the way. 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 wnil over it formally.
She must wash tho blood from the dead
face, ami wail an incantational song as
Rite does, so. She must work lierselt
into a sentimental frewy, which feat
under 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. v
'This song, strangely enongh, 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 the crops, and it must be
treated with great revereace. I heard
this song once.
"After tho head has been washed and
wailed over, a raw egg is put into the
dead mouth, to feed the spirit, ihem
the bead is thrust up on a pole. A
basket of seed paddy ((rice) is rut un
der it and left for a few days. As the
head decays, the droppings fall into the
seed paddy, and are thoroughly mixed
with it. The paddy is then ready to
plant, and a good crop is insured. "
