CANNIBALISTICINDIANS NOT FOUND IN BRAZIL By Miles W. Vaughn (United Press Staff Correspondent) Rio de Janerio.—(By Mail)— There are no cannibalistic Indians in Brazil. That is the word of the fa- “ mous Rondon commission, headed by General Rondon of the Brazilian army, which has been in close contact ¢, "thy financial situation in North | with all the tribes of the nation for nearly a quarter of a century. The general characterizes as equal- ly fantastic tales of various Ameri-| covered ‘tribes of white giants in the| Brazilian interior. In a report recently published here the commission says: “One general observation of prime| importance has been verified carefully | in the case of all tribes yet encoun-| tered in Brazil—no evidence what- | cver has been found which would in- dicate the existence of cnnnibalism.”[ General Rondon asserts that he has | personally investigated the canyons| where the Indian tribes are accus-| tomed to throw the bones and refuse from their feasts, and that no human | bone ever has been encountered. | The total Indian population of Bra-| zil is estimated at about 1,000,000, of | which some 30,000 are in the great| state of Matto Grosso (Thick Woods). ! In most of the wild tribes the law | of monogamy is rigorously enforced, | except for the Cacique, ‘the chief,‘ who is allowed to have as many wives | as he wishes. The commission explains | that this is in orden that cross-breed- | ing may improve the race. Many of | the inter-tribal wars are attributed to | the desire of one Cacique to capture a few of the prized wives of some| neighboring ruler across the river. The commission has found thal practically all the interior tribes culti vate fields of grain and beans and are generally a peaceful, home-loving peo- pie, who receive the white man with friendship if they are properly ap- / proached. ; 1 Among the more remote tribes the | use of alcohol is almost unknown, but ' those tribes which have come in con- tact with white settlers have been decimated by alcoholism and syphilis. “SEALSKIN” COATS MADE i ¢ OF BLACK RABBIT FUR| (By United Press) | Denver, Feb, 14.—Most of the| “sealskin” coats women - buy ‘grew originally on the backs of rabbits. | F.
