Most interesting of all the groups, from the standpoint of race history, are the “To Runs," a gistinct popla- ‘earth men,” aken to mean aborigines, or They flee from a camera as they would from a rifle; they seem 1o keep no track of their ages, the women frequently wear woodcutters hatchets thrust in their girdles, their most cherished articles of adornment are earrings and a peculiar “head harness. 1 was informed that unmarried girls wear from twenty to thirty bralds which hang loose all around; mar- ricd women do their hair in a knet at the bunk of the head, covered with @ little brass cup. which is held in place by u harness of red or black aloth,” Mr. Wulsin writes “What front and side hair is not caught in the knot hangs loose over the checks and shoulders. The har- mess in question consists of a cloth band which goes around the head at the height of the temples and a cen- tral strip which lies on the top of the head, sewed to the first strip at the forchesd and back."

Other non-Chinese roum noted by Mr. Wulsin are the Alashan Mengols, who inhabix the desert norta of Kansu: the aforementioned Moslems, whose ' stronghold is in _western Kansu: Tibetans, both nomad and sedentary, found principslly around Kokonor Lake and in the southwest of the province, and the so-called Choni_Tibetans, who_ live along the Min Shan range on Kansu's southern border. Women's invasion of industry, easy divorce, and even “free lo are far from modern ideas, as the customs of the Kansy Tibetans show. “The women seem to do all the work; the men are idle at home,” Mr. Wulsin writea “In one place we visited the whole house seemed liv- ing because of our hostess, who was always on the run, smilingw-first up- stairs for fuel, then downstairs for cooking, to the valley for water and upstairs once wiore to watch us. She nureed her baby at any spare mo- very idle boarder. Monognmy Is Onstom. “Monogamy Is the nomad custom, but married people can separate at will. Some women prefer not to marry; marriage means looking after a husband, and if ‘their property is enough they can live the usual life of & nomad, bringing up any children they may have us a result of passing attachments." The Choni Tibetans retain their in- dividuality partly because they in- habit inaccessible mountains. At their capital, Choni, on the Tao River, lives Yang To Lee, hereditary Chi- nese ruler of forty-eight tribes of this people. He can levy taxes, quell ment, but the Chinese say of him, “He has the pig's head, but caunot find the door of the temple.” They imply that he is willing to give bribes to Keep his position, but too many officials expect them, and he eannot tell which deserves the largest. Mr. Wulsin's study of the province includes also extensive botanical and zoological observations. One tree he mentions, known locally as the ‘red | birch,” is' a boon to traders. It has a shining, brown, papery bark which peels off in large, thin sheets which are used by Tibetans and Chinese for wrapping butter and other food articles. AUTO FRAUD CHARGED.
