BY G. M. DYOTT. According to universal custom the Anauquas _village was not near the | river. Indians have a natural avcrsion to planking theniselves down on high- ways where enemies can find them The suitability of the ground for grow- ing mandioca determines the locality of these inland villages, likewise the proximity of such forest products as piqui, which the Indians consume in |large quantities during the season that | the fruit matures. | "1t was a matter of two and a half | hours to walk through the jungle before we reached the Anauquas village. The trail was good; we traversed open coun- try, skirted marshes and ended in an | open spot cn the further side of a wide | belt of timber. Bill and Jerry reluctantly remained to guard camp while Jack and Sam | went with me. We were armed with | cameras tg take all the photos we could get if the opportunity presented itself. About 20 Indians accompanied us. As we neared their village several of them ran ahead to announce our arrival. When least expecting it we came upon a group of seven huts built around an open space clear of vegetation. The roofs of the dwellings were heavily thatched with palm leaves and extended 1) clear down to the ground with little /) or no walls, Each had two doors, one i = opening on to the clearing, the other giving access to the jungle behind. As al M th we drew near swarms of shouting brown OTNEr | sigures came crowding out of the huts, evidently very excited at the advent of strangers. Go to Chief's House. ‘We were plloted to the house of the chief. His name was Aloique, a short, stocky fellow of muscular build with small eyes that had an unpleasant, shifty expression. His coarse, black hair was cut after the manner of the other men, with the usual circular patch on the top of the head. There was nothing about his appearance to indicate he differed in any respect to other members of the tribe. Aloique invited us all to be seated, not in the cool shade of his house, but on a log which occupied the middle of the public square around which the houses were arranged. A large palm leaf mat was unrolled on the ground upon which many of the Indians u&uuted. Others swarmed about us standing or crouch- ing on the dry sandy soil while a bril- liant sun blazed down upon us. Con- versation through a Baikari Indian who knew something of the Ansuqua lan- was rather limited and we found it possible to do almost as well by means of signs. One topic of common interest which our friends seemed anxious to discuss was their family relations. Every man wanted to acquaint us with his own children. The women were equally anxious to claim their own. While I sat conversing in a limited sense, but up for the deficiency by handing out a few trinkets, Jack and Sam tried to get photographs of the extraordinary scenes about us. It was not easy because a camera and tripod were such a curiosity to these people. They clustered about the instrument and hindered the work. Patterns Painted on Bodies. Physically, the Anauquas were a fine looking lot. They were dark brown in is Proud, Now Don’t allow your child to remain weakened or run-down for any length of time. In that condition, children are so easily attacked by the millions of tiny germs that are seething and swarming around us. And it's so easy to get the bilious, headachy, constipated, feverish, cross, fretful, puny, underweight ones back into condition, with a hearty appetite, rosy cheeks and abundant energy, by using a purely vegetable product which hysicians have endorsed for over years. Children love the rich, fruity taste of California Fig Syrup and it acts almost like magic to regu- late their little bowels and stom- achs. It gives these organs tone and strength so they continue to act as Nature intends them to do and you don’t have to keep dosing your child. Four million bottles used a year and the enthusiastic words of mothers everywhere prove it gives satisfaction. Another Washington mother, Mrs. R. W. Harper, 1467 Irving St., says: “My little daughter, Bootsie, suffered terribly from constipation until she got very weak, run-down and underweight. ‘I gave her Cal- ifornia Fig Syrup and in just a little while she was eating heartily and gaining weight. Soon she was her bright, normal self again.” Alwais ask for California Fig Syrup by the full name to avoi substitutes. s e CALIX the manner of most savage tribes.

The children were alert, quite ready to play and as full of jokes as their parents. Everything went along swimmingly. Had it not been for the constant de- mand for knives and clothing, etc., and the necessity for our refusing to part with our own essions, we would have found our visit most enjoyable. They seemed to think that no man should require more than one garment. If you wore a coat, then there was no need to wear a shirt beneath it, and it was your duty to give one of the two away. During the height of conversation Aloique’s wife squirmed her way into the group, carrying her youngest son, an infant about 2 years old, in her arms. I had been distributing some souve- nirs in the shape of triangular brass tags bearing the letters “G. M. D.” She wanted to’ procure one for her son. The child had several ornaments hanging about its neck, and at the end of one string dangled a small brass plate, oval in shape, bearing the words “W. 8. silver and Company, King Willlams, Eastcheap, London.” This was a nameplate which must have been removed from some of Faw- cett's baggage. Something to Think About. How had the child got it? That gave me something to think about, but I was to get a greater surprise a few mo- ments later, when I stumbled against something hard inside Aloique’s maloca, On closer inspection it turned out to be a small metal trunk, similar to that used by English army officers in the Orient. There could be no mistaking it. I have seen too many of them in my life to have any doubts. The box could have belonged to no one clse but Col. Fawcett, I wanted to make immediate ine quiries how Aloique came to have Col. Fawcett’s trunk. It was not possible to approach the subject without raising suspicions, so I awaited a more favor- able opportunity. Jack had secured a number of pho- tographs of interest outside and had decided to make a few pictures of the interior of the maloca. It was very Gorgeous' 18-kt. white gold of a new blossom design.

Friend- ly relations had now been established and we made the proposal to Aloique. But he would not hear of the machine being brought inside. He became quite irritated at the mere suggestion, and it looked as if we had made a blunder. Apparatus Rigged Up. We were on good terms with the rest of the household. During Aloique’s ab- sence we rigged up the apparatus. The flare was placed in a convenient posi- tion and the camera trained on a typi- cal domestic scene, showing men and women in their hammocks. When all was ready Jack applied his match and the flare blazed. The Indians let forth one shriek of dismay and streaked out of the narrow doorway as if the devil himself was at their heels. Needless These flares give a tremendously powerful lght. They also generate clouds of white smoke. The sight of this pouring out of the maloca and the running Indians aroused the entire vil- lage, which thought the place was on fire. When all was over but the shout- ing, Aloique turned up. He seemed ready to kill any one in sight. Luckily, we had realized the seriousness of the situation and had already started some of the Indians laughing at the con- fusion. In this manner peace was re- | stored before any harm resulted. 5 One can never tell how Indians will | take such things, and if surprises are going to be sprung it is always advis- able to do so with the utmost caution. I had not expected a stampede to fol- | low, and when I witnessed the excite- ment which ensued I regretted my in- | discretion. Indians Impressed. The affair took a curious turn. A little later an Indian implored me to come over to his house and repeat the performance for the special benefit of his family. We were more than will- ing to do so, and a good picture re- sulted. Incidentally, it impressed the Indians with our powers, While all this was in progress, I got talking with the head of the household, 3372 10c Down 38_7§ 10c Down A genuine Diamond, set in an 18-kt. white gold mounting.

He told me a considerable story, most of it quite unintelligible, but it was obviously something of interest. ‘With patience I arrived at the im- portant fact that he, Cabuzala, with Aloique, two women and two young men—the last being doubtful—had ac- companied Fawcett on a day’s march to the east of the Kuluene River, car- rying farinha and other stores. ‘Without losing time, I suggested that the same men accompany me to the Kuluene and beyond.

Village Dark, Man Flogged. As the result of a beating given by a band of villagers near Valencia, Spain, the porter of the local power station is suffering from 25 wounds and an attack of pneumonia. Failure of the electric light plant during a festival plunged the village into darkness. The porter was accused of turning out the lights in spite, and was taken to a neighboring wood where he was tied to a tree, then belabored with knotted clubs. is a Preseription for Colds, Grippe, Flu, Dengue, Bilious Fever and Malaria It is the most speedy remedy known THE EVENING 'STAR, WASHINGTON, D.
