Haiti Denounces Reports of Can- $ nibalistic Groups. 2 PORT AU PRINCE, Haiti (#) —Rep- fesentations have been made to the State Department at Washington, back- #d by indorsements from Americans and Bther foreigners resident in Haiti, #gainst tales of voodooistic cannibalism in this republic. These stories have been denounced Py government officials, press and pub- Yic as mere fantasy. Voodooism, they asert, exists only in mild form in a few remote villages, and there has been 0 authenticated case of cannibalism in e island since the early 60s. Z One of the most efficacious methods of overcoming the cult was the system of arresting the “bocors,” or “witeh tors,” dressing them in convict othes and putting them to work in ©hain gangs. The sight of the humili- Ation of these formerly dreaded persons faboring under the eye of an armed rde quickly reassured the poor coun- T people.

Hundreds See Display of O0ld Silver. LONDON (#)—An English butler's idea of a day off seems to be to attend an exhibition of old silver. Hundreds of the stately servitors took advantage of a half-rate for butlers recently at the Queen Charlotte’s loan exhibition ‘at Seaford house, the town home of Lord Howard de Walden. They listened intently to an expert who traced the romantic history of heavy pomanders and chains, of fanciful tazzas,. and of intricately traced por~ ringers No flicker of a well trained eyelash indicated that the gentlemen of the | up the place. housing project, on the lower East Side, | there is a story of social rehabilitation, which indicates that slums in their | worst aspects are rapidly eliminating themselves regardless of municipal aid. Noting that this latest project has| not yet incurred the old dependable comeback, “they'll put coal in the bath- tubs,” the reason for such an oversight | was sought among social workers and others. | “The coal-in-the-bathtub age has passed,” was the answer. “Ten years of steady employment and high wages, with a checking of immigration, giving big cities a chance to get caught up on their housekeeping, have had an edu- | cational effect, which ‘has been more important in the renovation of ded‘ | giviricts than either city planning or soclal service work. Economic forces have been working with us, rather than against us. | People Re-educate Themselves. | “The millentum is a long way off and | there is still plenty of dirt and confu- | sion in the crowded districts, but on the | whole, the ‘under-privileged’ peoples, as we used to call them, are re-educating themselves, and keeping pace with their new opportunities. It is true that many model housing projects have failed in the past because of the low standards of behavior in_ their neighborhoods, but more recent developments have shown that the submerged man ‘on the make is quite a different person from his predecessor of a few years back. Im-| migrants have learned to read, and un- | | questionably the mewspaper advertising | emphasis on sanitation, cleanliness and | lthlm and crafts of civilized living | has been a termendous stimulus to | higher personal standards.” | lgA! .P;" of substantiating evidence, | this' observer recalls-the case of a family | saved by a piano lamp. Twelve years | ago this family was a wreck in & de- | caying tenement in Hester street. There | were seven children. The father could | find no work. The mother was help- | ess. | The father finally got work as a sand-hog. It was a punishing job, but the pay was $12 a day—affiuence. With | his first pay check, he bought a huge piano lamp. It was almost as big as | a bup tent and trimmed with beads. | ribbons, bangles and everything else which could be crowded in. | The neghbors came in to marvel and | the tired and hopeless mother acquired new social ‘distinction. She appointed | the oldest of the children as head | sweeper and they started in cleaning The pay check piled up and pretty | soon there was a highly chromatic | rug to go with the piano lamp. The | children were learning to read and they began to tip the parents to all sorts of little tricks for keeping things | ship-shave. A shiny dining room set came along soon afterward and the renovation spread all over the house. The" father crawled up out of - the caissons and now has work above ground. The children are all at school, except two who have finished and found work. The piano lamp did the busi- ness where the social workers had failed. Incidentally, years afterward, a plano came along to go with the lamp and the youngest of the little ones is learning to play. Model Tenements Planned. Mayor Walker has strongly indicated that John D. Rockefeller, jr., and sev- eral other philanthropists will form a limited dividend corporation for the erection of the model tenements in a large area in the most congested | district of the East.Side. The land.| would be leased by the city to the cor- | poration for 99 years, a method which is being increasingly followed in many lines of semi-public development here, such as the churches, which transform lving their services free on various eouncil and public committees. their buildings into apartment hotels thrqugh an engineering corporation.
