BY THOMAS R. HENRY, Teukwuneke is the supreme god of more than 6,000,000 human beings. This powerful primitive deity, who supposedly controls the destinies of a thickly populated land along the South- ern Niger, with towns of from 15,000 to 20.000 population, is introduced to the Christian world in s report just made to the Catholic Anthropological | Conference at Catholic University here by Rev. William E. O'Donnell. a missionary for five years among the 's people. vy with these Negroes he missionary the concept of Tcukwuneke, whom the natives consider as “all good and the maker of all things.” If anything, he is too great—so far above mundane in- | terests that it 1s useless to bother about him in matters of conduct. “Under Tcukwuneke,” the missionary reports to the conference, “are both good and evil supernatural beings. Tcukwuneke and the good spirits are beneficent and will do no harm. Hence the natives do not bother much about them. Neither prayer nor sacrifice is offered to Tcukwuneke, even in great crises or in cases of grave danger. But the evil spirits are invoked lest they do harm to one, or so that they will do harm to one's enemies. Protection Over People. “Some of the good spirits exercise a protective guardianship over the people, there being one or more for each family and each village. There is less common belief in individual guardian spirits. Such a personal pro- tector will travel around with the in- dividual, perched on his left shoulder. Wooden' images are made to represent spirits. Worship is paid, not to these idols as such, but to the spirits that hover around the image. In former times, about once a year, a young girl |used to be sacrificed as a scapegoat. The victim chosen was struck, kicked, evil attaching to the striker was taken away. The girl finally was flung into the Niger." Secret societies, according to the re- port published in the official bulletin of the conference, play a large part in the life of this people. Masked men dance and are supposed to be spirits. “On one occasion to my knowledge,” the missionary reports, “a white man who saw a masked dancer beating some boys with a stick wrested it away and flogged him severely with it. The dancer took the beating without a whimper and at the end danced away, seemingly none the worse. Resuit: The white men lost prestige and the | dancer gained because the people | agreed that he was a spirit and flog- ging could not hurt him. “The Ibo believe in life after death.

It's that rigid, unalterable efficiency of operation that appeals to experienced shoppers at Piggly Wiggly. One often hears this remark: “I really can’t explain it, but there's just something appealing about Piggly Wiggly that | don’t find in any other type of store. Perhaps you feel the same way about it. If we were asked to explain, we would say, “Merit, madam, just an improved sytem of food service...modernized for your convenience.” The preference for Piggly Wiggly exemplified by several million regular patrons is evidence conclu- sive.

They did not care to undertake Apart from this they faced death with the greatest composure. “The next world is seemingly under things.

A big fu- neral will go far to promote your welfare, in the future life. In olden days slaves and sometimes wives were killed at the funeral of a chief.” Development of Children. ‘The missionary's report gives curious sidelights on the customs of this primi- tive people, who, he estimates, number between 6,000,000 and 12,000,000. They dren, as follows: “The infant is placed sprawling on the ground, face up. A gourd of water is held above, 3 feet up from the child and the water is poured into the open mouth of the infant, who gurgles and splutters under the treatment. This is believed to promote the infant's growth and to be especially good for the lungs. “There is little intoxication among ordinary natives. The older chiefs drink a good deal of European gin. The old men indulge in much pal wine drinking. When fresh it is sweet and innocuous. ~ After 24 hours it is as strong as whiskey. “Blood revenge prevalls. If you kill, even by accident, your life is forfeit. Buicide does not occur, apart from the native judicial custom of giving a con- demned man a rope with which he must hang himself on a tree. Polygamy is prevelent and is largely » matter of prestige and profit. Wives are eco- nomic assets. They do not work much in the fields but engage in barter. ‘What a wife earns through barter goes to her husband. If a man saves money he is able to invest it by purchasing an additional wife.” CHICAGOAN CONVICTED IN MILK FUND FRAUD Less Than 30 Per Cent of Collec- tions Used for Children, Court Told in U. §. Mails Case. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, March 11.—Because less than 30 per cent of charity funds in his organization collected went for the infants’ milk fund he purported to aid, Jacob Karchner was convicted of using the mails to defraud in United States District Court yesterday. Karchner formerly operated the Chi- cago infants’ free milk depot and had a large staff of solicitors who collected more than $200 a week for charity last Summer, Government, evidence showed. More than 70 per cent of the receipts, according to testimony, went for salaries and expenses of Karchner and his stafr. He faces a maximum possible sen- tence of five years' imprisonment. MUSICIANS SHOULD WED OWN KIND, SINGER SAYS Talented Wife of Ottorino Res- pighi, Great Italian Maestro, Tells of Happy 13 Years. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, March 11.—Musicians should marry musicians in the opinion of Signora Elsa Respighl, who was an operatic singer before she married a composer. She said so yesterday in telling of the happiness of 13 years of matri- mony with Ottorino Respighi, Italy's greatest modern ‘“maestro,” who has come to the United States for the world remiere of the Tryptich “Maria giziaca,” in the Cammegie Hall next Wednesday night. As reasons for her belief she re- marked, “they (musicians) are more sympathetic toward each other, there is more mutal understanding.” WOMAN SLAIN, MAN HURT AFTER SHOOTING DEPUTY Officer’s Injuries Slight in Battle With Pair in Mountains of California. By the Assoclated Press. SAN JOSE, Calif, March 11.—A run- ning gun fight in the mountains 15 miles west of San Jose yesterday proved fatal to an unidentified woman and brought serious wounds to her male companion and slight injury to a dep- uty sheriff. ‘The woman and her companion, who gave his name as J. B. Williams, were sought by Ed Lowell and Earl Hamil- ton, deputy sheriffs, on suspicion they were concerned in the wounding of Policeman Gene Keane in San Fran- clsco Sunday night. Finding the couple camped beside a mountain road, the oficers attempted to question them. The man shot Wil- Ulol;lls four ltr:hes and fled in an auto- mobile with the woman. ch nands cornered = Rigitives Jater in the brosh”and R0CERY Co X, Wl vy ‘\”,lw; e A . - AND OPERATING 2 = > = SANICO et ; ¥ COFFEE (== » — q° NI 2 00 COFEFE - SANICO Low Price Laers Where Quality Counts Over twenty years of service to Washington home- makers ... over twenty years of strict adherence to our motto: Low Price Leaders—W here Quality Counts.
