ar FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1929 ary Now Wife of Black Paris, Sept. 20--Amid the thump: ing of drums in the devil bush of a tril camp deep in the forests of Liberia, "Ma" Brown, 55 widow of 'a Canadian missionary, a white woman who' for 30 years has been married to a black chief of an African. tribe, has been knighted by the Liberian government for supreme bravery. "Ma" Brown went native upon the death of her husband. She has four children by her black husband, and around her hut now toddle her grandchildren, many of them blonde: haired, and almost white. Tos the tribe, "Ma" Brown has been a loyal and faithful "medicine man" curing ills more by her knowledge of the curative powers of plants and drugs than by evil mutterings, altho at times she does resort to witchery, She is feared by the superstitious na- tives and reigns almost as a queen over thousands of blacks. Since the American rubber inter. ests moved into Liberia to plant 1,. 000,000 acres With rubber trees, "Ma" Brown has become wealthy, She started a general store and caters in fruits, fowl and fresh bread to the Americans clearing the forest with thousands of workers, "Ma" was knighted for saving the Liberian army from almost certain extinction in a forest ambush.

"Ma" Brown has no regret at the turn her life has taken. She has never been back to Canada since she margied her black husband, and she bas no desire to go. She knows of the ways of the modern world and contends that she could raise her daughters' better in Liberia than in America. ~ Several: times she has been near death, ; Once a knife was at - her throat.

Like Kipling's liner, this schooner, "she's a lady," and the hardy little sailors that "man" her are ladies too. For she is the first training ship for gisls that cver put to sea, and the students are learning practical sea- manship in order to get genuine mas- ters' licenses. The Algcyon, which has been an- chored off 'this popular summer re- sort, has given international visitors another dndication'of what modern girls cap do when free of their old feminine trappings and conventions. Women are already flying airplanes in competition with men, and their sisters soon will be seen pacing the bridges of ocean steamers. Viewed With Alarm But what, the sea dogs arc asking, is to become of 'the fine old swash- buckling traditions if women are. to take up navigation?

Imagine a little sprite of a girl = holding a wheel against a full gale! 5, Maybe they.could mend ripped can- yas, these women: sailors. Probably they'd be'all sight in the ship's gal- ley. But there's a lot of difference between a belaying 'pin. and a rolling pin. . The Aleyon is a threc-mastet top- sail schooner of 1,660 tons, fitted out as a school ship by Captain Hebert, physical culture professor who before he was ted the Athletic College t' Rheifigs, "My first idea was that for active and outdoor life for girls, a ship afloat offered the best possibilities for the development of the physique," he said, "My girl pupils like the jife so well that they wanted to follow it up and train with the masters' ticket as a goal. I therefore converted the Aleyon into a typical training ship, Today the duties of seamanship are rigorously taught by experienced sail- assimilated by th irk students, y tae "No girls under 16 are admitted for training, 'They must be of good family'and have passed a medical ex- amination 16 prove that their duties will not be too arduous for them. The school is international and pupils other than those of French birth arc cligible for admission. Full Training The girls are called upon to do all the work of men who train in sea- manship. They swab the decks as well as learn navigation. The boat is divided into three parts. In the poop are the quarters arranged for Cap- tain and Mme, Hebert. The foc'stle is reserved for the crew, and the en- tire 'midships' has been adapted for the use of the pupils, Two-berth ca- bins line each side of the saloon, but there are regulation hammocks for those who prefer them and wish thoroughly to live the sailor's life. The captain's table is served from the ship's galley, for Captain Hebert probably thinks that he cannot take too many chances on the cooking of his ultra-modern girl students. The students' galley, however, is entirely managed by themselves. When they are in port they do all the marketing. The Alcyon sets sail on a voyage twice a month, Before leaving, the girls are required to estimate what they will need from the shipchandler accordingly. These trips take them to some of the English ports or for a short cruise in the: Atlantic, and while at sea the pu- pils are required to do the duties of seamen. They have a bo'sun and must obey her orders. They futl and unfurl sail, take soundings, make their 'position on the chart, lay the { {course and keep a log and take turns {{at night watches. It's great fun, they all say, Many have become expert at climbing rig- ging and arc mot'afraid to stand on the top-gallant yards while the ship is under sail.

DETECT AEROPLANE FLYING AT NIGHT Inventor Claims He Can Tell Exactly Where it is Located Hermonville-les-Rheims, France, -- A French inventor claims to have solved the problem of detecting the approach of an aeroplane at night. A. Van Hollebeke says his invention not only does that, but also locates it. It is accomplished, he says, by means of mechanism formed of two parts, one raised 400 yards high by means of an observation balloon, and the other fixed on the ground. The raised mechanism consists of a hollow, revolving drum, into one side of which is fixed a concave sound-re- flector. Revolving at 100 turns a minute, this drum is synchronized with a revolving plate fixed to the mechanism on the ground, and as the sound-reflector is turned towards the approaching aeroplane the exact die rection is indicated at each gevolu- tion, Another mechanism, whose working is a secret indicates the distance away of the aeroplane. The inventor claims that a plane.can be defected 20 minutes before reaching a city and its height and direction 80' exactly, known as to put it in time of war at the mercy of a few shots from an anti-aircraft gun, A GREAT WALKER .

Center point of the clash be- tween Jews and Arabs over right of religious worship, the Wailin Wall marks the nucleus of fight- ing which has spread through the Jewish quarter. For the Moslem, the rocky bar- rier, towering 60 feet, is a retain- ing wall enclosing the dome of the rock, Mohammedan shrine and most sacred spot in the city, For the Jew it is a buttress of Solom- on's Temple, erected a thousand years before Christ, and therefore a sacred heritage. During long years of Mohammedan dominion it was the nearest part of the sacred inclosure which a Jew dared ap- proach, In the narrow alley, between the lofty wall and low enclosure form- bin houses, Jews have since the middle ages. A desolate chant. is repeated again and again as, on Friday af- ternoons. and Saturdays, the Jews meet fo wall for 'the glories of the past, "Because of the palace that lies desolate", a self appointed. leader recites and the lamenters join in with the refrain, "We sit in soli- tude and weep."

All the experts agree Leblanc is joined by an internationai group of authorities on skin care, all of whom advocate Palmolive as the best way to keep the skin health- fully radiant, glowing with under-the-surface color and life.
