England Perfecting Control
of Airplanes by Wireless
(By Associated Fiess)
LONDON, Mar. 12—Certain resi
dents of the south coast of England
were much astonished recently when
an air force flying machine fell into
the ocean and the authorities show
ed no undue anxiety about the fate
of the pilot who, it was assumed,
was aboard. After a while the air
force men calmly put out in a skiff
and towed the fallen plane to shore.
The secret then leaked out that the
machine had been without a pilot
and that the accident was brought
about by the plane passing beyond
the radius of the wireless control
ling force.
It was then learned for the first
time that the planes seen for many
weeks past circling in the air over
this territory had all been without
pilots; the control was by radio
from a shore station.

Tribes of Borneo Bury
Hatchet In Odd Ceremony
(By Associated Press)
THE HAGUE, Mar. 12.—Dispatch
es from Borneo. Dutch East Indies,
give interesting details of peace cere
mony between the different Dyak
tribes of the island. These clans have
been constantly fighting each other
for years, and have the reputation
of being ferocious and bloodthirsty
headhunters.
Some 4,600 Dyaks came to the gath
ering. There were present also a
vfew Dutch and British officers, who
witnessed curious war dances, songs
and prayers by medicine men. Finally
the head priest killed a pig by a
slow method and sprinkled its blood
over the multitude, pronouncing a
terrible curse upon anyone who
should presume to revive the inter
tribal quarrels.
J. E. Paxton of Sargent, Neb.,

This amount is more than his sal
ary for eight years. Investigations
come high, but seldom accomplish
anything of value.

Vienna Understudies to Get
Chance in Barber of Seville
(By Associated Press)
VIENNA, Mar. 13.—Understudies
and supers are to have a great
chance at the Vienna Burg Theater.
A performance of Beaumarchais’
“Barber of Seville’’ will be given for
charity in which all the leading parts
will be taken by persons who ordi
narily play very secondary roles in
which they seldom have more than
a single line to speak.
Figaro, one of the chief parts in
the performance, will be taken by
an actor who never before has been
entrusted with more than one short
sentence. Dramatic critics are dis
cussing the performance with great
eagerness and predicting that it
may result in giving the Vienna
stage a new star.
