Text Appearing Before Image:
A VILI.ACK. STKKKT IN IlM.Mii HI MHOLDT BAY. NEW GUINEAThe women roll their curls with mud and wear many earrings. They are not allowed touse canoes with outriggers, as they might try to escape. No canoe without an outriggercould leave the sheltered bay without capsizing. The men frequently get their wives byraiding neighboring villages. The women consequently would run away if they got a chance.— Photo by Thomas Barbour, Harvard University. (16) ^=^ SCENES FROM EVERY LAND ^:^^

THE END VIEW OF A COMMUNAL ■LONG HOUSE■ NKAK DOHEV. NEW-GUINEAThese great turtle-back houses shelter from 8(1 to 100 people. They eat andsleep generally in a long corridor, which runs lengthwise through the building, while on eachside lead off small rooms, in which private belongings of each family are stored. The menlounge regularly on the front piazza, often lying prone with spear or bow and arrow ready forany fish which may happen by. The people show most wonderful skill in striking or shootinginto water; they seem to be able to allow for the refraction to a nicety. The decoration onthe end shows the space for the .separate rooms. One wonders how it is possible to use thebridge; the poles roll about and there is no hand rail; still it is done, and even by youngchildren.— Pholo by Thomas Barbour, Harvard Iliirersity.
