TRIBE OF GYPSIES HAS GOLD TREASURE PORUMBACDL do JOS. Ruma nia (AP) A strange tribe of gypsies nas moved in among the thousands of that race wh have been, pitching their tents on the banks of the river Alt for centur ies, i Such events are common en ough; the tribes come and go. The latest arrivals, however, were marked by the fact that they brought with them a tribal treas ure in the shape of golden bowls and tankards, hammered from the pure metal and each marked bv the smith who made it. Experts who have been privi leged to see the vessels declare that they are at least four cen turies old. It is thought that they came from India. Only a few families comnrlse the treasure-owning tribe. They consider their heirlooms as al most sacred and permit strangers to see them only as a special privilege. Rumania has about 300.000 gypsies within their present bor ders, many thousands having been added to her domain when the boundaries of the countrv were extended after the World war. Most of them profess the Ortho dox faith and they celebrate all the feasts of the church with great gusto.

In the merchandising of a ham sandwich or hot-water bottle in this land of mathematical and scientific achievement It is not necessary to hurl long columns of facts at the prospective purchaser. Nor is it necessary to punch him between the eyes with a slogan. One gets better results by tossing him a nice round rhyme. Hanging outside a downtown cafe here Is a sign which might In some American city read "Re freshments for the Discriminat ing." But this being Berlin, what the sign says Is: "Step a little nearer! Here's the Beer House Dreher." And it is remarkable to observe how many people follow the sug gestion. A large manufacturer of writ ing paper jollies his public along with: "Write to me or write to her, "But write it on M-K paper." The underground trains here are full of rhymes extolling rival brands of shoe-polish. One of them, freely translated, confesses that: "Before I heard of shoe-paste Kane Shoe-polishing gave me a pain; But now I must admit it's fun To start a task so quickly done."

Even safety-first ideas are sold to the public on the pound-It-in-with-poetry plan. Placards dis played in the street cars arge parents to: -. "Warn the child of actions rash; Save him from a traffic crash." As for vendors of women's wear, scan this doggerel: "In this year's styles the hips are bigger. Back again to the feminine figger!" So far the bards of commerce have net gone in for free verse. When they do they'll probably form a commercial and solemnly adpot the slogan: Jfus It With Poems!"

POPE SPURS BIB FOR WORLD SESSION VOODOO DRUMS OF VATICAN CITY (AP) Plans for the Eucharistic Congress at Carthage and Tunis, beginning May 7 and to which thousands of Americana will go In specially chartered ships, emphasize the fact that Pope Pius XI is the prime move of these gatherings of Roman Catholics. The United States got an idea of an eucharistic congress from the one in Chicago in 1926, when scores of thousands from all countries of the world flocked to that city to pay their homage to the sacrament. When Cardinal Achille Ratti in 1922 ascended the throne of St. Peter as Pius XI, the eucharistic congresses had been Interrupted for eight years by the World War and its aftermath. His predeces sor, Benedict XV, Just before dy ing, decided that the congresses onght to be resumed. But it re mained for Pius XI to put this de cision into effect. He personally opened his first eucharistic congress, held in Rome a few months after his corona tlon. The next biennial gathering took place in Amsterdam and drew from the pontiff a glowing message ofencouragement. But the Chicago congress ex cited his heartiest appreciation He declared it an unparalleled manifestation of faith and that the "event gives place to no trl nmph which has come to the church in its twenty centuries of existence." The pope showed a similar en thusiasm for the congress of 1928 at Sydney, Australia, and now is zealously spurring preparations for the gathering in. Africa. In urg ing Italians to send an enormous delegation, he has cited the fact that ships have been chartered at both Baltimore and New York to carry Americans to Carthage. HAITI STILL HEARD By HAROLD P. BRAMAN (Associated Press Staff Writer) PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) Voodooism in Haiti is fast disintegrating before the march of civilization. Americans, here since 1915 when the occupation of the island republic began, a largely respon sible for the "partial wiping out. of the cult worship brought here from Africa, and the prediction is made even by "Haitians that un less voodoo ceremonies are com mercialized for the tourist, the rites are doomed to extinction. Roads, education, airplanes and energetic activity of churches have made such inroads on the mjstlc rites that the cult worship pers are found now only in the remote recesses of the mountains, which cross and recross Haiti from all angles. Moreover, the American marines have silenced many of the voodoo drums. The visitor to the republic may, if he or -she is lucky In native ac quaintances, be able to witness what is called a Congo dance, a form of voodooism. Rut few white men ever have witnessed the full rites of the emotjonal bush blacks, carried out to the limit with human sacrifices. A score of years ago a large numDer or the population had an interest "or were tf-A -nrtiM. pants in voodooism as a sort of re ligion. The educated classes had nothing to do with the en It hut even today they embrace only a tenth of the population of 2,500.- ouu. More than .90 per cent of the population still is termed illiter ate by well informed observers, but education is being pushed constantly among the hundreds of thousands who are unable to read and know only a limited number of Creole words to use in speech. American officials and educa ted Haitians hope they can wipe out voodooism altogether. The admission is made by them, how ever, that the peasants have so little entertainment, a substitute of a more wh'olesome nature may be necessary before the dances, at least, are stopped. - Though seeking fun mostly in cock fights and imbibing an "un tamed" alcoholic drink called clairine on Sunday, the Haitian malee peasant still likes an occa sional Congo dance, usually on Saturday night, to give vent to his emotionalism.
