Industry Is pearl fishing, and it Is the

stay at home and do the housework.
From the age o f four girls are taught
to dive, and the craft has always been
Jealously kept In tbe women's'hands.
Recently some o f,th e men became
discontented and started to practice
diving with the Idea of themselves be

dreading the intensified competition,
ordered the men to discontinue their
diving, and as the men refused a boy
