heard of the Mohmands, but to Eng
land It means one more chapter in
a pacification campaign that has
lasted for nearly 100 years." says a
bulletin from the headquarters of
the National Geographic society.
Chief Trouble-Mnkers
The Mohmands, a tribe of the
Afghan border hilt men, have been
among the chief trouble-makers for
England in the region ever since the
British conquest of India.
'In this rugged mountain country,
where the northern tip of India
thrusts up toward Russia between
primitive Afghanistan and mysterious
Tibet, British and native Indian
forces have carried on periodical cam
paigns against the Mohmands and
other troublesome tribesmen since
the middle of the last century.
"It was from these little border
campaigns that Rudyard Kipling
gathered much of the material for
his poems about life among the
British soldiers in India; and today
they are waged In jnuch the same
setting as when Kipling wrote.
"The Mohmands are part of the
sPathan or Afghan people, living in
the hill country along the frontier
between India and Afghanistan. In
this region also live the Afrtdta.
Wazlrls, Orakzals. Sivatts. and Ba
Jourls. Part of their territory Is
ruled by the king of Afghanistan,
but most of It Is attached, loosely
at least, to British Jurisdiction.
"The Mohmand territory covers
about 1.200 squart miles of hilly
country northwest of Peshawar, cap
ital and chief city of the northwest
frontier province of India. Tht reg
ion is hot and almost treeless, with
the hills covered by a low scrub
growth of stunted palms and coarse
grass.
Near Khyber Pass
"When the rains fall in the Moh
mand territory the crops fail also,
and many of the persistent raids of
the tribesmen upon British territory
have been due to poverty as much
as to natural love of fighting. There
Is now little Income from the pas
sage of caravans, for the former
trade routes through the Mohmand
country have been less used since
the opening of the Khyber pass,
world-famous hlohwav of commerce
between India and Afghanistan.
"The Mohmands are Inferior In
physique to their native neighbors,
the Afrldis and Shlmwarls, because
of the heat and the unheal th fulness
of the river lowlands of their coun
try; but they are known for their
bravery and can muster several
thousand fighting men.
"Like most of the Afghan border
tribes the Mohmands are Mohamme
dans and have fought at least one
Jehad, or 'holy war, against the
British. The population of the north
west frontier province of India Is
92 per cent Moslem, a larger pro
portion than in any other Indian
province.
"Peshawar, main base of the Brit
ish forces operating against the Moh
mands, is roughly about the size of
Trenton. N. J. It is on the direct
route that leads through the Khyber
pass to Kabul, capital of Afghanistan,
200 miles away. Surrounded by a
brick and mud wall, Peshawar teems
with all the tribes and races of
northern India, who flock into its
huge markets to trade everything
from rich Bokhara carpets to fruit
and grain. Near the city a large per
manent garrison of British and In
dian troops is stationed."

His collection of miniature furni
ture includes a table, six chairs, an

stuffed chairs and tables with sliding
drawers. Enough to outfit a minia
ture home.
Of his miniature buildings one In
certain a cow barn Is his favorite.
It Is built to scale and complete In
every detail, with 28 workable stanch
ions, grain bins with removable front
boards. Doors and windows work per
fectly, and throughout the structure
every beam and rafter Is braced ex
actly as a large barn. He says he
spent a year and a half completing
this creation.
Several guns of different makes
are Included among his collection.
Sea Disaster Survivor
Gives Thrilling Story
Of Rescue From Rock
(The following eye witness account of the sinking of the British freight
er Silverhazel and the rescue of its crew and passengers after four days
on a wave swept rock in the Pacific was written for the Associated Ptess
by Mrs. Winifred Scott Blssinger, former San Francisco newspaper woman,
who was returning to Manila on tht Silverhazel. Three sailors were cited
for their heroism in rescuing her.)

PICKUP
AND MARRIAGE GAIN
LINKED IN El
LONDON (UP) Cupid is winning
in his battle with depression. Mar
riages are oh the boom. Eight persons
are marrying for every seven a year
ngo. Men and women both are marry
ing younger. Widows are remarrying
at the rate of 10.000 a year.
With more than 2.000 brides and
bridegrooms going to the attar dally,
sociologists believe that the Improve
ment is due to improved industrial
conditions and better housing facili
ties. This latter consideration no
longer provides the obstacle that It
did a few years ago. Anyone with a
reasonably certain Job can find
means of financing a small house In
stead of living with the "in-laws."
A modern tendency, however. Is for
wives 'to hold positions longer than
hitherto. In soma cases they earn
nearly as much as their husbands.
The feeling is that a littlo nest egg
built up today will come In handy
In future years. This tendency to go
on working has one bad feature in
that it is causing a fall la the birthrate.

SURVEY SIRE
NEED OE
FOR EMPLOYMENT
KEW YORK (UP) An appalling
lack of vocational training as one of
the basic causes of unemployment Is
perhaps the most significant fact re
vealed by one of the most unusual
national surveys Just completed.
The 250.000 Camp Fire Girls of the
country collected data on unemploy
ment, relief, public works needs and
projects and the requisites for bet
ter citizenship. This Is believed to be
one of the first times in history that
a large segment of the nation's
womanhood between the ages of 14
and 20 has been given the opportun
Ity to express its opinions on the
most vital problems of the day.
The survey involved a careful
study of local city governments
throughout the country and a fairly
comprehensive grasp of local relief
plans and objectives. But the girls
did not stop here. They went further,
making suggestions for needed public
works, such as buildings, and parks,
even making models to scale of these.
Also, they worked out careful and
comprehensive budgets on feeding a
family of four on as a week In the
south and 7 to C10 per week In the
north, where food prices are higher.
Results of the survey were submit
ted first to Mrs. Franklin D. Roose
velt who said In part:
"I think the girls who did this sur
vey did a remarkably good Job. In
meeting this need they are assets to
their communlticB.'V
So careful and significant Is the
survey considered, that it Is planned
to submit the results to the Federal
Oovernment as Informational aid In
relief work.

By Mrs. Winifred Scott BKMngrr
Written for the Associated Press
MANILA. Nov. 15. yJP) I was In
bed when the Stlverhnzcl grounded.
Saturday. There was a scrnping
sound, a little shock and then five
blasts of the whistle sounded.
George, my husband, and I went to
the foredeck. We were there when
about two thirds of the ship broke
away. Before it sank attempts were
made to launch two lifeboats. Waves
smashed them.
I could see several Islands, also a
lighthouse a half mile away.
All Saturday and Saturday night
we remained on our part of the ship,
mostly lying on the deck. Saturday
night two ships failed to respond to
our flares.
Plenty of ninmly
We opened cans of salmon or milk,
or ate candy bnrs. Rain was our only
drinking water but we had plenty of
brandy.
Chief Engineer F. J. Clayton sang
for us with a Scottish burr. We Join
ed him but were silenced when extra
big waves crashed aboard the wreck.
Later we sang again. We never were in
panic, and as far as I know, nobody
prayed.
Sunday Captain H. A. Lennard
reached the rock twelve feet away on
a cargo boom. Later the breeches
buoy was rigged up and we all went
to the rock which was about thirty
feet long.
We stayed In small tents made
from tarpaulins. Sometimes we were
doused with spray and rain.
Ship Stglits Wreck
Sunday night two ships again fail
ed to respond to our flares.
Early Monday an interlsland motor
ship, the Governor Taft. turned her
searchlights on the wreck. We cheer
ed wildly. Soon afterwards the Japan
ese freighter Chicago Maru arrived.
Tuesday morning when the des
troyer Peary arrived, there were six
ships hanging around but all failed
repeatedly to get boats or a line to
us.
When a big wave broke over the
rock Tuesday, the captain decided we
had better return to the wreckage.
Then the crew started building rafts
rrom the lumber in the dcckload.
One raft broke away Tuesday
night. Three Lascar seamen Jumped
Into the water, swam to It and climb
ed aboard. When the raft carried
them towards the ships Instead of
toward the high cliffs of San Bernar
dino Island on which the lighthouse
was situated, we were encouraged. We
decided to try to escape by rafts Wed
nesday morning.
Raft Breaks Loose
Sixteen officers and Third Officer
Smith went first. Thirty one others
were preparing to leave when the raft
broke looso and the officers shouted
for everybody to go over.
, We Jumped about twenty feet Into
the water. Nine swam to the raft and
the rest got hold of planks. George
reached the raft and I clung to a
plank.
I never could have made It If Sea
men o. Harding and H. A. Matthew
son and Boatswain Mate- ponder had
not helped me. I was In the water
about 25 minutes and was unconsci
ous at the end.

TOURIST FLOW TO
WEST IS CALLED
SACRAMENTO. Calif. ( CP) Migra
tion of tourists and unemploed to
California has Increased so much
during the past several months that
authorities are undecided whether
the heavy flow Is the result of re
turning prosperity or Just further
evidence that people would rather
starve in sunshine than in snow.
State officials in the department of
motor vehicles Insist It is a sign of
Improved conditions. While a year
ago they blamed the Increase on Up
ton Sinclair. Epic-Democratic candi
date for governor, because of the
publicity given his "production for
use' plan to relieve unemployment,
this year they labeled it "a prosper
ous tourist crop."
Non-resident permits were issued
for 111.843 vehicles during the first
eight months of this year, compared
with only 61,444 during the corres- i
ponding period of 1034, when "hordes
of unemployed" were supposed to be
pouring into the stole In answer to
Sinclair's promise to end poverty.
During the entire 12 months of
1934, only 98,256 permits were Is
sued. July was the heaviest tourist month
this year, 23.661 visiting cars being
registered then. There were 22.793 In
August, 20.659 in June, 11,019 in
May.
Every state in the nation, 14 for
eign countries and four American
territories were represented, automo
mlles coming here from Canada, Mex
ico, England, China, Cuba, Dutch
West Indies, France, Germany, In

and Bahamas.
Arizona led all states, with 13.550.

Recently she celebrated her 101st

She Is a little disgusted with the
