WASHINGTON—The scientific ex-
pedition soul by the National
Geographic Society to find a mon-
key. supposed to be the largest memo
ber of the nonanthropoid family. has
left to explore the province of Wei-
chow. one of the most remote and
barren regions of China.
No specimen of this-‘monkey has
ever been brought to the outside
world: and the society will endeavor
to discover whether or not. the spec-
ies is extinct. _
The party will also search for
human traces of east Asia's history
before the Chinese came and will
collect botanical specimens.
Non-Chinme Tribes.
Kweichow is. famous as the abode
of the mysterious non.Chineso tribes
of China. It is a little larger than
Missouri and has a. population esti—
mated at 8.000.000. The land is not
suited for agriculture of any kind
and because of secluded locality is
as inaccessible as Tibet.
Yet the strange tribes which sug-
gest that some ethnic circus troupe
was stranded theremake Kweichow
a. possible vista of hitherto unrecord-
ed human history. One of the visit-
ors among these tribes, who makes
no claim to being a student of an-
thropology, said he saw 'types re-
sembling the Gurkha. the south sea
islander. the American Indian. the
East Inman and the negro.
It may develop that some or all
of these strange tribes constitute the
American Indians of China. Another
writer says that the process of Chin-
ese absorption has been going on
among them since 2356 B. C.
Between two million and three mil-
lion of the non-Chinese populace
survive. Many of their strongholds
never have been visited by white
men: whole tribes did not know the
world war was in progress. “‘hile
China. was stirred by the Shantung
problem because the Chinese feared
cncroachmcnts in the provinco of
Confucius‘ tomb. these tribes were
oblivious of any “Shantung problem."
though they may retain the vestiges
of a culture spread over the whole
of southern China in the days when
Confucius taught.
Occasional travelers who have
penetrated villages of some of these
tribes tell how one of them thrcshcs
grain on the rooftops as in the Holy
Land; how others have great “pray-
cr flags" flying on fortified castles.
and how quarrels are settled on
horseback with blundcrbusses.
bxfloadsuords and bags of stones as
weapons
Kweichdw has escaped zoological
collectors. although it holds hope of
many animal prizes. it lies on the
watershed between the Yangtse and
the West rivers. its northern moun-
tains are a continuation of the Tib-
ctan system. Therefore the fauna of
Indo-Chlrla. of the mountains and
of the Yangtse valley should meet
within its borders.
Search For Monkey.
The monkey the expedition partic—
ularly hopes to find is the Rhino-
pithocus Brcllchi. of which the only
evidence now available is the skin of
a. female which shows a head and
body measurement of twenty-nine
inches and a. tail measurement of
thirty-nine inches. There has been
speculation regarding the possibility
of this species being an animal de»
scribed in a famous passage of Chin-
csc literature as follows:
"Its nose is turned upward. and
the tail very long and forked at the
cnd; whenever it rains the animal
thrusts the forks into its nose. It
goes in herds and lives in friend-
ship; when one dies the rest accom-
pany it to burial. its activity is so
great that it runs its head against
the trees; its fur is soft and gray
and the face is black."
Going directly to Pei-tin. Frederick
R. \l’ulsin. leader of the National
Geographic Society expedition. will
first take with him into Kweichow
a. Chinese botanist and 8. staff of
Chinese assistants for a. reconnais-
sauce.
Later he will be accompanied by
:1. party comprising botanists zoolog-
ists and anthropologists. The last
named will study the origin, phy—
sique, habits. language and rich
mythology of the non-Chinese tribes.
which vary in all these respects from
their Chinese neighbors.
A Mediterranean Trip.

ai Board of the Young ‘W’nmens
Christian Association. a small part)’
sailing for the Mediterranean will
leave New York early in January.
Due to the many demands to see
Palestine. Egypt and the work of

quaintance there will make possible

The statue of women and their
development since the war in the
countries visited will be objects of
special interest. The party will do
the 'usual sightseeing and will have
the opportunity of seeing some of.
the economic and social aspects of
each country. The tour is open to
all the members of the family.
After sixty-two days spent in lei-
surely travel the return will be

more concerned over the threatensi

6 cents a gallon‘ than they were ov or
the recent crude oil price cuts. The
official quotation of the Standard Oil
is 15 cents. which includes a State
tax of 2 cents. Union Shell and As-

cutting.

ST. PAUL. Milling Oct" JmaLAn
increase of approximately 50 .ter
cent in the American wheat tariff
was urged upon Minnesota delegates
in Congress in telegrams to them to-
day following a conference of agrkul
tural leaders with Gov. J. A. 0. Preua
The conference was called by the
Goya-nor to discuss the proposal of
selling 50.000.000 bushels of Ameri-
can wheat to Germany and other
European nations.
The proposal of President Coolidge
to organise a commission to stimu-
late foreign purchases of Amepcnn
grown wheat has met with opposi-
tion by farm organisations througlfe
out the Northwest. This opposition.
expressed today. is based on the con-
tention that such a plan under the
present tariff would work to the de-
triment of the American farmer and
to the benefit of the Canadian wheat
grower.
