"We penetrated 180 miles up the Ramu River, in Australian mandated territory, to find the pygmies," Lord Moyne said. "At ferocious, first they were very though, unlike the black tribes which inhabit the country around them, they are cannibals. The country is very wild-dense jungle surmounted by. snow-capped mountains 12.- 000 feet high."

Calcutta, June 12.

FOR six months the devoted sons and daughters of fifty- year-old Dr. S. Sen have been keeping him alive by making blood transfusions every day--and even the nearest friends of the family have been unaware of their sacrifice.

The family's sacrifice was reveal- ed as a result of a public appeal for volunteers for blood transfusion. Already consideration has Dr. Sen's family have been ordered been given to proposals for a long rest owing to their three other pools, perhaps, quite condition.
