...estate. Last summer King Stephen III of the gypsy house of Kaslov, ruler of 10,000 scattered subjects, had to get his son Prince Willie, 17, out of a Newark, N. J. jail. Prince Willie had stolen a car and run away with a crown worth $4.500 and the tribal funds because he did not fancy the wife his father had bought for him. Last week near Los Angeles gypsy royalty made more news. Several months ago, swart Mark Adams, who has a little farm in the San Fernando Valley and rules the valley's gypsies with a firm...
Workmen hung an enormous banner in Manhattan's Grand Central Station last week. Thousands of commuters who did not know a Pomo from a Pima, a Hopi from a Zuni, a Choctaw from a Cherokee, now knew that the long heralded exposition of Indian Tribal Arts had opened.

Last summer Henrietta Schmer-ler, 23, Columbia University graduate student in ethnology who had gone West to study red men in situ, was found mangled and dead in a ravine on the White River (Ariz.) Indian Reservation (TIME, Aug. 3). Clad in squaw's dress and beads, she had set out a few days earlier for a dance at Fort Apache. It was known that...
...barred missionaries. Dr. Giffen and his wife left Omdurman, found a tribe 400 mi. to the south called the Shullaks. ''They were all over six feet, and the only people I ever had to look up to, always. We had considerable difficulties with the language at first. . . . Tribal custom called for the removal of the four front teeth of all adults. Consequently, they lisp almost everything they say." Soon, nevertheless, Dr. Giffen erected a mission, organized a school, translated two gospels and baptized 600 lisping Shullaks...
