Human Heads Feature Arouses
Readers' Widespread Interest
In response to - the widespread in
terest created by the story' of Rus
sell E. Stamm's presentation of
shrunken human heads•to the School
of Mineral Industries, -which appeared
in the December 17 issue of the Coi,-
Luatarq, the editors take pleasure in
answering a few questions raised by
readers.
Stamm, who is employed as an en
gineer for the Standard Oil company
in .Colombia, collected two specimens
of human heads from the Indians in
the jungles of Ecuador. He is one of
the few men who has investigated
the head-hunting aborigines and re
turned alive with specimens of their
unique practice.
Process Unknown
Ifead-hunting, although barred of
ficially by various South American
governments, is practiced by the ,na
tives in the dense jungle areas where
the, government ,seldoni penetrates.
The exact process which the natives
use in reducing the heads to the size
of a human fist remains unknown.
But the shrinkage is accomplished
so skillfully that the heads retain

every feature in proportion.
As nearly as anyone has been able
to determine, the heads are treated
with heated stones and sand after re
moval of the bony structure of the
skull, which is replaced by a .gum
preparation. As the head bakes., the
sand is gradually removed until the
finished product has become a dwarf
ed, eyeles;, wizened mummy of the
original human head. The 'hair re-
Mains lifelike in texture and length.
Two heads are on exhibition oh the
first floor of the Mineral Industries
building, One is a man's head. with
Indian features, and short black hair.
The other head is that of a woman.
The features, still preserved, show
that the woman was past middle age.
filer hair is long and black with
streaks of gray.
Stamm was here on vacation front
Colombia recently visiting his son,
Boy P. Stamm '2B, a student in. the
School of Mineral Industries, and is
now 'on his way back to South Amer
ica. .Leaving on a southern cruise
shortly before ChristmaS, Stamm is
due in Colombia shortly.

tice will be. Mrs. Mae Yoder Moore,
who received her training here under
