JUNIORS THE BEQUEST OF CIVILIZATION By BEDSTEAD Chapter XL Juniorite Civilization 51. The Habits and Habitats of the Juniorites. 52. The Women of the Tribe. 53. The Head-Men. 51. The Habits and Habitats of the Juniorites In taking up the study of this tribe we are confronted with a difficult problem. This difficulty is due both to the lack of authentic material on the subject and to Note — The head piece shows a work of art dating about the year 1931 P. D. Q. and attributed to the Juniorite craftsman Oh-Dell, the younger. This masterpiece is entitled Muscle and, although the origin of the word is obscure, it is generally considered to be one of the local gods much worshipped by the male members of the tribe who often endured the most excruciating physical tortures to gain his favor.
