Women of Papua Demand Dead Man Proof for Suitors
The Papua report notes a grim tradition where a girl will only accept a lover who can show proof of murder by presenting a finger cut from the dead man. The tale recounts a suitor who killed none, faced danger in the bush, nearly starved, and endured perils before attempting to fulfill the ritual and win a dawned chance at marriage.

Pneumatic Tyres Boost Tractor Efficiency Across Tests
Tests from agricultural schools show pneumatic tyres improve tractor efficiency from about 45 percent with steel wheels to around 65 percent with Goodyear tyres. The fuel and power savings arise as tyres roll rather than dig, allowing higher loads and speeds with mounted implements.
