Siberian women will wade out to their

The Siberians are a moral people.
The thief is their greatest criminal and
is given short shrift, being stabbed
when caught, but not given the rites of
their burial service. Unfaithtul wives
are a great rarity. Perhaps this is be-
cause the women are proud of their
beauty, even beyond the Arctic circle.
When the wife is unfaithful the hus-
band has the privilege of biting OIL
the tip of her nose. Captain Baber de-
mutilated in his ten years experience
in the Arctic. If the husband is un-
faithful, the wife leaves him, taking
the children. However, as the tie be-
tween the parents and children is
most affectionate one, the man seldom
breaks the laws. The most terrible
punishment that can be inflicted upon
a Siberian father is to deprive him OF
his children. All children are loved
by these primitive people. If family
of little ones is left motherless and
fatherless, the other families eagerly
draw lots to see who shall take them
into their family. No matter if the
winner has a big family of his own
to support, the additional duty is care
fully and thankfully done. If he can
not get enough food to last out the
winter the other families contribute
their share.
These children of nature have no
books, no God, no laws except their
fro ditions They are unspoiled natu-
raj and simple, just as the original
forebears of the Aryan race were when
civilization first began. These people
came from the same continent where
human life is supposed to have started.
but through all the thousands of years
of development the Siberian natives
have been the same.
