GLOVES FROM WHALES.
New Use to Be Made of the Hide of
the Big Animal.

Newfoundland whalers seized with
spirit Of enlerprising economy. are
reported to be attempting to place
whale hide on the market, for the
manufacture Of whale leather.
1t is not surprising that such al
attempt should be made. 1t must vey
the spirit Of amy whale Of well-bal-
anced mind to see, after all The hard :
ship and danger Of his calling an en-
ormous and altogether diSproportion-
ate bulk of his quarry east away as
refuse.
From large right whale Of. say Is
to 30 feet in length, about $50 barrels
Of oil and one and thrcc-quarter tons
OF balccn, or whalcbone, may be OBJ
tanned. The remainder of the wigan-
tie carcass, which may be as much as
80 tons, has hitherto been considered
useless.
The average whale hide, is laid out
on the ground, would cover a surface
of nearly 1900 square feet, at which
rate one whale, if it's hide could be
made into boots ana shoes, would
we'll stock boot shop.
1t is also hoped that the intestines
of the whale wiz. J made remunera-
tive. This product is described as
very thin and tough and suitable for
glove manufacturers.
1t is not likely, however, that whale
lntestines could be manufactured in
to good motoring and driving gloves.
for which reindeer at present holds
the field against all other skins.
AT various times many skins have
been tried, such as the skins of croco-
.DtcSb OATS, calves. lambs and even
rats Many of the mems cheap dress
gloves on the market are made in
Naples Of the skins Of the local sew
er rats But practically all Of the
skins mentioned have been found
trcachcrous Glove skins must not
only be liable but also perfectly tough
and firm since they have to be sewn
up right at the edge. If whale in
teStMes be found to possess these
three qualities, no doubt there would
quickly be market for whale gloves.

INDIAN AS A BARGAIN HUNTER
Trading to an Advantage Is One of
His Strong Points.

The reservation Indians in the
southwest have many quaint IDEAS Of
trade, which often arc amusing,
though childish. a contributor was
lately among the Navajo and Mooui
Indians in Arizona.
At Armijo's trading post at Oriabi,
Ariz., he writes, the customers are
both Navajos and Hopi2. \ Hopi
came in one day and after pricing an
axe bought it for 1925, giving Armi-
jo $3.50. He received 25 cents in
change. After while he came back.
and looking wise, asked Armijo what
he had taken out of his $l50 for the
axe. On being told 1926 he showed
the 25 cents toward Armiio and said ;
"Now give ne the 80 ccnts.'
An Indian bought piece Of NUT
ton from this same trader for So
for which the trader had asked him
$3.50. After thinking while the
Indian asked for his money. saying
he did not wish the meat. When given
$2.25 ne protested, and asked for $3.50
telling Armijo in no unmistakcn lam
"uagc that if it was worth that much
TO the trader il certainly was to him.
When refused the extra 25 cents he
took the matter up with the mission
ary, a person often appealed to in
matters of this kind, and who, as a
general thing, settles them SO that the
Indian and the trader are both salts

Bucksklns were very scarce at one
trading post and the trader was offer
ing extra inducements to get Indians
to bring some in, havin" heard Of
several recently tanned in a certain
n1@hborhood on thcr escrvation One
Navajo had told this trader where
the skins Were. The Navajo was told
that nc would be given two Navajo
blankets worth as much as the skins
would sell for and he could trade
them for skins.
Upon their receipt by the trader
the Indian was promised nice saddle
blanket for. his part in the deal. He
acquiesced, but insisted upon having
the three blankets then, and they

VALUATION SCHEME
GETS ENDORSEMENT
Major C. w. Hawes' Speech Is Read
at Chicago and Adopted as Policy
of Associated Fraternities.

The principles laid down by Major
C. w. Halves on valuation in his paper
which was read and considered at the
meeting of the Associated Fraterni-
ties of America which was held in
Chicago this week. have been adopted
by that body as the policy of that or
ganization. The theory which Major
Halves eXpounded was TO the effect
that method of finding the financial
standing of a beneficiary society be
adopted by law SO that members of
the societies might know what chance
they have of their benefciaries secur-
ing their life insurance. At the pres
ent time many of the fTatemal So
cieties will be unable to meet their
obligations within the next 100 years
if present rates continue. Major
Halves supplies the method for get
ting the standing and the Associated
Fraternities of America will make an
effort to make a law of it. The
method was also under the considera-
