ALASKANS ARE
MADE THRIFTY.
And Civilized by the Reindeer
Industry, Says Bureau of
Education Bulletin.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 2s.-
in twenty years the reindeer indus
try has made the Eskimos of Alaska
civilized and thrifty men," says the
United States Bureau of Education in
a bulletin just issued.
The reindeer industry began in
Alaska in 1892 when the Bureau Of
Education imported from Siberia III
reindeer. The object OF the importa-
ton, according to the bulletin, was to
furnish a source OF supply for food
and clothing to the Eskimos in the
vicinity of Boring Strait This i'm
portation was continued until 1902.
and q total Of 1880 reindeer were
brought from Siberia. There are now
1926 reindeer distributed among
sixty-two herds. and S0,532 of these
are owned by the natives.
This industry has given to the
Alaskan Eskimos not only food and
clothing, but means of transporta-
ton superior to dog teams. Instead
Of being romadic hunters eking out a
precaiious existence on the vast UNI
timbered lands OF the Arctic coast
region the Eskimos," according TO
the bureaus bulletin, now have as
.sured support and opportunity to ac-
quire wealth by the sale of meat and
skins to the white men"
The reindeer industry is carefully
guarded "No native is permitted TO
sell ior otherwise dispose of female
reinf eer to any person other than a
native of Alaska" This is done. the
bulletin states, "lest white men de-
prive the natives of their reindeer and
destroy this great native industry
which the bureau of Education has in
the last twenty years built up and
fostered.'
The reindeer service is an integral
part of the educational. system OF the
Bureau of Education for northern and
western Alaska. The district super
intendents of schools are also supe.-
intendents of the reindeer service.
Promising and ambitious young ma
tiyes are selected by superintendent
as apprentices in the reindeer service,
receiving six. eight or ten reindeer at
the close of the first, second and third
years, respectively, and ten more nj
the close of the fourth year. Upon
the satisfactory Termination OF his
apprenticeship, the native becomes a
herder and assumes entire charge of
a herd,

ABSURD STORIES
About the Caste Habits Of the
Indian Soldiers viii Make
Trouble at the Front.

Correspondents of Associated Press).
LONDON. Dec. 2S.-Absurd stories
about the caste habits Of the Indian
soldiers will make trouble at the front,
says General o'Moore Greagh.
One correspondent wrote that the
Ghurkas had been given a special
dispensation to eat beef and drink
porter. like the British soldiers. Moth
ing could be a worse. insult to the
Ghurka. says General Greagh.
The British press has layished its
praise almost entirely on the Ghurkas
and Sikhs. to the neglect Of other
fighting castles. There are, for I'M
stance, three regiments OF Dogras,
who, although of poor physique, are
the coolest under fire OF any of the
native soldiery. Some OF the best
fighting Indians are the Punjab Mo-
hammedans.
A popular mistake is that the Ghur-
kas throw their kukrim or carved
knife, at the enemy. They do not
throw 1t, but use 1t so skillfully that
they can bchead buffalo calf at a
single blow.

COLORED TEACHERS
WILL HOLD MEE TING
In City of Charleston Tomor-
row Discuss State School
LEGISLATION.

CHARLESTON. Dec. 2S.-There is
to be held in this city Tuesday a meet
ing of the colored educators of the
state who. acting as committee of
the state teachers association will
consider plans for securing larger ed
ucational opportunities for the race.
While the common school, high school
and normal facilities are conceded to
be about UP to the average, it is point
ed out that there is no provision
whatever made for the higher train
ing of this element of the population
which they regard as serious handi-
cap. Quite number of colored stu
dents, 1t is stated, who desired high
er education, have had to seek it in
other states at an expense and incon-
veniences which imposed hardships.
Others are deferred altogether from
undertaking such courses.
The object of this meeting will be
to secure for the colored citizens of
the state . complete system of educa-
ton. Just what plan will be adopted
ia not known, blu; it is thought that
the committee will urge either the
creating OF a college department at
one of the present state normals or
the establishing o. a limited number
OF free scholarships to be awarded
annually on a competitive basis.
Principal j. w. Scott, of the Hunt
ington high school, who is chairman
of this committee on legislation, has
received letter from the governor
favortng the general proposition Of
giving to the colored boys and girls
who have ambitions for higher edu-
cation, the opportunity Of acquiring
the same" 1t is the opinion of Mr..
Scott that no matter which plan is
decided upon, the cost would be small
and the gain large, for every social
FL CUP is stronger and saner for hav-
ing wise and sane leadership. OBJ
viuusly IL Is better that a state de-
velop its own leaders than to depend
on some other state to develop them
for ii. Then, too, there is no better
way of keeping the race safely to
Itself than by making it sufficient I'M
to itself. which result can come only
through trained leadership.
The following educators are expect.
ed to be present at the meeting in

NO PRESIDENTIAL WHIP
FOR SENATOR RANSDELL
Louisiana Solon Denies Mr.. Wilson
Sought to Punish Him for
Sugar Vote. !

Senator Ransdell. of Louisiana. took the
floor in the Senate yesterday as a matter
Of personal privilege to deny a story by
James Creelman that the President had
sought to punish the Louisiana Senators
for their votes In opposition to wiping out
the sugar duties.
The statement to which Senator Rams
dell took offense particularly was that
President Wilson had sent to him and
threatened to use the patronage as a club
to compel him to vote against the sugar
duties.
Senator Ransdell pointed out that the
four important offices in Louisiana, re-
garded as Senatorial patronage, which
have become vacant since the Inaugural
tion Of President Wilson, had been filled
to the entire satisfaction of himself and
his colleague. and that employees in the
Treasury Department for the administra-
ton of the income tax had been appointed
after consultation with the Louisiana
Senator.
Senator Ransdell admitted that one of
his most intimate personal friends had
been appointed to one of the best paying
Offices in Louisiana. which reference was
generally accepted as a reference to Sen
ator Ransdell's private secretary as col
iector of internal revenue for the Louis
lana district

GAYETY.
"GinRer Girls"


Joe Hurtig's Ginger Girls company.
headed by Ed Lee Worthe, are the at
traction at the Gayety this week, which
is the last of the regular burlesque sea
son. Worthe is seen in the role of Jani-
tor Higgins. an Interpretation which has
netted success for both actor and pro-
duction for the past two seasons. HiS-
gins Is one of the few comedians in bur-
lesque who does not resort to a makeup
to appear ridiculous. He Is "as funny
as they come" and is never at a loss
to gain a laugh from his audience.
Henry p. Nelson, German comedian, Is
seen in a role giving him ample oppor-
tunity to share in the honors of the per-
formance. Jane LIE Beau. who takes the
leading feminine part, is one of the most
charming characters seen here this sea-
son. Her speciality. MY Seminole Maid"
Is one of the bright spots of the enter
tainment and she was warmly applaud
ed by the gallery gods. Other members
OF the supporting company worthy Of
mention are Gus Rober, Una Chadwick,
Ethel Marmont, Al Weston. and Lew
Elber.
The Ginger Ponyettes-Mae Brandon.
Babe Burnett and Daisy Marchand-are
one Of the real hits of the show. Fairy
faced, dainty, petite. livelier than crick-
cts and more graceful than fawns, they
make that rare and ideal combination
beauty, grace and action.
The chorus is one of the best drilled
and largest seen here this season. 1t
Is spriglltly and displays to best advan-
tage the numerous costumes worn dur
ing the show. The Alpine quartet made
a hit in several musical selections.

DEBATE WILL ENLVEN
SHAD BAKE AT beach
Two Tonys Will Argue Merits of the
"Half-and-Half" Plan Next
Saturday.
HUGE DINNER is PLANNED

Once In twelve months the bankers.
make up the Board of Trade have a
shad bake. They have a good time, and
throw aside all cares.
The shad bake this year, on next Satur-
cay, will be the best ever, according to
the boards press agent. There will be
a baseball game, huge dinner. athletic
events, and an entertainment.
One of the features of the entertain
ment will be debate on the ''HaH-and
Half Act" 1t Is promised that many
points of interest heretofore overlooked
will be presented Tony Da Sous, the
Alexandria Barber, and Tony Gallo will
be the debaters. Signors Da Sous and
Gallo are rivals for supremacy in italian
dialect. so the argument is bound to be
full of pep" says the press agent, who
knows very well that pep" is considered
not to be gpod newspaper English.
In every well-regulated shad bake,
where joy is unconfined il not unrefined.
there must be a committee on public
order. This committee. appointed yester-
day. will confine all offenders and kill
joys in the Chesapeake Beach lookup,
which, believe one who has been there,
Is some lookup.
The members are Michael C. Weller.
