MEANING OF THE TOTEM POLE

The following paragraphs are ex- cerpts from "The Origin and Meaning of the Totem Poles in Southeastern Alaska" by F. E Frobese, formerly curator of the Sheldon Jackson Muse um. These statements apply to the Hydah tribe, the inventors of the to- tems.
 There are three different kinds oS totem poles. One kind is usually erected in front of houses showing different figures representing the to- tens of family and their relatives and is called the family totem" An other totem pole is called the death totem, a post in which the ashes of the dead are gathered The third aud last class of totem poles was erected by the Hydahs to illustrate any re- markable event that had taken place "
 Exactly like the old Romans, the Hydahs were divided into three classes. The rich, the middle class and slaves. The last were never al- lowed to erect poles in front of their houses. When a Hydah married it was done with much ceremony. Now the totems of marriage couple are, of course. different, for example We will say: the woman has the totem of the raven while the man has that ot the eagle. Should the family de- eide to erect totem pole in front of their home, which was always am eN- peusiye luxury. illustrating the wealth and rank of the family, the carving on this post would be as fol- lows: The uppermost figure, the totem or the wife. a raven, the second that of the man, tHe image of an

 METALS STOPPED
British Government will Prevent Pri. vate Citizens from Causing
 Prices of Metal to Advance.

LONDON, March s-4 The war in which the empire Is engaged is caus- ing the British government to .gradu- ally extend governmental control over all industries and to fcurtail the lib- critics of the people in,matters which heretofore has caused England to be regarded as one of the most demo; craticacoantries of the world. .4
 Hundteds of private factories and manufacturing plants have been talk en ovef by the government in order that the output of munitions of war might be increased, prohibition laws are being enforced, which, had they been attempted prior to the beginning |of the war would have resulted ir rebellion. The dealers in foodstuffs are no longer permitted to fix their own profits as the government has es- tablished maxmum price for all ne. cessities.
 The latest order to be issued by the government is one prohibition speculation in copper or other metals which are used in the manufacture of munitions of war The order, 1t is understood. results from the action of an English syndicate purchasing large ,guantittss sof copper in Ameri-1 ca and sending the price ofethat me- tai to a- higher point. The syndicate realized profit of several million dollars by turning their contracts with the American metal producers over the British government at an ad- |.yanced price.

Little Rock, May 10.-One of the favorite pastimes of statehouse of ficials these days is figuring on when the state will be out of debt and on a cash basis. Statements made re- gently that that much-to- be desired condition would be attained some time next fall are denied by other authori- ties who estimate that it will be three years yet, if not longer, provided the next legislature is no more liberal with its appropriations than the last few have been, and the governor is as proficient in the application of the carving knife. After all, it is a somewhat uncertain proposition in exact mathematics, that only time and strict economy will be able to work out.
