Deterioration of Eskimo
BY Contact With White Man
DiSCredit to '!CiviiiZati0n''

1t is or ought to be little disquiet-
ing to all accustomed to think well of
themselves as civilized" in distinction
from "barbarOus" or savage" to note
the quick deterioration in the Eskimos
reported by Doctor Anderson as the re-
suit of contact with white men.
OF course it is a commonplace of eth
nology that such contact has always
been injurious and often fatal to print
tive peoples but usually the humilia-
ton of this fact has been mitigated by
the possibility of saying that the primi-
tives suffered because the first visitors
were opponents of the vices rather
than the virtues of ivilization-rough
sailors, for instance, or constituencies
traders ruthless in exploiting natures
untutored children. This theory would
be the better if in many instances mis-
sionaries of the most respectable sort
had not brought about changes in the
peoples they tried to serve which,
though different from those worked by

The employers who have upon their
rolls tens of thousands of men and
women find that it pays them to pro-
vide for the adequate medical care of
their working men and women. This
has been carried to a degree which
would have been considered astound-
ing a generation ago. Practically ev-
cry department store has it's medical
and nursing staff. Some even have
dentists and chiropodists, whose serv-
ices are at the disposal of their en-
ployeeS.
Instead of considering the appli-
cants without regard for their physi-
cal condition, examinations are now
required in order that sufferers from
tuberculosis and other diseases will
not be added to the force of employees
and menace the healthy workers and
the establishments customers.
Great industrial plants not only Of
fer medical and surgical treatment to
their employees, but the majority of
them conduct welfare work, carrying
modern medical and sanitary practice
into the homes of their employees, to
the great benefit and protection of
the workers and their families.
1t has been demonstrated beyond
the question of a doubt that this is an
excellent investment from the employ
ers' standpoint. No man can render
the maximum of service who is physi
cally unfit. Big business has proved
health a primary necessity in industry,
and it is willing to pay for it.
The employees have never been tax
en- better care of than at the present
time. This has come about through
the educational work of health au-
thorities, with the assistance of the
public press.

Hone for Poor Writers.

Motion pictures are being employed
for the purpose of making a scientific
study of the various movements in
writing with a view to ascertaining
how poor writer's can best be taught
TO improve. Motion pictures have
been taken of children of two groups:
Good writer's and poor writer's. These
pictures have been thrown on the
screen for the purpose of analyzing the
kinds of movements which character
ize good as distinguished from poor
writer's. The investigators are not yet
ready to make final deductions as to
what the films reveal, but they are of
the opinion that differences In rhythm
of action and in the coordination of
certain strokes are among the char
arcteristics which will form a basis for
judging good and bad movements. The
advantage of the films is that they
can be stopped at any point for de-
tailed examination and comparison.
of course, they can be repeated any
number of times.

Barbara, Popular Name for
Girls, Has a History That
Goes Back to Early Saints

The revival of the name Barbara as
a common proper appellation for girls
draws attention to its origin. This
name Barbara is especially interesting
in that it, in common with three 9TH
ers, has been made the representative
of an idea in the annals of the Roman
Catholic church. Agnes, Katharine,
great virgin saints revered with pas
sionate fervor, because the fact that
around these women crystaIlized
many widely separated allegories and
traditions.
Finally Agnes came to represent the
triumph of innocence, Margaret the vic
tory through faith, Katharine the ex-
treme of intellectual devotion, and
Barbara that of artistic conservation.
/ Saint Barbara is, the especial patron
of architects and OF their art in it's ex-
preston of religion. 1t is said that she
was maiden of Heliopolis, who be-
came Christian and desired to hon
or the chief mystery of the creed in
some enduring form. When she OBJ
served certain bath chamber being
constructed with only two windows, as
had always been the custom until that
time, she insisted that three entrances
for light should be built. For this act
of rebellion her cruel father flew into a
demoniac rage, and with his own hands
beheaded the inspired maiden.
Instantly terrific storm arose, as
if the very elements cried out their
loudest protest against the horrible
deed To an accompaniment of crash
ing and reverbating thunder the
evil creature was destroyed by light
ming bolt.
From architectures Saint Barbara
became the patron of engineers. She
was always the protectress from thun-
der and afterward from its imitator,
artillery In French ships the ammun-
milton room is still known as ia sainte
barbe."
Philologists tell US that the name is
derived from the Greek root bar,
which means strong, and that it is
repetition of the primitive peoples
reduplicated barbar Every strong).
From the same root came the Latin
barbarus and our own barbaric mean

or ill-adapted Splendor.

We're to change the ancient habits of

right word. 1t would be more nearly
correct to say that they have developed
in very natural way tendencies hith-
erto kept latent by circumstances. The
members of a small, isolated clan do
not beg or steal from each other, since
all their property is practically owned
in common. The arrival of aliens so
strange as to seem different species
creates wholly new conditions, and beg

manifestations of immemorial instincts

Work for Artists.

London artists in distress through
the war are being employed to dec
crate the walls of many of the public
schools of the city with friezes and
panels illustrative of life and industry
in the British dominions beyond the
seas. One of the most striking pic
lures depicts London with st. PauPs
cathedral overlooking the Thames and
barges and steamers moving about the
river. Others are of pastoral scenes
in Canada, Australia. South Africa and
the West Indies. BY extending the
work throughout the school system the
board of education hopes to develop
the Imagination of the pupils and pos
sibly develop a large school of decora-
tive painting in England.

Arabs Have MANY Virtues.

Travellers ascribe TO the Arabs
many virtues. They are proud and
earnest people, sharp-witted, courag-
eous, temperate and hospitable. but
when wronged are bloodthirsty and
vengeful One of their most striking
characteristics is their great love for
poetry. The children of the nomads
as well as the offspring of the fell
labs are early taught TO read, write
and calculate, as might be expected
of the descendants of that race which
gave US our Arabic numerals.

Why Yeast Raises Bread.

Bread dough contains percentage
of sugar, due to the starch made by
the wheat plant, and yeast consists of
myriad living plants, which ferment,
and this ferment has the power of
working on the sugar in the dough so
that it is broken up and it's character
changed. The process generates alco-
hol and carbonic acid gas, the alcohol
cooperating into the air. But the car
bOnic gas gets busy and causes little
bubbles to rise in the dough. AS these
increase and get larger they raise the
dough and it is converted into bread

OUT OF POLITICS" IS RO0SEVE[T'S REPLY ID ALL HIS VISITORS
Receives Thousands of Tele- grams Commenting His Action in Refusing
 Nomination

Oyster Bay, N. Y, June 11.-Theodore Roosevelt reiterated today that he is tout of politics.
 T want to tell you newspaper men, he said, that it's of no nse for you to come up here to see me. I will have nothing to say. I will answer no ques- tions, so please don't ask me to. I am out of politics.
 If the former President has any plans for the immediate future other than to continue his literary work he has not made them public. His secretary, John w. McGrath, is expected to arrive here tomorrow from Chicago with a detailed report of the happenings at both the re- publican and progressive conventions.
 Colonel Roosevelt attended church this morning with Mrs. Roosevelt. but re- mained in seclusion at Sagamore Hill the rest of the day. The telegraph lines brought him flood of messages and it was announced that most of them ap- proved his action in declining to become candidate upon the progressive ticket.
 While Colonel Roosevelt would not dis cuss the question today his intimates con- sidered 1t altogether unlikely that he would reconsider his conditional refusal to head third ticket He has not yet made it clear whether or not he will support the Hughes candidacy.

The streets early today were paved with Roosevelt banners, torn in anger from progressive" breasts, and Roose- welt badges crushed beneath indicn mt heels The cry is that Roosevelj, with Judas kiss, delivered the children of Egypt into the bondage of Penrose, Crane, Shoot and Barnes, tha, in the moment of their life's crisis, the cap tain of the progressive ship deser ed to the reactionary camp of the bosses"
 The night is signalized by ringing interview from Hiram Johnson of Cal ifornia, declaring that the progressive party shall not pass from the face of the earth, but the desertion of Roose- welt is tentatively accepted and ad- mitted with an unusual degree of finality.
