Did Starving Man

+ When he cannot cat, why does man

will pawn anything he owns, is a Ques-

brokers on South Broadway today. A
nan entered the pawn shop today and

Upper teeth, which he took from his

money
with no teeth the man cannot eat, u
said A. Smith at the police station to-
day "and cannot figure out just why
he would be willing to part with such
saluable things as false teeth for such
A small amount of money, for he only
asked the loan Of 81 on them"

BRITAIN BUSY
 TURNING OUT
 MORE BOATS

LONDON, Oct. 3. The first standardized merchant steamer built to the order of the government to replace those destroyed by German submarines has been completed and
 placed in commission in less than
 seven months from the date on which her keel was laid. It is ex- pected that vessels similar to this first one will be constructed in four to four and one-half months. Many hundreds of others are being built
 and Sir Joseph Maclay announced during the trial trip of the first standardized steamer, that every shipyard in the United Kingdom was full of such vessels in pro-
 cess of construction.
 It is understood that six types of
 cargo steamers known as A, B, c, D, E, and F are at present being constructed of about 5000 tons
 dead-weight, 1000 tons, 5000 tons
 and 5000 tons, and the construc-
 tion of other typesg is being con-
 sidered. Some of the ships al
 ready built were especially adapted
 for carrying grain, being single deckers, others with twin decks 1 would be suitable for carrying any class of cargo.
 The fact that engines of standard i design can be fitted in any vessel of the type for which it is adapted has merits at the outset and also | merits when repairs to the machin-
 cry are required since parts will be l readily available.
 standard ships will be placed in care of steamship managers subject to direction of the Shipping Controller.

TEACHER ADMITS HE IS
 TRACKED BY NATIVES

Mr Eide, who returns on the Ram his third year in that desolate re- zion, says the Nome Nugget. He has an interesting collection of phot- os taken on that somewhat bleak and desolate spot, and if the camera does not belle nature, it would be hard to discover it's equal for deso- lation. There is only one point where boats can land and the na- tive villages are close by there. There also are the native school houses and the Bureau of Educa- tion's establishments. MT. Eide does not find it all rose water in teach ing the aboriginal minds and he is far from observing that they are the usually supposed. The first year a teacher is there they are very nice because the teacher does not know them and they trick him into a belief that they are starving and poverty stricken. The teacher usual ly opens up to their stories and gives plentifully from his store. He later discovers that he is imposed upon and the natives seeing that he is wise to their moves the second year show no interest in their friend and mentor. Then they try to rid themselves of the teacher so that another man may come to minister to their needs and incidentally to fall for their hard luck stories. MT. Eide crossed from the Diomedes to Wales in 20 foot skin boat fitted with an Evinrude engine and propellor There is a current aver aging between three and eight knots running in the straits with usually a heavy wash and sea. He was all most wrecked because right at the critical moment the engine bucked and he was only able to reach shore some five miles north of Wales where he was carried by the current and the wind. He bucked it for sev- eral hours when the engine broke down and he thought 1t was all over He is not sorry to return again to the Diomedes with his wife and fam fly. This makes some companion ship and is not under such condi- tions as intolerable as it might be for single man. The Diomedes ma tiyes, mostly former whalers and their descendants, from their inter- course with such whites are far from the fine people that are en- in other sections. at least that is the local reputation among those who are acquainted with the charges which fall to this teachers lot.

REASONABLE REQUEST

DOUGLAS, Oct 6.-Officials of the local chapter of the Red Cross make the very reasonable request that Friday of each week, the regu- lar meeting day of the organization, be strictly set aside for that pur- pose and that no social functions be arranged for on that day. It is urged that where meetings are held but once each week-in most plac- es two are held-the day designat- cd should be kept solely for such meetings.

 The cabin and the yard are just as Mir Service left it. One large roll of wrapping paper which he used for his manuscript. pinning it to the wall when writing, also is there, and small pieces are given to each visitor as a souvenir. An old diary which Service used is in the room and is used for a visitors register. Each visitor is asked to contribute 25 cents to the patriotic or Red Cross fund.

Thirty girls of the Senior High School have been enrolled and all Eighth and Ninth year girls will be required to take the course. These additional class es have been organized and will begin regular work this coming week. Boys classes will be organ ized as soon as the football sea- son is completed.
 General Richardson gave a very interesting and educational address before the students of the Junior and Senior High Schools yesterday afternoon. This was the first op- portunity for the two schools to be called together and it is planned that a regular schedule of such talks will be offered the students General Richardson's address dealt with the causes of the present war and an appeal to all to show the patriotism befitting true Americans. The General has been rendered a standing invitation to appear be- fore the school at any time and it hoped that it may be the privilege of the students to hear him often. The first of the series of monthly dances given by the Moonlight Dancing Club was held last evening in the gymnasium of the new school building. About twenty-five couples were present and without doubt it was the most enjoyable party ever given by the Club. The gymnasium was beautifully decorat- cd with large flags and pennants Punch and cake were served in the balcony by the girls of the school who were the guests of the eve ming.

 son was staged at the Basin foot. ball grounds last evening, between the teams of the Junior and Senior High Schools. At the final whistle it was found that the Seniors had won by a score of 36 to O. The Sen iors were, however, much heavier and had several players of last year s experience who found tine Junior boys rather easy to elude on the long end runs. The Juniors now swear vengeance on their rivals and without doubt will with considerable more practice make the Seniors play much better brand of foot ball than exhibited last night. Coach Genn is to be congratulated upon the excellent showing the boys have made and in another week the first team will be well rounded out and ready for all corners. Hodges, Bur. ford, Torvinen, and Morgan were barred from this game with the Jun for team and an opportunity was given the lighter men to show what they could do. For the Senior team Joe Mclaughlin.
