ALASKA GIRL IS TO SPREAD
 THE UPLIFT IN THE NORTH

CANYON CITY. Colo. Feb. IT, Brought to the State penitentiary here by journey of several thousand miles from Alaska, an Eskimo girl murderess is already planning to go back to her people on the shores of Boring Sea at the end of her long term and teach them modern customs.
 Miss Aplaruk is the first Eskimo prisoner the Colorado penitentiary ever had. Here the government is housing all federal convicts of the western country, including Alaska.
 The Eskimo girl understood no En- glish and nothing of civilized customs when she arrived at Canyon City. She seemed utterly dazed.
 Her plight interested Warden Thomas. who started her education. He had great difficulty teaching her the first few words of English but when these were first mastered the girl suddenly began to show keen in telligence and a desire to learn the language and customs of the white race.
 The warden believes when her sen tence expires she will be one of the best educated women that ever set foot in the prison.

DRINKS TOO HOT ARE BAD.
f Taken Above 13o Degrees They in-
 iure the Stomach.

jure the Stomach.
 Many people without realizing 1t are in the habit of drinking tea at much too high a temperature. Sir Henry Thompson points out in his book on Diet In Relation to Age and Activi- ty."
 "Few persons are aware that they habitually swallow hot liquids. tea es- pecially, at temperature which if applied to the hands or feet would in- dict painful scalds. Most tea drinkers take 1t about 14O to 14J degrees F.. which the mouth bears very well if slowly slipped, while the cup itself Is too hot to be held by any hand.
 But the habit of swallowing such tea is injurious to the stomach. and it ought not to be taken above 13O de grees or so. Again. water at 120 tc- grecs. which feels a little more thaH lukewarm In the mouth. causes severe pain if the hand is dipped in it ami cannot be endured
 He has, however. some good worus to say for the early morning tea.
 This morning tea ill any case shoui4 be taken at least an hour and q mli before the first meal of the day. For many years l have been accustomed to write for an hour every morning in bed after tea. and nt no time do I flE.i the brain clearer for work, while tine appetite for solid food is eXcellen! when the hour for breakfast arrives.

GOOD BASKETBALL GAMES
 AT MOOSE LAST NIGHT

The Moose basketball five defeated she Moose second team last night, in well played game by score of 4o 10 25. The game was close until the last part of the second half, when the superior team work of the first team enabled them to shoot seven baskets in a few minutes, thus cinching the game The second team played error less ball the first half, and scored on the first team at will, but the deadly second half proved their undoing. Both sides played nearly all errorless game, but five fouls being called on both sides.
 Baskets shot for Moose first team were: Miller, 8; Tom Selby, g; Kees' Ter. 3: Johnson, 3.
 Baskets shot for the Moose second team were: Rooseen, g.; Harry Selby, T: Ober, 4; Haines, 2; Egan, l.
 The second game was between the Irish and the Coffee Dodg- CTS, during which the Irish-Awer:- cans demonstrated their superiog abilities in chewing up their oppon- S,nts, verbally and physically. So fierce did the little fellows become at times that the referee had to pry them apart with Indian clubs. The Coffee Dodgers played good game, how ever, and only succumbed to the foe by being placed hors de combat. The score was 2 to in favor of the Irish Americans. Donohoe tossed the sphere into the basket twice and his luck held good in one free throw from the foul line A young Hibernian by the name of Boyd also connected with she basket once, to his opponents smazement. Alaska Egan played great game, tackling both friends and opponents at will Kenneth keesler played an errorless game at forward.
 The Coffee Dodgers got the ball in 5:,o net once.-they couldn't help it.

4 CONVINCING ARGUMENT.
Vet k Was Not What Was Said, but
 the Way tt Was Said.


 In an article about Charles M. Scnwab in the American Magazine the writer says:
 several years ago. in the midst of the development of his Bethlehem Steel company, Mir. Schwab found 1t important to sell some notes. So he went to a f1nancier. With his custom ary enthusiasm the magnate sketched the happy condition of the steel indus try and the bigger things just around the corner. So well did he present his case that the light of Bethlehem's fur naces might have been borrowed from the rainbow.
 Why. there won't be any trouble selling those notes.' said the financier. And the steel man went happily back to his New York office. A little later he was called to the telephone.
 "'Mr. Schwab'-it was the financier speaking-'would you mind dictating In letter just what you said to me?
 'So the steel magnate dictated let ter and took 1t over to him.
 "'Why, Mir. Schwab, that isn't the same thing at all.' said the man of money.
 "'Yes, it is.' protested Bethlehem's president.
 'They went over the letter together. and the Hnancier was forced to admit that 1t contained exactly what Mir. Schwab had said.
 "'Well,' he said, you're right, but l cant sell those notes unless you die tate that talk into a photograph

 A REAL SUCCESS

 Principal Attributes

Appearance, performance, comfort, service and price-these are the five principal attributes of the successful mo- tor car, according to the consensus of opinion as expressed by the star sales men attending the Jonh N. Willys sales congress, which was concluded in Chi cago Saturday, September s, after ses- sions lasting three days aboard ship on the Great Lakes
 Factory executives. who took the trip, agreed that the affair was the most sue cessful undertaking of it's kind in the history of the company. As one of them expressed it: More information con- corning the actual requirements of the public was obtained during those three days than could be gathered by the usual methods in years
 By the usual methods, he referred to the customary letter-writing system and personal investigation throughout the territory at large.
 The sole purpose of the congress, ac- cording to the plans as outlined by MT. Willys, was to get the factory heads into the closest possible touch with the motor buying public from coast to coast and border to border.
 No sooner were the star salesmen aboard the steamer South America" at Toledo on the morning of Wednesday. September 5, than they were notified

TIRE SERVICE MEANS
 CARE FOR RIMS, TOO
Experienced Motorist Appreciates At tention to This Little Item, Says
 Local Dealer

Tire service should mean more than merely changing and repairing tires and tubes.p remarked a local dealer in Frestone tires and rims one day this week.
 ''The experienced driver appreciates a service that takes care of his rims as well as his tires. Too many dealers who are giving an elaborate free tire service are overlooking this little item. Drivers usually know more about tires than they do about rims. That is be- cause their tires give them more trou- ble than their rims. But frequently de- fective rims are the cause of their tire trouble. The conscientious service man will examine the rims carefully, make such minor repairs as appear neces sary and advise the owner on the moro important repairs"
 The dealer pointed out that the Fire stone Tire and Rubber company is the only tire company manufacturing rims and that Firestone dealers have the advantage of being able to supply rims and rim parts made by tire specialists.
