ALASKA CLINGS TO
ANCIENT BELIEFS
From the Southern Workman


In Alaska the natives have all kinds
of superstitious beliefs They believe
that everything has a spirit and that
these spirits must be respected or else
bad luck will come to them. For in
stance, they must not throw away any
old clothing nor burn it. for that would
be the same as destroying a part of
themselves. They must make bundle
of the old clothes and put it on the
branches of a large spruce tree outside
the village. All fishbones are carefully
put away in basket, to be taken OH
to the middle of a river, stream. or
lake, and there thrown overheard. This
is done SO that not a single bone, after
it is put back into the water will turn
into fish, and this is sure to keep up
the supply.
When a child is born the father has
to put away all tools that are made of
iron or steel, and is not allowed to use
them for twenty days. During that
time he is not allowed to go outside to
do any work or any hunting. Should
he DO any of these things it would sure
ly cause the death of the baby When
child dies it is not buried. but is
wrapped in a bundle and placed at the
foot of a spruce sapling. If the tree
dies within a year the spirit of the
child dies also.
When grown person dies the body
is kept at least three days in the room
in which it has died When the time
for burial comes the body is buried. OF
a hillside or a high bank facing the
river. There is the village of departed
spirits on the side facing the river
and on the other side the spirits OF

WILL
CONSIDER MANY
HIGHWAY BILLS

WASHINGTON, Nov. 30.-Several
comprehensive highway measures will
be introduced in the present congress
soon after it reassembles next week for
its concluding session. Present indica-
tions are that the bills will agree in
fundamentals and all will call for the
creation of a federal road plan in
which each state, relatively, will be pro-
vided with two main highways, one
running transversely and the other
longitudinaily across the state and
connecting with similar arteries of
communication in adjoining states or
countries. Both Canada and Mexico
are DESTROYS Of making trunk highway
connections with the United States. in
the belief that an interchange of road
travellers will do much to further
friendly international relations
An understanding has been reached
between the American Association of
State Highway Officials and the
American Automobile association TO
support the same measure. 1t will be
remembered that these organizations
led the successful campaign for the
passage of the Federal Aid Road act,
whereby $7500O0O0 is now being ex-
pended in connection with $4,000, 900
contributed by the several states on
highways which form parts of state
road systems. The next effort will
concern inter state or federal high
ways and 500, 100000 annually for five
years is one sum that has been sug-
gested. In addition. there would also
be appropriated an amount yearly for
the continuation of the present road
act.
1t is not unlikely that President Will
son in his address congress on its
opening day may ,.lake reference to
highway transportation in his recon
struction program.
A. A. A. officials are quite in accord
with the action of the senate finance
