IS. @. S." CALL FOR DENTIST
Residents Of Alaskan island Med
Services of Man Skilled with
Drills and Forceps.

Is any dentist hunting for loca-
ton? Here's one. 1t is on Afognak,
an island lying east of the entrance OF
Cooks inlet, on the Alaskan coast.
While the icebergs float around &C.
casionally and bump one another in
the sea like giant monsters in Il game

warm up there now, as the summer Is

Quitoes. But whether an Arctic win
ter or a brief summer is on. people
will have the toothache up there near
the Arctic circle the same as do the
sweltering residents these days along
the thirtysixth parallel Of latitude.
Miss Virginia Clark, an accom-
plished young woman who was born
and reared on the island of Afognak,
and is now teaching the youth Of her
native land and village, sends out this
cry for dentist. The information Is
given In a bulletin OF the Alaska Bu-
reau of Publicity:
"A dentist located here would have
q snap" is the only information given
out by Miss Clark. She gives no clew
as to the financial standing Of the
patients, but the lucky dentist could
no doubt fight Off the II. G. l.. night
mare by doing a piece Of dental work
for an Eskimo and taking his pay in
walrus meat. Miss Clark does say
that potatoes and garden truck thrive
there, the fishing is good, and there
are plenty of CLAIMS and wild ducks.
Copper also is found in paying guam
titles, and placer gold mining is being
successfully carried on along the
beaches.

After relating how the board OF

at the expense of his colleagues by
adding that this same board had ana

Brinu Gifts to France.

A delegation from Abyssinia bearing
rich gifts Of ivory and silks for the
announced purpose Of congratulating
France on her recent victory, appeared
at the peace conference In Paris. This
is in strict accordance with the ancient
oriental procedure. The real purpose
of q visit Is not disclosed until prelim-
mary ceremonies are concluded. These
native Africans-claiming descent from
Solomon and the queen of Sheba-
wished to be in on the carving up OF
the world, for they have interests
which are vital to them although little
known to the rest of the world. Seat
ed in that natural bastion Of Africa,
the Abyssnians have lived In greater
or less security for unknown centuries.
They are not negroes, but mixture
Of Hamitic and Semitic races, with a
culture Of their own and protesting the

The BrOokings Register announced
last week that it contemplates raising
its subscription price to $3.50 per year

such move necessary. Never has
the price of print paper been as high
as 1t is at the present time, and it is
steadily advancing by leaps and
bounds and it is getting SO that many
of the smaller papers are being forced
out of business. Last week the Ban

compelled to suspend owing to the
high cost Of everything connected with
