in fact she also makes the living
for her lazy husband and their lit
tie child, although as yet she is
only sixteen years old.
Even as children, they learn to
train the dogs to pull the sleds. AS
they grow older, the girls learn to
work in the home and the boy
learns the trade that he chooses.
They can choose to be carpenters,
tanners Canning the thousands of
skins that the trappers catch),
bookkeepers, mill-workers, wire
less workers, or can choose the
more native vocations of curing
fish, trapping all kinds of animals
for their fur, or herding reindeer.
Their food consists mainly of
fish, of seal, of reindeer meat, some
bread and roots. To eat, all the
family sits down on the floor,
around a bowl of food, and then
everyone eats out of the same bowl.
This doesn't sound at all nice to us.

All little Eskimo children like
each other, and when they play
they very, very seldom quarrel,
which is one custom we might
learn from them. During the many
years that Mr.. Replogle worked in
Alaska, he only saw one quarrel
among the children, and that hap
pened to be Jennie Outwater fight
ing little boy. And by the way,
Jennie came out victorious from
the struggle.
All these Alaskan children are
very proud to be citizens of the
United States. Old Glory is seen
every where.
The first Christmas tree that
ever came to Noorvik drove the
children wild with delight, and
even the big-fclks too. 1t was only
tiny Spruce tree, whose widest
branches measured twenty inches.
but it was tall and strong and load
ed with tons of presents. And
such presents! You would never
guess some of them. They ranged
from a package of needles to an
immense empty water barrel.
But now they don't have any tree
nor presents. They have found
another way, a very happy one to
celebrate this wonderful day. The
children's organization that is &C
tive in relief of hunger and cold all
the year round, sees to it that ev-
eryone is especially helped at this
time and at their Christmas party,
they give an offering to the poor
people of their district.
And so We see that our brothers
and sisters way up in the cold, cold
snowlands are very much like us
after all, friendly, loving life and
quick to respond to all teaching
and training when such opportuni-
ties come.

thinks sounds a great deal better
than the grunts that the Eskimos
use in speaking their own language.
The children are very brown and
their hair Is as straight and stiff
as pine needles only longer, and
their faces are very round, but
they're very likeable children, all
the same. Their chief dress is
called a Parka, which is q one

hood and all) made all of fur,
probably of reindeer skins.

All that is taught in our schools,
is taught to them in their school
year, which lasts nine months, and
sewing to the girls besides. The
worst punishment that can be CIV

school; and if the whole school has
to be severely punished, the teach

that makes the children feel very,
very bad.

Jennie Outwater, daughter of the
judge of the village was very, very
slow in her studies. So, though
only nine years old, she sat up,
sometimes two or three nights,
studying, so that she would not
have to go to school without her
lessons. She won out and was
such good student that last year.

too small for white people to enter,
lived another little girl. Her name
was Lydia Taft. The home was
one room with ceiling that was
only four feet high, and the only
door was very small, and of course
there were no windows, for they
didn't know about windows then,
and the whole thing was covered
with sod. Inside were the parents,
the children and the sled dogs; and
Lydia was one of the children. She
liked to sew and learned all she
could about it,. Now she is the

School is one of the greatest
pleasures of the children that live
way up beyond the Arctic Circle of
our own continent" said Mr..
Charles Replogle, in speaking to
Aunt Polly, the other day. Mr.. Rep
logic has been working in the serv-
ice of the United States Govern
ment and in cooperation with
Friends Missionaries in several
places in Alaska, for many years,
and knows a great deal about little
brown Eskimos that live there.
The wind blows very, very hard
in Northern Alaska, too hard for
even Eskimos to endure, and Esbi-
mos are very strong and are used
to winds that blow so constantly
and severely that person out in it
can't see but few yards distance
ahead of him, and can scarcely
breathe. That was the way it was
in a certain, tiny, dirty little Alas
kan village not many years ago.
Moving the Village.
So they decided to move the vii
lage. 1t wasn't much to leave
just few small huts made OF
earth, just like the old cave-dwel-
lers-and there wasn't even so
very much to move. OF course it
took some time to get everyone to
move to another place, (even if it
was more sheltered from the windy
for, of course they had always
lived there and that seemed reason
enough to some of them for staying,
in spite of any amount of wind.
But at last, it was all arranged,
and they began to pack up. This
consisted in hitching up the rein
deer (real for sure ones, white,
black and brown ones) and the
beautiful dogs to the sleds, and put
ting in very few furs, few pro-
visions, and the family and then
starting. They were then loaded
onto great fiat boat and taken
to their new home, which they
called Noorvik (Which is pro-
nounced just as it is spelled).
So they settled down and built
new and better homes, a church, a
school, a store and few other lit
tie buildings. 1t is only a very
small and a very plain little place,
that school, but all the children
come, in fact some of the pupils
are more than children, for some
men, seventy years old, and some
women, seventy-five years old, go
to school and have learned to read
out of the second and the third
readers. First of all every one
gathers in the school room early
in the morning to hear the news
that has come since the morning
before, by wireless, for there is a
wireless line there and they know
all the latest news about as soon

Women Doctors Con demn Corsets
 But As WOm en They Wear Them

NEW YORK, Oct. 25.-Do women need the corset or don't they9s
 Men doctors are proverbially known to condemn corsets and the women doctors of the International Confer ence of Women Physicians, now being held in New York, are no exception to the rule.
 When the subject of corsets came up, the verdict was mo corsets.''
 The woman physicians stood united against the corset in the conference. uBt, out in the lobby, as woman to woman, they talked in a different ein.
 Dr. Constance Long, a noted medi- cal psychologist of London, England, said:
 q recognize that the modern corset has quite as much of subconscious effect on women as conscious, which is to say, that the idea of having Slight brace, to hold up the figure or act as a, reminder to the wearer to

 pr. Anne Young of Canada, erst- while missionary to Ceylon, said:
 T consider that,t wear or not to wear corset, is purely a matter for the individual to decide, precisely as it is in the matter of lingerie"
 Dr. Valeria H. Parker of Hartford, came out squarely and said that per sonally she felt that the corset is oftener than not a necessity against untidiness.
 Dr. EHen c. Potter of the Woman's Medical College of Philadelphia, said. if sufficient care were exercised in the selection of a corset, it was un- doubtedly help to correct posture and, insofar as it also was help to the aesthetic phase of life, it, the cor set, is distinctly to be taken as a mat ter of course.
 Incidentally a large per cent of the women physicians attending the con- ference are beautifully corrected.

BAKER |S AFTER
 HERMAN AND LEONARD
By Fred Turbyvilie

Snowy Baker, famous Australian promoter, is after Pete Herman and Benny Leonard. He wants Pete to make the trip to the Antipodes and swap punches with Vince Blackburn Australian champion. And he wants Leonard to meet Lew Edwards champion lightweight of Kangaroo land Edwards recently cleaned up everything in the Philippines and a Manila promoter offered Leonard $2O,OOO to make the trip over and meet Lew.
 But it is doubtful if either Leon ard or Herman will consent to make the trip at this time. Prosperity is being enjoyed by the mitt artists right at home now and unless Baker would increase his offer of $15,000 to each man, considerably, we doubt if they would consider it. Also both Herman and Leonard would demand more than one bout if they made such, long trip.
 Baker recently announced he had made bid for Flyweight Champion Wilde to box in Australia.
 Baker writes interestingly of the boxing situation on the other side 5f the globe:
 Fritz Holland was badly beaten on points by the Australian heavy weight, George Cook, at the Sydney Stadium on August 2S. There was a big difference in their weights, Cook being IS st. 4 lbs. and Holland Il st. 10 lbs. However, Cook was very much the superior boxer of the two and won easily.
 Lew Edwards and Harry Stone will meet for the lightweight cham pionship of Australia as soon as George Baillieu returns from his world trip on behalf of Stadium Ltd.
 Jimmy Clabby met Tommy Uren, middleweight champion of Australia at the Stadium in this city on Aug ust 30, and was defeated on points. . The bout went twenty rounds. Clab- by arrived on the scene hog fat and nearly two pounds overweight This proved a drag on him and Uren won fairly comfortably.
 "A big contingent of English and French boxers have left for these shores under the Stadiums Ltd. man agement. All Americans of class are invited to apply direct. There is a big welcome here for them if they have the goods.
 Jimmy Clabby is returning to America with Tom Andrews early next year. Andrews is at present en route for here from the United States. with team of boxers in- cluding Charlie White"
