or more below par England can sell
to the United States at a great adj
vantage. We can sell American
goods abroad only at a great dis
advantage because we must add the
abnormal rate of exchange to the
goods to get into foreign markets.
Premier Lloyd George recently de-
clared, when sterling was selling at
a discount CT Is per cent, that the
discount really represented a pro
tective tariff of Is per cent on
goods manufactured in England.
Certainly it is helping to keep
American goods put Of that country.
THE only remedy for this con-
dition is for the United States to
buy foreign securities and extend
long time credit for merchandise.
We are in a strong economic posi-
ton. The nations of Europe must
have our cotton and wheat and,
since they are so heavily indebted to
us and we must extend them many
more millions to put them on their
feet what IS the difference whether
we buy their bonds or send them
our merchandise?
Everyone in Wall street knows
that If the peace treaty had beef
signed in Washington an interna-
tional exchange committee would
have been organized long before now
to stabilize exchange and bring
about their readjustments. Never
during the darkest days of the war,
when the Germans were almost at
Paris, did Britain and France ex-
change go to where it is now. The
British, during the war, by a system
of credits with the United States,
had sterling begged to $4.52.

Last year, Mr.. Siegel said, the
government realized a net profit from
naturalization fees of $45O,0OO and
the profit to date since the begin
ming of the immigration service has
been $4,000, 900. Such a court, it
was said, could expedite hearings

released on their own recognizance

A naturalization court, presided
over by federal judges similar to the
circuit court of appeals and where
it would not be known who was to
administer the oath of allegiance,
declared Mr.. Siegel, would lend dig
nifty and force to one of the most
sacred obligations imposed upon the
alien and start him right on the
road to patriotism and good citi-
zenship.

TRANSITION OF JICARILLO
INDIAN RESERVATION

ALBUQUERQUE, N. NJ. Dee. %,
From a barren waste of arroyos
and windswept mountains to fertile
plain and grazing hillsides is the
transition of the Jicarillo Indian
Reservation, near Dulca, N. NJ, in
the period of a few short years,
since 1916.
Cato Sells, United States Indian
commissioner, recently completed a
tour of inspection of the famous
reservation that was doomed to de-
cay, with the redmen rapidly dwind-
ling from the white plague. In
1916 statistics indicated that the
death rate far exceeded the birth
rate, and some experts" even
named the date when the Jicarillos
would be extinct.
Through the efforts of the Indian
commission at Washington the res
ervation TODAY is a stretch of rich
farmland, with hundreds of herds of
cattle and sheep grazing on the hill
sides; the redskins are happy and
prosperous and enjoying enlighten-
ment from numerous vocational
schools established in the district.

money right and left. 1t is a fact
that about so per cent of the minor
league clubs have for many years
been getting by" on the skin of
their teeth and many have gone to
the wall, while others managed to
live by virtually passing the hat"
among the real fans of their home
cities and towns.
If the majors will agree TO pay
more literally for drafted players it
is practically certain that a new
agreement will be entered into be-
fore another baseball aso rolls
around. There r varied ideas
among the minor leaguers regarding
what form the new agreement
should take. For instance, some of
them want the National commission
so constituted that it will pass on
all disputes in baseball, thus wreck
ing the usefulness of the national
board of arbitration. But the main
bone of contention is the price OF
drafted players. Once that is salts
f~actorily arranged peace will settle
over baseball as a whole.

A sensation was caused when one
witness said he came literally from

Later he recovered consciousness
and crawled away.

thereupon remarked you won't

ESKIMO MAY HAVE
CONCRETE $4,000
But STEFANSSON SAYS THEY
WOULD ONLY LEAD TO
DEATH

NEW YORK, Dec. 20.-The move
ment to modernize the Eskimo by
providing him with concrete huts in
place of his picturesque snow
'igloos," as suggested by an Of
fetal of the United States bureau of
fisheries, would be the death of the
denizen of the icy north, in the
opinion of Vilhjalmur Stefansson,
the Arctic explorer. Not only is
the Eskimo devoted to his age-long
habitation as the South Sea Island
ers are to their traditional garb of
flower garlands and fresh smiles,
but he is far healthier. warmer and
more comfortable in his domed
mansion of snow blocks than he
| could be in any modern house of
concrete.
The statement that the natives of
the Prybiloff Islands were about to
discard their snow huts for modern
concrete huts, finding the gales of
the Boring sea too strong for the
former. upon which the story of the
intended change of Eskimo habits
was based, Mr.. Stefansson charac-
terized as too silly for discussion.
The explorer, talking at his head
quarters at the National Geographi-
cal Society building here, said that
the Prybiloff Islanders had never
lived in snow but in wooden huts
and that further north, where the
natives do live in snow houses, it
would be next to impossible to con-
vert them to any other dwelling.
Their igloo serves as a home for
two or three weeks. Then they build
a new one. Because it is new it is
clean and sanitary. 1t is as warm
and comfortable as your library. A
candle gives as much illumination
as three electric lights, because of
the intense Wilderness Of the
snow. The snow house will stand
under any conditions. In all, the
igloo is as comfortable a home as a
man could wish.
1.-The concrete hut, like the wood
, en- hut, must be uncomfortable and
unsanitary. Wherever the natives
have changed from the snow to the
wooden home there has followed
nnl tprhoT1 nnI q tr0-
mendous increase in the death rate.
1.-THE Eskimos are a migratory
race. Contact with civilization has
affected them and they are dying off.
They must soon be extinct and the
concrete hut hastens that extinc-
ton. The EskimOs are like the
house of concrete and see what hap
pens.
"Still, the Eskimos might be con-
verified to the concrete hut went on
Mr.. Stefansson, smiling. IF it be-
comes the fashion. Should con-
crete homes become fashionable, all
Eskimos would soon be living in
them. Human nature is the same
the world over. Let some n in
troduce the wearing of furs, as a
fashion, in the Zulu Islands, and the
natives there would wear furs.
| Women wear furs in California and
Florida, where the climate is just
as hot as on the Zulu Islands. So
you see, you never can tell"

NEW YORK, Dec 20.-Co-opera-
ton between the major and minor
agues along time-honored lines
with. perhaps a new wrinkle here
and there is necessary to the sue
cess of the game insofar as the
minors are concerned.
This much has been brought home
forcibly to a majority of the smaller
minor league owners, who, after
tasting freedom from the draft and
quaffing literally of independence"
decided that somebody slipped a
jigger of vinegar into the sody pop.
In short. a liberal majority of the
minors want to climb back on the
good old ship baseball as she used
to be run, with the exception that
they are asking a new scale of prices
for the players they turn out.
At the recent minor league meet
ing at Springfield, Mass, a COM
mittee of minor leaguers vas APP
pointed to attend the annual pow
WOW of the National commission
which is to convene at Cincinnati
next January to offer suggestions
and lend it's assistance in the forma-
ton of a new government for the
game.
Whether the game is going to
have anything that resembles a new
government outside of the appoint
ment of a new chairman of the Ma
tional commission remains to be
seen, but that the majors and min
ors will probably patch VI the
breach brought about by the abroga-
ton of the National agreement about
a year ago is expected.
In the first place the majors were
1oath to see the National agreement
pushed overheard, as it robbed them
of their ancient right" to draft
minor league players. Secondly,
the minors believed that they were
on the threshold OF untold pros
perity because they had visions of
fat prices for players, of rival
league club owners falling over each
other to sign up the minor league
stars.
But the bubble broke. The majors
failed to hop on each others backs
- bid for players. They purchased
a few and let it go at that. And the
various classes of minor leaguers,
from IA down to Glass d. which
had the privilege of drafting from
the class just below at a stated price
did no drafting except in two or
three cases.
The result vas a panicky feeling
among minor leaguers, especially
those below Glass A. and it prompt
ed the fright about face" perform
ers by the minors at Springfield.
Though the little fellows are
eager to get back to a working
agreement with the majors, they are
not on their knees, so to speak. The
majors can't get along profitably
without them. and the minors need
the majors even more. But they
believe, and rightfully, hat dealings

rying the hod a long time and losing
