CORPORAL PUNISHMENT
 OF GIRLS Is OPPOSED

LONDON, Aug, B. Gaming of gir, pupils in elementary schools by their male teachers, a practice which has been general in England for many years, recently has become the subject of much criticism by the Daily Mail which has started an agitation for it's abandonment. Many letters have been written the news papers, the majority of the writers advocating the inflicting of corporal punishment of girls when necessary, by women teachers. They protest that sensitive girl may never fully recover from the shame of being canod by man"
 The Lord Mayor of Bristol, who had go years experience as head master of school, said he knew the practice of men administering cor poral punishment to girls common but he Was opposed to it.

EARS FROZEN

Because the coal and fuel were on .hc opposite S.ac of the rocky island Mr. DooIcy suffered through an in tcnscIy cold winter without sufficient wormth. At one time his ears frozc and he suffered other physical hard ships. The coal and supplies were re- moved to Gambcll the following spring.
 Mrs. Tashrcr spent nine months at Southwest cape mtil a launch picked her up for the voyage to Nome. Southwc,, cape k a stormy, rocky village bo.douing on the Boring Sea, but Mrs. Tasnncr gathered a class of seven native children and even held night schools for the parents. Mrs. TaShucr went North three years ago, for the Methodist mission, and later went to Wales. near Cape Prince of Wales. as a government nurse. She served during the influenza epidemic and Was the only white nurse in the section. Last fail she went to St.. Lawrence island.
 While in Gambcll, Mr, Doolcy was visited by a Russian trader who had been isolated in Indian Point on the Siberian coast opposite St. Lawrence island for three years. He crossed from Siberia to America waters in whaling boat. His trip was made for the purpose of asking Mr. DooIcy whether or not the bolShcviki armies were fighting in Siberia. After get ting the information, the trader re- turned to his Siberian camp.
 Mrs. Tashner and Mir. DooIcy will remain in Seattle for several days the former intending to visit hcr home in Clinton. O., and the latter visiting relatives in Pctalma, Calf.
 "I expect to return to the North, " said Mrs. TaShnCr.

.utclligcucer is as follows:

In sixteen foot launch and accom- panied by four native, the two teachers left Gambcll, a small native village on St. Lawrence island, June 2l, intending to make the perilouS voyage to Nome, a distance of nearly 200 miles across Boring strait. The small craft carried only temporary engine. but the teachers set out um- dauntcd. When q short distance out llr. Doolcy was compelled to make adjustments at intervals of every hour. After being two days and two nights caught in drift ice Mr. Dooley observed the cutter Bear in the dis tancc. The small American flag on the mast head of the launch was i'm mcdjately moved up and down as 8 signal.

BEAR DIPS FLAG

"Thc Bear likewise dipped her flag, but seemed to bc moving away from uS." explained lIr. Doolcy. "Not hav- ng and maritime experience We did not know what signal to use. Finally we used a SnowShilt worn by one Of the natives and We waved the shirt and the flag together. When this was done, the cutter Bear hurried to our assistance and lowed Us to Nome in our little craft"
 St Lawrence island iS 100 miles long and from thirty to sixty miles wide. It k located about forty miles from the coast of Siberia in Boring Soa. Last autumn Mr. Doolcy and Ms. TaShncr took passage on tn" cutter Bear for the village of Gam bell. on. the coast side of the Island. Storms, however, prevented the Bear from landing at Gambcll, so the teachers with thirty-fivc tons Of coal, school supplies and native store sup plies valued at $500 were all landed at Southwest cape, village of twcn- ty-two men. women and children on the western side of the island.
 A precipitouS mountain Scperatcd Southwest cape and Gambell, so Mir. Doolcy, unable to take Mrs. Tashncr or the supplies, mushed sixty miles over the mountan to Gambell where he spent the winter with l15 natives
