ALASKA TRIBES
NO LONGER CARE
FOR TOTEM POLES

Ketchikan, Alaska.-Alaska is
losing its totem poles. Because Of
the gradual decline in observance
Of native customs. totem poles are
no longer erected and the elements
are wearing down those remaining.
The largest collection Of totems in
the north. it is said, is to be found
in the abandoned Indian village of
Old Kassan, Is miles from Ketchi-
kan. The village was deserted sew
eral years ago, after a disastrous
fire, the natives moving to New
Kassan.
Old Kassan's totems are Of many
sizes and descriptions. Some are Of
imposing proportions, with the
four distinct emblems of the bear
the crow. the toad and the eagle
represented. The poles are carved
from base to pinnacle, with gorg'
eous sign language. The totems arr
carved on cedar, which is slow il
perishing.

USE LICENSES TO
IL WE'D AS AID TO
PROFTTEERMG

Berlin.-Marriage licenses are be-
ing utilized for profiteering by Ger
mans. The marriage ''profiteer"
developed out of the situation
which has made necessary the
strict "rationing" Of housing space.
A married couple or a pair about
to be married may obtain permits
sion to occupy certain rooms by
presentation Of the marriage Ii
cense to the housing office.
1t has been discovered that many
marriage licenses have been issued
to men and women who have no in
tention to marry, but having Sc
cured the license. and the permits
sion to occupy the number of rooms
allotted to married persons, sell the
permission to married folks or
others who need rooms and Cannot
find them.
The officials say some profitable
| business has been done, but that
the practice is being stopped by
keeping a watch on those to whom
marriage licenses are granted and
Withdrawing permission to occupy
rooms unless the marriage is per.
formed.
Marriages, however. eclipsed al
previous records in the last year
The humber has increased two
fold over the marriages during tn
war. which fell to less than hal
the normal number.
| MANY young folks today ar
getting married here simply to &c
a room cheaply," said Berlin OF
fetal. 1.-The cost of the dwellin
is cut in half by the marriage O
a man and woman both of whor
are working. They also feel the

in the matter Of food, which is

MANY WOMEN
AND CHILDREN
WORK IN MINES

Rybnik, Upper Silesia-Wmen
laborers in mines and factories and
on railroads are more numerous
than men in several districts of the
coal region here. Girls and boys
of 10 and IL years are regularly
employed, digging bitches, ballast
ing run-ways, pushing trucks, and
doing other heavy work which be-
fore the war was done only by
men.
This is the territory hitherto .
part Of Germany but claimed now
by Poland. A plebiscite, or vote Of
the people, soon will be. held under
the terms Of the peace treaty Of
Versailles to decide whether Upper
Silesia will remain German or be-
come part of Poland.
The German mine owners say
shortage of labors and postwar
economic conditions have forced
the women and children into this
toll, which under German admins
tration was forbidden. There is
also shortage of manpowef be-
cause Of the great number Of SOL
diers from here who were killed in
the war. -.
The women engaged in the heavy
work generally are Poles, dis
tinguished by the bright shawl-like
headdress which they affect. Some
of them have adopted a modifica-
ton of mans apparel as better suit
cd to their work. The correspond.
ent saw three women Of two score
or more who constituted q sec
ton gang" wearing heavy trousers
under their short skirts.
The majority of the women veal
heavy shoes with thick woodel
soles and cloth tops, all homemade
Some have heavy boots. which ap
parently were once tn property o
German soldiers.
/ Coal veins in this section gener
ally follow closely the surface o
