ESkIM0S HAVE
STRANGE LAWS
Hunters Must Divide Their Game
With 0thers-ReIative Kills
Condemned Man.

Detroit, Mich.-The strange and
democratic laws of the Far North
where the EskimOs are ruled by q
code of ethics all their own and where
the hunter cannot claim the game he
kills but must share it with his fell
lows. were discussed recently by Roy
J. Smell, the Arctic explorer who is
spending two weeks here, addressing
Detroit school children.
1.-THE Eskimo had many strange
laws before the white man came" Mr..
Smell said. .They were communists.
Ii you killed bearded seal, walrus or
polar bear, the meat did not all belong
to you. You were obliged, as soon as
the killing was accomplished to stand
up and wave your hands while you
shouted as loud as you could
Kill Man With Whale Gun.
"All those who answered your call
were entitled to a supply of the meat
and it very often happened that the
successful hunter got less than some
of the others. If you neglected to do
this and hid the meat away you were
likely to be Oyertaken with some ca
lamity. You might suddenly become
blind, it was thought, or your children
might die.
The EskimOs killed the first white
man who had my job shot him with
a whale gun. Three young men did
1t. One man set the gun in place, an
other marked spot on the door, then
Knocked, and the third pulled the trig-
ger. Since the whale gun is as large
as small cannon, my predecessor
was instantly killed.
Relative Must Kill.
"The Eskimos themselves captured
two OF the young men and executed
them. When the United States reve-
nue. cutter arrived she sent a shell or
two over on the beach to let the Els
KINDS know what could be done, then
told them to go and get the other
young man.

he too was condemned to die And
just here comes one of the Eskimo's
strange customs. If a man must die
he must be killed by one of his near

INITIAL To
Orders Structures Which Will
Make One Of Best in Vet
Grams Service.

Extensive improvements at Mt.
Alto Hospital, including the erec-
ton of an attendants building
and a recreation hall, were or
dered today by Director Hines,
Of the Veterans Bureau.
Director Hines said he intended
to make the institution a model
hospital. A recent inspection con-
WINGED him that conditions were
far below the desired standard.
Danger From Fires.
The principal need at Mt. Alto,
as seen by the bureau chief. is the
removal Of the temporary struc-
lures. which have furnished dan
gerous fire hazard and have been
the object of censure by veterans.
Director Hines took up the matter
directly today with bureau officials
and told them to start the machin.
cry moving Immediately to remedy
the defects.
The work will require between
$50, 900 and $4,000 for the neces-
sary buildings, equipment and re-
moval of old buildings. It was said
at the Veterans Bureau today the
required funds are available as the
result of low bidding for construc.
ton of the veterans hospital at st.
Cloud, MINI.
No Criticism of Food.
The bureau had set aside about
81 ,00O, 900 for the st. Cloud job, and
the lowest bid, which was accepted.
amounted to $75O,0O0. The money
saved through this procedure can
legally be applied to the work at
Mt. Alto.
Director Hines had no criticism
to make of the food, service or
management Of Mt. Alto. He
stated his sole intention was to
make the local institution one of
the best in the United States, and
hoped to reach this end by the
construction now planned.
Work on the project will be
started as soon as the funds are
allowed and the necessary specifica-
tons are scomplete.
