ESKIMO WEBS
ONLY LONG,
HAIRED GIRL

q HOULD an Eskimo gentle
man suddenly be trans
planted to our country and
told to find wife. he would pass
by many of our loveliest girls with
disdain.
Our young men would wonder
why the Eskimo was so hard TO
please and would marvel at his
Indifference to beauty. But his
brothers of the North would have
no difficulty in understanding
why some Of the lovely girls of
this land did not arouse enthusi-
asm in the heart Of the visiting
Eskimo.
They would Immediately no.
tice that the girls he passed by
without a thought although
they might be fascinatingly beau
tiful-were girls with short hair
the bob of the latest cut.
Such a girl is simply not to be
thought of by an Eskimo as a
possibility for a wife.
The reason for this is not
clear.
Nevertheless, it is an acknowl-
edged fact that an Eskimo girl
who for any reason is obliged to
shorten her locks will not be an
noyed or delighted with a single
proposal of marriage-until her
hair has again grown to its nor
NAL length.
It is needless to say that should
the present feminine fashion or
wearing the hair short reach as
far north as the home Of the Els.
kimos, it would meet with an
emphatic rebuff from every Esk1-
mo girl.
For there in the north country
it is very necessary for a girl TO
marry It is her only means or
livelihood should her father die.
For the women-although they do
their share in the fight for ex-
istence by keeping house and
making clothes for their husbands
as well as themselves-are abs9-
lutely dependent upon a husband
to bring home meat. hunting IS
the one industry in the Arctic.
AS a result, Eskimo fathers are
most anxious to marry Off their
daughters. And the girls are
anxious to marry in order to be
assured of food for the rest or
their lives.
Because long hair is require
ment for marriage, a short-haired
girl in the polar regions is a Curl
osity..

CHAIRMAN ADAMS
WILL BE CANNED"
BYG,0. P. LEADERS
Lasker, Hays And New Are
Mentioned As Possible
Successors
WASHINGTON BUREAU |
THE AGE-HERALD

John t. Adams. chairman of the
republican national committee will
be canned" it is learned today. He
will be suffered to withdraw grace
fully if he selects that course. If he
stands for reelection, however, he
will be thrown out.
Adams has never been popular with
the leaders of the republican party.
They regard him as good routine
man, but not worthy captain. They
removed him in 1920 in Nvor Of VIII
H. Hays. They will remove him
again as soon as the convention of
1924 dominates a candidate.
This certainty followed an attack
of Mr.. Adams, in the name of the
committee. against European powers
those powers in withholding payment
to the United States for the part it
played in occupying Germany.
% o O
Adams Chnerined.
The consensus of opinion was and
is that Adams was moved to assail
Europe because of his chagrin over
the act of the President in urging
American participation in the court
of the League of Nations. 1t is
thought that Adams used the pub
licity of the committee to assail indi-
rectly the President and Secretary
Hughes by endeavoring to prove to
the people that European countries
were friendly with the United States
only for selfish reasons, and that 1t
would be folly in any wise to deal
with them.
The republican national committee,
moving in an effort to re-elect tho
administration, is in part the admin
istration, 1t is pointed out. Recog-
nizing that fact Secretary Hughes
forced the chairman of the commit
tee to withdraw his propaganda.
~
Tribune Opposes Him.
Then 1t was that responsible lead
ers reached the conclusion that
Adams must go for the good of the
and the country. The New York
Tribune. "stand-pat" republican in
its politics, called for the head
of Adams, and others went out to get
1t. 1t was remembered that before
the United States entered the World
war, Adams was the author of pro-
German literature which, while gen.
orally deprecated then, redounded to
the interest of the republican candi-
date in 1922. Every German vote in
the United States. it Is estimated,
was cast for Harding against tho
candidate who urged American en-
trance into the League of Nations.
There is considerable doubt as to
the successor of Adams. Several
gentlemen have offered their services.
Only one offer has been declined that
of George Harvey, amba ssador to
Great Britain. Albert D. Lasker and
VIII Fl. Hays will act as advisors
pending the election of a new chair
man. 1t is regarded as possible that
the postmaster general, Harry S.
New, will agree to accept the chair
manship, although with the consent
and approval of the President, Mr..
Lasker could have it If he wanted
it, it is learned positively.
