One Kind Of Tragedy That Has
Always Followed the Ad-

Washington, d. C.-"Announcement
that influenza is ravaging the natives
of the western coast of Alaska and
has resulted in many deaths, recalls
that one kind of tragedy has always
followed the advance of civilization"
says bulletin from the Washington
headquarters of the National Geo
graphic society. primitive people in
out-of-the-way places, once entirely Is
olated from civilization, have been
threatened with determination by
even such ordinarily unimportant civ
ilized' diseases as measles. 1t is not
a matter of unhealthful regions" con-
tinues the bulletin. "for the scenes of
such tragedies often have climates
bracing and upbuilding to whites and
to such natives as escape the first on

the new diseases.
Marked Handicap.
"The natives of Alaska had In their
habits of life a marked handicap In
fighting disease. They lived-and
many still live-in wooden houses
partly below the ground level. These
had their single doors always closed.
and were without windows. There
was one opening in the roof, out of
which the smoke from central fire
was supposed to find its way. AS
many as so and 60 persons lived In
the larger houses and competed for
the little available oxygen amid reek-
ing odors Of rancid oil and decaylng
fish and fish-eggs. Sanitation was un-
known; all debris and refuse to be dis
posed Of was merely thrown a little
way from the doorway.
when civilization automatically
transplanted its disease TO Alaska, The
field was TOD fertile, and the crop
grew rankly. tuberculosis Is now con-
tinually at work killing off the native
population, but the most spectacular in
roads have been made by measles and
smallpox, which have ragged from time
to time since 1912 like fires in dry
tbicket. BY the time an immunity at
all comparable to that of the civilized
world was developed, nearly half the
population Of many regions had been
swept away. In later years the work
of the United States public health SER
vice has done much to raise the health
standard among the natives.
South Sea Isles Hit.
Exactly the same thing happened
in that paradise of isolation, the Is

tragedy did not overtake natives

rather men and women Of ideal ply

Of seconds"
DR.. Joseph Danna, noted New Or
leans surgeon, wearing his hat and
coat, had just finished his work at the
hospital and was leaving at that mo-
nient. As he passed near by the young
man recognized him.
Doctor Ready to Help.
"Oh. doctor, can't you help?"
Certainly" the doctor replied.
Without moments hesitation
there was no time to send for instru-
ments on the floor above-the surgeon
pulled his penknife from his pocket
and slit the throat of the dying man.
The nurse came running back with a
tube, which the doctor inserted In the
mans throat, and held the side Of the
incision together with blood-stained fin-
gers. Slowly color returned to the
cheeks and the pulse began to beat
freely.
Doctor Danna turned to the son, who
had watched the unusual operation.

After the organs began to function
normally the tube was removed and
the incision stitched.

The operation had taken less than
one minute; longer probably would
have meant death, the surgeon as

5 Mr.. Rougelot complained Of stran-,

remedies had no effect, and he was put
into an automobile by his son and
rushed to the hospital. He became
suddenly worse and before the insti-,
tuition was reached he had ceased to-
breathe and his pulse had stopped, the
son said.
Similar operations upon the throat
known as tracheotomy, have been per.

water, placed the rod across the seat
and stretched himself out for nap.
An hour later Cap awoke and found
his boat in the center of the river, rap

distance but we can get there If We
hurry"
So the Brownies all hurried along
and Just before they reached the hay
wagon Bennie Brownie .emptied
great enormous suitcase which he had
and handed every little Brownie
hay coat.
Now the hay coats were just the
color Of the hay and the Brownies put
them on and pulled the hoods, which
were attached to the coats, over their
heads.
In this way they could not be seen.
If any one came near them they put
their arms up over their faces and
their arms were covered, Of course.
by the special suits.
Well they did have such jolly ride
and when 1t was all over Bennie
Brownie said: Lets have hay
party tonight in the loft"
And the other Brownies thought IL
would be a splendid idea. For they
had enjoyed their. ride SO much that
they did want to jump UP and down
in the hay and play in 1t and throw
1t at each other and have some won
derful games.
Lets invite the others to come"
said Bennie Brownie.
"Oh yes" the other Brownies
shouted.
so Bennle Brownie and the other
Brownies went around and asked the
Fairy Queen and Princess Fairy Joy
and Princess Fairy Twilight-Bell and
Fairy Ybab and all of the other
Fairies to GOMEZ to the hay party.
Every one Of the Fairies accepted.
Then the Brownies asked Peter
Gnome and all of the other Gnomes
and every Gnome accepted.
Next the Brownies Invited the men,
bers Of the Oaf family and they all
accepted.
They invited the members Of the
Bogey family and they all came. too.
for they were such jolly little crea-
lures and not at all the horrible
creatures which some gossips had
made them out to be.
They wouldn't frighten children for
anything. There wasn't single
naughty Bogey.
And yet they had heard people say
that the Bogey man would catch q
bad child.
They thought II was very mean to
say such things about their family,
and the Breeze Brothers had taken
around many messages, whispering to
people and asking them not to say
such unkind things Of nice, jolly
family.
Then the Brownies invited Effie
Elf and all the other Elves to come
to the hay party and all Of the Elves
accepted.
They invited Old Mr.. Giant to come
and Old Mr.. Giant said he would have
to sit down most Of the time for he
was sure II he stood up he'd hit his
head against beam but that he
would be delighted to come and that
he would be careful.
They invited Witty Witch and she
accepted with delight.

SEEK LIVES OF USEFULNESS
Amercan-Born Chinese Girls Work Hard to Fit Themselves to Help
 Less Fortunate.

Few people are acquainted with that unique type of girl, the American born Chinese. She is far different from her sisters in the Orient. As a rule she has made the most of her op- p0rtunities in America.
 The Chinese have the genius to make work pleasure and an art. Their student life is full of delight. Study for them seems to be an in stinct.
 Miss Edna Cameron, who has taught a great number of Chinese girls in Portland (Ore.) schools, recently said that she found them honest, diligent, fair-minded and always polite and kind.
 Tt would seem quite impossible for them to be unkind or to do an impo- lite act. By nature they are honest, contented and hard-working and ex- press gratitude for their education," she said
 Many Chinese girls in America are fitting themselves for business. either In the Orient or in this country.
 Ghere are scores of young Chinese girls in America who have attained a vast amount Of the good offered in this land and who now are dreaming of going to the land of their ancestors to teach and help the girls there.

It's Bay cf Glory Forgotten.

You Will perhaps remember that when Dewey got through with the Spanish Warships in Manila bay, about the only Gle left of any value was the Isla De LuZon, a small gunboat which dhe navy refitted and used effectively in the archipelago for some years. Last winter 1 saw her in one of the sllal- low harbors of the West Indies. The Navy department had sold her for song to some skipper who had refitted lser as a wreching boat and was living on her with his family among a small wilderness of ropes ana winches. Of course, with so many demands on the treasury as there are, it would se non- sense to spend money for mere senti- ment, but I felt something of a pang of regret that the only memento of this glorious naval victory should meet such fate.-New York Correspondent

If little culex pipiens, homebred New York mosquito, is what's biting you, go get goldfish or an oil can. They are the only known cures for the mos quito plague, Dr. Biggs says. It's case of patronizing the Standard Oil company or the pet store.
 The doctor is not dOgmatic in advis- Ing purchase of goldfish to catch and eat mosquito eggs and infant mos quitoes before they grow up and de- velop augers. Most any fish will do minnow, tarpon, tuna, landlocked sal mon, squaretail trout. Goldfish are suggested not only because they add to the beauty of scenes, but because they are so affectionate, resembling nothing so much as an Airedale.
 All fish are fond of mosquitoes as hors d'oeyres. Choice is optional. That is the substance of the advice to tor tured citizens on the verge of losing their religion by Commissioner Biggs in series of bulletins and health talks.
