 = AT TIME-RADlo APPARATUS / OF RAINIER DAMAGED

MISSIONARIES TELL IF MURDERS DONE

 TURNS TO NOME

NOME: The gas schooner New York returned to Nome recently after spending the winter at the Little Di- omedes Island and the mainland of Siberia, says the Nome Nugget
 On October 10th, 1922, Reverend N. F. Hover, a missionary of the Evan gelical Christian Church accompanied by MT. and, Mrs. J. A. Earnest, Hans Olsen and six natives, left Nome in the small schooner New York, for the Little Diomedes Island. It was the purpose of the expedition to proceed to the Little Diomedes and there es- tablish a missionary base for the dis semination of the teachings of Christ.
 Having heard that the natives on the island were without sufficient food supplies the local Bureau of Ed ucation had intended to send a large outfit of food stuffs in the New Pork but the supplies of the missionaries took up so much space that very lit tie room was left for the Bureau sup plies. But three-fourths of a ton were taken. It was understood between the missionaries and the Bureau that the New York would later go to Cape Prince of Wales and there procure enough extra supplies to tide over the Diomedes natives.
 AS the New York approached the Islands the anchor was lost and the boat drifted ashore, but no particular damage was done. It was soon real ized that the winter had so far ad- vanced that to go over to Cape Prince of Wales was impossible and the par ty made ready to winter on the isl and
 Native food was scarce turnout the winter and blubber for fuel purposes was hard to get; there was no fresh meat and much distress was in evi- dence. The missionaries gave up all they could spare. Thru the lack of blubber for fuel the natives were forced to consolidate their living quarters and so conserve their scanty fuel supply.
 As spring approached living condi- tions improved. Seal and walrus ar rived and food became plentiful. No sugar, flour, or other civilized foods were available, but the native thrived nevertheless. .,,n s
 Rev. Hover established a literary precedent in creating an alphabet consisting of Latin Russian and Ar menian so combined that the many difficult sounds of the Eskimo are easily articulated, The Eskimo has no written language, his transmission ot legendary lore and events is thru the spoken word The alpbabet was hrst taught to native girl and she in turn translated the gospel into her own language and then translated if to others
 At New Oskum near East Cane is the largest village in the world and until very recently it was uncontami- hated by whites, even traders failing 10 ind a foothold. The natives or Esklmos live in good homes and are well satisfied. Now the Soviet renre- sentatives have sent representatives, and the villages are overrun with them.
 While at the village MT, Hover states that one of the Soviet officers became angered at a remark by fal- low officer and shot and killed him the shooting occurring at the front door of where MT. and Mrs Earnest were staying and the dead man faIlino at the feet of Mrs Earnest, This ex- perence discouraged the ladv from further missionary work.

somebody lonesome come in and clutter it up awhile?"
 You feel something might re- spond: Lift the latch-it's the third door down the corridor, under the tiny arch"
 Such homes always have a lot of dark green ivy, thick, bright ever greens and sentinel, whispering shrubbery that rises almost before their doors to shut them away from casual or curious gaze.
 Some beautiful residences have lately been erected in Birmingham, the architecture and appointments of which are real>assets to the city.
 Lovely Houses
 Such homes are those of Mir. and Mrs. Horace Hammond, Mir. and Mrs. Eugene Munger, Mir. and Mrs. Ralph Sandman, MT. and Mrs. Houston Allen Brice and many others.
 According to Birmingham arch itects--among them Frank Hartley Anderson, William Melton and MT. Knight-the styles now most fa- vored are English, Italian and Span- ish-with the California bungalow holding it's own. Mir. Welton de- clared:
 "Your house must be painted white if you're just up to the min ute. The most favored style, l find, for the present, is Italian, in stucco. A newest catalogue which treats small houses sets out that the California bungalow is most chosen for comfort and prettiness.
 Mir. Anderson related "Very few houses of the finer sort are now constructed of wood. They're built for the future and of such mate rials, brought from Mother Earth, as texture-tile, stone, brick or stuc- co. These have their natural color ings-and of course go unpainted. They're made to last for genera tions."
 Other lovely, attractive domiciles being built are those of MT. and Mrs. William F. Johnson, 2715 Han over Circle; MT. and Mrs. R. L. Morrison, Mountain Terrace; Mr. and Mrs. H. D. Newton, 2312 Twelfth avenue, north; MT. and Mrs. N. E. James, Acipco; MT. and Mrs. Thomas H. Benners, Mountain Terrace; Mir. and Mrs. Robert Me Coy and Mrs. Katherine Erswell.
 "Cliff Gables"
 Mir. and Mrs. Hammond have dubbed their magnificent residence Cliff Gables" How lovely it is,
The Birmingham age-herald., 1923-01-14

as it lifts itself from the side of the mountain, at 4345 Cliff Road.
 Mrs. Hammond chose the name, she said, because the house has seven gables and occupies a rugged cliff. It is constructed of hollow tile and stucco, the architecture be- ing Renaissance in character. The residence presents a V-shape, and is one room deep throughout, the apartments being separated by French doors. These doors being drawn back, give the whole lower floor the appearance of an artistic, warmly-hghted club of exqulslee elegance. With doors closed, the music room, library and parlors can be converted into separate, dainty apartments.
 The walls are remarkably beauti- ful, being paneled, with each panel showing a colortul replica of some famous painting.
 The terrace has been left as God made it. Dogwood trees stretch thelr arms of midnight black above it's woodland lawn these winter days. But, in the springtime, they come to life and put on starry blossoms whose yellow hearts and flutterlng leaves swear to you there can be no unhappiness in all the world! Can you not see that life was made for dancing? And they curvet upon all the breezes and pirot1 1tyitb 1ali0hf
 Other forest trees bud and build each season their canopies of green, and blanket the earth and swoon- ing seeds with theIr confetti of leaves when autumn whispers it is sleepy-time for flowers.
 Smallman Home
 Take charming little trip up the rocky slopes on Milner Heights to the home of Mir. and Mrs. Small man. You'll think you've been walked beneath sunshine skies Of Italy. For the residence is an Ital- ian villa, built of stucco, with !ene- tian blue trimmings.
 It has two stories, from which wide windows can be flung open to sunsets, and when spring comes, to the fragrance of thousands of per fumed flowers which ,tud the ter races, and march like coloriully clad soldiers up and down between trellises, and cluster in cosy angles of the yard.
 There are three greensward ter races--on the sides and back of the house, these being outlined by the
