it was the greatest work in the world

The Doctor paid a high tribute to

public Schools" averred Dr. Magili.
He declared that the people must

Eskimo Govt Lesson In Simplicity

Eskimo Govt Lesson In Sisnpiicity
The Eskimo government is very
simple. Each tiny village is indie
pendent of all others. There is
practically no tribe cohesion and
head man of each village is recog-
nized as an adviser rather than ruler.
Established customs have the force
of law. Violations of these customs
are punished by the persons injured,
or in case Of murder by the nearest
relative. Eskimos do little fighting.
The bond of affection between
parents and children is very strong.
Their religion is simple animism,
all animate and inanimate objects
being invoked as deities. They have
a special deity in a supposed old
woman Of the sea, who presides over
storms and sea animals.
Some villages believe in two souls
one which remains near the dead
body until it enters a little child,
and another which goes to the
Eskimos' land of souls, either above
or below the earth.-Detroit Free
Press.

Is applying his training and ability
to the solution of Great Brltaln's big
financial problems. He thus officially
defined his mission here: AT present
a law of congress provides that our
debt tof S4,277 .OOO,OOO must be re.
paid within twenty-five years at Az
per cent Interest. This would mean an
annual payment by Great Britain of
between $3O0,OO0,OO0 and $3.50. 600, 600.
We hope to fund this debt and get
the rate of interest eased, but Of course
the last word Is with America"

shouting of "Hochs," intermingled
with epithets Of reprobation agaInst
