SURGICAL STATION BE:
 ESTABLISHED sELDOV!A

Residents of Seldovia brought to a re, lization of their isolated condition for hospital facilities which the west ward affords, and through the recent operation on Jane Harrington, have inaugurated a movement to install a surgical emergency hospital in their town. The proposed building is of cottage type and has three rooms fo: patients.
 The cost of the hospital was slight ly under thousand dollars, which was raised by Seldovians by enter tainments and membership subscrip- tions. In addition to purchasing th" buildings and ground there is at the present time about one hundred dol lars in the treasury of the hospital organization which will be devoted, as far as possible, to the purchase of the latest appliances for surgical and medical work.

ALCOHOL CHEAPER THAN GAS
 IN TIGHT LITTLE ISLE CUBA

Alcohol is so plentiful in the island of Cuba that it retails for g cents a gallon while gasoline sells at A cents. Consequently it has been found much cheaper to fill ones auto tank with alcohol than with gasoline Freight transportation is done with alcohol for motive power and 80 per cent of the passenger cars use it. It is said a lizzie with a tank full of alcohol and a drunken driver can cut some queer capers in Havana's narrow and poorly kept side streets.

SEWARD DEATH RATE
 IS EXTREMELY LOW

Seward may well be called the most healthful city in Alaska, if not in the United States, if vital statis- tics compiled by U. s. Commissioner Curtis Morford can be relied upon, and they are correct to degree.
 The year 1922 showed a very small number of deaths. the total for this precinct being only three, two males and one female In the matter of births recorded, fourteen were re- ported to the office, eight males and six females Dan Cupid outstripped both of life's factors with an even score of marriages recorded.

VERY BUSY AUXILIARY UNIT
Itself in Activity in Behalf of the
Wounded and Others.

Minnesota department of the Ameri-
can Legion auxiliary is again at the
front with its distinctiveness. One lit
tie unit, auxiliary to Hutchinson post,
No. 96, has particularly distinguished
itself in activity recently.
A short chronicle Of the activities Of
the unit follows:
Twenty-four pairs of pajamas were
recently contributed to one of the hos
pitfalls, the work OF the members. All
sick soldiers were kept supplied with
flowers; $3.50 was cleared at circus
given under the auspices Of the aux
Hilary; poppy sale netted the unit
S237.5O; two flags were purchased for
the Legion post and one for the unit !;
when the forty and eight conducted
their initiation, the auxiliary gave a
banquet, with SIS profit. This was
sent as contribution to Doctor Helen
Heilscher's welfare fund.
The unit has been very active In
charity work two needy families have
been taken care of financially and so
cially; a cedar slope chest" was dis
posed of at a profit of $187.50. This
money was used in furnishing a room
in the new community hospital at
Hutchinson. On Christmas, 4S boxes
filled with personal gifts were sent
to the disabled soldiers Of Minnesota
by the unit, also II pairs of pajamas.
Three families were made comfort

RANKS AS ONE OF EARLIEST ARTS
Embroidery With the Needle Has
Been Practiced as Far Back as
History Records.

Embroidery is che art of ornament
ing cloth and other materials with the
needle. Most of the embroideries made
today are usually copies of the an
cient ones.
Embroidery is believed to have been
applied TO skins almost as soon as
needle and thong were first employed
to join pieces Of skins together into
garments. In Lapland the natives en-
broider their reindeer-skin clothing
with needle of reindeer bone, using
reindeer sinew and applique of strips
of hide.
Travellers say that in Central Africa,
among the primitive tribes there, the
girls embroider skins, with figures of
flowers and animals. supplementing
the effect with shells and feathers.
Among the ancient Greek textiles
exhumed from Crimean gr.ves are
both tapestries and embroideries now
