Indians of Far North
Take to Latest Dances

Fairbanks, Alaska.-Dancing has be
come the chief method of recreation
among the Indians of interior Alaska,
recently said Miss Katherine G. Kane
teacher in charge of the native school
at kokrines, Alaska, q settlement on
the Yukon river above Ruby.
"A few of the young men," Miss
Kane explained, have acquired the
ability to play the latest foxtrots and
steps on the violin, while others &C
company them with the guitar, mandO
lin or ukulele.
"Next to dancing the men are SLAYER
to pool tables and cards. One redeem
ing fact is that their money remains
In circulation, as one day native will
win and the next day some one else
will hold his stake.
Making snowshoes Is becoming Q
lost art. In our village only two old
men understand the work. MotorbOati
are the hobby of the tribe. Canoes
remain popular, but are not so fas
chatting"
Miss Kane reported that although
the Indians had more extensive trap
lines than usual last winter, the fuI
catch was below normal. Nor did the
pelts measure up to the standard OF
former years in size or quality. Red,
foxes were plentiful, but rubbed
Lynx were numerous. Muskrat pricei
were higher.

GERMAN TITLE FRAUD
DUPED MANY WOMEN
One Man in Plot Made IL
"Princesses" by Marriage.

/ Berlin.-Titles of nobility to order
was the chief stock in trade of Won
HohendOrf, Won Hausler and company,
the principals of which were recently
hailed into Berlin court. Tie COM
pany, in the words Of the judge who
tried the principals, was responsible
for operating the most successful
wholesale factory for turning out arls-
tocratic marriages ever undertaken by
sharpers in Germany"
Alfred Won Hausler was accused of
having married in less than year
eleven ambitious young women. all of
whom, it appeared, were eager for
handle to their names and willing to
pay literally for the privilege Of hav.
ing one. One of the victims was a
moving picture actress who admitted
title would be worth a great deal to
her in business, especially in America.
These women paid from 81 to $4,000
each.
BY ingenious schemes and numerous
forged and faxed papers, giving him
fraudulent titles, Won Hausler salts.
fed their desires to become short
term princesses, but a day of reckon
ing was brought about by suspicious
persons who engaged detectives and
the company quickly went into bank
ruptcy.
The head of the concern was Frau
Anna Won Hohendorf, who it was re-
ported in court, collapsed and died
when it became known that the police
were after her. 1t was Anna, accord
ing to the police, who Matched the
scheme of making princesses to order
and it was she who engineered the
plots to get acquainted with young
women. She paid Won Hausler per.
centage on each marriage.
Won Hausler's trial was postponed
pending further investigation. The
police said he had several confed.
crates who had not been captured.
Furthermore, the police expect to find
a haf dozen more women who have
been victims of the marriage factory.

HUNT AMERICAN LORE
OF 5000 YEARS AGO
Morley Expedition 10 Yucca
tan Has High Hopes.

New Orleans.-Bent upon solving
the mystery which surrounds the his
tory of America during a period dat
ing back 5000 years, the Morley
archaeological expedition, sponsored by
the Carnegie foundation, has plunged
into the primeval country in the vi
cinity of Yucatan, Mexico. Daring
their stay the party will keep in touch
with New Orleans by radio and obtain
their supplies from this port.
The party includes DR.. Sylyanus G.
Morley, one of the leading archeOlo-
gists of the United States; Earl H.
Morris, excavation expert; Mrs. Morris,
Monroe Amsden and Mrs. AlmN Reed.
The latter, who is newspaper woman,
was engaged to marry Felipe GARLIC,
governor of Yucatan, when he was as
sassinated. She is making the trip
largely because she knew Garlic was
interested in the expedition, which was
planned long before his death.
Stay Indefinite.
The Morley party will spend an In
definite period in Mexico and will en-
deayor to probe the secrets of Amer
ica's earliest civilization. More than
100 Maya Indians, descendants Of
tribes which once dominated south
ern Mexico, will remove the soil which
has accumulated over ancient pal
aces and tombs of kings in the last
5000 years
Doctor Morley believes that riches
far more valuable than those found in
the tomb of King Tut, and even more
interesting to Americans, will he re-
vealed before the work Of the expedi-
ton is completed. Although only the
ornaments Of jade have already been
found. The meager records of the
Mayas indicate they were powerful
tribe, with a civilization which, in a
measure, challenges the grandeur that
was Greece and the glory that was
Rome.
To Restore Cities.
"It is of no significance whether we
find gold or silver" said Doctor Nor
ris. "Of course there is a romantic
appeal in buried treasure, but we are
going after something more important
and more valuable, too. Under our
feet lie the buried cities of an almost
vanished race. The Carnegie founda-
ton will uncover and restore at least
one Of these cities, and perhaps two.
"The scientific value of the work
will be equaled only by the wonder
of the American people when they
realize what has happened on this
continent before the white man came
to the shores of America"
The Morley expedition Is one of the
best-equlpped ever organized. While
those who make up the party will be
without some of the comforts of home
they have an outfit which will make
their life luxurious, as compared with
the experiences of psychologists even
in the last decade.

Actor Kills Real Bull
in Course of Drama

Mexico City.-A real bulIfght fea
tured the recent presentation here Of
Manuel Penella's play, "The vile
Cat" In which such a spectacle Is in
cluded, although in the United Statel
the encounter took place behind thu
scenes.
A gala performance Of the show wa,
staged In the bull ring, and Antonio
Segura, the bullfghter-tenor of the
play, acquitted himself creditably
when he faced and killed the bull
against which he was pltted.
During his youthful days in Sevllla
Segura toyed with the cape and ban
derillas before he discovered the stag,
was a safer and more profitable pro
fession than that of the toreador.

Heated Hives Cause
Bees to Work Overtime

Gloucester, Eng. - Electricity
has assisted bees in producing an
increased output of honey, ac-
cording to an announcement of
the Worcestershire Chamber Of
Commerce.
A number of beehives were
erected in an apiary both light
ed and heated by electricity dur
Ing the winter months, with the
result that strong broods Of bees
started to collect honev much
earlier than usual and so OBJ
tanned supplies from the early
blossoms Of fruit tres.
The output Of each hive was
thus greatly increased.

Trivial Things Lead
to Broken Home Life

causes of Observation-Disclosures I'M
faithfulness, cruelty, lack of support
but in my experience have found that
1t is the pin pricks which poison" said
a social worker, according to the Mil
waukee Journal. "These things, of
course, do not appear on the surface
at the moment when the home is
broken, for one of the bigger questions
has cropped out as the predominant
issue, but | try to go back and find
where it all really started Almost in
variably the first rift was about some
small thing that arose from differ
ences in character"
A good deal of sense to that. We
once knew a girl-it was In the days
when marriages were still carefully
considered before they were consum-
mated-who refused her mothers
choice and was deaf to all pleas. Yes,
she liked Jack immensely and on the
main points of life they were agreed.
"But, mother, on many little things we
are at total disagreement. I like neat
ness, and Jack is not neat. / like to
be up and doing with the start of the
day and Jack is lazybones until
after most others are at their work.
You know how strictly l keep account
of all l spend; when we go out to-
gether Jack never knows whether he
has a dollar to pay the bill until 1t Is
presented to him. l fear that those
little disagreements would make our
lives unhappy"
Perhaps one might say that great
love would overcome all this. In some
cases it may, but the experience of the
social worker shows that in many
other cases Il does not Wed have
more happy homes if the young woman
and the young man about to be mar
ried each analysed more closely the
little points in the character OF the

WOODWARD SAYS
JUICE COST HIM
LESS THAN COAL
Hobson Banker Heats, Lights and
Cooks by Electricity for Household
of Eight in Nine-Room House for
$500 a Month.
(From our Regular Correspondent

HOBSON, Mont, Jan. 4, 1924-That electric
current under the new rates of the Montana Power
company is cheaper than coal, was demonstrated
this month in Hobson when the first bill for a full
months home service with complete electrical equip
ment was rendered and came to only $500.
The home is that of H. S. Woodward. cashier
of the First National bank, and the electrical equip
nent consists of a four-hole electric range, a three
quarter horsepower motor operating a pumping
system, an electric n1angle, a washing machine,
electric iron, p electric lights totaling 1,1OO-candle
power, an electric toaster, a vacuum cleaner and an
electric water heater to heat water in the range
boiler.
NJ Woodward formerly used a coal RANGE
which burned a ton of coal a month at a cost of SOS
delivered IN the bin. At that time. under the old
rates tor juice, his monthly bills for electricity ran
from $500 to 5000 per month. Under the new
rates, with a range and water heater added. his entire
bill is less than the cost of coal for his range. Bv
installing an electric range he has saved enough on
MS cooking costs to pay for operating all of his
electrical equipment.
HE new rates of the Montana Power conpanv
provide tor a sliding scale of charges. The first
% kiiowatts cost &c each, or $500; the next Is kiIo-
watts cost &c each, or $100, and the next 100 kilo-
watts cost sc each, or $500. The balance of the
current costs &c per kilowatt.. Thus. after = house-
holder uses $50 kilowatts at a total cost Of S6 or
the balance OF his current costs only &c per kilowatt
In other words, the more current a man Uses the
cheaper it is. If he uses 800 kilowatts the AVERAGE
cost IS only Sc per kilowatt, or if he uses 800. as
Mr.. Woodward did, the average price is only , &c
per kilowatt hour.
The noteworthy thing about the low cost Of
electricity at the Woodward home is that thev have
a nine-room house and a large household, eight per
sons with SIX young children, so that the quantities
of juice required for washing. ironing cooL;nr
lighting and pumping are all much greater than r.
the average home.
