MRS. WESTFALL ON WAY BACK
 TO THE STATES
PROMINENT CHURCHWOMAN IS PLEASED WITH WORK DONE
 BY BAPTIST MISSION

Mrs. Kathryn s. Westfall executive secrican of the Womans American Baptist Home Missions returned on the Admiral Evans from a visit to the Baptist orphanage at Wood Isl and, near Kodiak, greatly pleased at the results of her trip. Mrs. Westfall made the trip for the purpose of in vestigating the orphanage and for the purpose of authorizing construction of new buildings to take the place of those destroyed by fire last year.
 T am returning greatly pleased with my trip" said Mrs. Westfall. We have often asked ourselves if the work in Alaska was worth while, and since my visit to the orphanage I am most firmly convinced that it is doing great work at Kodiak. We realize that we cannot change the habits of the natives in generation, but we can improve their condition until in time they will have the advantages ne- cessary to fit them to compete with modern civilization.
 'The boys are learning the fishing business rapidly" added Mrs. West fall, "and the native families now can their fish for winter use, the same as the whites. I do not believe in re- moving these children to the states, but rather believe they should remain in the environment to which they are accustomed"
 Mrs. Westfall stated that the new superintendent at the home was mak- ing good progress with the children.

to the owner.
w. P. Roche, who has been in

discovered the machine by acct
dent and persuaded Mrs. Rutland
to allow him to exhibit it on Sat
urday afternoon and night in con-
nection with a Thor demonstration
which he is putting on at that

this with the understanding that
the machine is to be returned to
her in time for Monday washing.
The old washer makes an inter-
esting comparison with the later
models. The observer will note
that in the development of the Thor
the principle of washing has been
retained but very much improved.
Where the first electric washer
had series of belts and chains
