ALCOHOL SUPPLY
FOR FUEL LIMITED
Blended With Gasoline Prod.
uct Is Shown to Be VaIu-
able for Motors.

Alcohol for motor fuel is drasti-
caily curtailed by Industrial needs
"nlch necessarily must be met first
AS evidence of this fact, DIR. Milton G.
whitaker, in a paper prepared for the
american Chemical Society, offers
hgures to show that of the II 900, 900
gallons of alcohol produced last year,
out 900 were available for motor
lists use. DR.. Whitaker, who is presi-
dent OF the United States Industrial
Alcohol Co, continues:
Gasoline produced in the same
period totaled $3.50 600 900 gallons. a
ratio OF 125 to ! against alcohol.
The demand OF the industries and
Tor motor anti-freeze will naturally as
sert itself against any use of alcohol
Tor motor fuels. In any consideration
OF alcohol for motor fuels, the indus
trial needs for alcohol must come first
1t seems clear, therefore. that alcohol
for motor fuel must be limited to the
surplus over and above that required
10 meet the Industrial demands.
Given Intensive Study.
The use of surplus alcohol in motor
fuels was given intensive study espe-
cially when war capacities indicated
a large oVersupply. official commits
SionS, particularly in France and Eng
land, and private investigators I'm the
United States applied themselves to
this problem.
Statistics Of the maximum produc-
tion OF alcohol under present condi-
tions as against the total consumption
of motor fuels in all of these coun-
tries established the uniform conciu-
sion that alcohol could not hope TO
replace gasoline. but at most could
only he uSe5 tn S,IpplaDoapt the saSo-
line supply by being blended there
with, and that the amount OF alcohol
available, or in sight. was Il very small
fraction of the total amount of motor
fuel used.
The investigators in the United
States anticipated the official commits
siens in Europe by two years in reach
ing the conclusion that motor alcohol,
to be feasible at all. must he put out
in some form readily blendable with
gasoline.

With intelligent adjustment Of

by actual experience.
Economic Problem.
THE future OF alcohol motor fuels
is largely an economic problem. It
involves the relations between cost
Of alcohol and the cost of gasoline.

 COMMISSIONER, F0R ]. M 'CARTHY, DEPARTING
LOCAL RESIDENT FOR MANY YEARS LEAVES TO ASSUME
 NEW DUTIES

E.. E. Chamberlain, former mayor of Seward for two terms, who last week received notice of his appoint ment as United States Commissioner at Mccarthy, plans leaving either on the s. s. Northwestern or on the s. s. Admiral Watson, for Cordova en route to Mccarthy where he will i'm mediately assume the duties of his new position. Mr. Chamberlain re- ceived his appointment from Judge E. E. Ritchie during the latter's recent visit here. The Mccarthy office is said to be one of the most important commissioners offices in the Terri tory.
 MT. Chamberlain served one term in the Territorial senate as senator from this, the Third division. He al- so has served on the Seward City Council for several terms. He first took up his residence in the city in 1910 but has resided in Alaska and Dawson since 1897.
 It is with reluctance that he de- parts from Seward to take up his abode in another part of the Terri tory and it is especially hard for him to leave his home and gardens which for several years has been one of the show places of Seward. He announces that MT. and Mrs. Con Jones will move into his residence and expresses much confidence in their ability to maintain the gardens in the same manner he has in the past.

Storms and Frigid Temper
allure, All Part of the
Days Work.

New York.-During a recent cold
spell, when the harbOr was swept by
angry winds and navigation was at a
standstill, little vessel plowed brave
ly through a path of ice foes that
chOked the narrow He'll Gate channel.
The vessel was bound for one of the
city's islands with cargo of supplies
and was not to be delayed by storm
when supplies were needed for sick
folks in hospital.
Life in the harbor is active the year
round, and nothing short of real
gale can stop the daily flow and ebb
of river traffic. Hence throughout the
most severe months of winter when
icy winds that cut like knife cause
real and intense suffering, multitudes
of workers stick manfully to their
tasks in order that the city may lay
in store of fuel, food and other
things so necessary to its existence.
The marine workers to whom the in
habitants look for their subsistence
cheerfully submit to these discomforts
of the weather with frost-bitten hands
and feet, bad colds and rheumatism
and dozens of other ills.
TugbOats, the bulldogs of the har-
Dor, are ever on the alert for a fight
with the elements, and it takes more
than miniature gale or bay full CT
drifting ice to discourage them.
Almost any day when near zero
weather prevails they may be seen re-
turning from some distant mission,
their ice-epcrusted prows cleaning
and scintillating in the sunlight.
A Lot of Work to Be Done.
There is deal of work to be ac-
complished daily in the harbor in win
ter. Big steamers have to be taken
into the harbor and transferred from
their anchorage to docks or repair
shops; barges of ell kinds carrying
grain, sand, coal and other types of
fuel are always being towed in and
out from one freight terminal to an
other. Scows loaded with garbage
flow in endless procession seward.
Opposite the Seamen's church mis-
sion, at % South street, there is a
veritable floating city of canal boats
laid up for the winter; situated at
other points along the waterfront
there are other floating settlements of
barges.
There are various types of marine
workers. The majority of them, ac-

Mr.. Krieger further describes this
paragon Of native races as excellent
sailors. "In Short" he says, "the
tribe constitute a monument to the
virility of aboriginal North American
culture when undisturbed by the in
trusive alien" And the explanation
which he suggests for this superiority
is feminine rule. at is the women
who WELD the real authority. Men
may be elected to office and become
chief musician, doctor, or village chief,
but it is the elder women who tell
the voters whom to elect. A young
married man always goes to live with
his mother-in-law and takes orders
from her."
In contrast with the independence
and virility of the Cuna Indians is
the gregariousness of the Choco In
dams who dwell on the Pacific side
of the isthmus and are divided from
the Cuna by the mountainous interi-
or. They have intermarried so much
with negroes and Asiatics that the
native villages have practically dis
appeared. A much less cultured peo-
pie than the San Bias, the Chocos
yet excel in certain architectural
achievements Their spirit lodges
show an excellent form of mortising
and joinery, practice not known to
other South American tribes.
Peculiar to the culture of the
Choco Indians, says Mr.. Krieger, are
their ceremonial harvest festivals, in
which the chief cOnverses with carved
and painted spirits of animals and
men to discover whether the seasons
crops will succeed or fail.

conditions it developed a cOndemning
unwieldiness. Similarly, the other two
proved failures, but protiting by ex-
perience, the government had the

A lighter mixture was used and i'm
provements were effected in the steel
reinforcing. Triple expansion engines
of 1,500-horse power were installed.
The tanker went to Mexico on its
test and, returning with load of oil,
weathered a tremendous storm in the
Caribbean sea. The commanding Off
Ger declared it as seaworthy as any
ship he had ever handled; but the war
was over.
There was not a plentiful supply
of steel and timber. The boat which
had cost about half million to build
was about to be sold by the shipping
board for $4,000.

the approach of strangers and if nee
essary to drive them away. Racial
pride has kept them free from inter-
marriage with other tribes.
1t is natural to expect that so in
dependent race would have devel-
open high state of culture. "Some
of the remarkable features of their
civilization" Mr.. Krleger writes, "stop
but little short of what we with our
European culture have liked to con-
slider peculiarly our own achievement.
They have Photographic writing
system that ranks but little below our
own alphabet in efficiency. Their sculp-
ture and carving In wood represent
a high standard of taste. Their paint
ing, embroidery ami applied arts.
such as applique sewing, rank with
similar work of European peasants.
But still more phenomenal for a
so-called primitive people is their
knowledge of medicine. They treat
fever, for example, in the most ap-
proved modern American fashion.
The patient is kept cool and absolute
ly quiet. They know the mosquito
to be danger to health. Consequent
ly they build their houses on small
islands off the coast far from the
breeding places of the mosquitoes, or
on piles raised above the water. San
itation is superior to that of most
villages in the United States The
water supply is always brought from
a distant spring or other undefiled
source"

Tribe Knows as Much About
Sanitation as Does
White Man.

i Washington.-A tribe of Indians in
which tow heads, white skins and
hazel eyes predominant, which knows
as much of sanitation as does the
white man, and in which the old wom-
en- WELD supreme authority, furnishes
the material for an interesting publ
cation soon to be released by the
Smithsonian institution. The tribe is
the San Bias Indians of Panama,
branch of the Cunas. Herbert w.
Krieger, curator of ethnology Of the
United States National museum, I'M
der direction of the Smithsonian in
stitution, describes them in Museum
Bulletin 1876, bearing the title, Mate
rial Culture of the People of South
eastern Panama"
Are these white Indians really In
dians? Early Investigators found it
difficult to admit the paradox. Some
suggested that the San Bias group
were the descendants of an isolated
Nordic or Viking strain. Others even
went so far as to see in them the
children of one of the ten 'lost tribes"
of Israel But these romantic hypoth-
eses have had to be discarded. Phys
ical tests and measurements made by
DR.. Ales Hrdlicka, Smithsonian an
thropolOgist, and others, leave no
doubt that the San Bias Indians are
pure bloods, resembling in detail of
physical characteristics the famous
Maya Indians of Yucatan, and form
ing possibly a connecting link with
the equally advanced ancient Peru
VANS.
Origin in Doubt.
While students of anthropology and
genetics have not yet come to de-
cision as to the origin of the blond
ness of these white San Bias Indians,
they are pretty well convinced that
it is form of albinism. Albinos oc-
cur among practically all Indian
races, and while the San Bias whites
have not the characteristic pink eyes,
some of the youths squint in the light.
The determination Of just what part
heredity and environment may have
played in fixing these unusual ten
denotes offers problem of first i'm
portance.
Almost equally astonishing with
their blondness is the fact that the
San Bias Indians have remained pure
bloods and resisted adulteratiOn with
invaders, Indian, negro or European.
They have had to fight for this isola-
ton and they still maintain in every
one. Of their villages special corps

Full Of Thrills

cording to Capt. William A. Maher of
the Associated Marine Workers, have
steady work. The single crew tow
boat man works in the daytime. He
may me ordered to work as early as
a. M. or may not have to report until
a. m. He quits work at p. m.
He does all kinds of towing. A good
many vessels arrive here from Miami
and other Florida points. His job is
to help tow these vessels in and out
of the harbOr. He does not have any
designated time for starting or quit
ting work, but works as the exigency
of the situation requires. Captains
average $3.50 to 5000 a month, wit"
board.
,DoubIe-crew six-Day Boats.
Workers on what are known as dOu-
ble-crew boats are in continuous serv-
ice six days week. They make
trips to Long Island sound and take
garbage to sea, and also do general
towing in the harbor. Captains aver
age from 5000 to $500 month The
men work in shifts and sleep on the
boats.
The passenger-bOat type is employed
on excursion steamers. These work
ers begin their season about May Is
and quit about September 10. They
work on excursion steamers plying be-
tween the city and Rye Beach, the
Highlands, Bear mountain, ROckaway
and Coney island. They average II
hours day and work days a week
Captains are paid from $500 to $3.50 a
month and deckhands from $40 to 500
a month. Captains on this type of
vessel sign contracts to work six
months. They spend about four
months in taking their vessels on ex-
cursions and the rest of the time in
preparing the steamers for the season
and in seeing that the boats are prop
erly laid up for the winter.
These marine workers include mas
tiers, mates, pilots, engineers, oilers,
firemen, deckhands cooks and float
men.
Naturally they know the harbor
like well-thumbed book and pride
themselves in this dearly acquired
knowledge. That all bad storms do
not occur at sea they have ample sto-
ries to prove, and many of them have
had stirring adventures in being adrift
in the waters of the bay when their
vessels were carried out of their
course by terrific gales. In short. they
have experienced shipwreck, fire and
other dangers in the orderly pursuit
of duty.
