We believe Vashon island hold,
a rather unique position in her re-
Iigious affairs, which should not
be overlooked. The Coye-Colyas
community is dotted with meeting
houses, and the big Beulah Park
series of meetings drew people
from all over the island, and from
many points of the mainland. We
have heard many kind words con
corning these special meetings,
and believe the religious life of
that particular community has
been advanced as result of the
same. Right now, at Burton
there are representative people
holding up to hundreds Of Wash
ington young people, daily and

has been announced in the religi-
Gus development of the Baptist

One soprano had the dignity and

 "The guests were: Mrs T. J. Gam bill of Wilkeson, Washington, trustee of the Woman's Home Missionary so- ciety and member of the Alaska com mittee, Mrs. w. H. c.

Mrs Fife Wend, couin of Mrs. GambiHs; Dr. and Mrs. Rosingrant, Mr. and Mrs. Manley, MT. and Mrs. Roetjen; these last three couples are friends of Dr. Baldwin, who has had charge of our mission at Nome for number of years.
 T am sure fifty people later told me they had heard how wonderful "The Alaska Banquet" was and wish ed they could have been present. It was a delight to all of Us who were especially interested in Alaska when such people as our Young Peoples secretary, Miss Muriel Day of Cincin- natti, came in and served the table just for the privilege Of being in on an Alaskan banquet.
 Many said the Alaska banquet was the incest small affair of the whole convention. It was in all the Roches- ter papers naming the guests, show ing Mrs. McQueen's picture and fea- turing her long interest in Alaska and her former residence at Juneau. ] It was no small task to assemble such a meal. However Mrs. Mcqueen
 says: 'Tm glad I did it for it was really a fine advertisement for Alas ka."
 Mrs. Mcqueen also arranged at the convention a fine exhibit of other ar ticles from Alaska, carved ivory, pie lures and other things from the mis- ]
 sion at Nome and great quantities ot handiwork from the children at Jesse Lee. These things helped make Al aska more popular than ever with those in the States who have in the
 past been most generous in support
 ing missions here.
 Mrs. Mcqueen sends the encourag- ing word that the local Home is soon
 to have a tractor to assist with the
 clearing and farming. It is hoped to l soon have a real Industrial Home
 that all Seward will be proud of.

Owing to its, distance from a fire

however. The bungalow was insured

Senator o. E. Weller, republican

the five years of Senator Weller's

tax on thousands of articles bought
daily by the American people. Sen
ator Weller was absent and not Wit

per cent of the time. The tariff fixed
the tax on wool fabrics, cotton yarns,

to be present and to vote on nine OF

HEART DISEASE
LEADS in DEATHS
Cancer, tuberculosis, Brights' The
Cause Of Many Deaths -Tuber-
culosis Among Colored Race

Organic heart disease in the white
population and tuberculosis in the
colored, outranked all other causes of
death in the counties of Maryland
during the last three years, according
to recent reports from the State De-
partment of Health.
Lists prepared by F. v. Better,
Chief of the State Bureau of Vital
Statistics, showing the twenty princi-
pal causes of death, each year, for
the last three years, indicate interest
ing differences in the susceptibility Of
white and colored, to various diseases.
In the white population, heart dis
ease led the list all three years, with
over thousand deaths each year, and
was the cause of one death out of
every seven. Bright's disease which
came second, was responsible for one
death out of every ten, with total
of over 725 deaths each year. Cere-
bral hemorrhage,. with 675 deaths in
1928 ,683 in 1924, and727 in 1925, had
the third place. Cancer, with 562
deaths in 1923, 495 in 1924, and COG
in-1925 and tuberculosis with 523
deaths in 1928, 500 in 1924 and BIT
in 1925, held fourth and fifth places.
In the colored population, tubercu-
losis, with. 2S5 deaths in 1923, 319
in 1924 and 312 in 1925, caused one
out of every nine deaths in 1928 and
one out of every eight in 1925, and
had the first place on the list.
Organic heart disease came second,
with over $50 deaths each year, and
was responsible for one death out of
every ten. Cerebral hemorrhage had
the fifth place in 1923, the fourth in
1924 and the third in 1925. Chronic
Bright's disease was the third in the
list in 1923 and 1924 and fourth in
1925. Diarrhoea and enteritis among
children under two years old had the
fourth place in 1923 and the fifth in
1924 and 1925.
Cancer, the fourth in the list of
white deaths was tenth in the causes
of colored deaths. Diabetes wos four
tenth in the white population, but was
not listed as a principal cause of
death among the colored. Whooping
cough was ninth on the colored list
in 1923 and fourteenth in 1924 and
1925, but did not appear as one of the
20 principal causes of death in the
white population. The pneumonias,
broncho and lobar, were more fatal a
: mong the colored than the white pop
ulation, but they figured as import
ant factors in the total deaths in both
races. On the other hand, there was
a larger percentage of deaths from
accidents in the total white deaths
than in the colored. Deaths from ac-
cidents occupied the sixth place in the
total white deaths, causing one out OF
every, nineteen in 1925. In the list of
colored deaths they occupied tenth
place in 1923, the seventh in 1924 and
the ninth in 1925, when they caused
one out of every twenty-six deaths.
