IVORY Being MINED
Eskimos Dig Up Buried
Treasure for Traders.

BU NEA NSerDicf
TACOMA, Wash, Aug. 24.-Trad-
ing ships from the Boring Sea are
returning from summer trips with
fortunes in ivory tusks which have
been bought from the Eskimos of
the northern islands.
For centuries before the coming
of the white men, Eskimos used only
the blubber of the walruses they
killed, and threw away the tusks
These accumulated into vast dump
grounds of ivory until trading
schooners brought men who bought
the tusks of freshly killed animals
Then the natives remembered the
stores of ivory left by their ances-
tors and began to sink mines on
the sites of ancient camps and will
ages. Each tribe so far has salvaged
thousands of dollars worth OF the
precious material, which still is in
perfect condition and shows no signs
of becoming exhausted.

CHICAGO PAYS
FOR ITS ROAR
Noise of Loop Costs City
$1,6OO,0OO a Week.

BIZ United Press
CHICAGO, Aug. 24.-The myriad
noises and din of metropolitan ac-
tivity cost Chicago at the very least
$1,600000 week through loss in
efficiency of workers.
That is the computation OF DR..
Donald A. Laird, director of the psy-
Geological laboratory of Colgate
University, and at present on the
summer faculty of Northwestern
University. And this is a conserva-
tive estimate, he points out. It is
probable the maximum cost is a
dozen times greater.
With an audimeter, DR.. Laird and
an acoustic engineer tested the
noises in various spots in the "loop."
For two months they studied the
suueaks, honks, shrieks, clanks,
bangs and swishes of the heart OF
the city.
One of the recommendations for
abolishing the noise is to abolish
taffeta and silk dresses. If every
girl downtown Chicago wore these
materials tho combined swish would
make cyclone sound like a maid
ems sigh, is was said.

they hung, balanced, or chung,

figures that would tell them pre-

were doing out at Forbes Field.
Among the spectatOriaI

Additional scoreboards were put
up all over the city today. One

had certain good innings, but ID
others the Pirates fell upon his de-
livery with great weight and vi
ciousness. However, he should come
back to pitch much better bali be-
fore this series ends.
The Yanks have won the first
i game though outhit and outpitched.
They have looked much better in
the field and on the bases than have
the Pirates. though before the series
started the National Leaguers were
expected to have an edge ID these de-
partments.
As q matter Of fact, these teams
are well matched and one is led to
believe that the National League. as
an organization, is faster than the
American. The Yankees flattened
all opposition during the campaign
as though with q blanket. On The
other hand, not till last Saturday
We're the Pirates able to cinch their
victory. They had stiff fight all
the way down the line through the
last six weeks.

while Ruth and Gehrig were pre-
vented from getting any long dis.

doubted il this could continue long.

Vic Aldridge Is expected to oppose

may not be determined till the very
last moment. George Pipgras Is
thought to be Higgins choice before
Urban ShOcker. Moore's appearance
as a relief man for Hoyt Ia the first
game would seem to shove him back
day before starting, and. unless

Herb Pennock is recovering ran

but the relief pitcher is horse FOR
work and was ready today If the
need arose.
Much talk is being wasted to the
effect that this series win be over
quickly, ending in New York with
Sundays game. However, though
beaten in their first game, the
, Pirates are far from being beaten
in the series.
