SEATTLE, April 15-A beauty ex- pert visiting Alaska would find 1t hard to distinguish between the Eskimo flapper and her sister in the states today.
 Those who visualize the Eskimo maiden as flat-nosed, swarthy. high-cheeked miss who chews blub- Der would be surprised should they go to Alaska, says Jonathan H. Wagner. chief of the Alaska diyis- ion of the United States education office.
 The, pure blood Eskimo will be extinct in another 30 years. predict scientists who recently visited the far north. but that is nothing to worry about, says Wagner, whose headquarters are here.
 The beauty that prevails among Eskimo girls is in no danger of vanishing, for the native popula- tion is increasing rather than dying out. he declares.
 Accurate figures on the Eskimo population are difficult to obtain because of the assimilating process that is underway, but without re- gard to racial stock the number $

NEW YORK, April 9.-Mr. Pri- vate Investor is relatively unim- portant figure in the bond market, but his orders may be taken as a barometer of investment tastes. To- day he wants only the best bonds.
 A year ago it was hard to sell him bond unless it carried a con- version privilege. He is still in- terested in that type of security, but a plain, old-fashioned first mortgage attracts him even more.

Jobs for Old People
Fall as Number Gains

Declining birth rates and death rates
are steadily increasing the proportion of
the aged in the population while the
mechanization of industry Is gradually
reducing the number Of jobs open to old
people. These two tendencies, 1t was
recognized at the conference on the
care of the aged held recently at the
University of Chicago, are creating a
problem which the United States must
solve by some large scale and system
attic program.
"Old people are becoming more i'm
portant element Of the population
numerically" Prof. Paul Douglas.
University Of Chicago economist, told
20 experts who gathered under the
auspices of the School of Social Service
Administration and the Samuel Deutsch
Foundation. Present industrial tend
encieS are at the same time increasing
the number of those who are super
animated. We cannot neglect the
implications of this situation which has
been created by scientific medicine and
scientific industry"
Figures were given showing that while
the proportion of people more than IS
years of age has increased more than
l per cent in 80 years, the proportion
of men more than IS who are en-
ployed dropped from IA per cent to go
per cent. The conference, the first of
its kind held in the Middle West, did
not agree on the question of public or
private subsidies for destitute aged, but
there was a consensus that the best
provision for those who were unable
to help themselves would not be through
almshouses but through grants which
would enable the aged to live in their
own homes. In the opinion of the
experts, the almshouse should be aban-
doned, and institutional care conferred
on disqualification of the sick.

Finds Atoms Vibrate
AT Tremendous Speed

Extending researches which won for
him in January the 1000 prize Of the
American Association for the Advance
ment of Science, Prof. Arthur j. Demp-
ster, University Of Chicago physicist,
has now proved that not only hydrogen
atoms but also the atoms and MOLE
cules of heavier substances are vibrating
at tremendous speed.
Since only those particles which carry
an electrical charge are observed In
association with this peculiar wave-
form, the experiments suggest that the
wave phenomenon may be a function
Of the electric charge and not a prop
erty of the particle itself. BY propelling
streams of positively charged particles
against a diamond crystal and then
dividing the reflected ray in a strong
magnetic field DR.. Dempster was able to
photograph their "diffraction patterns"
patterns peculiar to things having the
wave form, proving that the particles
were vibrating like light rays as well
as shooting forward like projectiles.
In his previous observations Dr.
Dempster had recorded this effect only
for the nuclei of hydrogen atoms When
the reflected ray was divided, in the
latest experiments, the patterns indi-
cate the presence of combinations of
atoms, or molecules, Of hydrogen,
oxygen and water vapor.

as from the tomb. The printed words

Foch. The marshal, none doubted, had
