FUND FOR HOME ALASKA CHILDREN
 |S SUGGESTED
GOVERNOR PARKS SUGGESTS PLAN TO LEGION POST FOR
 CARING FOR ORPHANS

The establishment by the Alaska Legislature of a sinking fund for creating a home for dependent children was suggested at JuneaM by Governor George A. Parks, in a talk before the members of Alfred John Bradford Post No. 4, Ameri- can Legion Allotments to such fund, he said. could be made by the Legislature from time to time IS conditions in the Territorial treasury would permit until such a time as the fund is sufficiently large to permit the construction and equipment of proper plant.
 There are at present 129 children being provided for by the Territory under the board of childrens guar dians. Of that number 40 are main tained in institutions outside of the Territory, and 89 in homes and institutions in Alaska.
 Figures on the cost of construc- ting plant for a home for such children vary widely. Institutions ln the states estimate the cost at from $500 to as high as $500 per bed. Operating costs are also es- timated in wide range, but rela- lively high owing to the necessary for having specially trained staff.
 The governor advised again the

TRADE CONDITION
HERE ENCOURAGES
Increase Is Recorded for
April, 1880, With 4-Month
Volume High.

Retail trade in Washington has made
On encouraging record thus far this
year, considering the general depression
following the stock market slump which
was expected to make for hard shedding"
in business here and elsewhere for at
least six months, according, to a survey
Of conditions in local stores made by
The Star.
An increase of 1o.1 per cent in retail
trade in this city was registered last
month over the volume recorded in
April, 1929, 1t was revealed in the state
ment of the Federal Reserve Bank of
Richmond for the fifth reserve district,
Including Washington.
The fact that Easter came in April
this year and in March last year pri-
marily was responsible for this heavy
gain in the retail trade index for last
month. However, local merchants are
greatly encouraged over the April report
because of the fact that much of April
was too cold to stimulate Easter buying.
Had the weather been more favorable
the percentage of gain would have
been much higher, merchants believe,
and thus the record for the first fVe
months Of this year would have been
considerably boosted.
Two Month Volume Is Lower.
A It was, retail trade here for the
two months of March and April, this
year. was 2 per cent below the COM
bined record of March and April of
1929. The Federal Reserve Board
makes this combined comparison to
make allowance for the difference in
the date of the Easter buying In the
two years.
Considerable encouragement is seen,
however, in the fact that despite the
depressing effects Of the stock market
crSsh last Fall, the record Of retail
trade IN Washington for the first four
months of this year was but four
tenths Of / per cent below the record
OF business registered here in the first
four months Of 1929, before the break
IN the stock market. Some business
leaders had anticipated that the ef-
fects of the stock market break would
be even more depressing.
May Trade is Strong.
Encouragement is seen also in reports
from the heads of the majority Of lead
ing washington department stores
allowing that retail trade thus Tar In
May has been strong, showing continue
tion Of buying trends, and while some
leaders do not expect that the record
for the first five months Of this year
viii 20 ahead OF Jne same peTlou OF
1929, the strength of trade now current
is pointed to as a hopeful sign.
For the country as whole retail
trade in April was per cent greater
than in April, 1929. Taking March and
April together, the record this year was
per cent below March and April, 1929
Some local leaders believe new mer-
chandising methods, adopted at the
start Of this year, have been responsible
for the good record in business recorded
THUS far.

|S|TE OF TOCWOGH
TOWN RELOCATED
Smithsonian Institution Dis
covers Village Described
by Capt. John Smith.
BY THOMAS r. HENRY.

The site Of the 'pallizadoed towne"
Of Tocwogh, described by Capt. John
Smith in his account of his exploration
Of upper Chesapeake Bay in 1903 as a
hourishing Indian settlement, has been
relocated by the Smithsonian Institu-
! ton on Kent Island opposite Annapolis,
about seven miles from the mouth of the
Chester River
The town itself, with its houses of
grass woven over wooden frameworkS
was abandoned and disappeared nearly
three centuries ago and only an enor-
nous heap Of oyster shells remained to
mark the spot of community famous
among the aboriginal peoples for its
practitioners of black magic.
Mixed with the oyster shells were
arrowheads, stone axes, hammer stones,
fragments of soapstone pots and bits
of clay pottery. These attracted the
attention of E. G. Tolson, retired farmer
and member of the Maryland Legisla-
ture, who made a collection of them
and offered it to the National Museum.
Neil r. Judd, famous American archie
ologiSt, was sent to investigate the site,
and, checking the location with Smiths
description, found that he had stumbled
upon the remains OF Tocwogh.
Stronghold Of Nanticokes.
This was one or the ch1et StrongholdS
of the Nanticoke Indians, an Algonquin
tribe, which was dreaded by the other
Indians and resisted determinedly the
first white settlers. The Nanticokes
were darker than other Algonquins and
were reputed to possess the secret OF
mysterious poisons. Says an early in
vestigator: "They are said to have been
the inventors of poisonous substance
by which they could destroy q whole
settlement have known Indians who
firmly believed they had persons among
them who could destroy whole army
by merely blowing their breath to-
ward It,"
When the first white settlers came
they found a confederacy of Maryland
Indians with q Nanticoke empress" at
its head. Most of the Maryland aborig-
inals were not unfriendly to the whites,
but the Nanticokes resisted so strenu-
ously that in 1912 they were formally
declared enemies. 1t was not until 1878
that they signed a treaty with the
Maryland proprietorship. In 17o6 they
had seven settlements, each with about
100 inhabitants. Then they began to
move northwestward out of Maryland
and finally arrived in Northwestern New
York, where they mingled with the Iro-
quois and disappeared from history.
Only Relics Of Tribe.
The articles found in the Kent Island
shell heaps now are the only museum
relics Of this mysterious people. The
pottery fragments, DR.. Judd said, are of
especial interest because of their decora-
tons. These were made by patting the
wet clay with cord-wound paddles.
Plaster casts magnified show the texture

Of these cords to have been from the
fibers recovered from the stems of milk
weed, which is believed to have been
used in making fabrics. It Is the silk
grass" described by early explorers
among the Algonquins. 1t yielded a
fiber somewhat like hemp.
Their settlements were described by
Smith as "pallizadoed townes mantelled
with banks of trees and with scaf1olds
like mounts, breasted about with brestS
very formally" The explorer on this
occasion sailed up the Chester River
past several villages. The chief settle
ment of the Nanticokes was further
down the bay and no trace has been
found Of it. Judd found several shell
heaps indicating ancient settlements.
One, several feet high and covering sGs'-
eral acres, fits exactly with Smiths To-
cation of Tocwogh.
Primarily Farmers.
These people, Judd says, were pri-
marily small farmers with maize as
their chief crop. On Kent Island, he
believes, they found an ideal location,
with rich soil, thick woods filled with
game and fruits, and the nearby beach
they were isolated from the main land.
The Algonquins on the Central At
lantic States, with whom the English
settlers first came in contact, Judd says,
undoubtedly represented fairly high
culture about which hardly anything
is known. All traces of 1t were COM
pletely wiped out by the white men,
who murdered the Indians and de-
stroyed their villages, considering them
only nuisanceS rather than human be-
ings and objects of study.

''Clean.Up Week"
Is Opportunity to
Reduce Fire Hazard
BY GEN. HERBERT b. CROSBY,
Commissioner OF the District Of
of Columbia.

Of Columbia.
Cleanup week offers splen-
did opportunity to reduce the
fire hazard in the National Capt.
tai.
It sets a time for every citi-
zen to examine his home and
grounds to discover such flre
hazards and to devise proper
means for their correction.
In many cases he will find
rubbish, old papers and other
discarded material in corners OF
his attic and cellar, in his ga
rage and wedged under porches,
fences and in close proximity to
other wooden structures.
He may find also instances OF
defective insulation on electric
wiring, soot-clogged chtmneys
and improperly safeguarded IN
fiammable substances, such as
kerosene, oils and gasoline.
If every citizen will give
thought to these matters and
make such improvements as are
indicated, the result, without pos
sible doubt, will be marked
reduction in losses due to fires
in the District of Columbia.
Observe Cleanup week, May
1924, 1880.
BY SENATOR ARTHUR CAPPER,
Chairman. Senate. committee on the
District of Columbia.
During the next few years the
beauty of Washington will be still
further increased by the expendi-
ture of millions of dollars on new
Government buildings and new
parks. This program can well be
viewed with pride by present resi-
dents and should serve to attract
many people to make their homes
here.
The money spent on these big
Improvements will, however, fall
short of returning its full value
if the beauty of the city is allowed
to be marred by any minor I'M
tidiness. The high standards
that have always existed in this
city will have to grow with other
improvements. Each individual
Washingtonian can help in this
by seeing that the property which
he owns Is above reproach and
that he does his share to keep
the streets, parks and alleys free
from unnecessary rubbish.
The Commissioners proclama-
ton of a Cleanup week might
well stimulate every one to dedi-
cate himself individually for the
entire year to this task of civic
cleanliness.

AMUSEMENT AND POLITICS.

The whirligig of politics provides meat and bread for sense of humor. For example Democrats are working night and day to hang responsibility for the late New York Stock Market collapse and the resulting complications President Hoover and the Republicans Republicans are working night and day to escape the odium.
 The situation tickles the sense of humor because it is a complete reversal of former positions Re- publicans hung responsibility for the panic of 1893 on President Cleveland and the Democrats and made it stick long enough to win several elections. In fact they still rehashng and dishing up the a panic of their own-one that would have been terrifcaly disastrous to the country if it had not been for the Federal Reserve Act that President Wilson had induced Congress to accept Democrats struggled with might and main to escape the odium of the panic of the nineties and failed Then, like ostrichs that bury their heads in the sand to es- cape detection, they out to Chicago and sur rendered boots, bitt and saddle to Bryan who came riding them to death.
 Of course President Hoover is not responsible for the 1929 collapse President Cleveland responsible for that of 1893 Republicans con tend firmly for the first assertion and frankly admit the second. Whatever may be said for its contentious in the past, the position of the Re- publican Party is absolutely sound today
 However, there is nothing do about it, So we had as well get such amusement out of it possible,

 During of the meetings when the virtues of the cause for which the week" stands are being extolled some four-minute speakers might expound to be neither lenders or borrowers of books That influential magazine contends that lending and bor- rowing books not only creates enmities but it cheats authors publishers bookstores and the gen. eral public. Authors usually are compensated for their services with royalties based on booksales Lending and borrowing books reduce sales The publishers who make the authors manuscripts into books and the bookstores which bring the books to the public depend upon sales for their profits Lending and borrowing books curtail these profits The public is injured because if everyone would purchase the books he desires to read the overhead would have wider distribution, the cost of produc- ing books would be less and we would be able to get them at smaller cost Plain Talk believe. that if there no book lending and borrowing books would be sold at the stores for half or les than the present cost
