So it was with the recorded voice
upon the photograph. At the first
sound of CALI Curci, they stood up in
alarm, and would have dived over

They were plainly under the M
preston that a woman was secreted
in the little box, and looked every
where for the owner of the vocal eff
feet
They could not understand that it
was the record and sound box that
produced the sound.
Other artists met with similar fates,
and even the high register of Caruso
tailed to please them. But Their fears
were dispelled when the Broadway

Their own vocal efforts would do
injustice to a bowling dog, for they
start at high pitch, and end only
when the vocalist" has run out OF

two boomerangs together, while the
men occasionally burst in and give
the soloist little support, by chant

Despite his scanty wardrobe, the
Australian native and his lubra (wife)
have adopted many modern fashions
and whims while on the other hand
many OF our present styles were uses
by them centuries past.
Shingling, and the buster cut have
been in vogue among the Australian
natives for ages, for, to them, hair
as an adornment has no charm. 1t
has purposes of utility.
The belt which the women OF the
northwest wear, is made entirely from
human nair, while string, used for
carrying articles, is also made from
hair.
Jazz, a product of modern civiliza-
ton, is akin to the music produced by
natives, for rhythm is the main essen
tial. A native would be little disturb
ed by hearing the effect produced
from saxophone, for It is allied with
their own harmonious" ienderings
The dark skinned native wriggles
his feet in time to music, just as his
western brother does to jazz band,
while the native who beats hollow
log derives as much pleasure as the
modern trap drummer.
1t is novel to see natives who have
had practically no contact with civ
ilization, beating to the latest New
York hit on the monograph, and
when their first fears have been al

HOW THE AUSTRALIAN NATIVE
is BECOMING MODERNIZED


Iof chromatics, and the verses are but
repetition.
Wild natives who have had no pre-
vious association with civilized men
will often mimic their actions. The
lingering of moustache will be
copied by the aboriginal, while even
cough will be initiated. He smiles
when you smile. and frowns when
you frown.
When given large piece Of bright
ly-colored cloth, the women will i'm
mediately tear it into dozens of small
pieces, ard reappear with their hair
adorned with it, just as a western
woman will bargain for a new nat.
They are very susceptible to color,
and invariably quarrel over trif1es-
such as stray pieces of cloth.
If one woman is given comb, and
told how to use it, some weeks later
her hair, although short, would put
a beauty specialist to shame because
of it's improved appearance. She had
undoubtedly combed her hair every
available minute since receiving the
comb.
The quarrels among the men and
women over the distribution of pres
ents often ends disastrously, for one
man along the northwest coast had
both arms fractured, the result OF
combat over the distribution OF to-
bacco. One man had frightful frac--
ture of the right arm, which mad
unitedbadly, the arm being grotesque-.
ly twisted 1t was another case OF
"cherchez la femme" and was caused
by the attack of an irate husband.
It would take great pluck on the
part of our womenfolk to adorn their
bodies with the great cicatrices, or
raised Weals, which cover their brown
skinned sisters bodies, in Australia.
Despite the fact that they live a life
where club rule is the dominant fac
tor, the natives seem to derive more
pleasure FROM their type of existence
than the 1929 sophisticate derives
from the ultra--nodern age.

They report light fur catch which they attribute to the cold weather. The greater part of the time the temperature has been around 20 degrees below zero.
 On their way out the two men were marooned at the mouth of the river for three days. They built fires in an effort to signal the town so that boat would be sent out for them, but owing to the fact that fires were burning on nearby islands, their signals went unob- served. Their trying experience em- phasized the need of telephone con- nection between Wrangell and the mouth of the river.

MISSING SHIPS AND MEN

Loss of lite by accident or through general disaster is some how more shocking to relatives and friends of the victims than death from disease. This is due perhaps to the suddenness of the bereavement, for which those left behind are unprepared.
 Most terrible of all is the men tai agony of those whose loved be- hind anything to indicate their ex- act fate. The history Of the sea is filled with such occurrences, in many of which hundreds Of lives were lost in a single disaster.
 One of the earliest cases after the development of large vessels, was that of the City of Glasgow, bound from Liverpool to Philadel- phia in March, 1854, and was never heard of after sailing. She carried 450 passengers.
 Other vessels carrying 15O or more persons which likewise dis appeared without leaving a trace behind include the Tempest in 1857, the City of Boston in 1870, the British training ship Atlanta in 1880, the liner Naronic Qost on her maiden voyage) in 1893, the Waratah in 1909.
 Perhaps the most mysterious dis appearance at sea was that of the United States Navy collier Cyclops, of 19,360 tons displacement and carrying 293 men, which left Bar babes, West Indies, on March 4, 1918, never to be seen again. Dur ing the remainder of the war it was thought that her crew might have been captured and imprisoned by the Germans, but at it's close they declared that their war ships had never seen the Cyclops.
 The anxiety, the hopes and fears of relatives of these 293 men can be better imagined than described. The sea still keeps its secret.

In detailing historic events of 20 years ago a recent issue of the Daw- son News says: Robert w. Service, famous as the author of the Songs of a Sourdough,' and the Ballads of a Cheechako,' has severed his con- nection with the Canadian Bank of Commerce. He will devote his time exclusively to writing. MT. Service has taken a cabin which he is fit ting up for his home and den, and there will spend most of his time while in Dawson. Had Mir. Service chosen to remain with the bank, a promotion awaited him. In fact, his resignation scarcely had been sent to the home office when he re- ceiyed notice that he was to be giv- en charge of a branch of the big financial institution. This shows how well he succeeded in his work aside from his writings. In quitting the service of the Bank of Com merce Mir. Service is remaining with the 'Gold-born' city of Daw- son largely for the reason told in his excellent verse which occupied the front piece of the large special pictorial edition of the Dawson News, issued this year.
