ALASKA INTERESTS AT THE NATIONAL CAPITAL

An opportunity to impart a little information on Alaska Was afforded Mrs. Wickersham recently. While attending a bridge party at the Arlington Hotel given to aid the enlarge ,nent of the hospital at Ketchi- kan, Alaska one of the players inquired whether the Congress man from Alaska was an ESki- mo. This resulted in consider able controversy and when it was learned that Mrs. Wicker sham was a resident of the north the question was referred to her. She admitted that the Delegate was her husband, and not an Eskimo, and then gave quite an interesting talk about the native people of the north
 
 and of their habits and profeS- Sions.
 Where Is Tom Marquam
 During the past month the manager of the Harrington Ho- tel has been making inquiries as 3o the whereabouts of Thomas Marquam, Of Fairbanks, who has been in Washington most of the time during the past two or three years. He has been a guest at this hotel on and off, and duling the winter had $ room elsewhere. He was pa tient at a hospital in January and then went to the Earring ton. After a couple of weeks he checked out, saying that he was going to New York and asking that his mail be held. The ho- tel has heard nothing from him since and much mail and tele- grams accumulated, so the man. agement has been making anx- ious inquiries about him, fear ing that he has met with some misfortune.

CATALONIA VOTES
FOR FREE STATUS.
Overwhelming Majority Seen
for Autonomy in
PIebiscite.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BARCELONA, Spain, August s.
The Province Of Catalonia was believed
to have cast an overwhelming ballot for
autonomous statehood within the re-
public of Spain. +.
Unofficial estimates of the results of
yesterdays plebiscite in the province
showed that about 100000 OF the $780,
900 voters had declared in favor Of Q
political statute sponsored by the party
Of Provisional President Francisco Ma
cha. Ninety per cent Of the voters were
estimated to have gone to the polls.
Col. Macia addressed thousands Of
merrymakers, waving banners and sing
ing songs to Catalonia, after unofficial
results Of the plebiscite became known.
Nov Catalonia is free, without any
doubts" he said. 1.-THE other regions
will see that Catalonia Is on their side
In the battle for liberty. will aid them
If they wish" The Basque and Galician
Provinces also desire autonomy.
The statute will be submitted to the
National Assembly at Madrid for rati-
fication before becoming law. It is be-
lieved it may encounter strong opposi-
ton there because of hostility toward
Catalonian Deputies, In view OF their
opposition to President Alcala Zamora.
Catalonia's status has been in doubt
ever since the monarchy was over
thrown, the issue resting between those
who sought absolute independence and
those who wished to remain within the
republic as q sovereign state.

should be SO many more dental ms
than in India, regarded generally as
uncivilized. Without attempting a
scientific explanation, he called at
tention to certain conditions in India
which may account for the lack Of
carries there. ~
Breast feeding is almost the uni
versal practice in India. Where II is
not the case. 1t Is always family
which Is highly civilized according to
Western standards" his report stated.
Breast feeding is not stopped when
the child Is 8 months old. IT Is con-
tinued usually about 10 months on an
average. II lack of vitamins are the
cause Of dental carries, and If these Vita
minis are to be found in the mothers
milk. prolonged breast feeding is a
factor to consider. The child gets
natures diet and as much Of 1t as
possible.
Land Of Sunshine.
india Is a land Of sunshine. There
Is no lack of vitamin d. Calcium me-
tabolism is normal Consequently rick
cts are also absent in India. If sun
shine is a prime factor, it would be
interesting to determine If carries is
universally present in all temperate
countries-if it is common among Chi
nese, japanese and South Americans.
Cleaning the teeth daily is a uni
versal habit in India. Every child from
the time 1t is able 10 SIT up and bite its

its teeth cleaned. In fact, teeth clean
ing is an important religious ceremonial

No one who has not cleaned his teeth

SAN FRANCISCO, August s.-The

wood movies, at least the kind they send
down to Argentina, and consequently
Argentina is trying to do something

they can't get better pictures for their
movies. =.
Gurruchaga said yesterday his gov
eminent indicated the Hollywood movie
plots were low in mental capacity, de-
signed for infantile intellects and were
poorly directed"
Spanish films, under iron guidance Of
Madrid, with Castillian Spanish spoken
in the picture, have raised the ire of the
entire South American market, Cur
ruchaga said, pointing out that South
American Spanish is different from that
spoken in Spain.

Partnerships.

calling attention to the opening of the
annual tuberculosis Seal Sale. and urging
every man, woman and child in the State
to buy generously Of them. DR.. r. H. Riley,
Director of the State Department of Health,
said: when the sale of the tuberculosis
seals was begun In this country. twenty
hve years ago. tuberculosis was responsible
Tor more deaths and sickness than were
attributed to any other single cause. Our
records. which correspond closely TO those
for the rest of the country, show that one
death out Of about every eight from all
causes. was due to what was then called
consumption. In 1905 there we're 2,6lO
deaths from tuberculosis in Maryland, out
Of total of 20.203 dehths from all causes.
10 1880. when the population was much
greater than it was in 1905, there were
1873 deaths from tuberculosis, out of
total of 2l,562 from all causes, That means
that the deaths from tuberculosis had been
cut down to about one in every thirteen
from all causes.
III Is probable that no partnerships that
have ever been entered into. have yielded
better returns than those formed between
the purchasers of the Christmas Seals and
the workers in the fight against tuberculosis,
when the annual sale Of the tuberculosis
Seals for the support Of the warfare against
the disease was decided upon.
Great things have happened since this
partnership went into effect The general
death rate from tuberculosis has been cut
down more than half; and clinics, dispen-
saries and sanatoria for the care of those
suffering from the disease have been
established In every part OF the country.
But best Of all-and these things have
come about largely through the work made
possible by the sale Of the tuberculosis
Seals-people have learned two lessons.
First that tuberculosis can be prevented
by rational living. the use Of nourishine
food. having plenty Of fresh air and sun
light. plenty Of rest. and the right sort OF
recreation. Second. that those who have
contracted the disease have a good chance
to have it brought under control and to Get
back to health, II they 60 to their doctor
or to clinic while the disease is in its
early STAGES and follow the advice that Is
Given them.
THE Maryland tuberculosis Association
contributes part Of the money derived from
the sale of the seals toward the support Of
the clinics held every month throuehou,
the counties, for the examination OF per-
sons who show symptoms Of the disease
or have been in contact with Il. The clinics
are held under joint auspices Of the State
Department Of Health and the Tuberculosis
Association. Thousands Of people have
been benefited from this service and many
Of them have been started on the read e
health.
This Is only one Of the ways In which
the money you put into the Christmas Seals
helps others. You don't have to have a
lot Of money to enter into this partnership
The shares-the Christmas Seals-are only
penny apiece. Be sure that you buy
your supply Of them"
