Prinitiue Eskimo Tribe Is Described by First White
 Woman Who Visited 1t

An Eskimo tribe that still lives in the stone age, that has culture more primitive than even the Es- kimos of St. Lawrence Island, that prefers sound bodies to schools and deliberately lives in mountain wild erness, is the discovery of Miss Marjory B. Major, nurse and spec ialist in child health and welfare of Medical Service of the Office of Indian Affairs
 Mis Major is visiting here for a few days from her headquarters at Eklutna where she gives daily instructions in health and hygiene to the pupils in the Government Industrial schol
 FIRST WHITE WOMAN
 The primitive people reported by her, have their regular habi- tation in the mountains back of the Tikchik River region in south 1sstern Alaska. She encountered them last summer when, w4sa DI. w. A. Borland and guided by Bert Smith, veteran trapper and trader of the Nushagak River dis trict, she went on a mission of mercy to relieve the flu-stricken population of five villages on the Nushagak and the Tikchik tribe which had felt it's customary haunts in the mountains and was shen in a temporary village on Tikchik River.
 She was the first white woman the people of this tribe had ever seen, and only after she had con- vinced them, through a 12-year old interpreter that accompanied the party, that she was a human being differing mainly but in pig mentation from the women of the tribe, was she able to approach them.
 USE WOOD AND STONE
 Garments of skins, sewed with fiber, commonly clothe these Es- kimos. Knives are made from bone, for the handles, and blades of flint, bound together with tough sinew. Dishes used in eating are of wood.
 Meals are served in a community house with a low opening for an entrance, without windows, and with hole in the curved roof for light and air circulation Miss Major was invited to partake of meal with the tribe, but declined in favor of the table on the re- lief boat.
 Later she visited the community house. as a meal was being served and found it an interesting cere- mony. Dishes were placed on the ground. At the head of the earthen table, sat the old chief, or tyon. Around the sides were seated the other men, the young tyon next to the chief, and behind each stood his wife.
 CHIEF STARTS EATING
 When all were in their places, the wife of the old tyon reached forward, grasped a big wooden platter containing a big joint of moose meat and rice, and placed it before her husband The chief took firm hold on the meat rais- ed it to his mouth and bit off the portion he desired, returning the meat to the dish. He then took his hands and scooped out rice into

BERLIN, Dec. 31.-The effects of Adolf Hitler's "baby-food" are be- ing observed with much headshak- ing among the leaders of German youth
 Too much attention, too mucl' military Grill and jingoism sv making Hans a vicious boy, he, feel. They do not deny they are producing lusty youngster, but they liken the diet to alcohol stimulating but unwholesome in excess.
 Hitler breaches body first" and rates mentality last as require ments for Fascist citizens of his new Germany, the third reich"
 Observers dismally predict for the future a race of physically magnificent "dumbbells" under the "heel" of military olgarchy and utterly incapable of self-leader- ship.
 Criticism of this kind usually ends with, If only German youth were fired to the same enthusiasm for a really worthy cause!" No one, however, seems capable of suggesting an equally potent sub- stitute.
 Germany Hemmed In
 The fact is that Germany is in blind alley with restricting walls on every side raised to mammoth heights by political and economic forces. So far this Jericho hasn't toppled though Germany has marched round and round for more than seven days bowling the trum- pets of Pacifism and reconcilia- tion. Hitler youth is passionate in advocating a change of tune. Youth sees itself justified ar,. sensible in Hooking to the swastika banner of those who demand dras- tic action to save the nation from what they term the blight of Yer sailles." Say these Fascists:
 If German territory is not suf- ficient to assure the nations ex- istence, we must not shrink from extending our territory by force. ,
 Young Fascists are willing to pay the price with their own blood. They are calling for domestic and foreign clean up"
 Toooh Nnr1;c Tonofc
 The idealism of Hitler youth is moulded by four points of pro- gram of 25 conceived by Hitler in 1919: CD the will of defence; CD racial consciousness; (3 admira- tion of great historical figures in- cluding dictators like Mussolini; (4 a moral" revival.
 The most radical Hitlerites would go so far as to substitute the Nordic saka, the "Edda", for the Bible; expel Jews and foreigners, inaugurate racial birth control and keep women in the kitchen.
 The political aims of the party as formulated by a Fascist leader recently consist primarily of win ming all heroic people of our na- tion. The regulations of the old army are ours-every man carries the marshaPs staff in his knap- sack"
 Convinced that future genera tions will pronounce our cause right" Fascist youth glibly echoes the words of it's leaders, such as:

Sugar Business
 Remains Good
Lower Price Levels Fails
 to Halt Profits

Business is good in the Hawaiian Islands, according to l. w. He'll man, vice president of the Wells Fargo Bank and Union Trust company, who has just returned from q months trip to Hawaii The executive asserts that our in- sular possessions are one of the brightest spots on tOdays business map.
 "In the midst of world wide de- pression,' said Hellman, the islands are enjoying a fair meas ure of prosperity, and there Is vir- tually no unemployment, prin- cipally because tho two principal industries of the islands--sugar and pineapple-are going full blast"
 Many sugar companies are show Ing profitable operations, in spite of the lowest price levels in many years. This, Hellman. explained, Is because of the substantial reduce tions in operating costs and over head made during the last few years.
 Bank deposits. particularly sav- ings, show marked increases over recent years. Real estate business and buildings are slack, although there Is fair activity in public works. Tourist trade is somewhat below the peak levels of the last few years. Power rates are favor able to industrial expansion, being as low as even in the largest cities in the United States.
 Labor problems in the Hawaiian Islands are practically non-exist- ent, because of the practice of inn porting the bulk of labor from the Philippine Islands under the three year contracts, as needed.
