E,SKIMOS SLOWLY ADOPTING
WAY OF LIFE OF WHITE MAN

bers, the Eskimos cover a tre-
mendous range. The total Eskimo
population of the world has been
estimated at only $4,000, but Eski-
mo villages can be found here and
there throughout the coasts of Arc
tic America from eastern Green
land and northern Labrador to the
westernmost parts of Alaska, and
even on the tip of Asia across the
Bering strait.
Throughout this distance, more
than 5000 miles, the Eskimo speaks
one language, a strange tongue
which requires a vocabulary of TO-
900 words. AS in Chinese, inf1ec-
tion is very important. Few out
siders learn it, although a 'pidgin
English. has sprung up which some
explorers and missionaries mistake
for the Eskimo language.
NEARLY all ESkimos live on or
near the coast because they get
most of their food from the sea.
They raise no vegetables, supple
menting their meat diet in summer
with wild berries and roots. In
summer they hunt land animals and
birds, as a rule, and in the winter
they live on sea mammals and fish.
"Where least affected by the
white mans civilization-along the
Arctic coast of Canada and in the
islands north of Hudson bay-the
Eskimo is perhaps the healthiest
and happiest person on earth. The
village is the largest social unit.
There are no chiefs or rulers.
Leading mem have influence but
no authority. Large animals caught
are shared with others, and per-
sonal property is secure, for one
tribe never makes war against an
other. Along many Of the inlets

FOR EDUCATION
Chicago University to Use
Method of instruction and
Preserving Science.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, May 16.-The University
Of Chicago is going "talkie."
It will not be an attempt to "jazz
up" education, or to go into the enter
tainment business, but will be as ex-
pertinent in the use Of talking pictures
as part of the university's educational
program.
Within two weeks the university will
start the production Of series of 20
films on the physical sciences, which
will be made the basis Of study in the
freshman class beginning next Fall.
They also will be sold to other edu-
cational institutions.
Describing the innovation as part of
the experimental tradition" Of the
school, President Robert Maynard
Hutchins, 33-year-old head of the in
stitution, said it would be the first
organized attempt of any university
to find out what talking pictures can
contribute to classroom work.
I'VE expect to extend it to all
branches of the university, to our
courses in adult education and to many
of the 1900 other institutions which
use our new system of instruction,
he said. It took four years to per-
feet the plan.
The death of scientists in the past
has prevented the world from hearing
them describe their experiments, but
under the new plan their spoken word
will 60 on.
Phenomena which the naked eye
cannot see will be shown. The pic
lures will depict the heartbeat of a
dog. The excavations of Neneveh and
Megiddo, the history Of transportation,
and the life OF plant, and other
wonders Of the scientific world.

Tinkham, testified before the Senate
Lobby Committee on that day. that
nothing had been shipped from his

MOTION PICTURE TAX
is HIT BY SHORTRIDGE
BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press
A plea against the proposed admis-
sion tax on motion picture theaters
charging 10 cents or more was made in
q statement today by Senator Short
ridge, Republican, California, on the
ground that the burden would fen
chiefly on the very poor.
This tax is called for in the revenue
bill now under consideration by the
Senate. Shortridge said the tax would
close at least 5000 more of the smaller
theaters and would "cause justifiable
ill-will against our Government" by de-
priving poor and unemployed persons
Of needed relaxation.
He asked that the Senate agree at
least with the House, which set the tax
on admissions Of 46 cents and over.

BLACK HOLDS UP

FOR CAR MERGER
Suspicious of Sudden Pres
sure" on Subcommittee
to Hasten Action.
MRS. NORTON OPPOSES
DELAY OF MEASURE
Decision on Legislation May Ignore
Series of Amendments as
Proposed by Keech.

Sudden pressure on the Public Utili-
ties Subcommittee of the House Dis
trict Committee to hasten its report
on the bill authorizing a merger Of
Washington's two street railway COM
panies has aroused the suspicion Of
Chairman Black of New York who an
nounced today he proposed to delay
the report for further study.
The subcommittee had planned to
make a favorable report on the bill
next week but developments in the last
few days, Mr.. Black said, have brought
him to a realization that perhaps an
inquiry should be made to determine
why various interests are so anxious
to have the report rushed to the House
at this time.
Asked About Bills Status.
Mr.. Black declared he had received
a number of telephone calls in the last
few days, some of them from repre-
sentatives of the traction companies,
inquiring about the status of the mer-
ger Dill and urging early committee
action.
The sudden interest in the COM
mittee's report" he said, has aroused
my suspicion, and I intend to find out
the reason for 1t. I certainly am not
going to be rushed into submitting the
report"
Representative Mary T. Norton of
New Jersey, chairman of the House
District Committee, expressed her re-
gret over the delay of the utilities sub
committee at the regular meeting of
the District Committee Wednesday.
She said the measure is controversial.
and for that reason she desired early
action on it.
Keech Amendments Ignored.
The utilities subcommittee. according
to Chairman Black, had virtually de-
cided to make favorable report on the
bill substantially as drawn, which would
ignore the series of amendments pro-
posed by Richmond B. Keech, peoples
counsel before the Public Utilities Com
mission, and representatives of civic
organizations. Black pointed out, how
ever, that serious thought had been
given to adoption of one of Keech's pro-
posed amendments. designed to preclude
the merged company from operating
taxicabs. The definite decision, he indi-
Gated, had not yet been reached on
that question.
officials of the street railway COM
panies have assured the committee that
they do not propose to go into the taxi
cab business at this time. 1t was
Keech's intention in suggesting the
amendment to prevent the consolidated
company from ever operating taxicabs.

BULLFROG LOVE STORY ORDERED
REPRINTED IN FEDERAL ROW
Demand for Copies After Many Years Recalls Clash in
Congress When Waste Was Charged

The predicted battle over the Bureau
OF Fisheries publication, The Love Ad-
ventures of an American Bullfrog," was
on today, when the Commerce Depart
ment authorized Public Printer George
H Carter to reprint the pamphlet, N
in the opinion of the Public Printer the
demand for its republication war
rants it."
Mr.. Garter in a letter to the depart
ment requested such permission. stating
that he was making an effort to satisfy
the great demand for copies from all
sections of the country"
The pamphlet was printed 13 years
ago. when a frog farming boom was
sweeping the country. To meet the de-
mands of prospective frog farmers the
Democratic administration. through Sec
retary of Commerce Redfield, paid Prof.
w. H. Wright of Cornell University
Sl,740 to write the pamphlet. 1t was
reported a best seller during its day,
but frog farming proved discouraging
and the article was soon forgotten.
Two months ago, on the floor of the
Senate. Senator Pat Harrison, Demo-
crat of Mississippi, charged the Com
merce Department with gross evtrav-
agance Of public funds by publishing
useless pamphlets, citing the publica-
tlCil Vi tle Dull1rog DO0Rlet as an eX-
ample. He quoted at length from the
pamphlet. which, he said, described
how a gentleman bullfrog makes love
to its ladyfair by grooming or croaking
ditties: how gallant he is when facing
danger and his other characteristics.
Scores Waste of Funds.
Senator Harrison said he was a frog
lover when he was boy and still has
living evidence of this hobby on his
hands. While he thought the booklet
was very interesting, it was of no value
TO the general public and therefore
waste OF public funds. His speech,
which also raped the Agriculture De-
partment for its pamphlet on eight
ming bugs" received wide publicity, and
letters of protest have been received
by the departments from all sections
Commerce Department officials refused
to comment upon the issue, other than
to say they had granted permission for
the pamphlets republication.
Bureau Of Fisheries officials frankly
admit there is no such thing as frog
culture or frog farming, and they have
