Tribes of the North Turn to
Trapping and Trading.

Washington.-The Eskimo, accord
ing to dispatches from the Far North,
is slowly changing. Each year more
and more Of these remote guardians of
the last frontier are adopting white
mans ways.
In Alaska and western Canada many
Eskimos have broken away from hunt
ing and fishing to meet personal food
and clothing wants and have become
trappers and traders. In Greenland
and northern Labrador the Eskimo
has clustered around the mission sta
lions, adopting the white mans style
of house, rather than sod huts, igloos
and skin tents, and bartering skins for
the white mans canned foods, fire.
arms, clothing and monographs.
"The Eskimos were the first people
met by Europeans on American shores,
but they are still among the least
known, and certainly the least seen,
of all native American tribes" says a
bulletin from the National Geographic
society. "Scandinavians came in con-
tact with Eskimos In Greenland and in
Labrador In the Tenth and Eleventh
centuries. Since that time the Eski-
mos main contacts with the white man
have been through explorers, mission
aries, police officers, and occasional
trappers and prospectors.

600, but Eskimo villages can be found
here and there throughout the coasts
Of Arctic America from eastern Green
land and northern Labrador to the
westernmost parts of Alaska, and
even on the tip Of Asia across the Ber-
ing strait.
Throughout this distance, more
Than 5000 miles, the Eskimo speaks
one language, strange tongue which
requires vocabulary Of 10000 words.
As in Chinese, infection Is very i'm
portant. Few outsiders learn it, al
though a 'pidgin English has sprung
up which some explorers and mission
aries mistake for the Eskimo language.

mos have known white men for nearly
900 years, but there are still, in some
parts Of the Arctic, Eskimos who have
seen only an occasional explorer.
White mems diseases have killed more
than two-thirds of all Eskimos since
the first contacts with them, but the
population is now about stationary.
Except in Alaska, Eskimos do not
live along regular steamship or tour
list routes. The Eskimo seldom can be

Stubborn Coughs
Ended by Recipe,
Mixed at Home

Here is the famous old recipe which
millions of housewives have found to
be the most dependable means of break
ing up stubborn coughs due to colds. 1t
takes but a moment to prepare, costs
little, and saves money, but it gives real
relief even for those dreaded coughs
that follow severe cold epidemics.
From any druggist, get 212 ounces Of
Pinex, pour 1t into pint bottle and fill
the bottle with plain graduated sugar
syrup or strained honey. Thus you make
a full pint of better remedy than you
could buy ready.made for three times
the cost. 1t never spoils and tastes 30
good that even children like it.
Not only does this simple mixture
soothe the inhamed throat membranes
with surprising ease, but also 1t is alb
sorbed into the blood, and acts directly
upon the bronchial tubes, thus aiding
the whole system in throwing off the
cough. 1t loosens the germ-laden
phlegm and eases chest soreness in n
way that is really astonishing.
Pinex is highly concentrated com
pound Of Norway Pine, containing the
active agent of creOsOtc, in n refined,
palatable form. Nothing known in
medicine Is more helpful in cases OF
Eevere coughs and bronchial irritatiOns.
Do not accept a substitute for Pinex:
1t is guaranteed to give prompt relief
or money refunded.

new MOTOR MAY
BE REALIZATION
OF FLYERS GOAL
Nevadan Perfects 10 CYL
Under Engine of Ex=
tremely Small Size

Reno, Nev.-RealiZatio Of the
goal of every aeronautical engi-
neer-a light, powerful motor of
small size-has been achieved in
a new engine nearing completion
here, so its inventor, G. Il. Frank
lin, claims.
Barrel shaped. the motor has 1G
cylinders, mounted horizontally,
parallel to the driving shaft. The
cylinders are attached to rollers
which operate a grooved cylinder
on the inside. This grooved cylin-
der, in turn, operates the main
shaft
The most striking feature is the
comparative smallness of the en-.
gine's frontal area; it is only "a
inches across the front, although
it develops 400 horsepower.
Small Frontal Area
This small frontal area will
make for the ultimate in stream
lined, bullet shaped planes, Frank
lin said One prominent engineer
who endorsed the design predicted
pilots might be forced to lie prone
in the narrow fuselages of the
planes that would be developed,
thus avoiding the terrific wind
pressure accompanying maximum
speeds.
Military planes capable of better
than 800 miles per hour, with guns
firing through a hollow propeller
shaft, and transatlantic planes
crossing eastward in 10 hours
would be possible with the new
motor, Franklin declared.
Die Powered
Relia bility is one of the chief
advantages of the motor, accord
ing to its hackers. Diesel powered
and therefore cheap in opera
tion-it has practically no intri-
cate. precision fooled parts, the de-
signer said. Failure of one cylin-
der would not seriously effect the
engines operation; pilots might
carry extra cylinders, to be fitted
in place of the faulty cylinder
with little effort, Franklin pointed
out.
The motor successfully COM
pleted a 75-hour test run in Kan
sas City. A plane will soon be
built to test it, after which n
transcontinental speed record run
Is planned.
F'ranklin's hackers include Da-
vid G. Revley, one of the Oldest H.
censed pilots in the west. with NY
ing experience dating from 1912,
Revley said plans were being made
to assemble the motors in Detroit,
and build the planes here.

Motor Vehicle
Department Starts
Minute E Examinations
Stocked Orders Special Division to Handle Work and
Thus Safeguard Lives of Chidren-High Degree
of Safety Demanded in Regulations

miles, has been begun by the In
spection Section of the Motor
vehicle Department, Commissioner
Robbins 3. Steoeckel said today.
The purpose, he explained, is to
make certain these children are
protected from injury and death by
insisting upon compliance with re-
quired standards of equipment for
motor vehicles employed in this
service.
Regulations have been in force
for some years which demand a
high degree OF mechanical equip
ment and Interior appointments
for these buses. Recently, Com
missioners Stoeckel said, there has
been report of deviation from these
required conditions in some in
stances. The inspection will ascer-
tain whether there has been lax
ity and result in orders for rem
cry.
1.-THE department will investigate
matters of seating arrangement,
seating capacity, headroom, types
Of doors, methods of ventilation,
weight Of load, specific operating
safety devices, means of protect
ing passengers when windows are
raised and number of certain
items of mechanical equipment.
Incorporation of the school au-
thorities Is being asked by the
department. Secretaries of school
committees and boards Of educa-
ton in the various towns and cities
are being invited to assist by re-
porting the names of motor vehicle
registrants who are transporting
children in thier Jurisdiction under
any sort of agreement or contract
with the authorities. Already there
has been a large response.
CONNECTICUT has been fortunate
in It's freedom from school bus
accidents. Insistence upon the i'm
portance of safety features in con-
nection with school bus operation
here is possibly largely responsible
for the good record in this class Of
traffic. 1t will not be surprising to
find in this check that there are
few instances of departure from
legal restrictions.

Mr.. Stocked, was read to-day by
