 No mention of babies suffering from mnlnutrition, lacking. milk or fed from garbage pails. Just pictures of fat, prosperous babies, with sweet. cute or impish ex- pressions on their little faces.
 Most politicians seem to think that "Babies--Just Babies" will have such a good effect on the baby vote that 1t will offset the effect of Smiths failure to say something about Roosevelt In "The New Outlook" but Babies Just Babies" has only now ap- pcared. whereas Smiths attitude toward the governor has been 1n- fuencing his followers for months.
 Don't take the baby vote too lightly. It's a lot likc the soldier vote, which is not only the strength of the veterans them selves, but also that of their rela- tivcs. friends and creditors.
 Thus 1t is not irrelevant to say that babies arc more generally pleased with Mrs RooScvelts magazine than democrats arc with MT Smiths magazine. For whereas Mrs Roosevelt insists that nIl babies are simply won. derful, MT Smith declares that many democrats are just q pain in the neck.

 There seems no way even to guess at tho relative political ef- Babies." which is Mrs Roosevelt's E which IS Al Smiths magazine.
 Obviously. very few voters are in any condition to take on two new magazines all at once, which would seem to promise the wider circulation to Mrs Rooseveits magazine because you save 10 cents buying Fables ~-- Just Babies," instead of "The New Out look"
 There are one or two other slight differences between the two periodicals, such as the tendency of "BabicS--Just Babies" to carry more pictures.
 
 Complications ensue for the political analysis, however, for ono finds that voters are divided into various classes when 1t comes to being affected by the two month lies. There are those who ap- plnud Governor Smiths product. those who coo ecstatically over Mrs Roosevelts product. and those who approve both.
 On the other hand. there are others who look at first one and then the other and say Huh" not only once, but twice. Conse- qucntly. only n straw vote could indicate anything conclusive.
 MT Smith appears to strike q note which is slightly liberal and mildly rcactionary. Mrs Roose- veIt's magazine is frankly con- servative, though probably to the core.

According to Professor Carl C. Gaum of Rutgers at a meeting of the Mark Twain Association the man who can laugh at him. self rates extremely high in intelligence. But he has no use for the snicker. a low risible form which he puts in the same class with the wisecrack This professor even con- siders the snicker of lower order than the sheer. He said "when Main street can really laugh at itself it is getting somewhere. We want little laughter at political plat forms that ignore economic conditions, but in the last analysis it doesn't matter who makes the nations laws. if the right people can make its laughter"

awhile snow houses, or igloos,
are always associated with Eski-
mos, about half the Eskimo world
does not know them at all. Igloos
are almost never used in Labrador
or in Alaska. Where the white
mans frame house is not obtain
able the native Eskimo lives in
dugout covered with sod, the roof
being supported by poles or animal
bones. In the summer the skin
tent, or tupic, is used, particularly
while on hunting forays.
1.-The igloo. perhaps the most un-
usual of all dwellings, is made of
blocks of snow, with clear piece
of ice for a window. Beds and
benches are of ice, with warm furs
on top. A shallow pan made of
stone or iron, shaped somewhat
like a dustpan, is used for lamp
or stove. Along the fiat side is
dry moss for a wick. Inside the
pan is seal oil. The cooking kettle
is suspended above the pan. Iron
kettles and pans are of recent use,
and are acquired from the white
man, because the Eskimo has no
iron, and very little wood.
I'm Greenland and Labrador ES-
kimos have known white man for
nearly 900 years, but there are still,
in some parts of the Arctic, Eslii-
mos who have seen only an occa-
sional explorer. White mems dis
eases have killed more than two
thirds of all Eskimos since the first
contacts with them, but the popr-
lation is now about stationary.
Except in Alaska, Eskimos do
not live along regular steamship or
tourist routes. The Eskimo seldom
can be induced to leave his north
land, and the few who have been
lured away have returned as quick
ly as possible"

Tribes of the North Turn to
Trapping and Trading.

Washington.-The Eskimo, ac-
cording TO dispatches from the Far
North, is slowly changing. Each
year more and more of these re-
mote guardians of the last frontier
are adopting white mans ways.
In Alaska and western Canada
many Eskimos have broken away
from hunting and fishing to meet
personal food and clothing wants
and have become trappers and trad
ers. In Greenland and northern
Labrador the Eskimo has clustered
around the mission stations, adopt
ing the white mans style of house,
rather than sod huts, igloos and
skins for the white mans canned
foods, firearms, clothing and pho
nographs.
"The Eskimos were the first peo-
pie 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. "Scan-
dinavians came in contact with Es-
kimos in Greenland and in Labra-
dor in the Tenth and Eleventh cen
turies. Since that time the Eski-
mos main contacts with the white
man have been through explorers,
missionaries, police officers, and
occasional trappers and prospec-
tors.
