Neutrality-suspicious., Alaska, re-
Gently almost entirely destroyed by
fire, is an outstanding example of
town named by mistake. IL early
maps of Alaska one cape wa left
nameless and an official to who1 the
draft was submitted penciled beside
it the query "name?" A copyist
transcribed the scrawled question as
Nome" and the name stuck. When
the gold rush came in 1899. the little
settlement which had previously been
called Anvil City, adopted the name
of the cape, II miles to the east.
"Nome is only about 100 miles
southeast of Cape Prince of Wales
which marks the American side Of
Bering strait, and less than $50 miles
from the mainland Of ASIA" says a
bulletin from the National Geographic
society headquarters in Washington.

"Yep," said the old boat builder,
brother John an me is out of the
tourist business. We figgered, there
bein' not much doin' in our own line
that we might put up log cabins on
the old place for folks to STAY in
overnight, or mebbe a week at a time.
Most everybody that's got a piece of
ground between here an Machias
does 1t, an makes money, so they tell
me, but guess the women folks does
the most of the tendin' to it. 1
thought once that putin a boat to-
gether so she would ride the water
like duck was quite leetle trick,
but 1t amt nawthin' to fixin' I'D a
camp so it will please woman.
"Bein' mechanics from boys up,
buildin' the cabins wasn't no trouble.
We just drew along the rud piece
an see what the shacks that the
farmers had built was like; then we
come home, got the lumber from town,
an built us five of 'em. There they be
now. Take look at EN- and tell me
II you ever seen anything that could
beat 'em for the right draft an beam.
They's everything into 'em. Hot air
stoves for chilly weather, pictures of
the worlds biggest battles that we
got out of history book our grand
dad left US when he died an an all
the tin ware an chiny anybody needs
to get a meal together with.
"Just to give the place home like
touch, we took "trip around some of
the farms an got some things to
pretty 'em up, like tides for the
chairs an artificial flowers an wall
notices. When we had everything
ready an invitin' we put up a sign:
Camps, night, day an weeks If you
want 'em' out by the big rud and
sure enough right away folks begun
to come in.
"Bur they was kind of folks that
was different from any me an John
had ever see. The first was a woman
about sixty with a husband little
older. Before she would even look
at one of the camps she began to ask
questions of me.
"'Are these places clean?' says she.
They don't look it,"
They're bran new, ma'am,' I says.

"'Are the furnishings adequateT :"
"They're the adequatest furnish

what she was talkin' about"
"'Very well, I'll look at Them"
II was goin' along, but she waved
me away. I'll let you know our de-
cision,' she says, an takin' the bunch
of keys I give her off she went, her
husband trailin' along behind her."
II was just thinkin' how pleased
an surprised she'd be, when back she

RELIEF HEADS
BLAMED WHEN
FOOD SPO|LS

NEW YORK, Dec. IA G.N.SO.
While hundreds of thousands in
New York went hungry, pro.
digious quantities of food shipped
here for relief of the starving
were permitted to spoil or &C
cumulate in warehouses, it was
disclosed today.
Lack of cooperation between
the State temporary emergency
relief administration and New
York city's welfare department
was blamed.
The story of waste, as drawn
from Carl Anderson, manager
of the food and clothing dis.
tribution bureau of the welfare
department, was that:
One million. four hundred thou
sand pounds of potatoes were per.
mitted to spoil through freezing
and 100000 additional pounds
are probably spoiled.
Nine million pounds of cabbages
1888 carloads) we're received here
when only 100000 pounds had
been asked for. The surplus is
spelling because the city is not
permitted to process foodstuffs
received for relief purposes.
Four million cans of roast beef
were received over AnderSon's
protest. 1t was necessary to stack
900, 900 cans on city piers.
