THIS surname is one Of several sep
arate and distinct family names
which originated with the name Greg
or McGregor Of Scotland.
The Greg family Of NorthcBfie Han,
County Chester, England, traced de-
scent from the clan MacGregor.
Tradition has it that these various
derivatives of the name MacGregor
appeared when under the rule Of
King James VI and Charles I edicts
were issued aaginst the entire clan
of MacGregor, denouncing them and
forbidding the use Of the name. In
consequence Of this action, the clan
split up, many Of them taking the
names Gregg, Gregory, Greig, Greig-
son, Griggs, Grigson. Most Of these
names are well known in Great Brit
ain, America and many European
countries, as many members Of the
clan scattered to the four corners Of
the world.
This coat of arms Is accredited to
Joseph GriggS, resident Of Boston,
Mass, in TIA. The arms are blaz-
oned: "Gules-three ostrich feathers
argent. Crest-a sword in pale en-
filed with o leopard's face all proper"

Psychology
BY DIR. JESSE w. SPROWLs.
Self -Expression.

MANY persons seem to complain a
Avn great deal about their inability
to express themselves. They can't I'M
derstand just why IL is that they can
not do the things they would like to
do. Suspicious Of thwarted promise
lurk in the souls Of most persons. To
be sure. as one grows older such sus-
picions are less prominent. During
the adolescent period they are force
full, and as such they may account
for some Of the ambitions that old
folks are not exactly in sympathy
with.
The urge to self expression is really
a sort Of compulsion. To begin with,
the human being is endowed with
energy. He wants to move about and
to move things about. The question
Of self-expression then becomes a
question Of how to expend energy.
That's the central point Of all educa-
ton.
One has to go to the psychiatrist to
get the truth about self-expreSSion.
He sees it in the rough. The queer
behaviorism of the mentally i'll are
to the psychiatrist an enlarged pic
ture of the compulsions which lie
sleeping in the souls Of those who pass
for normal.
The struggle for self expression goes
on. It shapes and reshapes personali-
ties from day to day, year to year.
The energy back of it Is the perma-
nent possibility of readjustment.

to change all the quicker"
Now, OF course, Old MI. Toad's suit
Is his skin, and he isn't In the least
comfortable If his skin Is dry. He
must have a moist skin. OF course,
sitting in the full glare from jolly,
round, bright Mr.. Sun his skin soon
became dry. It grew drier and still
more dry. He was uncomfortable. He
began to pant for breath. But Old
Mr.. Toad is an obstinate fellow. He
wouldn't give up and go back in the
shade where he would be comfortable.
No, sir; he wouldn't do that. He was
bound to ind out If sitting In the

He tried to look over his shoulder,
and he went through q lot Of funny
antics trying to do that, for you
know he has almost no neck at all.
He just couldn't see himself. All he
could see we're his arms and legs and
these hadn't changed a bit. This was
disappointing, but Stickytoes had said
that it took quite q while for the
change to take place. So Old Mr..
Toad obstinately continued to sit out
in the sunshine and to grow more and
more uncomfortable. At last he could
stand it no longer. He fairly crept
back under that bush. He couldn't
remember ever having felt quite so
uncomfortable. He half expected his
skin to crack. Jenny Wren alighted
in that bush.

Mr.. Toad.
Jenny looked surprised. 1.-THE same

Many have become penniless and in want and public or sem-public
 charges here-City Council en- deavoring to get Solution of pro- blem through Federal Authorities.
Anchorage Times)


 Many of the Indians in Anchorage and vicinity have been appealing to the city authorities for assistance flo late, and have become a serious local problem. Members of the city coun- cil have been in conference on the subject of late, and are taking defin ite steps to see if the federal gov ernment through the department of Indian Affairs or some other branch will not take up the task of look ing after the Indians and seeing that they do not become permanent local eharges on the community.
 The contention is made here that the Indians naturally are wards of the federal government, and that some provision should be made az ainst them gathering or drifting into the cities and becoming charges of the municipality or subjects of local charity.
 Many of the Indians who earned some money during the summer, in- cluding married Indians and women and children as well as men, spent all they had soon after getting it, and a great number of them were victims of excessive drinking and put most of their money in liquor and are now penniless and seeking local assistance. The same condition is said to exist in many other Alaskan towns
 The local council members, are et the opinion that it possibly would l be best to remove the Indians tC nearby reservations, such as Tyonek on Cook Inlet, and requiring that they remain there and be looked af ter by the federal government, pos. sibly by the Bureau of Indian Affairs while they are unable to get work or sustain themselves.

 Dr. Murray is commissioned of ficer of the United States public health service and has spent 20 years in this capacity. He was loaned to the Bureau of Indian Af fairs last summer succeeding pr. F. s. Fellows.
 Dr. Murray has an airplane of his own in which he covered thou sands of miles during the year, wis iting various parts of the territory in pursuit of his duties in the Indian service.
 He has been entitled the Flying Doctor" because of his practice of using an airplane in making calls about the territory. Todate he has covered more than 10000 miles in 90 hours.
 He is attempting to show that an economy can actually be effected in using plane in the bureaus med ical work in, the territory. In three trips around the territory during year he plans to visit each individ- ual place containing humans at least once and the larger places two and three times year.
 One trip will be made on wheels touching at all possible landings. An other will be made on skis, reaching many of those omitted before, and a third trip in the spring will ser ve to reach points missed in the first two trips

Murray and Indian Work


 Anent the Indian situation here, and the Indian problem in other parts of the territory, the views and plans of Dr Vance B. Murray on plans he has in mind are timely. The Ketchikan Chronicle of recent date refers to his visit there in work for welfare of the Indians says:
 With the realization of construc- ton of a hospital or sanitarium for natives in this city failing to appear the bureau of Indian affairs plans to make other provisions for the care of it's charges here.
 Tt has been pending and discuss ed for over two years now" Dr Van ce B. Murray, medical director for the bureau, explains, "and the need for provision is too great to wait any longer"
 Dr. Murray is in the city for a short stop, inspecting affairs of the bureau for the first time since his appointment. He arrived here on the North Star from Juneau and plans to leave in day or two for Wrangell. Conferences with To- cal medical men and officials of the bureau have engaged his time since his arrival in Ketchikan.
 He spent considerable time con- tacting representatives of natives of the district, many of whom have been in the city recently for the an nual convention of the Alaska Nat i've Brotherhood. As "the customers of the services of the Bureau of In dian Affairs" their wishes as indie. ated during the convention will bear considerable weight in making deci- sions for them, he told them.
 On his return to Juneau, Dr. Mur- ray plans to make four specific re- commendations to the department heads, the appointment of local doctor to serve as a special deputy for the medical department of the

service, the appointment of To- cal dentist in a similar capacity, contract arrangement with the Ket- chikan General hospital to take care of specified minimum number of native patients each year and the establishment of medical provisions in one of the west coast villages, eith CT Craig or Klawock.
 Tn the latter instance Dr. Murray cites the fact that natives there are never assured of medical attend ant, especially in times when one is most needed. The region is too poor ly populated with white settlers to warrant a doctors establishing practice there, depending on this alone as a livelihood.
 Resident Doctor
 The plan is to appoint resident doctor for some town there, paying him a minimum salary for part-time attention to native patients. In ad dition the need for minimum hospi- tai provisions is felt and will be strongly recommended.
 Regarding the appointment of a local physician and dentist for this 1-city he stated that the appointment would be a part time position in each case, working in conjuction with the local public health nurse of the bureau.
 Details of the appointments that he will recommend were not dis closed by Dr. Murray The plans will be passed upon by higher off cials in the service before they can be considered assured, he explained.
 A plan has been under considera- {, ton whereby a number of full-time medical men were to have been pro vided for in the near future. pr. Murray's plan is to modify this, dis pensing with the full time men in
