INDIAN TOWN
YIELDING TO
CIVILIZATION

ALITAK, Alaska. Wp) - Gradu-
ally civilization is making an i'm
preston on Alitak, remote Indian
village of rs inhabitants on the
southern tip of Kodiak Island, but
for the most part life goes on as
it did decades ago.
Most significant change is a neat
little green school house, facing
Alitak Bay, above the houses of
the villagers. The town is located
on the treeless part of the island,
facing the open sea. The only veg
citation is tall grass, moss and a
few shrubs.
Homes of the Indians are built
of logs, cast up by the tides. Their
time is spent in fishing, hunting
and trapping, according to the
season. Land otter ranks first in
the fur take, with ermine second
and various species of foxes third.
Hair seals, hunted by primitive
methods, yield cooking oil from
blubber and floor coverings from
pelts.
Principal item of villagers diet
is bear meat, from the great Ko-
diak bears, largest in the world,
some of which weigh a ton or
more. When one is killed, surplus
meat is sailed away.

ARMY TO FEED
300 AT XMAS
DINNER PARTY

Plans to feed 300 people on
Christmas are being made by the
Ell Centric Salvation Army post.
Capt R. Eplet, commander, said
early this week. A complete din
ner menu is now being prepared.
1--WE are making provisions to
provide for both local families and
INDECENT men, Eplet said. Families
will have their dinner in the large
hall at the front of the army build
ing while transient men will be
given Christmas dinner in the shell
ter at the rear of the property.
Every effort is being exerted to-
ward securing turkeys to make
the holiday feast enjoyable for
guests of the Salvation army, the
captain said, but the menu is not
definitely determined as yet.
A special program for children
who had no other Christmas has
been arranged by this organization
for Dec. 81. A Christmas tree with
all the trimmings will provide the
decoration. A Christmas program
will be presented by the Salvation
Army Sunday school, and the par
ty will be climaxed with the APP
pearance of Santa Claus who will
give toys and candy to all children
present.

the Ell Centre Fish market. Even
to the occasional drinker bottle
of his favorite potion will be mighty
acceptable. And, of course, liquors
may be chosen to suit the purse as
well as the taste.
Christmas City
A tour through Christmas city
to see the hundreds OF suitable
gifts on display is recommended as
fruitful source of gift ideas by
the M o. King store. For every
person and for every pocketbook
suggestions may be found in
Christmas city.
Serving trays to help the hostess
and all of the little gadgets a good
hostess needs, serving forks, chat
ing dishes, etc. are mentioned as
ideal presents by the Imperial
Valley Hardware company.
AS a haven for weary shoppers
and warm comfortable place to
sit and slowly sip the smoothness
of well-mixed drinks the Trocadero
fits perfectly into the Christmas
picture. This taproom suggests
that shoppers drop in enc of these
afternoons for a pre-Christmas
treat.
Gift Order
Always discriminating as an APP
peal to her taste, a gift order for
clothes may prove a hfe-saver for
the worried swain, DunlapS points
out. Whether she needs shoes, a
hat, or what goes in between, a
gift order at Dunlaps will please
her, this firm asserts.
Dressy sweaters in action backs
and the new bright shades are sug-
gested as suitable for everyone by
the Marcel store. Combining util-
ity with smart appearance the
proper sweater makes good pres
ent for everybody from little Os-
car to old Aunt Ophelia.
To make her really radiant on
Christmas the California Frock
shop suggests bringing the lady
down to choose her own gift. This is
energy saved for the buyer and will
probably be the perfect present for
the lady.
Fountain pens that can't leak,
fountain pens that have double ink
capacities, new colors and styles,
but fountain pens are the smart
gift to give both for beauty and
utility, maintains the Office Sup
ply company. Gew-gadgets fer the
office, paper clipping machines,
desk sets, etc. are also suggested.

When Ell Centre children appear
on Christmas morning with their
stockings of candy and orarges,
their new red wagons, mara dolls,
and tricycles, wide-eyed Mexican
youngsters will stare in amazement,
sure that the Magi must have made
mistake in their schedule.
The Magi or Three Kings are the
Santa Claus of Mexico and of
many Observation-Disclosures. In some
cases the conflicting legends lead
to double-gift spree, On Dec. 25,
and on Jan. 4. The Magi or wise
men are credited with having pre-
sented their gifts to the Christ
child on January 4. This is the
most easily traceable of all Christ
mas mythology. The unbroken run
of Catholicism in Spain, brought
to Mexico with the Spanish con-
quest, has kept the original custom
of presenting gifts in the narne of
the Magi intact.
On the night of January 3 the
children of Spain place their shoes
on the balcony along with wisp
of hay or fodder for the horses
of the Three Kings. Mexican child
rem, generally lacking access to a
balcony leave their zapatos (shoes)
by the fireplace or outside the
door.
Midnight Ride
just after midnight the Three
Kings, in splendid royal trappings,
are supposed to appear and fill the
shoes in return for the horse fod-
der Bad children will find only
a switch in place of the hoped-for
presents.

warded good children and punished

Harmony Rules
Trimmings for
Christmas Tree

LEIPZIG. {UP) - Christmas tree
decorations in endless variety are
designed a year ahead of time.
More than 5000 kinds of orna-
ments are supplied by a single
manufacturer for world distribu-
ton.
Several of the leading modern
designers specialize in these deco
rations, creating literally thou
sands of new ornaments every
year. The styles in Christmas tree
decorations reflect the general
taste of the period. Modernistlc
designs and color effects will DOM
mate many of the Christmas trees
this season.
One of the newest ideas shown
at the Leipzig Fair this year is to
use a series of ornaments which
together carry out an harmonious
scheme of decoration. Christmas
trees have been decorated for CEN
turtles, but the ornaments in re-
cent years marked great artistic
advance.

MAN REMAINS
SAVAGE, SAYS
DE AN INGE

LONDON. W.R)-"Modern man is
just a savage who fancies himself
civilized" declares Dean Inge.
Look at the fashions" he says.
THE savage woman puts a ring
through her nose; the civilized
lady through her ears. The Chi
nese ladies used to bind their feet;
the civilized lady puts every organ
of her body out of shape by high
heels.
The Hottentot woman prides
herself on projecting portentously
behind, while the English girl of
today tries to obliterate all the
curves in which female beauty
consists. The civilized man uses
an organ instead of a tom-tom in
his religious worship; but the idea
is just the same

Police Always

HARRISBURG, Pa. U.R) = The
Pennsylvania State Police Corps,
organized 80 years ago, is proud
of its tradition that no slayer of
trooper avoids punishment.
Eleven of their humber have
been killed in line of duty since
1905. Not one of the slayers was
successful in avoiding capture.
In at least one instance, the ia
tally wounded trooper reminded
his confederates of their "unwrit-
ten law" before dying. In 1881
Sgt. Timothy Mccarthy was shot
down by Marshall Lodge, dement,

SETBACK IS GIVEN
GAS LIGHT CO. IN
VALUATION BOOST
Utilities Commission Rejects
One of Methods of Esti-
.. mating Values.
$6,435,e19 INCREASE
TO COST WAS PROPOSED
Formula offered by Engineering
Corporation Is Attacked by
Peoples Counsel Roberts.

The Public Utilities Commission has
struck a severe blow at hopes of the
Washington Gas Light Co. for large
boost in the commissions valuation
of its property, observers said today,
by rejecting one of the company's
methods of estimating values.
The commission has ruled out OF
consideration as improper and with
out merit a formula employed by the
gas company to raise its figures on
Original costs" of its physical proper
ties by "trending" the cost upward
by using price levels Of December
81. 1884.
Had that process been approved, it
would have added $6,435,9l9 to the
Original cost" figures for the COM
pany in this particular means of esti-
mating values and disregarding other
factors entering into the picture.
Attacked BY Peoples Counsel.
The ruling was made late yester-
day by the commission in connection
with testimony offered for the COM
pany by S. F. Rosters of the Stone &
Webster Engineering Corp. The for
,mula preferred by Rosters had been
attacked by Peoples Counsel William
A. Roberts.
A variety of methods is employed
by both company and commission ex-
eperts in figuring values. One Of
these is to show the original cost of
provision of the physical properties
of the company. Rosters had pre-
scented figures to show the original
costs of property installed by the
company prior to July !, 1882, had
a cost value of S16,397,578. To this,
he added $1,67l 1895 rs the cost of
additions made from the 1882 date to
December 81, 1884, making the total
as of the latter date, S18,069,473.
Rosters then applied price indlces
as of December 81, 1884, to these cal
culations, the net result of which was
to set up the figure of S24,505, 1892 as
the original cost of plant trended up
to the end of last year.
While the commission has allowed
use of price trend in other valuations
formulate, it rejected application Of
this formula to the original cost data.
Valuation Put at S15,000,000.
The commission fixed the valua-
ton of the gas company at approx
imately s15,000,OoO as of June 80,
1882, in a former case. The commits
sion now plans to bring this valua-
ton up to date through the end Of
last year as a more current guide as
to what shall be the rates to be
charged by the company. Similar
data is being gathered on the George
town Gas Light Co., which is owned
by the Washington company.
