KINDLY PEOPLE FOREGATHER AT LAKE ILIAMNA FEAST
 ING AND DANCING

A people of whom eminent Am erican scientists have said They enjoy the distinction of being one of the most widely spread aboriginal races of the world"
 |l From Labrador north to Green land, thence westerly along the Arc tic shore to Point Barrow, southwest erly and southerly along Point Hope Cape Prince of Wales, around Nor ton sound, past the lower Yukon and kuskokWim rivers, southerly and eastrely along Boring sea to Ugashik thence across the Alaska peninsula to kanatak, and across Shelikof Strait to Kodiak island, they were one distinctive and homogeneous people. Alike in language, customs and culture.
 Kindly People
 Steffansen has characterized the Arctic as The FEindly Arctic. The Eskimo, if as they call themselves, the Innuit, which means simply the people, might well be called The Friendly People,
 For the adjective kindly most apt ly desribes the Innuit race. The Rev Francis Barnum s. J., from whom the writer first above quoted, says of them: They are very fond of visiting-+there is constant inter change of hospitality along the coast
 And that is true today, even in those sections of the North where time has dealt hard with this vigor- ous race.
 As this is being written, prepara- tions have been under way for some time for an oldtime dance, feast and potlatch at the village of Newhalen on Lake Illiamni. Early in Decem- Der the people of that village dis patched messengers to the Nusha- gak River.
 These messengers with great form and ceremony, on their arrival at the village of Nunachuak, some three sleeps on their journey distant, in- vited the Ilagyakamut of the Nush- agak river to be the guests of New halem, at time of which they would be more fully notified later.
 Ancient Customs I In due and ancient form this sec ond invitation has now been deliver ed. When the visiting Nushagak- CTS arrive within a few hours of NeWhalem they will again be met by runner who with much cere- mony will apprize the visitors that they are welcome, and bid them hasten, but will also, in no uncer- tain words, inform the visitors that their expectations as to certain del icacies being served at the ensuing feastS are not to be realized. The spokesman for the visitors will then in respectful but forceful phrases inform the runner, that they as guests are fully cognizant of their rights as such guests, and that they propose to remain under their hosts roof trees until such time as the us- ages of hospitality have been fully met. And that they know that their

 Days Of Dancing
 Th.S runaes must now keep ahead .of the ys:'ors all th2 way to the village and will advise with other runners who are to meet the visit ors and deliver other dicta as to ta- boos some of them in joke and some quite otherwise. The dance will last several days, and what with the in terchange of gifts, the really re- markable rhythm of the drum obli- gato to the old songs, the pictures que headdresS and finger masks, and the feasting, it will be perfectly safe to assume that a good time will be had by all
 Although the numbers of the Vest ern Innuit have in parts of the Nor inland been greatly leSSened during the past several generations, they still are numerous enough to conSti- ute an important economic asset in many of the fishing and trapping sec tionS.

 Liquor Control
 The Bar Association of Juneau is to be congratulated on the courage and wisdom shown in their recent memorial to the Territorial legisla- ture and Board of Liquor control concerning the Alaska native, liq- uor and beer
 Every thinking person realizes of course that this is not a new pro- blem or one easily solved.
 But it needs something done about it. The writer maintains that con- ditions could not be worse than they were last summer at the place here in specifically mentioned.
 Let it be hoped that whatever action taken in the matter, and whatever power may be given to the Board of Liquor Control, that they may have the backing of the legit- innate, (not necessarily the legaD business interests of the Territory, and awakened interest on the part of the public generally
 Welcome Reform
 have been assured by many of the natives of this section that for the good of their people they would welcome such action as has been re- commended by the Bar Association l With condition as they are gener- ally in the business and political world, Alaska industry can little af- ford to have considerable part of her producers further incapacitated from productive effort.

The housing trend in Washing
ton, peculiarly enough, is not
toward the northwest at the mo-
ment, as it has been in the past.
There is a definite trend on the
part of home buyers and those
seeking housing facilities on a
rental basis to go to the Northeast
and Southeast, officials assert.

The purchasing program, there.

There is today, however, a con-

some day the Olympic games will

Housing Problem
Washington is soon to have a
municipal center which will house
all of the local courts. Money for
this project, which will be com.

work is expected to start this fall.

The Washington times., 1935-05-18

Don't Ever Leave Me" is an
experiment in which Katharine
Brush takes the kernel Of a
swift-moving short story and
stretches it out to novel length.
Previously, she had succeeded
in painting the progress Of an en-
tire decade in two scenes in a
speakeasy. She has unfolded the
mounting drama of a lifetime by
simply describing the condition
of handful of momentoes, aban-
doned in the move from one
apartment to another.
In short, she has made symbols
speak more forcibly than actions,

The paintings ana the draw
ingS are the work Of students in
the Studio House School during
the past year; also included is
some advanced work of profes-
sional artists under the supervi.
sion of the schools faculty.
Although most artists take their
inspiration more or less from
some great man who preceded
them, the work of the students
at the Studio House is particu-
larly interesting along this line
because of the method of instruc-
ton used in their art education.
Study Old Masters
The school uses the paintings
in the Phillips Memorial Gallery
as the basis for it's instruction.
Students study the works of the
old masters there and from this
study develop their own indi-
vidual bent.
It's interesting what a long way
from Reubens or Rembrandt a
budding artist may stray after
studying them at great length. It
is also interesting to note how
different a Corot can look when
an art student tries to emulate
that great landscape painter.
However, mixed with the anna
teurish-looking work, there is
some very lovely painting on ex-
hibition at the Studio House.

Written in the same suave style

its companion, "Claudius The
God" is a fitting sequel.
The simple quiet air in which
Robert Graves clothes the bravura
incidents of Roman history has an
instant appeal that is well car
ried out throughout the volume.
Human relationships have t. far
more reaching appeal than heavy
recitals of exact historical Stats
tics and this sugar-coated tale is
a splendid example Of that appeal.
The blending of humor from the
broad bold strokes to its sly subtle
tones adds rather than detractS
from the tones magnificience.
In this sequel we learn from the
lips Of ClaudiuS all about the trials
and tribulations Of being an EN-.
peror. The modeSty he processes,
however, is palpably a sop to his
vanity. Here, says he, are the ex-
traordinary accomplishments of
Tiberius Claudius GermanicuS, etc,
etc, he who his relatives branded
as an inhecile, the cripple, the
sufferer.
Despite the fact he was poisoned
because Of political differences it
is not too much to suspect that
the real reason for the asSassina-
ton was because those close beside
him were bored with his conceit.
Despite the good he did for the
empire on the one hand, he was
often so ill-advised and easily de-
ceived that the bad results Of his
reign were considerable. The most
monstrous act with which he
finds himself charged today is
making Nero his heir and then
getting himself killed before he
could change the line Of descent.
