MUNG0 PRICE TAG
BLOCKS TRADERS
Dodgers Apt to Be "Stuck"
With HurIer-Leagues Go

~ paying baseball customers be-
fore the three-day meeting of the
diamond traders Is over Wednesday
night.
Nothing of Importance happened in
the major league playing mart over
the week end except maybe that the
traders developed fiat feet and bunions
from standing around hotel lobbies
waiting for the others to surrender
a million dollar player for an auto
graph and some buttons. In fact,
Babe Herman of Brooklyn outfield
fame turned in the only business by
signing to play for the New York
Giant farm in Jersey City
Beginning today some definite nSWs
is inevitable because club owners OF
the American and National Leagues
convene in different hotels to discuss
schedules and affairs of state. We'd
nesday, they meet in a joint session
to hold their annual clinic over the
baseball. Some want the horsehide
deader and some want it to stay lively.
Indications are the ball will be a bit
deader when the 16 major league
clubs go postward next April.
Buyers Shun Grimes.
A THE managers again took up
their vigil behind potted palms
and in telephone booths today, there
was a growing suspicion that Brook
lyn, after all, had Van Mungo and
was stuck with him. The Dodgers
want far too much money for their
runaway star of the hill and the
would-be buyers are all but picketing
salesman Burleigh Grimes. They
reason Brooklyn soon will be ready
to sell Mungo for a song, so they're
waiting the stubble-bearded Burleigh
out
From the mysterious movements of
the various managers, it seems rea-
sonable to expect that the Chicago
Cubs, who never have failed to do
some business at the annual meeting,
would definitely make a deal by to-
morrow night with Pittsburgh. The
Cubs want Mungo badly, but all
Grimes mutters when he is cornered
is: I'VE want Demaree." The Cubs
guarantee they won't sell or trade
their hard-hitting outlelder.

 From Anan the crew moved to Pats Creek. Improvement there ia- cluded building a trail along the creek to Pats Lake, shelter cabin, raft and dock at the lake. At Hunks creek a mile and quarter trail was built to Hunks lake and as at Pats Lake, a shelter cabin, raft and dock were built.
 Both lakes are excellent trout areas. The rafts are built of sr / cedar logs and have a capacity of four persons. They are built to ac commodate outboard motors.
 MT. Wyckoff cautions visitors us- ing the cabins and rafts not to for. get to tie them up. Some years dg' five boats were put on lake in an- other section of Tongass forest, but in short time through neglect each one had gone over the fall sand smashed up.

Little Grass ShackS Are Utilized
 Attu Island Natives

Life on lonely Attu island, far from the madding worlds ignoble strife is a little pleasanter than it was when St Paul was writing to the Galatians. but it is not much different, states the Alaska Press of Juneau.
 The extreme western tip of the New World at the stingeree end of the Aleutian archipelago. Attu is- land has a tiny community of na- tives who subsist largely on pro- ducts of their fields and their ocean, just as they did when John Eliot was preaching to Massasoit out of q tree.
 Douglas Cray, Alaska game war den. and former Douglas youth, who returned on the Seal last week af- ter a five months cruise along the shores of the Aleutian islands on of ticial duties. found this peculiar hole-in-the corner populated by a peaee-loving and quite friendly set clement of Indians.
 Here still exists a form of the little grass shack" which has been extinct in the Hawaiian island; since the last one burned down n Waipio Valley in 1883. The only grass shacks' remaining in Hawaii are built by tourist caterers.
 But on Attu island. there is tle bari-bari, a semi-dugout with earth. en floor covered all over with tuft. ed grass.

cyclone-cellars.
 These dhgouts are the lowest in the scale of domestic life on Attu island, and quite possibly on the North American continent unless one cares to consider the slum con- ditions in certain metropolitan Am erican cities.
 Other Indians, having risen to some degree of affluence during the fishing season, also proceed to raise their houses, and here and there in the. little village of Attu appears a lean-to which signifies a step for ward. The next step is the shack, and so on until the top, which con- sists of handful of natives who own humble wooden houses.
 Many ingenious devices keep the Attu Indians from depending on the village store too much for anything other than tea, flour and other staples. For instance. the sealions which are caught by the hunters contribute their stomach to the At tu water system. That is to say, sea lion stomachs are water gourds on the island. And sealion gullets are used for gumboots, towhich the sole of the boot is sewn.
 Many other interesting habits Warden Gray can tell regarding the Attus. Their fine school-house, ons of the two large buildings on the island, is empty because of lack ot pupils The Greek Catholic Church however, is a structure of great beauty It is all painted gleaming white and it's interior is lavishlI furnished.
