 TO BUILD NEW HOSPITALS

Construction of a Sl5O,000 Bureau of Indian Affairs hospital at Bethel will begin not later than the summer of 1888 and Indian Affairs hospitals are to be constructed at Kanakanak and Panama at future date. it was announced some time ago.
 Remodeling and enlargement of the hospital at Kotzebue, remodel of the hospital at Unalakleet and con- structlon of a nurses clinic and quarters at Kodiak are also planned.
 Details of the hospital construction program were learned from Dr. Fl. R. Stamm, architect in charge of the Office of Indian Affairs Dr. SLamm arrived in Anchorage some time ago from Fairbanks after a trip through out Alaska which has taken him into nearly 9 Alaskan towns and villages including Point Barrow. He is study ing the Territory in regard to build ing conditlo q, hospitals, schools and building sites.
 Plans are completed for the Bethel hospital, which will have the largest capacity of any Indian Affairs hos pital in Alaska when completed. Plans are being drawn for g and 49-bed capacities, with construction to be made according to the latter if possible.
 The Bethel hospital will be com petely modern, and will be equipped to handle surgery, medical obstetri- ca. clinical and tubercular cases. T. will have X-ray equipment and will be able to handle eye, ear and nose patients.
 Construction may not begin this summer but is definitely planned to

WASHINGTON NEWSLETTER BY J J. ECKLES
 Secretary to the Delegate

In a conference had with the Presi- ent on June Is, Senator Schwellen- 5ach of Washington. Dr. Ernest GrLening, Director of the Division of Territories and Island Possessions and Delegate Dimond took up three matters of importance to the Terri 1ory.
 The three-fold purpose. for which this conference was held was to work out a means of expedItiQg the begin ming of construction of the Pacific Yukon Alaska Highway to- connect Alaska with the United States with g road suitable for motor traffic through Canada, to lay a. stronger groundwork for approval of -compan- ion bills now pending in. both the House and Senate to promote air navigation in Alaska and between Alaska and the United States, and to do whatever is possible to harmoniZe the g. point program for development of the Territory with the tentative program of he Administration
 The President has not lost interest in the Highway, and there IS good ground to feel that means of -fnanc- Ing the proposed construction, satls- factory to both the United States and to Canada, may be developed.
 An analysis was madS of the bills introduced by Senator SchwelleHbach and Delegate Dimond which carry an authorization for the appropriation of eight million dollars to provide for the development of Alaska through construction and improvement of roads, air fields, hotels, and schools, .--l for the natives of Alaska. equipment and facilities for the University of Alaska, and rehabilitation of The AL aska Railroad The Delegate said that as a result of this conference, he felt confident that the objection which the Bureau Of Budget had made to enactment Of these Alaska development bills would be with drawn.
 The Delegate, supported by Sena- tor Schwellenbach and Dr. -Gruening, urged the President to Immediately allot from PWA funds at least one million dollars additional for roads and air fields to be expended during the fiscal year 1898. But since under the present law the Public Works Ad- ministration will expire on June 30, 1897, and the bill 10 extend the life of the .PWA for two more years has passed the House but not the Senate, nothing definite can be done about these funds at this time
 The President referred to the re-. cent allotment of S737, 900 to The AL aska Railroad of which S350 900 will be used to construct a hotel at Me Kinley Park. Reference was also made in the general discussion that followed to the special allotment of S450.000 from WPA funds male some weeks ago for construction of roads and air fields in the Territory.
 
 Two bills were considered by the House Committee on the Territories on June 15. One of these was the bill introduced by the Delegate to provide subsistence for the Eskimos and other natives of Alaska through

the purchase of all reindeer owned by others than natives and thereafter maintaining the reindeer industry as a strictly native operation under the direction of the Interior Department Delegate Dimond supported the en- actment of the bill as introduced in the House. but objected to approval of the hIll as amended in the Senate on the score that the Senate amend ments were not in harmony with the expressed desires and interests of most of the native reindeer owners The amendments are recommended by the Interior Department Carl J. LO- men of Nome, representing the white owners of large herds of deer, was present and made a statement favor ing enactment of the bill. The Hear ings were not concluded and will be resumed June p.
 The other bill taken up by the com mittee was the one to authorize the Territory to incur bonded indebted ness in any sum not Iu excess of two million dollars to undertake the con struction af number of public works, including public school build lngs, public hospitals, ar fields, roads, and buildings for the University of Alaska Former Senator Dill was present as attorney for the Pacific Coast fish packing interests, to op- pose enactment of the measure. The bill was passed over for the time in order to consider the reindeer bilL
 
 Tn conformity with his plan as out lined in a speech made on the floor of the House some days ago, Delegate Dimond introduced a bill on June r to protect the salmon fishery of Alas ka against the Japanese or other foreign nationals
 The bill follows the Antj-smuggling Act of 1895 in its plan to maintain jurisdiction of the United States over the waters adjacent to the coast of Alaska to an off-shore distance of 12 nautical miles. And in addition it would give the President the right to declare salmon fishery law-enforce- ment areas iH any of the waters ad- jacent to the Alaska coast east of the international boundary between Rus sia and Alaska where water Is less than 100 fathoms deep In any such fishery laW-enfOrcement area any yes sels found lowering, together with nets and gear, winch appear to be fishing for Alaska salmon may be seized or forfeited. The proposed law also provides that any salmon ta- ken or packed in contravention to its. provisions may be seized and forfeit ed if brought into the United States
 One section of the bill provides that if vessels of another nation are used in the taking of Alaska salmon, a claim for the value of the pack shall be made upon that nation and if payment Is not made, the United States will collect such amount by 1t from payments due that nation by the United States from any account. In the case of Ja- pan this deduction could properly be made from moneys due that na- tion under the seal treaty for salmon taken by Japanese vessels in the Der ing Sea.

 If your eye specialist says you need glasses, get them. and wear them. Study appropriate charts on lens shapes, try on various types, looking at your face and head from different angles.

 Hollywood.-Most of the fencing you see in the movies is staged, di- rocted and often performed by c 1.-the, middle-aged, middlessiged Bel gian named Frederic Cayetls. Since 1919 he has been coaching Holly. woods swashbucklers in the use oi the foil, epee, saber, napier and broadsword.
 "Decause it iS my business, there ig no kind of fencing l do not know about" said Cavens. You take the Japanese 'kendu,' for instance: ] am not a master Of that Kind oi business, but could put on c con- yincing routine"
 Oavens directed the sword work and uuarterstaff duelS In the Si. lent, Douglas Fairbanks version ot Robin Hood" In 1929. Now he's do- ing tho same thing ir the 1888 pro- ductlon starring Errol Flynn.
 Never lost
 He Is Q graduate of the Royal Mi- lltary Academy of Belgium, and Waa fencing master there for c couple oi years, Also studied under some oi the masters in Paris. Ho has fought three formal duels. These were not desperate lifo-and.deeth affairs, no explained deprecatingly, but merely were tho results of bitter arguments with other masters. Cavens never lost an argument.
 Only wound he ever received, he said, WaS once when he was trying to teach one of his advanced pupilll not to Do 70 cooky. The pupil lashed out in 6 panic and laid tho teachers check open.
 After watching some awkward sword play in the movies, Cavena figured there should be a market for his talents in Hollywood. He was right
 The senior Fairbanks, though Q fine snowman and stunt man, Waa not well grounded In tho fine pointS of fencing. John Barrymore was pretty fair in the days when he made "Don Juan" Errol Flynn iA quite good; better than Fairbanks, anyway. But Basil Rathbone-ah. there's c BwordSFian! ..,
 Preparing for "Romeo and Juliet (a picture, incidentally, for which Cavens designed all the swords and daggerS) Rathbono fenced three hours daily for weeks. And he waS no novice when he began. After. ward he became a private pupil Of M. CavenB and still is taking leS- sons.

LITTLE LESSONS IN PHYSIOLOGY
 i. RAetllatl0n

l. Regulation
 Tn c recent article in this column I said that the secret nf the vii power necessary to enable the vic. tim of the physic habit to break the habit is c knowledge of physiology elementary physiology, simple enough for any child to under. stand.
 That evoked Q postcard from c reader who says:
 "Finel But how about"-mean- Ing, of course, why not or please or may 1 suggest-"giying Us c few lessons in the elementary physiol- ogy simple enough for any child to understand2" (Mrs. M. c. O.
 In the article went on to soy that 1t b hard to teach the average layman this lesson because he knows 50 many things which ain't 50. He has been lifelong student of almanacS, testimonials and quack doctor bait, and hence he Is pretty thoroughly imbued with the idea of "autointoxication" or poisoning of the system by absorption of toxic waste from the colon." The poor fellow actually believes health, hap piness and life itself depend on tho daily use of one of another, artiflcc to "keep the bowels open." He haS this morbid fancy 50 fixed in hiG imagination that the truth scarcely makes an impression.
 I have given tho little lesson hcro a great many times, and apparently 1t has made some impression oil readers like Mrs. M. c. Q. 1 take it that if one such reader takes the trouble to ask for more erlighten- tnert there are hundreds who would like to have 1t oven though they would not bother to ask for t.
 First we assure the wiseacreD, who know 50 many things "which ain't so," that everything we say in these little lessons in physiology H au. thoritative, and any one may satisfy himself about this by consulting any authoritative textbook in the public library-for example, How ellis "rextbook of PhySiology" tsaunders) or Wright'S Applied Physiology" toxford).
 A fundamental fact to bear in mind is that only Involuntary mus. cle cofnposes tho muscular coat of the lower two-thirdS of tho esopha. gus or gullet, all of the stomach, duodenuin, jejunufn, ileuiYi. colon tlarge bowel) and rectum, except the last two or threo inches of the rectum which has some voluntary muscles. Of course involuntary muscle, whether in tho ailmentary tube, the heart or the arteries, is not under conscious control. Under oil ordinary conditions or circuins stances tho action of tho ailmen. tary muscle is regulated automatic. ally or autonomically just as is the action of the heart muscle, with. out any consideration or attention or concern about it oa the part of the individual. Here the wiSeacre layman will think of the evils he or she imagines are due to retain. cd waste matter" or to "auto.intoxi. cation" if the bowel movement is delayed or insufiicient. We'll disctiss that aspect of the question in Q later talk.

spent a few days with . friend who had married a well-to.do ano very methodical business man. Ht gave her plenty of money to run her menage, which was considerable but he demanded that a lucid ac. count be kept Of her outgoing ano incoming funds. Her mornings were spent mostly pouring over big black books, checking up and entering items down to the last nickel. Hei husband never looked at these books but he insisted that she should know where her money went, what was paid and what was unpaid.
 One day I was discussing school with this good husband, as he was not in accord with his wife In Q selection for their daughter. He wanted her to study languages par ticularly, as he had felt tho need of different tongues keenly in both business and travel.
 Preparation For Wlfehood
 SWhy don't you send Lois to Q school where she can get both busi- ness and language2" I suggested ''some day she will have this estate to manage, most likely, and even # she hasn't ell this, she will be Q better wife for someone If she knows the difference between income and outlay"
 Women do the spending mostly, end too few have any Idea of bud getting. know dozens of women who think that dollar bill is meant for Q tearoom lunch only, and get away with q small fortune e month, declaring at the end that they haven't had penny for themselves. More women should learn to put down each small expenditure, and when 1t comes to large amounts, the greater the necessity.
 Yet, in spite of all her mothers struggle with those big black books, this girl was not schooled in the prictical affairs of business. Today she is married to Q Ineticulous chap, who demands even more system in her complex management than her father ever thought of. She Is learn" ing, but it is hard going.
 How Funds Slip Away!
 Why don't our schools do two things? First of all, make typing mandatory, as well as shorthand. Both are shortcuts and great helps in this day and age of precision and hurry.
