the lovely tropical islands and the
waters surrounding them. The
water colors are nearly all land

natives, ETC., while in technique
they run from pale and subtle
color notes to rich tropical tones.

INDIAN OFFICE OFFICIAL IS INVESTIGATING USE OF
 LIQUOR AMONG NATIVES

William Zimmerman, the high est official of the office of Indian Affairs who ever visited Alaska, is travelling over the Territory on a tour of inspection, accompanied by Claude M Hirst, general sup erintendent and director of edu- cation for the Indian service in Alaska, according recent issue of the Fairbanks News-Miner.
 MT. Zimmerman is assistant commissioner, the right-hand man of Commissioner John Col lisr, Washington, D. C.
 In part, MT. Zimmermans mis- sion is to investigate the traffic in and use of liquor among the Indians and Eskimos in Alaska this investigation at the instiga- tion of Secretary of Interior Ick- es who visited the Interior of AL aska this summer.
 "Deplorable" is the adjective used by Secretary Iskes in des- cribing liquor conditions among the natives.
 MT. Zimmerman said his pur- pose is to gather information for guidance in policy in the admin istration of Indian Affairs.
 Under the direction of MT. Hirst, the Indian service employs ap- proximately $50 persons in Alas ka. The office has 100 schools, 2 hospitals, 3 dispensaries, head quarters staff, and people in the reindeer service.
 To help fit the younger genera tion of natives to present day living conditions in Alaska, the Indian service has l67 full-time teachers and 70 special assistants or part-tlme instructors. To at tend to the medical needs of the natives, there are 75 nurses, both staff and field, and physicians.
 The first problem of the Indian service teacher in a community, MT. Hirst said, is to interpret the needs of that particular oommun ity. Then the teachers job is to help the members of the com munity learn to use the tools and resources they have at hand. Thereby the people can adapt themselves to existing conditions and their education will help them to live more independent and healthier life.
 Two $l00,000 hospitals are un- der construction by the Office of Indian Affairs, one at Barrow and the other at Bethel. The work at Barrow is under the di- rection of Charles D. Brewer. veteran trader in the Arctic!Both the Bethel and the Barrow hos pitals are to be completed next year. Filing and foundation of the Bethel construction were done this season.
 Messrs Zimmerman and Hirst visited Fort Yukon via plane re- gently. They will go down the Kuskohwim and into the Lower Yukon, then to Nome, and Kot- zebue, and Barrow. After re- turning from the Arctic they will travel in southeastern Alaska. MT. Zimmerman said that he plans to leave Alaska October 1.
