TWOK'S ART IS EXHIBITED IN
 SEATTLE NOW
Juneau Store Has Fine Dis play of Eskimo Art
 ist's Work

Twok, Alaska Eskimo artist whose discovery by Rockwell Kent and Mrs. Oliver Weaver of Nome made news in Time Magazine a year or two ago, is having his work exhibited in Seattle at Miss Julia Caskey'S Downtown Gallery. according to the Seattle Times.
 More commonly known by his Eskimo name asTWok, George Arden Ahgupuk was born twenty-six years ago in a tiny settlement in the in- terior of Northwestern Alaska, known as Shishmaref," says the Seattle Times in it's article about the Eskimo artist. "Twok met Rock well Kent at Noorvik, a town about two hunded miles north of Nome.
 "Twok is absolutely self taught. Having had an accident in his early teens which left him cripple and, with the responsibility of support ing his mother and two brothers, Twok turned to drawing. With no canvas available he perfected process of using reindeer and seal skin.
 TiUok Explains Work
 Tn letter to MT. Whitney of Yakutat, Alaska, Twok says: My work is all done on reindeer hide. The deer being killed, buy the hide from the owner, who has taken the skin off the carcass and cleaned it of meat, fat and blood Then for me and my mother, three months of almost daily handling are required to work the hair off and prepare the skin that it will ink and color-I also do this work in oils.
 Many parts of the hide are at times spoiled as sometimes the hide is shipped too thin and, while bleaching by the sun and air, some portions are burned so there is much loss I work six months in finishing the large whole skin and the half skin has been worked dur ing the same time. All my work that is shown is the actual life of the Alaska Eskimo. I enjoy doing 1t and hope it will give others some idea of what it takes to live as an Eskimo in Alaska, our native home
 Rockwell Kent describes Twoks work as unique" not only in that he is probably the only professional artist of the Far North, but in that his limited range of experience and physical handicaps have made him a ranking artist, epic in his sense of perception and remarkable in his Craftsmanship.
 Tn the relation there might be in this work to primitive art, MT. Kent says:
 '"The question of it's being primi- tive is irrelevant There is no exact primitive man or art today, after all. We're all potentially the same, and it is only question of oppor- tunity If there is another Eskimo who can draw half as well, I don't know of his existence. On more specific ground, I would cite for their special excellence his perspec- tive, his action, his strong sense of both the pictorial and dramatic inn pact, and, above all, the values in his comprehensive epic of Eskimo life,"
 The Nugget Shop, which has the exclusive agency for Twok's work in Southeastern Alaska, now has the largest display of his interesting drawings that has ever been shown in Juneau.

F1orit was a mighty orator, and the
people Of Salamanca nodded their
heads in agreement, and their blood
was fired with the spirit of patriotism.
Medina. small, independent and de-
fenseless, located to the south Of them,
rich in natural resources. peace
loving, was the first logical victim
Medina should have been theirs by
rights long ago. Medina hated its
northern neighbors. They were
treacherous and sly and false in their
alleged friendlineSs.
Thus ran the propaganda. All the
world heard and all the world, save
citizens of Salamanca, believed that
the assault was unjustified. Other
nations sympathized with helpless lit
tie Medina and cursed Dictator Florit,
but they made no attempt to inter-
fere. 1t was bad business interfering
with other peoples wars these days.
Little, however, did the world know
of the loyalty and devotion that dwelt
in the hearts of the people of this
little independent nation. Medina
loved her freedom. She would not
have it taken from her without a
fight. She knew she was in the right
Somehow, some way. she would resist
the onslaught OF Florit's merciless
armies.
When five important cities fell be-
meath the power Of the advancing
Salamancians the spirit and will to
maintain freedom was stronger still
in the hearts Of the retreating Medina
soldiers.
IN THE second month of the invasion
Rico Florit himself led his tri-
umphant armies over the Conde
Mountain range and down the south
ern slopes into the valley of the
Ortegna, where Gen. Felipe Zobel,
commander in chief Of the Medina
Army, was massing his forces in the
capital city for last defense Look
Ing up toward the green-clad noun
tains that he loved, Gen. Zobel saw the
hordes of the invading army crawling
slowly over the pass like a venomous
reptile. He saw the fash of sunlight
on guns and bayonets; heard dimly
the rumble of tanks and heavy artil-
lery pieces.
He saw and heard and his heart was
heavy. The end was but a few hours
away. This final stand of his own
forces was mockery His men were
poorly equipped, poorly trained. They
were not fighters. They were peace
lovers. They had nothing but fierce
bitterness and hatred and resentment
toward the man. who sought to rob
them OF their heritage.

LAW
STUDIED IN CRISIS
Application to a Possible
Czech Civil War Is
Considered.
By the Associated Press.

0S lue ASOUClatc0 fteeo.
Some Washington analysts are won.
dertng whether the onrush of Euro
pean events will turn Czechoslovakia
into another Spain.
That, they say. Is definite posi-
bility. and one that may depend on
decisions to be reached within the
next few days. The realization has
set them to studying the American
Neutrality Act to see how it might
be applied to such q situation.
The development Of the Spanish
parallel rests. the argument runs, on
two IFS" and Adolf Hitler's choice
OF the method to be used In obtaining
Sudeten Czechoslovakia.
The "ifs" are:
II the Czechs decide they will fiRht.
rather than surrender 4 portion Of
their territory to Germany, rs pro-
posed by Britain and France.
II Great Britain and France then
refuse to give military assistance to
Czechoslovakia.
Given these developments. it is
thought that the next step would be
renewal Of the Sudeten civil war
which was crushed under the weight
OF martial law last week. This time
however. Hitler would be actively be.
hind it. with men, planes and runs
but. following the modern technique
without declaration Of war on Czech

In Spain. the insurgents have had
the active support OF both GERMANY
and Italy. The two Fascist powers
have sent not only munitions to their
assistance. but volunteer" troons A..
we'll. Soviet Russia, on the other hand
has helped the government forces
extensively.
In the dilemma created bv thu
British-French proposal, the czech,
already are reported to have appealed
TO Russia for assistance. How much
help she would lend in such a civil
war remains q question. Russia is
beleaguered on the east by Germanys

be taken into consideration.
