INDIAN UTOPIA
CARVED ON U. S.
ISLE OFF ALASKA

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. Is
(UP)-The little American owned
sland of Annette, just off the
coast of British Columbia, is be-
coming an economic Utopia, &C
cording to Roderick Davis, the
stands Ambassador at-large."
All the inhabitants are Indians
and Davis himself is an Indian. He
vas former mayor Of Metlakatla,
the only town on the island. In
his present capacity as "ambassa-
dor-at-large" he has been to Wash
ington to see that the inhabitants
of the island got the best kind OF
deal in the establishment OF
an iSland-community fish cannery
and his trip to San Francisco was
to obtain better radio facilities for
his constituents.
Everybody on our island has a
job" Davis declared. ave pay no
taxes, lighting and cooking faclll-
ties are free, there are no such
problems as unemployment, high
cost of living or security OF other
aspects of the white mans bur
den.
Furthermore, we have solved
the problem of the best kind Of an
economic regime, which is that Of
Self-gOvcrnment based on munlcl-
pal ownership Of the things that
provide the necessities of civil
lied life.
1--WE live off the fat of the
land" Davis continued enthusiast
tically,' although admitting. IN the
next breath that the "fat" consists
in this case of being the fish Of

shows signs Of rotting and the at
traction to tclmitos is lcsscncd.
Virgin wood provides carbohy-
dratcs or fuel to run the termite
machine, but not the pr0tclnS
necessary for growth
PROTOCOL VITAL TO LIFE
She found that within the dl-
gcstive tract Of al tcrmiteS are
q number of prOtoZoa. What part
the protocol plays in the life OF
termitcs is not known, except that
the insects cannot live without
them. Miss Hcndee believes that
the microscopic animals extract
from wood some of its food values
and convert them into sugars for
their parent insects. The termltc
itself eats the wood but does not
digest it.
"In an age in which an ever
increasing use Of wood is being
made by building industries, diet
ary studies Of wood-boiing ter
mites are valuable for prevention
measures" she said. "ln nature
they depend upon fallen trees for
their food supply. Man immensely
increases the amount available,
improves its quality, distributes it
along highways and accumulates
it in cities. Consequently, civil
cation, Wit hits charging use OF
cellulose, tends to increase the
food available for the termite.

Island fishes, he explained, and the
fish are taken to the Indian-oWned
canncry.
"Om municipality owned can
nery," Davis said, shows net
profit of more than 100000 a
wear. The canncry Is leased on a
five-year contract to white men on
n $3.50 basis. The surplus cash
from the entire enterprise Is
banked with the United States
government and pays A per cent
interest. y
Davis explained that the center
of life on the island Of Annette IS
in the town Of Metlakatla, which
was founded by Indians Of the
Thimishian tribe of Canada. Some
50 years ago they had become dis
satisfied with the Canadian adj
ministration and moved over to
the American island Of Annette,
which is part Of Alaska.
Under the administration OF
Alaska. including Annette, the
United States decided that only
Indians should be allowed to oc-
cupy the island. Since then they
have lived there blssfully and
built up their own little economic
system for making the island a
vcritable Utopia for themselves,
The white partnership in the
cannery, which is the heart of the
economic system Of the island, IS
decided upon by the government
and Indians together.

OUTLOOK BRIGHT
FOR PIANO FIRMS
Industry Completes Best Year in,
Decade-Rise Expected
to Hold.
By the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press
CHICAGO, Jan. 22.-Havinp inst
concluded its best year in a decade
the piano industry faces 1888 with
prospects of continued brisk demand,
l.. P. Bull. president of the National
Piano Manufacturers Association, said
today.
The continued demand for pianos,
IN the face of unfavorable business
conditions has been so steady that I
expect 1t to carry through l938.' Bull
said. THE piano business reflects
the growing national interest in
music"
Production of pianos in the United
States during 1887 totaled 1Os,OO9
units. an increase of II per cent COM
pared with 1896, according to Bull.
Piano manufacturing finished the
year in much stronger position than
industry as whole" Bull said. After
nine record-breaking months produc-
ton slowed down in October and No.
vember to the 1886 level, and dipped
slightly in December. For the first
time since 1929 shipments passed the
100000 mark
Recovery OF the piano industry is
shown in the following annual pro-
duction figures: 1882, 27.274: 1888,
34,303: 1884, 47,ls3; 1895, 65,os6;

TIRE CHIEF Halls
BROADER MARKET
Robertson of Goodrich Co.
Expects Upturn in Re-
placements.

NEW YORK, Jan. 22.-With auto
registration at new all-time high
OF 29,650,000 units on January /, the
market for replacement tire sales has
been broadened considerably in the
past year, S. B. Robertson, president
OF the B. F. Goodrich Co., declared in
. statement here.
Approximately 29,l00OOO renewal
caslngs were sold in 1887, or about
LOB for each of the 28.221 ,29l cars
ana trucks registered January l, 1887,
and similar ratio in 1898 would
mean sales of about 3O,6OO,O00 re-
placement tires in the current year,
Robertson said. or an increase of
100000 castings.
Naturally. the present business re-
cesslon may impair consumer pur-
chasing power and throw this estimate
out OF line However. the experience
OF the past depression indicates that
many unemployed continue to op-
crate automobiles and hence bought
tires. 1t is significant that in 1888
about 80 per cent of the families
with no incomes at all owned auto
mobiles. according to a survey bv
the Automobile Manufacturers Asso-
ciation
Should the possibilities for an I'M
turn in replacement tire sales ma
teriallze in 1898, it will be very helpful
to tire manufacturers because renewal
sales account for roughly 60 per cent
OF total tire business. and therefore
constitute the most important single
factor in the industry's activities"
ROBERTSON said that the long term
trend OF replacement tire sales has
heen showing some stability since the
beginning of 1886. after seven-year
decline from the 52,5ooOOo mark es-
tablished in 1923.
'Paradoxically, this drop in replace
ment tire volume was partly brought
about by rubber manufacturers them
selves in their competitive efforts to
provide the American public with the
pest possible tire for the least money! ,
he continued.
Better tire cord fabric. greater
rubber content of tires, improved
tread designs. have all contributed
TO the heightened life of the modern
tire" he said
