Middle Atlantic Area
Scores Huge Coins
Over Year Ago
By EDWARD C. STONE.

The money spent for residential
building in the Middle Atlantic
States so far this year has reached
the level which was recorded during
November, 1888, according to j. T.
Little, the district manager OF
Dodge Reports in Philadelphia. The
contracts awarded during each OF
the eight months established sub
stantial margins over the same
months of last year. Significantly,
great activity has taken place IN
the one-family field.
The Dodge Reports summary re-
veals a current residential contract
total of $124, 900 for Southern
New Jersey, Eastern Pennsylvania,
Delaware, Maryland, the District OF
Columbia and Virginia. This in
ciudes a margin of more than $42,-
100000 over the eight-month total
of last year, $82 ,O85 900.
In a grouping of all types OF
building and heavy engineering con-
struction the survey shows that the
Middle Atlantic States have passed
the $3OO,000,O00 mark. The eight
month level was $31l ,637 900.

hard at the opening. dropping more

| 80 Students Hurt
In Cairo Strike
lon Shaw Play
By the Associated Press.


CAIRO, March 23.-Thirty UNDER
graduates were injured today in an
outbreak among Egyptian University
students over whether to study
George Bernard Shaw's play Saint
joan"
Students in the arts department
had complained about studying the
play, which they insisted contained
passages insulting to Mohammed
and Islam. Authorities argued that
Shaw was not expressing his own
opinions, sbut those of the medieval
Catholic Church.
Students refused to continue study
OF the play and went on strike until
the university rector promised to-
take the matter up with Egypt's
premier for a solution satisfying
to Moslem sentiment"
The dean of the arts department
and his assistant then resigned on
the grounds of outside influence in
university affairs.
Today students attacked the arts
faculty building and hurled stones
at an opposing faction of students,
while police, not allowed to enter
university precincts, looked on.

he was flying at $1,000 feet in a new
$275.OO0 pursuit ship, designed for
the United States Army. Sinclair
said he fought the flames as the
plane plummeted 10000 feet toward
earth, and then, seeing his efforts
were futile, bailed out.
The plane, designed for possible
purchase by the Air Corps, was de-
molished near Wright Field yester-
day.

lower never would have gotten out

gasoline entered the cabin and fire
broke out at $4,000, the pilot said.

by the Air Corps.
Sinclair was making notes of the
ships performance when the craft
started to fall. The pilot was burned
about the head and arms and was
suffering from shock after he "bailed
out" in parachute to safety.

USE OF MONEY
RAISED FOR T.B.

This year the Alaska tuberculosis
Association is conducting its sixth
annual Christmas Seal Sale to raise
funds for the campaign against tn
berculosis. Local committees are now
engaged in preparing the thousands
of seals for mailing Each year the
response from the people of Alaska
to this appeal for assistance against
tuberculosis has been greater than
the year before, and each year the
Association has been able to widen
its field of attack upon this disease.
tuberculosis is the leading health
problem in Alaska 1t was the pri-
mary cause of death during the year
just past. There were 215 reported
deaths from tuberculosis during this
period, nor does this figure include
those residents of the Territory
whose deaths occurred in the States
and were not re-allocated to Alaska
Speaking on the subject of Christ
mas Seal Sale funds and their ex-
penditure, Harry G. Watson, Presi-
dent of the Association, said.
I'VE are often asked why we do
not spend the money which we raise
for the actual treatment of sufferers
from this disease. Although the res
ponse per capita to the seal sale in
Alaska, compared with other sec
tions of the country, is very gener-
Gus, the amount raised is eomparat-
lively small, $1,000 last year. It
costs about $1,000 a year to keep a
tuberculosis patient in a sanatorium
SO we feel that we can do far more
good by spending these funds for
early diagnosis and for preventative
measures. Each year the major por-
tion of the money raised has been
contributed to the Tuberculin Test
ing and Early Case Finding Clinics.
Since their beginning these clinics
have given over 1000 tubereulin
tests and have taken over 5000 lung
and bone x-rays. The Christmas Seal
Sale funds purchased the portable
X-ray machine which make the
Clinics possible and further sums
have been spent for the purchase of
x-ray film and other accessories. The
Association has purchased and dis
tributed thousands of pamphlets on
various phases of tuberculosis and
has acquired a number of motion
picture films on this subject which
have been exhibited In over 70 To-
calities in the Territory.
I'VE believe that the examin-
atoms and diagnosis here have been
a great help to the people of Alaska
and that the people of Alaska ap-
preciate the results obtained and
will continue to support our Seal
Sale Campaign"

RARE SEA ELEPHANT
FOUND ON BEACH AT
KASAAN, WALES ISLAND

A sea elephant or elephant seal,
a strange and rare form of sea life,
was recently washed ashore on the
beach at Kasaan on Prince of Wales
Island, Tongass National Forest
where, on November 6, 1899, 1t was
viewed by forest officers from the
launch Forester, according to a
report from Forest Service head
quarters at Juneau.
The only known herd of these
animals is now found on Guadalupe
Island off the coast of Mexico. APP
parently it has never before been
recorded north of California. Point
Reyes and Point Iona are both list
ed as localities where 1t was former
ly known. In 1899 one was killed
on the high seas about forty miles
off Point Iona, San Diego, Cali
fornia.
The elephant seal is the largest
member of the seal family, the males
attaining a length of % feet and a
weight approaching three tons. The
common name is derived from the
curious flexible snout of the males,
which, when relaxed hangs 6 to- 10
inches below the muzzle. The speci-
men found at Kasaan is reported to
have been shot in Kasaan Bay sew
