Norwegian Fur peIf Brings
 Amazing Price

A few days ago in New York new thing in fur hit that tickle market Norwegian silver fox, predomin- antly silver, lovely soft black-ridged beauties known to the fur trade as Platinas-and the prize skin of the small lot of 400 brought the amazing sum of $11,00O, according to the Fur Trade Review.
 I. J. Fox, famous Fifth Avenue furrier bought the prize pelt in af- ter a spirited bidding battle with other furriers on the crowded New York exchange.
 Although there are but few of the Norwegian developed silvers on the market, Juneau will see at least a few, according to furrier Charles Goldstein.
 Goldstein said he did not know when the new furs will arrive or what they will cost, either to the public or to him, but the average price on the New York exchange was over $500.
 The "Platinas" were developed in Norway after years of trying cross breeding of natural selected silvers.

Eskimo Village, which was part of the Childrens World, down in the amusement area. And if you hab- itually read the small items buried inside your newspaper, you'll re- member that the family of six Es- kimos which was the feature of the Eskimo Village recently got evicted from the Carrier igloo, the air-con- ditioning exhibit, where, by a mas ter stroke of press -agentry, they had been installed for the winter. The Board of Health, however, stuck to it's ruling that nobody could live on the Fair grounds, so the Es- kimos' manager, David Irwin, fixed it up for them to live on Captain Mack's Wild Animal Farm, nine miles out of Paterson. New Jersey. Captain Mack trains wild animals for circus and vaudeville acts, and he can take six Eskimos right in his stride. Irwin you may remember as the young man who. in 1885, created something of a sensation in arctic exploration circles by making a two thousand mile solo trek from Nome. Alaska, to Churchill. on Hudson Bay. As soon as he heard there was to be Worlds Fair, he wired friend in Alaska to ship him, collect, a typical and dependable" Eskimo family. The friend found nice family in Wales, a tiny Eskimo community on Cape Prince of Wales, and sent them along by dog sled from Wales to

Mayokok Discusses Theory in AnfhropoIogy-But

Back in cosmopolitan New York 9 real live Eskimo" creates probably as much interest as would an ele- phant on the loose in the streets of Juneau, according to New Yorker, which gives us the first indication in some time of what has happened to the Cape Prince of Wales Eskimo family which last year journeyed from Alaska to the New York ex- position under a promoters salary.
 The New Workers story follows. but we suggest perhaps Promoter David Irwin would not have liked it had the New Yorker writer re- vealed the Eskimo Mayokoks knew nothing Of the time honored and much storied igloo.
 Here's the story.

Nome, by plane from Nome to Ju- neau, by boat from Juneau to Seat tie, and by train from Seattle to Flushing. Take MT. Irwin word for it, they're the first full-blooded Els kimo family to come to the United States since 1904, when a similar family came down to appear at the St. Louis Exposition.
 Amiably complying with our wish to interview these Eskimos, Irwin drove us to Paterson one frosty day last week. On the way out he told us that he is paying them a salary of $125 month, and spending as much again for their rooms and board at the farm.
 However, they're going to contrib ute something toward their keep this winter by appearing at Grand Gen. tral Palace during the week of the Sportmen's Show When we were introduced to the family, we were struck with their resemblance to Chinese, their only difference being wider mouths Their manner is one of profound restfulness, verging on boredom The father of the family is named Mayokok; he is thirty-six, and learned to speak English in the government school at Nome. He and Seelook, his wife, are Presbyterians and were married in the Presbyter- ian Church at Nome eight years ago They have four children, named Weokona, Ongoona, Tumaysuk, and Argutuk. Tumaysuk means "Leav- ing no tracks" and Argutuk means, appropriately, "A small can of seal oil" The other names are just names, like James or Mary
 ''Is the Eskimo race of Oriental origin?" we asked Mayokok, and he said, after deep thought, T find it hard to credit the theory that the Eskimo is Oriental in origin" Our next question was how he liked Am erica, to which (so help us) he re- piled Its nice place to visit, but I wouldn't live here for anything. 'sId rather go home" Seelook chim- ed in Mayokok smokes Camels, we noticed, and the entire family chews Wrigley's Doublemint Gum. We nat urally got talking about Eskimo diet, and learned from Mayokok that Es- kimos don't especially like blubber and gum drops They eat them, but they don't dote on them. They have been eating beef during their stay here, and have learned to like orange juice
 They have not, however, learned to like thunder or talkies, and they miss the northern lights. They oc- cupy their time making sealskin shoes and carving animals out of walrus tusks, to sell during the Fair. Occasionally they all sing Eskimo songs, to the accompaniment of tom tom made from a walrus's stom- ach. What are your songs likeg we asked "Epics telling of the ex- ploits of heroic Eskimos?" Well, not exactly" Mayokok said. What would be typical subject of an Es- kimo song?" we said, relentlessly. We'll said Mayokok. making fun of your cousins Mayokok's gen. eration, incidentally. is the first in his family to practice monogarny. His stepbrother's father, for in stance, one Angabugok, had five wives and thirty one children. Great stuff. but. as Mayokok pointed out, it doesn't do for a Presbyterian.
