TRAGED TO EXPLORERS Not More Than Dozen of Them in Victoria Land, Says J. R. Crawford. Atavism explains the discovery of “blond Eskimos” In Victorla Land in the arctic, reported by Vilhjalmar 8tefansson, in the opinion of James R. Orawford, a member of the second Stefansson expedition, who has come out of the north for the first time in 15 years. The blond natives are “throw-backs” of early white explorers, Crawford be- lleves. He expressed surprise that the existence of an entire tribe of blonds was generally belleved. He was with Stefansson when the blonds were dis- covered. “In Victorla Land,” Crawford said, “there are probably three tribes or vil- lages, comprising several hundred na- tives, In which these light Eskimos are found. But there are fewer than & dosen of the blonds, so far as we were able to learn, In the entire land. They had gray eyes, light eyebrows, reddish brown halr, and their skins are slight- 1y lighter than that of their brothers, although not noticeably so. “The natives made it known that they had never seen white men before, and probably they had not,” Crawford said. “But their ancestors did see white men, probably looking for a new land, who never lived to get.back to civilization. “There was one little girl who pos- sessed the most pronounced markings of blondness, the daughter of two dusky natives whose halr was black and who had black, beady eyes. The parents knew of no reason for the red- dish halr and gray eyes of their off- spring.” Crawford, who was married shortly after he had returned to civilization on the steam whaler Herman, which had picked him up on a floe near Vic- toria Land, intends to take his bride ‘morth with him when the ice breaks in the spring. BOY IS GREAT HUNTER Fifteen-Year-Old Oregon Youth Holde Record of State. Blenn A. Brooks, fifteen-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. G. A. Brooks of Swiss Home, in the Sluslaw country, in Oregon, claims to be champlon bear hunter for his age in that part of the country. His record so far has, per- haps, not been equaled in any part of the state by any lad as young as he. On August 12 of this year Blenn killed a big bear with one shot, bring- ing it out of a tree where It was feed- ing on berried and on September 12 he killed another in a neighbor's or- chard, bringing it down out of a frult tree with two shots. But the most exciting encounter he has yet had was on November 26, when he and his two older brothers were out hunting in the mountains not far from home. While going through a big patch of fern the boy saw tracks of a bear leading to hollow tree. \When he and his dog neared the tree Bruln came out and with c¢ne slap of its puw sgnt the dog whirling into the air and then climbed a tree. ‘The hoy bunter knocked it out with one shot, whoreupon the bear showed fight. Blenn coolly pumped two more dosés of lead into the advancing benst and finished it. BUYS SAFE FOR SUGAR Pennsylvania Man Takes Drastic Steps to Save 3upply. At last the inevitable has happened.

Barbers Are Quick to Agree With London Doctors. Are mustaches dangerous? London doctors say so. Philadelphia physicians are skeptical, but barbers are quick to agree that mustaches are perilous. Warfare against them began when a patient in a London hospitul was found to have twenty-five hairs, said to have come from his mustache, in a clump in his appendix. Dr. Howard S. Anders chuckled when he read the report from London. “I've worn a mustache since I went to Penn,” he sald, “and when I had my appendix removed I do not remem- ber that any part of my mustache was found in It “Rainbow” Sugar Wholesome Product “Rainbow” sugar is harmless and not inferior to other brands, and the prac- tice of the refiners does not violate the law so long as no attempt at con- cealment 1s attempted, according to a report of the department of agricul- ture.
