BRINGING UH-UH! THERE'S MAGGIE STANDIN' UP F TO GIT TO KENNY'S STORE- PROMINENT N. Y. YACHTSMAN TO CRUISE ALASKA Commodore L. Waugh Is Leaving June 17 for Trip in Northern Waters One of the country’s best known | yachtsmen and a prominent resi- dent of New York City is coming to Alaska this month for of northern waters. He 'is Vice- Commodoye Leuman W. Waugh of the New York A. C. Yachting De- partment. His boat has already been shipped north and he is leav- ing June 17 for the north. Clarence E. Lovejoy writing in the New York Times of Commo- dore Waugh's trip has this to say: A sturdy, 28-foot motor cruiser, built in the Bronx on Pugsley’s Creck last winter, is going places this summer never before visited by white men and yet will stay in United States waters. At the wheel will be one of New York's bes known power yachtsmen, Vice-Com- modore Leuman M. Waugh of the New York A. C. Yachting Depart- ment. The first officer will be his son, Donald B. Waugh, a sopho- more in the Columbia University School of Dental and Oral Surgery. Far up north, keyond where the Aleutian Islands make out toward Siberia, beyond Bristol Bay, even beyond the Ahklun Mountains, up near the Bering Seaz, Commodorc Waugh is going to cruise the un- charted Ku wim River, second largest in all Alaska. He will poke his litile ship inte rivers as ye! mamed, up toward the Yukon, i ature a-plenty the tundra region Alaska, and in the swamps marshes the tide recedes in pla from five to forty miles.

It won't do for me to waste any time pulling up my fight- iny trunks, doing the Leon Errol egs act, kidding a blonde in sub-Arctic, even to Cape Chidley, the northern headland of Labrador, in order to chserve the Eskimos. In previous years he served on active summer duty as a reserve officer of the United States Public Health Service and cruised on the Coast Guard's Northland in Alas- kan waters, Dr. Waugh believes the primitive Eskimo on his native diet has the largest jaws, best teeth and least dental cares of any race. As he adopts white man’s food and mode of living there is a deterioration. When he heats “store” food instead of chewing rcugh, gritty, uncooked meals he quickly looses the ability to use his teeth on raw hide in making boots, harness, clothing, ete. That's the reason for Commo- dore Waugh's cruise this year. Craft Already Shipped He shipped his boat on the Dol- lar liner President Taft last month.
