ONWAY TO ALASKA M_ANUFACTURE OF MODERNISTIC Exfled From Ouiside World for One Year Seattle, Sept. 14 UM—Arctic exile holds me terror for 15 young, eager teachers who are on thelr way to Alaska in the staunch little U. 8. S. Boxer. They will augment and take the places of other instructors in a far flung line of education maintained by the United States bureau of edu- cation to bring knowledge to Eski- mos. For a year the teachers have no communication With the outside world, Once a year the little cutter &oes to the frozen ports near Point Barrow, taking food, supplies, books and & new batch of teacher re- crults, Coming back it returns those teachers whose terms have expired and fills its holds with commodities of the country. There are 95 government schools, enrolling between 4,000 and 5,000 students, and in spite of the hard- ships of the job there always are more applicants than places to fill, says Dr. William Hamilton, chief of the Alaskan division in Washington. It takes the Boxer six weeks to plow tts way to its destination. In the more isolated villages, where the school teacher often is the only white person for hundreds of miles, married couples are sought to take the posts. Mr, and Mrs. Ra mond L. Wolfe have completed term in one of the more inaccessible | villages, and they assert the experi- | snce has been invaluable, Men and women are about evenly @ivided n the list of 175 teachers who will open the schools this fall. “The teachers in Alaska," says | Dr. Hamilton, “are more philan- | thropists than instructors. They give their time, their encrgy and many their lives for the sake of Eskimo children.” | RAT RECOGNIZED AS SANITARY WENACE { Number of Ailments Traced Washington, Sept. 14 (P—The In- ereasing menace of the rat to health | @ being recognized by sanitary au- ! thorities throughout the United | pl. States and in all civilized, countries. || The direct connection between the ¢ rat and the spread of bubonic plugue | s well known, but a number of other aflments have been traced definitely or reasonably close to this pest and its fleas. | “Rat bite fever” 1s more or less | prevalent in certain arcas of the United Btates and foreign countries, #nd it has been suggested by investi- gators that the rodent may be re- | sponsible for several other more | ‘widespread digeases about which Pelatively little §s known. This pos- ¢ibllity aleo is being conidered in the | study of typhus fever cases where the presence of vermin has not been detected. Bince the beginning of the bu- Wonic plague epidemic at Hong Kong 1894, this disease has been dis- Ebumd through the channels of in- rnational commerce to all parts of , the world where conditions are fav- orable to the breeding of rats and fleas. In the 20-year period ending with 1923, more than 11,000,000 per- sons_died in India alone from this disease, but the number of cases in the United States has been held to & remarkably low figure. The most effective measure which ean be directed toward suppressing rats, Public Health Bervice authori- fles are convinced, is the general adoption of means to deprive them of their customary food supplies in the home, business establishment and warehouse. Bulk foods, they advise, should be kept in ratproof comtainers and every occupied residence should be equipped with a garbage can whi will keep out the rodents. Cos ation also should be given, they say, to architectural changes and modi- fications in the construction of build- ings and residences with a view to sliminating nesting places for rats. German Canaries Are to Learn An “Accent” Constantinople, Sept. 14 (P —Ger- man canaries in the future shall #ing with an “oriental accent.” Such is the determination of four @erman ornithologists who have wrrived here en route to Anatolia where they will make a scientific study of Turkish birds. Prof. Herman Passcr, leader of the party, declares that Turkish canaries are the finest in the world and that their song is unique for its “oriental accent” The visitors in- tend to study means of teaching this “accent” to native German ca- paries. Turkey could develop an im- portant source of revenue, says Professor Passer, by developing her canary stock he is already de- veloping her carrier pigcons.

For the nursery, “what is so sweet like the bawigs as that cage?” asked Michae! Angelo, pointing to a buoy-shaped cage finished in a dull ivory and green, He calls one outstanding mod- ernistic example *“The Metals,"” and in it he has caught the very essence of modernism with striking angles and exaggerated detail. However, in all his cages, Michael Angelo in- sists that the first thing is to make them suitable for the housing of birds, Colors he uses include red and black, green, blue, white, pink and yellow, alone and in combination, New Haven, Conn, Sept.
