There are various contradictory tales concerning the bridal veil and its origin. Some writers believe that the veil originated in the covering of the bride in-ancient times to show her submttasion. Others claim that the exact opposite is true— that the veil was originally an em- blem of freedom and that it suc ceeded the custom of wearing the hair flying free at the marriage ceremony. It is also possible that the custom of the bridal veil or- {oinated with the Hebrews, At He- brew weddings it is customary to erect a square vestment with pend ants about it over the heads of the bride and groom.

It is on the Arctic Ocean in the north- western part of Alaska and com- prises all told 35,000 square miles Each time a party goes in from the geological survey it sets its feet upon land never before ex- plored by white men, Fitzgerald's party traveled on the Alaska railroad as far as Nenana, then struck up thru the snow 700 miles toward Kotzebue, traveling by dog teams, His re- port, now received, says they made this trip in 27 days. They weren't able to ride on the sleds much of the time, becaust for one thing the sleds were loaded with supplies, Besides they had to tramp ahead of the dogs on snowshoes to break the trail. Hence you can figure that the party tramped most of that 700 miles at a rate of about 25 miles a day. Kotzebue has a large white popu- lation, consisting of one trader, one missionairy, one school teacher, and perhaps 20 others whose occtipations are not ao .How ‘Off-Color’ Teeth easily defined, The settlement is at the mouth of the Noatak river, which Fitzgera was to follow for 150 or 200 miles until they found a pass across Brooks Range. Bince the letter was mailed from Kotzebue in February, it is figured that the Fitzgerald party got well up into the moun- tains by the middle of May. An- other letter will not be received for months, for the party is now completely out of communication with natives or white men. Others in the party are W. R. Smith, geologist, graduate of Johns Hopkins; W. R. Blanken- ship, an experienced man who ac- companied the survey party of 1924; F. E.
