CARROLLTON CHRONICLE
ESKIMOS ADOPTING
WAYS OF WHITE MAN
Derby Winners in the Making
Tribes of the North Turn to
Trapping and Trading.
Washington.—The Eskimo, accord-
ing to dispatches from the Far North,
is slowly changing. Each year more
and more of these remote guardians of
the lust frontier are adopting white
mini's • ways.
In Alaska and western Canada many
Eskimos have broken away from hunt-
ing and fishing to meet personal food
and clothing wants and have become
trappers and traders. In Greenland
and northern Labrador the Eskimo
has clustered around the mission sta-
tions, adopting the white uran's style
of house, rather than sod huts. Igloos
and skin tents, and bartering skins for
the white man’s canned foods, fire-
arms, clothing and phonographs.
“The Eskimos were the first people
met by Europeans on American shores,
bul they are still among the least
known, and certainly the least seen,
©f nil native American tribes," says a
bulletin from the National Geographic
society. “Scandinavians came in con-
tact with Eskimos in Greenland and in
Labrador in the Tenth and Eleventh
centuries. Since that time the Eski-
mos' main contacts with the white man
have been through explorers, mission-
aries, police officers, and occasional
trappers and prospectors.
“The name Eskimo is said to have
been given by Biard in 1011 (in the
form “Excomminquois’). It means
‘eaters of raw fish.’
“Considering their limited numbers,
the Eskimos cover a tremendous range.
The total Eskimo population of the
world has been estimated at only 35,-
000, but Eskimo villages can lie found
bore and there throughout the coasts
of Arctic America from eastern Green-
land and northern Labrador to the
westernmost parts of Alaska, and
even on the tip of Asia across the Ber-
ing strait.
“Throughout this distance, more
than 5,000 miles, the Eskimo speaks
one language, a strange tongue which
requires a vocabulary of 10,000 words.
As in Chinese, inflection is very Im-
portant. Few outsiders learu it, al-
though a ‘pidgin English' lias sprung
up which some explorers and mission-
aries mistake for the Eskimo language.
High Medal Man
1 Col. Gordan Johnston is the only
man to hold the four highest awards
•f the United Slates army. He holds
the Congressional medal of honor, the
distinguished service medal, the dis-
tinguished service cross and the dec-
oration of the purple heart.
“Nearly all Eskimos live on or near
the coast because they get most of
their food from the sea. They raise
no vegetables, supplementing their
meat diet in summer with wild ber-
ries and roots. In summer they hunt
land animals and birds, as a rule, and
in the winter they live on* sen mam-
mals and fish.
‘Where least affected by the white
man's civilization—along the Arctic
coast of Canada and in the islands
north of Hudson bay—tlie Eskimo Is
perhaps the healthiest and happiest
person on earth. The village is the
largest social unit. There are no
chiefs or rulers. Leading men’ have
influence hut no authority. Large an-
imals caught are shared with others,
and personal property Is secure, for
one tribe never makes war against
another. Along many of the inlets of
the NortInvest territories in Canada
the Eskimo still hunts with bows and
arrows, and harpoons, in little skin
boats, or kayaks.
“While snow houses, *>r igloos, are
always associated with Eskimos, about
half the Eskimo world does not know
them at all. Igloos are almost never
used in Labrador or in Alaska. Where
the white man’s frame house is not
obtainable the native Eskimo lives in
n dugout covered with sod, the roof be-
ing supported by poles or animal
bones. In the summer the skin ten*,
or tuple, is used, particularly 'while on
hunting forays.
“The Igloo, perhaps the most un-
usual of all dwellings, is made of
blocks of snow, with a clear piece of
ice for a window. Beds and benciies
are of ice, with warm furs on top. A
shallow pan made of stone or iron,
shaped somewhat like a dustpan, Is
used for a lamp or stove. Along the
flat side is a dry moss for a wick. In-
side the pan is seal oil. The cooking
kettle is suspended above the pan.
Iron kettles and pans are of recent
use, and are acquired from the white
man, because the Eskimo has no iron,
and very little wood.
“In Greenland and Labrador Eskl-

brqds, photographed with a Gainsborough-Etona foal, the latest arrival at her
father's blooded stock farm at Witham, Essex, England.
mos have known white men for nearly
900 years, hut there are still, in some
parts of the Arctic, Eskimos who have
seen only an occasional explorer.
White men’s diseases have killed more
than two-thirds of all Eskimos since
the first contacts with them, but the
population is now about stationary.
“Except in Alaska, Eskimos do not
live along regular steamship or tour-
ist routes. The Eskimo seldom can be
induced to leave his northlund, and
the few who have been lured away
have returned as quickly as possible."

THE WOMAN HE
MARRIES
By THOMAS ARKLE CLARK g
Emeritus Dean of Men,
University of Illinois.
Oirton was talking to me about
what he would do when he got out of
college. He is a
little uncertaic
about his future.
It is not that he
has done his work
i n differently.
Quite the con-
trary. He has had
a really distin-
guished record as a
student, and shows
ability in whatever
he has undertaken
to do. He has
thought some of
teaching, and if he
should choose that
profession he realizes that It will be
quite necessary for him to go further
in his education than a mere bachelor's
degree. He has more than ordinary
opportunities for entering business,
and has given no little thought to doing
that.
"You know I came from the farm,"
he said as we were talking, “and
though l have done no specialization
In agriculture I have a real Interest
in farming and a real desire to go
hack to the country. I like farm life.
I enjoy the country and animals, and
the open air. I know that there is
no chance for a farmer to make a
fortune, hut farming is a healthy,
honorable occupation and I often
reach the conclusion that it is the life
for me."
I have felt the same way, myself,
so often that I could quite appreciate
his point of view. There is much in
farm life that I enjoy, and I know
well the hard side of farming.
“I suppose I’m young to think about
these things," he went on, “but I real-
ize that what I go into and the suc-
cess I make of it will depend very
largely on the sort of woman I marry.
You couldn’t take every woman to the
farm and make her happy or have her
make you happy. There must be co-
operation and sympathy between a
farmer and his wife."
The woman a man marries does
make a tremendous difference In what
the man accomplishes.
Men everywhere are made or lost
through the women they marry.

ANCIENTS MADE TEETH
BRUSHING SOLEMN RITE
Indo-Europeans of 1700 B. C.,
Did a Thorough Job.
Chicago.—There is nothing modern
about brushing of teeth, for the an-
cient Indo-Europeans of 1700 B. C.
made a rite of this particular hy-
gienic act, members of the American
Oriental society, meeting at the Ori-
ental institute of the University of
Chicago were told. According to Dr.
George V. Bobrinskoy, assistant pro-
fessor of Sanskrit at the university,
the early Indians had no tooth paste,
but they did a thorough Job never-
theless.
For a toothbrush, the Indo-European
user a twig taken from h living tree,
a species of fig tree being recommend-
ed for the purpose. It was imperative
that the bark remain on the twig.
Another method was to chew twigs or
sticks of certain varieties of trees.
The “toothbrush" could be used but
once, and then must be disposed of
by leaving it in a clean place.
There was a long list of days when
the rite must either be omitted or
performed in a different manner, and
in such cases the cleansing of the
mouth by rinsing with twelve mouth-
fuls of water was substituted. The
time of the rite was also prescribed,
the teeth being cleaned Just before
the bath.
The size of the stick was rigidly
specified, one authority giving the
proper length as twelve angolas long,
an angulft being slightly less than
un Inch. Other authorities, however,
specified various lengths for the va-
rious castes, the brahmanus using the
longest, of ten ungulas.
Various prayers were addressed to
the cleaning stick both before and
after its use, and Professor Bobrins-
koy translated one for the assembled
Orientialists, as being: “Oh, Lord of
the Forest, grant us long life, strength,
glory, progeny, cattle, riches, and
knowledge."
The dantadhavana is mentioned in
early Buddhist literature, the words
“toothpick," and “toothcleaner" ap-
pearing frequently. Professor Bob-
rinskoy cited a passage which read:
“There are five evils, O monks, re-
sulting from the omission of the chew-
ing of the tooth stick. Which five?
It is detrimental to the eyesight; the
mouth becomes evil smelling; the
taste-conducting nerves of the tongue
are not cleansed; bile, phlegm and
food cover the tongue over, and one’i
meal does not please one.”

Joe was particularly fond of a va-
riety of chocolate cookies which
came all weighed out for the con-
venience of the purchaser in a heavy
waxed-paper bag. Mother had been
ohligCd to limit ids gustatory activi-

he no limit to his capacity. The oth-
er day when she heard tile rustling
of waxed paper in the pantry she
called out:
“Stay out of those cookies, mis-

In came Joe, with his face fres-
coed with chocolate crumbs, and re-
marked ruefully:
“Why don't they put those cookies

Bobby had been coaxing his young

bobbed but she continued to argue
against it.
“Then you’ll be horse and buggy,"
he finally retorted.
Just then his grandmother entered
the room and overhearing the re-
mark, said: “Well, Bobby, If Aunt
Bess is horse and buggy, what am I?"
With a kiss on her cheek, Bobby
replied: “Covered wagon!"
