One Missionary to Eskimos Made Use
of Sealskins and Another Em
ployed Only Snow.
One of the queerest churches ever
known was built by a missionary on
Blncklead Island, in Cumberland
sound. Finding tnnt the Eskimos had
,no place In which 'they could meet
for religious services, the missionary
started to build a church of the skins
of seals, no wood being available. The
skins were sewn together and stretch
ed over "girders" of whalebone, empty
provision tins serving as seats.
The cold at one time became so
severe that for many days the Eski
mos' of Blacklead Island were unable
to procure food for themselves or for
their animals. One night dogs made
their way to the strange church edi
fice and began consuming It, with the
result that when morning came there
was not a skin left, the whalebone
ribs alone- remaining to show that
there had ever been u church.
Another missionary In charge of the
spiritual welfare of the Eskimo tribe,
built his church entirely of snow.
Seat, pulpit, altar and, Interior equip
ment, was made of snow, and In the
matter of warmth ho stone-built
church could beat It.

Boy Scout's Explanation Somewhat
Disconcerting In That It Im
plied So Much.
The Boy Scouts were telling their
scoutmaster of some of the good turns
they had done during the last week.
IIo was having this done for the benefit
of one of the city school teachers who
was visiting the meeting. One of the
little scouts said, "I helped an old lady
across the street"
The next little scout looked ut the
visiting teacher, who happened to be
his teacher, and who.nlso was In the
early thirties. "I brought ray teacher
a pitcher of well water when she was
not feeling well," he told the scout
master.
The teacher smiled, "Why didn't you
say you helped another old lady?" she
asked.
The retort that came back staggered
her. The little scout said sweetly, "A
scout Is courteous." Indianapolis

RECORDS PROMISED IN 1920
Millions to Be Spent In Improving
Public Highways and Transporta
tion Facilities.
The year 1020 promises to develop n
revolution In Amerlcn's two great
' problems highways and transporta
tton. ,
All over the country great Interest
Is being manifested In better roads
and Improved transportation faclll
ties.
The coming of the pneumatic-tired
motortruck has given an Impetus to
the movement for a national highway
system that Is sweeping everything
before it. ,
State after state has passed, with
out noticeable opposition, approprla
tlons for millions of dollars to build
and Improve main market and Inter
county highways.
What these activities portend can be
visualized In some measure when It is
said that of the 2,000,000 miles of
roads In this country only 200,000 miles
are Improved.
Motor transports work nt highest ef
ficiency on good roads, although the
pneumatic truck tire Is rendering con
splcuous service in transporting
heavy loads over swamp ground and
the sandy soli of fruit groves.

According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of ut,
