AID OF CONGRESS ?S ASKED Or. Foster’s Report Shows That Dis ease, Especially Tuberculosis, Is Making Great Inroads Among the Natives of the North western Territory. By GEORGE CLINTON. Washington.—The national bureau of education has asked congress for an appropriation of 570,000 for addi tional medical work among the natives of Alaska. Elver since the Indians of the western plains stopped going on the war path philanthropists have been at work among them seeking to decrease the death rate and to make the one time warriors and their squaws and papooses observe the white roan's safeguard against dis ease. The result has been that the Indians within the United States prop er are increasing In numbers. The Alaska Indians, however, are In a pitiful condition notwithstanding the efforts of the bureau of education, which has charge of the work there, to aid them in every way. Alaska Is a long way off and the condition of the tribes there does not appeal to the residents of the United States so strongly as does that of the Indians who are at the doorstep. It is said, however, that congress is likely to he roine alive to its responsibilities and that the condition of the Alaska tribes win be materially bettered. Dr. M. H. Foster, past assistant sur geon in the public health and marine hospital service, has recently return ed from Alaska, where he was sent to make a survey of the health condi tions of the country. His report has a good deal in It to make Americans, and members of congress especially, think on the duty of this country to Its northwestern wards, many of whom are suffering physical disabilities be cause of the encroachment on their country of the “white master." copulation Rapidly Dwindling. In the report of the bureau of edu cation it is said that no Indians at all will be left in Alaska in sixty or seven ty years unless the government at once takes vigorous measures to check disease among them. Dr. Foster in discussing the decrease in the native population says: “Owing to the usual lack of vital sta tistlcs in a pioneer country such ts this, the exact facts on which to base an opinion have never been available and most of the statements have been mere conjectures. At Sitka accurate records have been kept by the churches, and they show that for a pe riod of five years and seven months the annual birth rate has been 72.3 per thousand and the annual death rate 85.4 per thousand. During this period, with an estimated population of 400. there were 29 more deaths than births. “The returns of the United States census bureau show that in the last 10 years there has been a decrease in the total Indian population approxi mately equal to 14 per cent., or 1 'a per cent, per year. This corresponds very closely to the rates as figured at Itka. and they may be taken as in d lea ting fairly correctly the rates for the whole country. The death rate it; the United States varies from 7 or S per thousand to 35 per thousand, de pending upon the locality. An aver age death rate may be placed at 22 to 23 per thousand. “The very unusual mortality in Alas ka. 85.4 per thousand. Is to be attrib uted largely to pulmonary tubercu losis. and unless it is checked In some way it will result in the extinction of the natives in 60 or 70 years. For tunately. it Is counteracted to a cer tain extent by an unusually large birth rate, but the birth rate will probably decrease as time goes on.” Not Easy to Treat. Congress has been asked to estab lish a tuberculosis sanitarium in Alas ka, a provision having been made for it ill an appropriation bill which is now before the law makers. There is a touch of humor, although it is a kind of grim humor, in what Dr. Fos ter has to say about the trouble of rendering medical assistance to In dians in their own homes. His words are intended to show the necessity for congressional action on behalf of a hospital to which natives who are seriously ill can be transferred for treatment. It is hoped that before long an ad ditional corps of doctors and nurses can be sent to Alaska who will act as medical missionaries. Aaron Burr's Cousins. A paragraph in a Washington pa per says that Senator Page of Vermont "has a grandson who on bis mother's side is a cousin of Aaron Burr.” If Speaker Champ Clark vere asked about this matter he prob ably would say that to be a cousin of Aaron Burr may carry a certain amount of distinction because of the blood relationship, but that Aaron Burr’s cousins are like the blossoms of the apple tree in May in a record breaking fruit year. Speaker Clark has been a great stu dent of Aaron Burr's life. In a way, and perhaps heartily, Mr. Clark Is something of a champion of Aaron Burr, a sincere champion because the speaker, it is said, thinks that Burr was accused of a good many things of which he was not guilty and that he was a man too much abused for faults which he had not committed. There are men who think that If Aaron Burr had not killed Alexander Hamilton many of the animosities against him would not be in existence today. There are other men who say that the dislike of Hamilton's ideas of government, held hereditarily hy pol iticians of today, are responsible in a measure for the championship of Burr by men who otherwise would not have loved his memory so much if they did not hate the memory of Hamilton's po litical and governmental views more. Many Descendants of Edwards. As for the matter of Aaron Burr's many cousins, let it be said that Burr was a grandson of Jonathan Edwards, the great theologian, and one of the first presidents of Princeton college. Jonathan Edwards had ten sisters, all of whom married ami had large fam ilies. The descendants of Jonathan Edwards direct and collateral, today are numbered by the thousands and everyone of these descendants, of course, is a cousin of Aaron Burr who was Jonathan Edward's grandson. Some one not long ago wrote a story about the Edwards descendants direct and collateral. Six of these descend ants, either grandchildren or grand nephews, were at one time presidents of colleges. It is possible that more men of the Edwards blood hold promi nent positions in the world today than men of the blood of any other one American family. The name is not al ways Edwards, of course, for in fact the Edwards of the female line out number those of the male line per haps twenty to one, but the descend ants of Jonathan Edwards' sisters and of his daughters are just as much of the Edwards blood as are the people who bear the name. Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt Is a direct descenuant of Jonathan Edwards and so It is said is former President Eliot of Harvard. Army Worried About Horse*. Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood, chief of Etafi, United States army, who as a surgeon was stationed with a cavalry regiment In the south over the growing difficulty of securing good horses for the service. General Wood and some other officers with him 6ay that the laws against betting on horse races in many of the states are responsible in a way for the grow mg scarcity of good horses for the service. It must not be understood that General Wood either personally or In his capacity as the ranking officer ofj the army upholds betting. He sim ply states what he thinks is a fact and deplores the effect If not the* cause. When American cavalry of ficers recently went to England to en-! gage in a contest of horsemanship. In cluding high jumping, with the officers of cavalry regiments of European* countries, they lost most of the events because it is said their horse* were) not the equals of those used by the^ toreign officers. August Belmont, w ho Is chairman oft the American Jockey club, at a dinner in New York a night or two ago, point ed to the serious menace which threat ened the cavalry and field artillery branches of the United States army "in the depletion of thoroughbred horses by reason of a cessation racing.” Mr. Belmont has suggested the formation of a nation-wide asso ciation to be known as the National Cavalry and Artillery Remount asso. ciation. to be created from at! ranks, of sports and agricultural lire with the center of the organization at Washington, to keep a register of. mares inspected and found suitable for breeding remounts and artillery horses. Gen. Leonard Wood and Col. Theodore Roosevelt have expressed a willingness to become vice-presidents of the association, it is expected that inducements will be held out to horse breeders in all parts of the country to make a specialty of animals suit able for the army service. American Record Rides. There has been a general belief through the years that the foreign cavalry horses were better than those of America, and yet there are records' in the United States service of long, hard rides, the horses coming through in good condition, which never have been equaled by men and horses of the foreign service. The army has; records of some of these rides and It fears today that the deterioration of the American horse may prevent their, repetition If the service should de mand strenuous efforts on the part or the cavalry horses of the present and of the near future. Made Fierce by Cold Weather. The recent Intense cold has driven many packs of wolves out of the high-lying forests of Hungary down amongst the villages near the Rozaly mountains. A number of cattle and other domestic animals have fallen a prey to their depredations. One vil lage near Gros Ban.va was treated to the remarkable spectacle of a fight in a garden between a bear, who bad come to the village to took for some thing to eat. and a number of wolves who had come for the same purpose. The bear defended himself stoutly with blows of bis paws, and killed two of his assailants, but be was final ly forced to take refuge up a tree, where he was shot by a village sports man, after the wolves had given up the siege. A farmer at Vesssod saw a wolf put bis head through the half opened door of the room In which he was sleeping. With great presence of mind he slammed the door to. caught the animal’s neck between door and doorpost, and killed It with a blow on the head from a heavy chair. The authorities are arranging a drive on a large scale, by which it is hoped to clear the Inhabited country of the wo I res. To Supplement Natural Tresses. A new German invention for sup plementing natural tresses Is hair made of artificial silk, which has the texture of real hair. It can be dyed the exact color of natural hair, no matter how difficult the shade may be. This new silk hair is certain to be extremely popular. * It Is clean, to be gin with, and may be washed at any time as easily as any other kind of silk. Besides that, it has a great deal of body, and, when made into tails and transformations, holds much bet ter than real hair. It is glossy, and will submit to brililantlne or oil like the loose hair switches, and when once curled keeps the- curl much bet ter than ordinary false hair.
