C. The story begins with a legendary ruler, Fuhsl, who is said to have been the organizer of society in the time when the peo pie lived by hunting and fishing. o— ——— Another Myth Blasted For years the bears of Kadiak island have been a bugaboo that rivaled the child-stealing witches for terror. Recent explorations have been conducted in the islands and it Is now stated that Kadiak bears are no worse than others. - ° City of Islands Amsterdam, "the dam of the Amstel river," a city built in the shape of a semicircle, is crossed by numerous canals which cut the city Into about 90 small Islands, necessitating about 300 bridges.

CHINA TO TAKE TARIFF CHARGE FIRST OF YEAR By D. <'. Besot (United I'resH Staff Cnrrespondent) Peking, Jan. 1 —(UP) The Nationalist Government of China expeot-t to enforce control of its own tariff duties, in spite of opposition from several important powers, beginning January 1 ' The United States Government was the first to go on record approving of this request, setting a matter which has been a sore point between China and the powers for generations. By the terms of the tariff treaty between the United States and China signed in Peking last June, the Nanking Government is quite ftee to control its cwn tai iff al any time after the first of the yeat as long as Americans are not di - criminated against. Tariff problems are so complicated that cnly a few experts thoroughly understand their varied phases. There lias been much miscomprehension of the tariff questions between China and the powers, both in China and abroad. In general, it appears true that the powers have not deserved their reputation foi holding China in bondage through control of tai iff rates and colections. Foreign administration of the Chinese customs aroused in the first place at the Chinese Government's own request and has l>een continued with Chinese consent in order to make possible the flotation of foreign loans secured on customs revenues. The fact remains, however, that the ciy for tai iff autonomy has been 01m of the chief slogans of th ■ Kuomint:r r (Nationalist Party.) before and aft r they unified China under one government. So long as China does not hav ■ complete tariff autonomy, the char ■ wil probably continue to be made th t foreigners are holding hack China's pt ogress. For this reason among ethers, Americans in China are glad to see tariff autonomy in sight __o Strangest Migration This is the season of the return nt the caribou to Alaskan feeding grounds These animals travel in a huge circle below the arctics, visiting their feeding grounds once a year Seven million animals are In the herd.
