MISSIONARY TO #FAR NORTH HAS GRIPPING STORY Tells of Winter With 200 Destitute Eskimos on Small Island, By Times Special NOME, Alaska, July 14. —Missionary work on the Diomedes Islands seems to be almost as close to the north pole as it has ever been carried. To try to find these islands on the average map is to locate Bering Strait and East Cape and trust to luck that the small black pin points scattered off the coast are the Diomedes. Nine times out of ten they are. And it was on one of these small pin points, the “Little Diomedes,” as it is locally called, that the first mission was founded in the winter of 1922-1923, with seventeen youthful Eskimos in an improvised schoolroom hewn out of solid rock. Forty-live Years in Work Recently Dr. Nils F. Hoijer, Swedish missionary, who has been fortyfive years planting his church schools among peoples unacquainted with any but the most primitive re.lisdon (and often no religion at all), the story of the Bering Eskimo. J|| Hoijer was on his way back to Nome, where his launch New York was to take him across to the Siberian mainland, twenty miles south of the smaller Diomedes, to the bleak neighborhood which for two years had been the scene of his labors. It is a spot where a man standing in northeastern Siberia can almost shake hands with a man standing on Alaskan shores. “Provided we are not frozen in,” smiled the long-bearded Scandinavian, “as we were two years ago.” It was on the trip from Nome to Eastern Siberia in 1922 that the missionary's small boat was blocked by ice for nine months, a captive of that northern winter of which the tenderfoot has small knowledge. Here on a small island this minister to outposts found a starving colony of Eskimos. Helped Starving Colony “Their cave homes had been sacked by a party of Japanese, who had carried off all winter stores,” he said. “Meat, furs, spears, oil, all had been taken. In their place the Japanese left a goodly supply of strong drink. There was not even a knife with which those left behind could forage fcr food. The settlement was in a desperate state. We had previsions for our own party of ten and our supplies, with fish and game, had to lost us through the winter, for heavy storms set in and ica closed the channel. There '}£T e tkout 200 Eskimos on the jflw island.” Bering Eskimo, according to Hoijen. lives in a sort of cave hewn out of rocks along the seashore. His implements are those of the caveman—handmade stone

AUTHORITIES PUT COLORED GLASS OUT Os RUNNING Indianapolis Glass Company Just Finished Beautiful Store Front, Hundreds of years ago when an old Byzantine king had his palace built with many windows of beautifully colored glass he had done something. Indeed homes in Indianapolis • saw something” when they saw the world through panes of rose colored "art glass.” But the colored glass windows, except in churches and public buildings. are passe, says the Indianapolis Glass Company. The thing they are doing now days is putting in mitered glass in windows, entrance doors and hall way mirrors, etc. Mitering gives the effect of many tiny partes of glass. It Is done on a machine for that purpose by tracing a pattern on a large pane of plate glass. Another of the glass industry that the Indianapolis Glass Company is doing a great deal with is “store fronts.” A material known as “Sanl-Onyx” is used for the base for the great glass windows in store fronts. Another la "Kawneer,” solid copper for which this company is exclusive local agent. They pride themselves on having so complete a stocky that an order one day may be filled the next. An overland trucking system has created a great deal of Interest, for this concern. Rather than trust delivery to possible trucking agencies they have a fully equipped truck for carrying great panes of glass with far less chance of breakage and less expense. They send their own installation crew as well. This company has recently furnished ail the plate statuary bronze, Kawneer store front, SaniOnyx, bulkhead material and zinc-set transom glass for the James McCarty Men’s Furnishing Company.

J “We are not making any mistake on this,” the mayor said. “I talked to Inspector Walter White, who has been on the force twenty-eight years, and he told me they were making the right places. The campaign will continue.” The mayor dictated a letter to Charles Koehring, 828 Virginia Ave., hardware dealer, who opposed the wholesale clean-up drive because it was including innocent citizens. Mayor Explains Shank's letter: “Dear Sir: I have known of you for qtlite a while and believe you are a good citizen of Indianapolis. Al_so believe that you Have been misinformed abbut the condition?.

RIVERSIDE PARK HAS NEWJHRILLS “Have you been to Riverside this year?” is the question fun lovers are asking each other in increasing numbers. For the last three years Lewis A. Coleman and A. W. Colter, managers of Riverside Park, have with astounding success, improved and beautified the park. The Slogan is. “Safety First, Courtesy Second and Enjoyment and Pleasure foF All,” which appeals to a patronage that has heretofore looked with some disfavor on similar amusement places. There is anew thrill this year in the form of a well named “Sky Rocket.” Every chute and coaster ride in the amusement park has been rebuilt and improved upon. A landscape gardener is at work on plans for further development of the park itself and plans for boulevards are being discussed with city offl cials. Anew baby "monk" is probably the “proudest thing they are of” out there. They have named him “Abe Martin. Another addition to the “zoo” is a snake turkey, which you must see to appreciate, says Mr. Edwards.

a good officer —he tells me he never raided a poolroom except those who have gamblers, bootleggers and highjackers around their place of business. He says the first-class legitimate poolrooms have not been molested. I wish t? cq.ll your attention to the fact that there have been three murders and one man nearly killed in the past sixty days—all this happened in or near^poolroofns. Very truly yours, SAMUEL LEWIN SHANK, Mayor. P. S.—Mr. Koehring, it hasn’t been many years since you lost a tire and rim off your car and you advertised in the Indianapolis papers that you would give a liberal reward to the party finding and returning it to you. A friend of mine found your tire and rim and returned same to you, expecting the liberal reward as advertised —you offered him sl. Why the change of heart now? This young man would stiU like the liberal reward you offered for the return of your tire and rim at that lime. Koehring Answers “I don’t see how that has anything to*do wth this case,” Koehring said when informed of the mayor’s letter. “Os course, I haven’t received the letter yet. I do not remember about four or five years ago, I lost a tire, but as I remember it, someone close to the store here found it and brought it in. I don’t remember whether I advertised and offered a reward or not.” “My SIOO offer stil} holds good,” Koehring said. “Many folks have approved of establishment of such a fund.” “Os course, I believe the police know what they’re doing. They’re doing just what the mayor tells them to do." Mayor Enjoys It? Charging that unwarranted arrests of innocent persons on vagrancy charges has become so common that the public should take defensive measures, Koehring offered

We ail know the vast majority of them will be released. But what of the humilation. discomfort and in some instances expense, they have -been put to? Reward SIOO “We all know how keenly Mayor Shank enjoys having people arrested. During one of the speeder cleanups he got the utmost enjoyment in leaving his office and riding around In his automobile doing police work and making arrests himself. “A Superior Court judge on a hearing involving arrests for vagrancy said that the act of arresting innocent persons, putting them in jail under $5,000 bond was itself a crime. “Spasmodic drives will not hejp the situation. Prosperous bootleggers and crooks will not be found In dingy poolrooms running around with sleighbells on.” Koehring asks that persons Interested in the movement communicate with him. / ..
