ALASKAN HEALTH •SDRVEYSTARTED Doctors and Nurses Study Native Conditions. Bu United, Press FAIRBANKS, Alaska, June 4.—A Government expedition to study health and sanitary conditions among’ Alaska natives in territory seldom if ever visited by white men has left here. Two trained medical investigators, two trained nurses, a cook, engineer and servant will enter the Yukon via the Tanana River, to be gone at least four months. According to Dr. H. C. Devighne, the territory to be visited consists of 1,000 square miles on the lower Yukon and its tributaries, inhabited by native Eskimos, Aleuts and Indians. Dr. Devighne is territorial health commissioner. “What the expedition will find we do not know,” Dr. Devighne said. “We hear rumors of epidemics among the natives from time to time and we want to get at the facts. We have planned this expedition for several years. A report will be made to Government departments when the survey is over.” A permanent clinic for natives will be set up at Ft. Yukon, following the completion of the survey, Dr. Devighne believes. DEATH CELL AT INDIANA , PRISON FULL Four Compartments Filled' —Twojndianapolis Negroes. For one of the few times in the history of capital punishment in In* diana, the death cell at the Indiana State Prison at Michigan City is full, Warden Walter H. Daly has reported to Governor Jackson. Each of the four compartments is filled with a prospective victim of the electric chair, two groes. All of the men are youthful, and one, Wallace McCutcheon of Indianapolis, will carry with him the sordid honor of being the youngest person ever to have been legally executed in Indiana. McCutcheon, who is only 16, was convicted of the murder of John Ward. His turn at the chair will come the first week in August unless a stay ot execution is granted.

Helpless MqCut*chean’s helplessness is illustrated in an impassioned letter sent t§ the trial judge, in which he declares he “never had a chance as other boys did.” First of the quartet to be executed is Roosevelt Hicks, another Indianapolis Negro, now 23 years old. Hicks will be lead from his coop to the chair early the morning of July 5. He is terrified at the thought of the ordeal, cowers in the corner of his cell, feverishly tugs at the bars of his cage and trembles with fright when attaches of the prison approach. He doubtless will have to be carried bodily to the execution chamber. . Hicks was convicted of murdering his wife. Least Concern cd Least concerned of the group is Vito Sanchez, an illiterate Lake County Mexican, who is scheduled for extinction on Oct. 8. His appeal is before the State Supreme Court and the faintest chance that his calmness will be rewarded. Fourth of the unfortunates is Dryfus Rhodes, an Oklahoma youth, whose time will arrive in July. Rhodes was in Knox County on the charge of shooting a policeman. His mother is circulating a petition in his behalf and it is likely that Governor Jackson will be urged to commute his sentence to life imprisonment.

CHARLEY BRIAN ' DROPSTHATCAP Skull Protector Covers Dome No More. Bu United Press OMAHA, June 4. After nineteen years of constant association, Charles Bryan and his famous skull cap have parted company. Bryan, Democratic Vice Presidential nominee, in 1324, and forpier Governor of Nebraska, was rarely seen without his cranial decoration during the entire nineteen years. He wore it constantly during the hectic democratic national convention in New York. 4 • “I considered the skullcap a necessity for many years,” Bryan explained. “The nerves in my head were injured many years ago sitting in the sunlight and it affected my sight. "Even when sitting under a brilliant electric light these nerves have been affected. “But I figured they had had a score of years of rest and I ought to try to get my head hardened. I keep the cap in my pocket for emergencies but I very seldom use it any more.” lIE OFFERED A LOT CAMBRIDGE.

ELLEN AS AN INFANT WAS A PAL

Mother Never Talked Baby Talk to Wonder Child, She Says. This is the third of Anne Austin s exclusive NEA articles on the childhood of Ellen Elizabeth Henson, her daughter. whose mind is called “the brightest iver tested." There will he three others. By Anne Austin .VAX Service Wril r I have just come home after seeing Elizabeth graduated front high ac'hool. She's asleep now, her round, babyish face still flushed with excitement, the yellow hair damp on iter forehead, her fat, dimpled arms (lung wide, in that complete abandonment to slumber which characterizes a perfectly healthy child. Her ribbon-tied diploma lies on the floor by her bedside, like a doll with which she had grown tired of playing. I’m sure it won't occur to her to frame it neatly; she isn’t a very orderly person. And I*ve been sitting here, feeling weepy ansi full of forebodings as to the future, when she will be away at college, but feeling exalted, too, and happy, in thinking back over the twelve years during which I have watched her develop. I don’t make claim to any credit at all for the linetm that diploma which testifies that she graduated with highest honors. For I never helped her with a single lesson. Never Pushed AVhen she was 16 months old, realizing her unusual possibilities, I determined to let her develop with absolute independence. I would never “push” her, for her development, one Inch. As I have said before, I have always thought of her as a person, an entirely separate individuality, rather thar as my baby, to be molded or warped by me. But I did from the

time she was a baby, talk with h®r as freely as If she were adult. Bifore she was able talk plainly I told her all the news of my busy days, not condescendingly or In baby talk, but as one friend talks to another. I wanted her to be my friend, above anything else In the world. In some curious way I seemed to be born again, with Elizabeth’s birth. Her childhood was my childhood — I’d missed a real childhood of my own. Before she could talk plainly, we told each other seertts, laughed together gleefully—she has a gorgeous sense of humor; and made love to each other like a pair of sweethearts. Sne taught herself to read when she was 4, and from that time on we discussed books together, 'each with respectful attention to the other’s opinions but not giving an inch when we disagreed. I have never told her which authors she should read, or forbidden her to read any book that she wanted to read. I have never told her what she should think of a piece of music or a painting. Thinks for Herself I % hgve always insisted that site think for herself, and I may add that it took very little insisting on my part, for she has no trace of subservience. I have done only two things to further her mental development—l have given her access to the best books, the best music, the best in art and drama, and I have introduced her to nearly all the Interesting people I have met in my work. None of my friends —most of them writers, artists and musicians treat her as a child in mentality. They do not talk down to her; they admit her into the conversation as if she were adult. ' Her school work has been strictly her own affair. Until she was a senior in high school, I rarely saw one of her textbooks, since she did practically all of her studying at school, during study periods. Os course I took an interest in her progress. made friends with her teachers, but I did not nag or scold if her grades slumped temporarily. If she had not managed to make an A average for almost every term she has been in school. I hope I still should

have had strength to stick to the program of “hands off" Tomorrow I shall tell about Eliza betth’s share in making our home. For there came the rub! 150 IN .GROTTO CLASS Ceremonies Till* Afternoon At Athenaeum; Out-Of-Town Visitors.
