Far out In Bering sea lies Nunivak Island. On this bleak bit of land, 70 miles long by perhaps 50 wide, lives a tribe or tribes of people who may be the link connecting the American Indians with the people of ancient Mongolia. Washed on all sides by treacherous slmals nnd beaten continually by roaring, pitching surf, ships have always given Nunivak island a wide berth. Only once a year the government cutters or the Boxer of the United States bureau of education dare send a boat ashore. The landing parties always came hack with tales of the most primitive peoples in Alaska.

Fast Cruiser Memphis Brings Lindbergh Home Bargain in Train Fares Hits Even Baby Buggies s Glasgow, Scotland. and even the donkeys In the childrens playgrounds have been hard hit by the bargain-rat- e fare of the Glasgow tramr ride for a ways, which give a fraction less than 4 cents. Baby carriage manufacturers, too, have been affected by the cheap rate tickets. Their business has fallen off because mothers have found it convenient to allow the nurse to take ride Instead of baity for a street-ca- r pushing the youngster about the park. This innovation also has had a tendency to make the nurses nioge contenj with their tasks and saves shoe lenther besides.

Automobile nnd motor cycle dealers who specialized in little family cars designed for the average working man say their business lias suffered more than the baby carriage trade, because a car ride new Is cheaper than buying gasoline.
