Taken at Its lowest terms, the Dawes plan has quietly and automati- gun to fuel the real pres.sure. But the Dawes plan has been and is worth while. It has, for the present, removed the reparations issue from the field of political controversy. It la, as Mr. Gilbert observes, "an international ex- periment In good will. It aimed • • ♦ to gire a fair trial to methods of pa- tient inquiry and quiet administra- tion." In spite of what the future may hold for it, the verdict to-day la: So far, so good. Facts. Southeastern Alaska has a climate about like that of Washington, D.C., in fact, it Is said to bo more equable. Northern .\lBska has a climate about like that of Petrograd. Russia. While there is plenty of cold and plenty of snow, there are many redeeming fea- tures. Hungarian mothers have a custom of swaddling their infants in pockets made of immense pillows, which are beautifully if not artistically embroid- ered. Tha babies live on these pillows until they are able to walk. When one Mohammedan meets an- other Mohammedan he must say "Peace be unto you." the v.ord "you" being plural. This Is because, while only one man Is visible, he Is always accompanied by his guardian angel, and both must be properly saluted. When a horse bites he simply bites, but when a camel bites he a!.so gives bis jaw a rapid grinding motion, the effect being like grinding grain be- tween rotating stones, a grist mill wheel, in fact. Consequently when a camel bites a man's arm there Is very little left of the arm. and what is left must be amputated.
