The diptheria epidemic In Nome, Alaska, bringing its desperate race between death and dog teams with anti-toxin, centered the attention of the country on what has be come a commonplace to "sour doughs," the usual method of transportation in the frozen inter ior of the northern territory in winter an adventure at best. It is only on such occasions as epidemics that the - mushing is carried -out at such hazardous speed, but the usual : progress across the center of Alaska is made once a fortnight throughout the winter by mail carriers, who travel 870 miles from Nenana to Nome. Numerous other traders, prospec tors and trappers are on the go frequently for long or short Jour neys. " ' --- - ; :: n French-Canadians int he em employ of the Hudson's Bay Com pany 300 years ago, learning the use of dogs and sleds from Eski mos in the far northwest of Amer ica, used to shout "marche" when they wanted the. dogs to speed up. In the mouths of English-speak ing men this . became - "mush," wh.tihc has stuck as a "get up" to the dog and as a designation for travel by dog-drawn sled. Tragedies of the trail, for men, are comparatively few, partly be cause the winter drives are under taken "only by hardy, experienced men, and largely because of the uncanny ability of the dogs to avoid hazards of the trail. Over flows are dreaded possibilities. Most of the mushing is done on the ice of rivers or seas and the rest of It overland from one body of water to another. Sometimes the swiftness of the current or the entry of a side stream causes the water to flow above the ice, making slush of the snow. There lurks death for man. Ii he gets into it his -legs will freeze tem peratures of 50 below zero are frequent on the trail. Freeze fol lows instantly after emergence from the slush, and the musher is helpless. But a good dog detects an overflow a mile off. He scents it and suddenly departs from the deep trail and leads the team off through unbroken snow,. Around the overflow he detours, i coming back to the trail when' past the 8lU8&. ' - -;7V-. .' - On Ice covered with sharp, pro jections, called spear Ice, occur ring on rivers and seas, the dogs wear moccasins. Sometimes un der, pressure, such as when 300, 000 units of antitoxin were taken from IJenana on the Alaska rail road Jan.- 27 and - delivered In Nome by relays of dog teams Feb. 2, several dogs are carried on the sleds, the animals taking turns at riding and running. The principal sled dogs are Huskies and Malemutes. Huskies are crosses; of domestic dogs and prairie wolves. They weigh" T3 pounds and up. The leaders are light in weight. They are brain workers, and really lead. They do not work but watch the trail. Trail dogs sleep comfortably In the snow. In a severe blizzard an Alaskan will leave his dogs to burrow in the snow and outlast the storm if they can, and he .will make his way to shelter, j The bond between a driver and his dogs is not exactly that pictur ed by a dog-lover in the states. The mushing dog, being half wolf, gen erally would, live like a wolf ex cept for vrestraint: ' Host ' sour doughs profess to. feel no love for sled dogs, and aver that the dogs feel none-tor them. On the other hand auch a writer as Hudson Stuck, Episcopal archdeacon of the Yukon and Arctic regions, affirms that some sled dogs - love some men.. .4 -14 Dogs i are used in . Alaska,, for winter, travel only. In the sum mer they live In camps, where they are chained each to a trolley wire that gives him a run. For if they could reach each other there usual ly would be trouble. In winter, work and the blacksnake - whip keep them in order. On the trail they are, fed once every 24 hours on whatever the master is able to give them. Often it is dried fish. A passenger may ride on the sled, but the driver runs behind it and rides on the rear runners al ternately. A good day's travel is 40 to 50 miles, but In a storm and bad going among hills a team and two men may work from six in the morning until nine at night advancing -only ten miles. '. In the diptheria epidemic . the, dogs got through and an airplane, primed for the flight, failed to start. But airplanes are ' being psei Increasingly in the north. DIVE LIVES D DOGS though usually in summer, for winter flights are considered ex tremely hazardous. The govern ment is working on a plan to de liver mail in winter . by a plane equipped with runners so it may alight on the snow. NEW YORK CITY EXCELS BULGARIA IX POPULATION SOFIA, Mar. 14. The popula tion of Bulgaria now numbers 5,- 115,906, according to figures pub lished by the official newspaper, La Bulgarie. These are based on the census. of 1924. The record shows that the increase of popu lation has been steady since 1920. 7 minis Adventures From All Lands Now Serving in Famous French Division PARIS, March 1 4: Approxim ately 40 self-styled Americans are now serring in the famous Fo reign Legion of the French army, scattered, in : Algeria, ... Morocco. Syria and Tonkin. But how many of that tworscore are really citi zens of the United States the French war department is unable to say. All it knows is that with in the past three years 40 men, describing themselves as Ameri cans, have enlisted. The reason for lack of accurate data on these self exiled or self styled, Americans Is that the French army requires absolutely no identity papers of applicants for service in its renowned ex peditionary corps. A German who has never been any farther west than Frankfurt-on-the-Main may present himself before a recruit ing officer and join the legion un- jdr.. tb0 najue of Otto Schmidt, American, born in Hoboken. Sim ilarly .a -Pole may Join up as Stan islav Skryzskinski, American, born and bred in Cleveland. Provided the applicant : meets the physical requirements, which . are . fairly stiff, the French recruiting autho rities make no investigation. "No questions' asked"- is ' the legion's rule. .- ; .7.:"7''-; ' V,"; 7 ;- 7; For the Legion Etrangere .was founded ," to offer refuge," aecordr ing to-.the minister of Kink Louis PhUppe who organized it In 1831, "to v those f foreigners who,; by reason -of the. troubled state of Europe ; have come . within our borders, and whose presence, un employed and harassed by neces sity, may constitute a public dan ger," Soon after 1831 member ship- 4n the. legion was .thrown open to Frenchmen. From the beginning of its history of nearly 100 : years,, the legion , has nor mally.been a good 40 or. 50 per cent German in make-up. Yet never, according to the French army chiefs, has that high per centage made the slightest differ ence In the legion's loyalty to either the white flag of Louis Philippe, or, the tricolor under. which France's armies have marched during the reign of Napo leon III and the present republi can regime. The glowing citations which the polyglot warrirs amass ed during , the late war are .ample proof that their famous song, "Having no fatherland, France is our mother" - is no mere poetical Imagery. S .Thr Jeglon's strength .is now close to 20,000 men. In times of peace, its effectives are - normally not employed in France proper, but In the colonies. The regula tions provide that the legionnaire, who enlists, tor a five year first term of service, shall be rotated from Africa to th Far East; and back againl For the legion the French high command tries J to live up to' thei od recruiting promise' -of ' "Join ? the -army and see the 'woTld."-:-- :'" The discipline, as far'as regula tions go. is exactly the same as In the regular French forces. In practice the presence of a large number of 'German 'non-commissioned officers tends to make i it more strict. ..However,', .foreign records may be admitted as legion second f lieutenant after; a. six month's Jtrahilng period. Oppor tunity :r for ' attendance at ; the French officers' tralng schools Is held out to all ranks of legion naires who show, the necessary ap titude. T- Among the officers now serving with the legion ;three are known' to be- bonafide Americans who joined the force during the late war. 7 One 'certified American Is serving as a first sergeant. .

The business grew rapidly. More help was employed. The business continued to expand, larger and better orders were received. A short time ago it became evident that larger quarters -must be ob tained and Mr. Dunsmore found himself , in possession of a busi ness which justified him in buying a site and erecting a factory es pecially adapted to his line. The new location is at 2218 State street. The new building will be 40 by 40 feet. It will be ready for occupancy in about two months. . --.-. , . Under the direction of the state vocational board, Mr. Dunsmore Is now starting classes in wicker work. The new building will be ample for caring for the large classes which the state vocational board expects to be Interested in this particular line of art work. ; The great variety and artistic designs of the work being done entitles the shop to be called an art craft shop.
