(By Associated Press ) Hockey final: Portland 6; Saskatoon 5. No Crime on . Educated, English Speaking Island,' Free of Paupers As proof that the vanity case is not a recent conquest of woman's affection, but is a friend at least 6000 years old, Mrs. C. S. Jackson, wife of the managing editor of the Oregon Journal of Portland, stated that in a museum of one of Ice land's cities, she found a Chaldean vanity case that was fully 6000 years old. She spoke at Rotarlan luncheon. "You might think that this van ity case was used by some wom an, she said, "but as a matter of fact in those days, woman had plenty of color of her own. a -It was the men. who made use of the vanity cases in those days, preen ing themselves as do male birds. "In this museum 1 also discov ered a six inch statue of Abraham. This statue is said to have been found near Ur, home of Abraham It was remarkable to note how his facial characteristics as disclosed by the statue have been conserved by the race that claim direct de- ension from him." Iceland is a land of wonder, ac cording to Mrs. Jackson. There are only 100,000 inhabitants on the island, as the whole land' is but one halt the area of Oregon, and only a fifth of this is inhabited be cause .of the geysers and the vol; canoes in the remainder. Every person on the island it well educated, and not only is there no illiteracy, but there is not dne pauper on the island. Crime is so scarce that an arrest for a criminal act has not been made in more than fifty years. There is not a case of feeble mindedness or of insanity on the island. ''The people are 3ust as white as we Americans, and they dress like us. They speak English as well as we do, and it is very hard to tell them from us. Several of them visited our ship, and at a dance given in the evening .the American "men- were sTioSetrtf?TRivAL dance with the Iceland women and vice versa. Some or the men would go up to a woman and ask her, 'Do you speak English?' in an endeavor to place the Iceland women. But their control of the language is as good as ours, and the next morning the men did not know whether they had danced with the native women or not." Mrs. Jackson asserted that there is not much difference in the cli mate of Oregon and that of Ice land, the weather averaging there only about six -degrees colder than here. When she was there the fields were green with myriads of wild, flowers. There are no for rests on the island, however, and the only wood that the natives ob tain on their shores is drift.
