cannot be seen when used,

FIVE NEW SC10LS
Five new schools are planned for
construction this year in the Terri
tory by the Federal Bureau of Edu
cation, according to information
reaching the Governor’s office. Funds
for their erection are included in the
Interior Department’s annual supply
bill which recently was signed by
President Coolidge.
The Bureau of Education received
in this measure a total of $736,500
for its work in Alaska. The main
items were: Education of Indians
$469,000, medical relief $150,000, and
reindeer service $17,520.
New school buildings are proposed
at Kashega, Old Harbor, Chanego
and Chitina in the Third Division,
and Koyuk in the Second Division.
The Chanega building will cost $2,200
and the other four $4,000 each.
Sixteen new teachers are expected
to be added to the Bureau’s Alaskan
corps next year. These include nine
for the five new schools and one
each at White Mountain, Kanakanak,
and Eklutna training schools, and at
the school of Ketchikan, Juneau, Sit
ka and Yakutat. Funds were also
provided for continuation of the
medical relief work begun last year
on the Yukon River by means of a
river boat -which carries a doctor and
nurses to the isolated villages scat
tered along that stream.
flUSSMN CHILD NOW
NIHO AFTER PARTY
MOSCOW, Feb. 24. ($>)—An entire
ly new and revolutionary series of
prenomens have been adopted by the
Bolsheviks in the christening of their
new-born children.
Instead of the old conventional
names of Sergius, Peter, Ivan, Olga,
Alexandra, Catherine and Elizabeth,
children of communists nowadays are
named after some great revolutionary
leader, party, industry or political
movement, or even after some town,
river or song in Soviet Russia.

virtue of their victory over the Fire
men nine last week, will meet the

“Bud” Dyer and Willis ready to re

comedian, will be on the receiving
