NEW NATIONAL
WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.—As a re
sult of recommendations made by the
secretary of agriculture, the “Old Ka
saan National Monument,” consisting
of 38 acres within the Tongass nation
al forest, Alaska, has just been cre
ated by presidential proclamation. The
tract embraces the well-known aban
doned Haida Indian village of Old Ka
saan, situated on Prince of Wales is
land in southeastern Alaska, about 30
miles west of the city of Ketchikan.
The village was abandoned by the
Indians about ten years ago. Among
the relics which remain there are
about fifty Indian totem poles, five or
six of which are classed as exceeding
ly good specimens. In the deserted vil
lage there are also eight large square
buildings, which were originally con
structed according to the peculiar plan
of the Haida Indians, and which, it is
stated by those best qualified to know,
represent the best specimens of Haida
architecture that now exist. The
largest of these buildings is approxi
mately 40 by 60 feet in size and ;s
made entirely of round and carved
timbers. There also remains a num
ber of Indian graves with the typical
Jmall grave houses erected by the Al
askan Indians.
“Kasaan” is said to be the Indian i
word which means “a pretty town,” j
and all reports agree that the village
was well named. The fact that the ;
village was occupied by the Indians i
for many years explains the local.
name “Old” Kasaan, by which it is I
widely known.
Since the village was abandoned by
the Indians the buildings have been |
rapidly falling into a state of dilapida- i
tion and decay, and a certain amount:
of vandalism by tourists and souvenir
hunters renders some form of protec
tion essential. An examination of the
area was made jointly by representa
tives of the forest service and of the
interior department, and reports
strongly urging the establishment of
a national monument were approved i
by the secretaries of both depart- i
ments. The Smithsonian Institution
strongly endorsed the proposition for
the establishment of a national monu-i
ment. The new national monument
will be protected and administered by
the forest service, as is the case with
all monuments located within the na
tional forest.—From the Forest Ser
vice, U. S. Department of Agriculture.
ENGINEER REPORTS
GERMANS ORDERED
THEM TO “GET OlIT”
F. Smith of Hartford. Conn., a ma
rine engineer since 1881, who has just
returned to New York from his last
trip made on the British steamer Mid
land, that was recently sunk by the
Germans, reported his experience in
part, as follows:
“I have been a marine engineer
since 1881, but never have -I gone
through an ordeal like the one the
German submarine put upon us a few
weeks ago. I was induced to sign as
second engineer by assurance of good
pay and by promise that the steamer
was bound for China. Later I found
that the ship was bound for Vladivo- \
stok.
“After leaving the Siberian port we
went to Australia, where we loaded
grain for Havre. At 6:30 p. m., Oct.
20, we were halted by seven shots.
None hit us, but we found they had
come from a submarine which had
come to the surface a few hundred
yards away.
“We had a crew of 33, eight of us:
white men and the others Lascars. 1 1
was the only American on board.- We.
were ordered to the lifeboats, 18 men
going in one and 15 of us in another, i
We were ordered to approach the sub
marine and the German commander
forced us to come aboard. He put some
of his crew into our boats and they .
went out to the Midland and sank her.
After four explosions we saw her dark
hull roll over and go down.
“The Germans used only one Eng
lish expression when they returned to
the submarine after sinking the Mid
land. That was, ‘Get out.’ We drift
ed throughout the night until at day
break a French trawler picked us up
and kept us aboard for two days.
Later it took us into St. Malo.”

CASES OF CANCER
CURED BY TRYPSIN
Cases of cancer apparently cured
by injections of trypsin were reported
to a recent meeting of the Society of
Clinical Research by Dr. Marshall W.
McDuffie of New York. Trypsin is i
one of the ferments or enzymes se-'
creted by the pancreas, and its prin- j
cipal function is to digest proteins.
Dr. McDuffie first tried the effects1
of injecting trypsin into the veins of
animals, and found that it caused a
rapid and considerable fall in blood
pressure, but did no harm at all. The
first human case on which he tried
it was that of a woman with carcinoma
of the breast. This had been removed
by a surgeon, but had recurred and
was spreading to the glands above
the collar bone. Unfortunately the
very day that this woman was to be
discharged from the hospital cured
she died of apoplexy. But the case
so encouraged the doctors that they
were led to persevere.
The second case was that of a labor
er fifty-four years old with a sarcoma
of the lower jaw that had been re
moved with the knife, but had recur
red and was involving the glands of
the neck. He was treated with tryp
sin injected into a vein one cubic cen
timetre at a time at varying intervals
over a period of eight weeks. By the
end of this time the growth had been
absorbed and the general health was!
markedly improved.
“These two cases,” said Dr. McDuf
fie, “representing the two main types(
of this disease, carcinoma and sarco
ma, offer the proof of the value of'
trypsin treatment and demonstrate
the fact that a cure of cancer is pos- i
sible.”

MRS. TOM THUMB AT 75
TELLS’ US HOW TO BE
HAPPY WHEN MARRIED
MI DOLE BORO, Mans., Nov. 17.—
At a party given here recently in
honor of her 75th birthday the Count
ess Magri, better known as Mrs. Toni
Thumb, explained her peaceful mar
ried life by saying: “Don’t argue
with your husband. Let him have his
own way—but win him to your way
when he doesn’t know it.”
Countess Magri, who is less than
three feet high ,is the tiniest lady in
the world, and married the count 31
years ago, after the death of her first
husband, Gen. Tom Thumb, and she
says there is not a happier couple in
all New England. The countess , has
been before the public for sixty years,
traveling around the world a score of
times in that period. The count is
slightly taller than his diminutive
wife, and so she calls him her “big”
husband.
As a special favor, the guests of
honor played several musical selec
tions for the guests at the anniversary
party.
