Africa'* liigheHt Beak
There is a mountain in Africa only
about three degrees south of the
equator which wears a perpetual cap
of onow. This is Mt. Kilimanjara,
a peak of 20,000 feet in what was
formerly German East Africa.
So strange was the story of this
phenomenon, a mountain "lifting its
alien snows to heaven from the heart
of the tropical fervors," as Bayard
Taylor expressed it, that for long
years it was doubted, in spite of the
fact that it was first reported by a
missionary. But in 1 HO 1 a German
exj.l rt r and .scic..L.o.., na.l niii dor
breken, confirmed the report. After
that several expeditions were sent to
study the mountain, a >d many efforts
were made to climb it. The snow
line is reached ut 11,000 feet, aad
there rno?t of the climbers stopped.
But 40 years after its discovery it
was conquered, by two Germans.
Since then it has been climbed several
times, this year even by an English
woman. This, the highest mountain
in Afriea, is now in the British Tanganyika
district.
The International Advertising association,
is sending out 250,000 invitations
to business executives in all
parts of the country to attend a convention
and advertising exposition to
be held in Detroit, Mich., July K to 12.

corporation, is chairman of the committee

V\V were an anchor when I awoke.
When I went on deck I aaw that the
schooner wa. lying some distance out
>n a broad atrearn. The aouth shore,
heavily covered with spruce* and cottonwoodn,
rose ateeply. Through the
trees 1 could see a number of building*.
two or three quite large, along
the edge of the plateau. That was
Noorvik, in the Eskimo country, say*
a writer in the I>earborn Indei>endent.
We rowed ashore in the dory. We
followed the path beside a tramway
which led from the landing place up
he slope to the village. Although
still quite early, the sun was high,
for we were north of the Arctic circle
and it was July. By the time wo
reached the plateau we were bathed
in perspiration. It was not only hot
hut humid. At every step we were
met by fresh swarms of mosquitoes
which buzzed and hummed about our
heads in impotent rage, baffed by the
all-enveloping nets we wore. We
halted at a quite modern cottage.
A splendid breakfast had been prepared
for us and the climb up the hill
had prepared us for it. Becauae of
the heat we were invited to eat in our
ahirt sleeves.
Breakfast over, we followed our
host, Mr. Chance, outside to see the
village. N'oorvik means "transplanted."
Some nine or ten years ago representatives
of the United States department
of education in the district
became aware that the Kskimos in
certain places along the south shore
of Kotzebue sound were becoming de?
moralized by contact with whites and
they devised the plan of a model village
exclusively for Eskimos.
11} pi esidential proclamation
area of about 225 square miles was
net aside on the Kobuk river some
40 miles above its mouth. It was a
timbered region and the bureau of
education supplied a small sawmill
outfit which the natives soon learned
to operate. They cut lumber to build
cottages for themselves and also for
the teachers' residence, hospital,
church and school. Eventually the
village provided homes for some 300
people.
A small electric light plant was installed
by means of which the natives
were able to light their houses at an
average cost of 75 cents a month.
^ No whites were allowed in the settlement
aside from the teachers and
the doctor and nurse at the hospital.
The natives have organized their own
cooperative store which acts as *
clearing house for all the financial
transactions of the commuaity. The
stock is owned entirely by Eskimos
and a natuv manager is employed on
salary. So far the store has shown a
good profit each year, besides rendering
to the people a service such as
could not have been' duplicated by
white traders.
There ary reasons other than good
management for the success of Noorvik.
Most of the Eskimos in Alaska
live along the coast where the land is
open tundra. What wood they have1
drifts in from the sea and is never
sufficient to heat large houses.
Therefore their homes consist largely
"f holes burrowed into the sides of
bills, roofed over with drift logs and
sods. These are heated by lamps
burning seal oil. For the sake of
economy they are generally small
and crowded. N'oorvik being in h
timbered area, is well supplied witmaterial
for building substantial
rame or log houses and with fuel to
neat them. It is a good region fogame;
and on the tundra a few miles
distant the natives run reindeer.
Obviously a higher scale of living is
possible here than along the coast.
H e were able to see the contrast at
the village of N'apakiagamute, Hoopl'r
noar one the mouths of the
ukon river. N'apakiagamute consists
of about 15 or 20 dugout* and
tic home of some 200 natives. The
uts are abdut ten feet square at the
base and Jlope upward to an opeuin about
two feet square in the roof.
Loading to the entrance proper is an
aUyway of poles so low that one has
a;most to crawl on hands and knees.
On entering ami becoming accustomed
;to the gloom, sleeping platorm*
ard seen on two sides of the
hut. In the center is a fireplace. All
around on the rafters are hung dried
hsh. Other fish are piled in heaps ir
the corners.

NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING
Is Recognized by Experts as the Most
Effective.
We are "lifting" an editorial this
! week. It is reprinted from Greater
Amusements, Minneapolis, While the
| following editorial was written from
la showman's angle; it applies to
I every business:
It is a recognized fact by all experts
that newspaper advertising is
the most effective and most essential
of all the forms of publicity that
have been developed. Stunt advertising,
trick exploitation and other
forms of attention arresters have
??r?
their place in the general scheme, if
they are properly handled. But they
must have for their foundation a
solid, sensible newspaper advertising
campaign.
This is true primarily because, to be
effective, advertising must be sincere
and must create desire. Stunt advertising
certainly lacks sincerity. When
I attention is focused upon an object by
! means of a trick no great amount of
confidence can be placed in the object.
This form of advertising develops familiarity
with names, titles or the object
advertised but no desire is created
aad the element of sincerity is in most
cases entirely lacking.
According to statistics, newsptpo
are read by 78 per cent, of every col
munity. It is a member of I
family, it has the confidence and
spect of its readers. It reflects
