CANADA'S WHITE ESKIMOS
etr,anas. Fierce Habits of Humorote,
Northern Dwellers Described
After passing three years In the
Arctic regions, George H. Wilkins. an
Australian who was a member of the
Stetaneson Expedition, arrived in
England with a choice selection of
stories about the so-called "Blonde
Eskimos" with whom he lived a con-
siderable time. "The Blonde Eskimos,"
he said, "are quite untouched by West-
ern civilisation. and their habits and
customs are essentially primitive.
They are not a long-lived rade, and
fifty years 1s perhaps the normal span.
Human lite is very little valued
amongst them. and what civilized
people class as murder 1s regarded as
a more or fess harmless eccentricity."
Visiting a camp where he had made
friends with an Eskimo a few months
before and not finding him, Mr. Wil-
kins Inquired after his health. He
was told that the man was dead, and
the manner of his death was this.
One day the Eskimo came across a
member of the tribe fashioning a knife
out of the native copper which Is
found in this region. He chaffed him,
It appears, on his want of skill. "Yon
don't know the first thing about mak-
Ing • knite,".be said, in effect. The
artificer said nothing until he bad
finished his work, when, remarking
think it 1s a pretty good knife,"
be plunged 1t into the breast of the
critic. The Esktmoe have a keen
sense of humor, and this incident was
much appreciated.
There to a ceremony of marriage
among three Eskimos. but apparently
the number of a man's wives Is limited
may by his capacity to support the.
'Pb. regular price for a wife 1s a rife
or 13 months' hard labor 1n the ser-
vice of the prospective bride's family.
It L only rarely that a rifle can be
obtained from the Indiam to the south.
and the price paid for 1t. 1n skins,
dally represents a year's activity
hunting. Some of the more opulent
)bekimoe possess three wives. One 1s
chosen for her personal attractions,
another for her prowess as a hunter
and fisher, while the third does the
.housework.
WHEN MOTOR CAR RATTLES
How best to Locate Troubles and Cure
Them
There are many unpleasant noises
beard when the motor car 1s In oper-
ation and which may be remedied
without very mach trouble. A hood
rattle 1s most annoying and usually
L caused by the holding down device
baying loose springs. There are so
many different types of hood fasteners
that specific instructions cannot here
be given, but it will be worth the
owner's trouble to Investigate this
Small part and determine hist how the
esters be made to hold the
mors firmly to place. Door rat -
lies and floorboard hums are easily
removed by using felt Inserts and,
although these soon become compres-
sed and the noise returns, they oop-
atttnte a good temporary remedy.
Tools under the front seat often rattle,
giving rise to the belief that some part
bt the car la causing tt.
Cause of Engine Noise
A ei'tuse of engine noise sometimes
Sot suspected by the motorist Is the
slepping of worn pistons, which, of
course. Is likely to occur only when
the engine has been run a long time
and the cylinders and pistons are
considerably worn. The lateral
thrust of the connecting rods rocks
the pistons.
