NUMBER OF INSANE FROM
NORTH STEADILY DECREASING
During the past two years there has
been a decrease of approximately 37
per cent in the number of insane per
sons sent from Alaska to the sani
tarium a tMorningside, Portland, Ore-!
gon, where such unfortunates are
cared for, according to official statis
tics prepared at the Governor’s office
.n Juneau.
In the fiscal year ending June 30,
1020, there were 55 commitments to
the sanitarium from Alaska. During
the past fiscal year, which ended June
30, last, there were 34. Virtually all *
of the decrease was accounted for in
the First and Third divisions, it was <
said.
Health inspections made by United !
States public health authorities in the |
States, and greater care taken by sal- |
mon packers in the calibre of labor
employed by them in the south, are
believed by Governor George A. Parks
to be the main factors in the improve
ment shown.
During the past two years, under
agreement with the Territorial health
department, physicians of the public
health service have made physical ex
aminations of cannery employes hired
in the States for work in Alaska dur
ing the salmon packing season. This <
has not only weeded out the physical- |
ly defective and diseased, but it has,, g
it is said, resulted in the employment
bureaus of the companies a higher
average class of workmen.
The fact that the decrease in the |
total number of insane patients was j
entirely in the First and Third divi- <
sions, where the. fishing industry is J
centered, it is pointed out, supports I
the theory advanced for the improved j
showing. j J
Lest Palm Beach Fail Him.
Barclay Warburton, the new mayor
of Palm Beach, told a story at the
Everglades Club.
“It’s astonishing,” he said, “how g
many New England farmers leave #
their ice-ribbed farms in the winter g
and come to Palm Beach to enjoy
themselves. We must see to it that
they get plenty of enjoyment.
“Some farmers were chewing to
bacco ’round stove in a New England
livery stable.
“ ‘So Abner Moss has gone to Palm
Beach!’ said a farmer with grey
whiskers. ‘Wonder if that’ll be
enough goin’ on down that to satisfy
him?’
“ ‘Be that’s it may,’ said a farmer
with white whiskers, ‘old Abe ain’t a
runnin’ no chances. He took his
checkers and checkerboard along.’ ” ■
Judge—Do you wish , to marry
again if you receive a divorce?
Liza—Ah should say not. Ah

tion.
