INDIAN WOMEN
GET MESSAGE
OF SYMPATHY
LONDON, Jan. ^5 (Correspondence
of the Associated Press).—Deep sym
pathy for the women of India and in
terest in steps taken for their ad
vancement are voiced by Queen Mary
in a message she has sent to all
women of the Indian empire. The
queen also paid tribute to the Indian
women for the part they played in
urging their husbands, sons and
brothers to render faithful service in
the war. Queen Mary wrote:
“A short time ago I sent a message
of thankfulness and hope to the wo
men of the empire. I wish now to add
to it a special message to the women
of India. If my words are brief and
simple, they are from the heart.
“I know that by the custom of their
country and the time-honored tradi
tions -by which they are reverently
bound, the women of India are for the
most part prevented from undertak
ing those public and industrial task^
which their sisters in other parts of
the empire, when the man-power of
the country went forth in its defense,
were able to discharge. In the seclu
sion and solitude of their homes the
women of India have had to bear the
bitterness of partings, to suffer be
reavement and privation, to live
through days and months of doubt and
anxiety, in ignorance of the fortunes
of the war, and without tidings of
their absent ones.
“Reports have reached me from
many sources of their fortitude and
endurance during the strain of the
war which have filled me with admira
tion and gratitude. Many have done
more than this. I have heard of let
ters from -Indian women to husbands,
sons, and brothers with the forces,
abroad, exhorting them to be brave
in battle, stout-hearted in adversity,
faithful to their country and the
throne to the point of death. The
history of India is full of the heroism
and courage of its women in the past.
The war has shown that their spirit
fs unabated.
"The women of India are equally
noted for their charity and compas
sion. I know how deeply they have
been moved by the desolation which
the war has brought into many house
holds, and how ready they have been
to provide relief for the sick and
wounded, and to lighten the privations
of their poorer neighbors.
“I rejoice to think'that many influ
ences are at work which make for the
greater well-being and advancement
of the women of India. I watch with
the deepest interest and sympathy
every step that is taken to bring the
means of education and knowledge
more within their reach, to provide
greater facilities for their obtaining
proper medical relief through the
agency of their own sex iif women’s
hospitals or in the privacy of their
own homes, to widen their interests
and activities, and to secure to them
the adequate protection of the law.
“I wish, with all my heart, that
every success may crown these ef
forts.”
FREIGHT BY AIRPLANE
FOR TEXAS OIL FIELDS
DALLAS, Tex, Feb. 12 (by Associ
ated Press).—Financial success or
failure in thainew Texas oil fields so
often depends upon being first to
reach a certain point* that the air
plane may become a common means
of lofcomotion among oil men, ac
cording to big dealers. The airplane
was used recently by officers of two
oil companies to hurry from Ranger
to a new found field.
Officers at Barron field, the govern
ment flying field here, say it will be
only a shdrt time before airplanes are
in general commercial use in the oil
fields, because of their speed and the
adaptability of the country for flying
purposes.
The Barran field authorities esti
mate that it costs the government
$50 an hour to keep a plane in the
air, but that the oil men could oper
ate a machine for $40 an hour. Good
pilots could be selected at not pro
hibitive salaries from among the
hundreds graduated by the War De
partment in the last year. ,,

Along the Pacific northwest coast
residents think nothing of roses and
other flowers in bloom almost through
— imt the winter, but Juneau has had a
mild sensation this winter of seeing
pansies bloom in the open air.

UNALAKLEET NATIVES
BUILD THEIR OWN SHIPS
Alaska's Eskimo shipyard at Unala
kleet, «ear»St. Michaels, has not yet
found a way of turning out boats that
will not shrink, according according
to reports.
The Twins, a product of the yard,
has resorted to sacks, cans and rags
to keep the water out. The Wasp,
another boat turned out at Unalakleet,
foundered some time ago when a
storm opened her seams.
All the boats built at Unalakleet
are made of native lumber. Ttye yard
turns out good looking boats. When
The Twins dropped anchor, fresh
from the yard several years ago,
many white men skilled in the work
of building boats, expressed their ad
miration for the native workmanship.
The Twins is a veteran of the ran
between Alaska and Siberia. It is
owned by three Siberian natives. The
three pile in all their relatives and
friends every spring and bring them
to Nome, where they spend the sum
mer camping. In the fall, just before
the ice closes in, they take their load
back to Siberia.
