CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON Aim to Make Indian Wise and Sedate The people who are paid salaries to civilize the Indian from swivel chairs in Washington are taking the high- brow portion of their responsibility as seriously as a laundry woman putting washed clothes through a wring- er. They have just announced that the last dregs of savagery are to be squeczed out of Lo. This sounds well as talk, but when the details of the announced policy are studied it looks a good deal like interference with the natural course of Indian evolu- tion. Association of the red man with the white has had a tremendous influence on diverting the Indian from his old savage and nemadic life. It has been possible also to get from the Indian schools results that stick, although the degree of improvement from this source has been disappointing, due to considerable degeneracy back into wild habits after the students of the schools have gone back to the tribal existence. This retrogression is be- coming less and less from year to year and it ought to continue receding, now that the Indian hds come into voting citizenship. What the Indian bureau is harping on is the tendency of the Indian to play showman. Commissioner C. S. Rhoades wants him kept out of rodeos and wild west shows and circuses. He is to be made dignified. It would be too bad if the bureau overdid this policy and stifled some of the activities which are but natural to the red men and for eradicating which abruptly there is neither urgent call nor due time now. In part the Indian must be left to the processes of evolution from contact, schooling, vocational training and transmu- tation of old instincts and customs into Caucasian traits. While the purpose of the bureau to shut down on the Indian's play does not sound so good, as it means the severance of bonds between the Indian and his pony and some of his tribal crafts, the program for better educa- tion has a more favorable ring. This education is to be of the vocational type. Perhaps the bureau will be able to make this schooling stick. It has been retained and put into practical use by many of the graduates of the old Carlisle school. On the Crow, Cheyenne, Sioux and Blackfoot reservations af Dakota and Montana there are splendid types of farmers and livestock men among the tribes. The bureau proposes to go beyond the training these Indians received and “to provide for the indigent, to assist him in finding and keeping a job, to increase the productivity of his land and to give him the advantages of modern organization and business methods to the end that we may hasten the day when he will be able to as- sume entire responsibility for caring for himself and his problems just as does his white neighbor.” Boosting the Highway The scheme for a great Pan-American highway, which would give motorists of Canada and the United States access by road to the countries of South America, will probably reccive material aid from the international road conference which will be held in Washington next fall. Already, it is announced, the U. S. bureau of public roads is preparing to open an office in Panama to advise Central American countries on the location of the road from the Mexican border to the isthmus The Mexican section will be completed before long, and South Ameri- can nations are displaying keen interest in the project. One can only hope that the whole proposition goes for- ward rapidly. The highway will be of immense import- ance to every country in the new world. Its construction will be one of the most notable events since the voyage of Columbus. Paying for the War A few years ago you heard quite a lot of talk about can- celing the war debts owed Uncle Sam, but they weren't canceled. Europe is still paying for the war, and will continue for many years. It is interesting to note that the semi-annual payments just made to the United States by foreign nations total $117,142,000. The greater part of this sum represents interest charges, $71,355,000. The rest, $45,787,000, was applied to reduction of the principal. England paid $66,290,000, all of which was interest. France reduced her principal by $35,000,000. Italy paid $5,000,000 and Belgium $4,825,000. Smaller sums were paid by Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Poland, Russia, Jugo- Slavia and the Baltic countries. This money helps reduce our national debt. That, at least, is consoling to every taxpayer. Projecting Another U. S. Empire The greatest engineering job projected in the Pacific Northwest has come to the stage of a technical report on the feasibilities of harnessing the Columbia river in the Big Bend country. Engineers after a year's survey have determined that 11,000,000 horsepower is possible of development as a byproduct of proposed reclamation of the country to the south and southwest of Spokane. The development will be difficult at points and will involve at least $500,000,000, engineers estimate. As far es irrigation goes, the sandy nature of the soil around Kennewick will be a big obstacle to getting efficient re- sults. The project was agitated in 1920, Congressman John W. Sommers, of Walla Walla, organized parties for trips over the area to be benefited and has ever since kept the Project more or less in the public eye. There is a splen- Gt fruit and wheat country in this section of Washing- ton and if it could be assured sufficient moisture it would almost feed the werld. Majoy J. 8. Butler, army engineer at Seattle, has studigd the river from the standpoint of Graining one-fourteefith of the area of the country. The plan under consideration is expected to provide the needed moisture and to distribute ‘it electrically. The area is semi-arid and much of it is thickly covered with Sage brush. The soil is rich. It is a natural breadbasket in that respect and would vie with the famous Eureka flats and the Palouse country if it were reclaimed by wa- ter. * As far as electrical development goes, there is a lack f'population along the course of the river to absorb that. The towns and cities are small in the area, But if the electricity could be carried to Portland and other cities and towns in western Washington and Oregon, a profitable market might be afforded. Spokane is a city of extensive electrical development, but in spite of that it has been unable to force its growth except at a nor- mal pace, consistent with the resources of the territory on which its trade and manufacturing are dependent and by which expansion is determined. Nevertheless, the project is an idea bound to be -put into effect some day and it is not too early to make the | start now. As population grows in the Northwest, espe- cially that portion abutting on or close to the Pacific coast, there is bound to arise a tremendous demand for the products of the Columbia country. Washington and Oregon are splendidly endowed with such great natural resources as timber. That alone could make an empire of the two states. Markets for the power and additional crops to be created by development of the stream have been studied, in addition to power and navigation sites, needs of irriga- tion and other related subjects. Construction of the first big power project on the Columbia already has begun—a’ $12,000,000 hydro-elec- tric plant at Rock Island, near Wenatchee. There pro- vision will be made for locks to carry freight boats of the future around the dam. sf Cure for Gangster Police Commissioner Mulrooney of New York has come forward with a suggestion whith, he believes, if put into Péactice would both put a halt to rampant crime in American cities and provide a valuable use for the nozthernmost reaches of Alaska. The commissioner is | quoted in the Golden Ecok magazine: “Gend the gangster caught carrying a gun, thus prov- ing his intention or willingness to commit murder, to some place just inside the Arctic circle, where he will do useful hard work for the rest of his life, and you will get results that no electric chair could give.” A West Virginia coai operator has urged the president to suspend radio broadcasting because in his belief it. has caused the drought. To be sure, the programs have been rather dry of late. Talking picture equipment is to be installed soon on 20@ of the navy's ships. Will it be proper to say now, when sailors leave port, that they're going out to seo? The Connecticut farmer who traded 75 acres of land for a radio set is thought to have done it to tune in on this farm relief program he’s heard so much about. Editorial Comment We Begin to ScrapeWarships (Minneapolis Journal) That the United States meant what it said about naval armament limitation at the London conference, the world may learn today from its decision to scrap three battle- ships a year before the date provided for in the treaty. Thus does Washington show its confidence in world Peace, in respect to this country’s security. Thus, too, the Hoover administration gives to Japan—which has not | yet ratified the London treaty—evidence of good faith by scrapping the allotted battleships eighteen months before Japan is required to retire its battle cruiser, whose relinquishment was for a time a minor obstacle to the conclusion of the treaty negotiations at London, Moreover, the United States thus beats Great Britain to her promised scrapping of five ships within thirty GOR PARTY tow? ome | Another Crop That App 2ars to Be Suffering! Today Is the Anniversary of MDS heeb litt mts LUCY STONE'S BIRTH On Aug. 13, 1818, Lucy Stone, a pio- neer American suffragist, and often referred to as “the morning star of the woman’s right movement,” was born in West Brookfield, Mass., the daughter of a farmer. As a girl she was considered “queer” because she ‘belived that woman was entitled to every social and political right enjoyed man. Bent on_ practising what she preached, Lucy traveled to Ohio to enter Obetlin, one of the first of America’s co-educational schools, to learn Hebrew and Greek in order to know at first hand whether the bib- lical texts quoted against the equal rights of women were true transla- tions. On graduation she gained the distinction of being the first Massa- oi chusetts woman to obtain a college degree. Following a tour of New England and Canada in which she lectured in behalf’ of the anti-slavery movement, she married Henry B. Blackwell. She maintained her maiden name with her husband’s consent, a custom which has gained in popularity since her death in 1893. During political campaigns she lectured for woman’s suffrage amendments and took the most prominent part in founding the American Woman's Suffrage Associ- ation, of which she later became president. 3 \ BARBS t — > Two men posing as plumbers robbed a Chicago woman of seyerat thousands dollars’ worth of jewelry.

And that will be the first time in history that Uncle Sam will have been in such a position. Chicago Gang Menace National Madison (Wis.) State Journal Further emphasis has been given of the lawlessness arising from Chicago gangdom by the bank robberies in this state. Armed bandits took away from the Stratford State Bank of Marathon county $12,000. Another gang obtained $1,000 at the Bank of Leopolis, Shawano county. There is little question that the robbers were members of the gangs that have obtained such a hold upon Chi- cago. They are daily extending the field of their out- lawry. Practically all the robberies that have occurred in Wisconsin during the past two years have been off- shoots of Chicago gangdom. - Wisconsin stands_in no different position from other neighboring states to Illinois. They are all suffering, as are the small cities in Illinois, from the depredations of men who are members of the protected crime and vice rings of Chicago. The robbers have made their raids and returned to the safe harbor Chicago has offered to criminals. . Chicagos crime is therefore a national menace. The People of outside states have a right to demand that Chicago be cleansed for their protection. So long as gangsters can find a safe refuge after their crime, in the large Illinois metropolis, no place in the United States is | safe from gangster depredations. A Publicity and Crime (Duluth Herald) Some people think that the ncwspapers ought not to print crime news. Altogether aside from the question of taste, which is largely for the reader to consider for himself, the fact is that publishing crime news is as much the public duty of a newspaper as any other field of news. That does not mean that a newspaper needs to relish this type of news or to handle it in a sensational man- | ner merely because it is crime. It does mean that proper | publicity is one of the most powerful deterrents to crime, | and often it is one of the strongest agencies in the detec- ton of criminals. | The recent case of three young robbers is in point. | They robbed{ a Duluth citizen, and it got printed. They robbed another, and that got printed. Then, after one of them had accidentally shot an- other in the leg, two of them were arrested in a Duluth hotel and their career of crime was stopped. i But if there had, been no publicity, those who told} the police that these guests with th> queer working hours were in the hotel wouldn't have known that robbers were at work, and they would not have been caught. Moreover, publicity of the fact that thieves are at, work puts householders and others on their guard. Whatever may be said of the taste that craves crime news, or of the newspaper—a rarer institution than many think—that specialic>s in crime news because it is sensational, the newspaper that suppresses the news of crime isn’t doing its duty to the public. Encouraging Non-Voting A new form of boycott calculated to nettle Britain has been evolved by the working committee of the All- India congress. The committee is appealing to the peo- ple to abstain from voting, and to prospective candidates to refrain from seeking office in forthcoming elections to the legislature. In one respect, the United States has pretty well at- tained the objective for which the nationalists of India are now striving. While candidates for office in this country can rarely be discouraged from seeking office, the American people do abstain from voting. Nor is a boycott needed to attain this end. Mere apathy suceseds in keeping about 50 per cent of the eligible voters away from the polls. If the boycott on the election booth fails in India, | both the nationalists and organizations seeking to get | out the American vote can be benefited by an exchange | | of tactics ‘The United States needs a boycott. on the neg- ligent voter.

She herself was leaving for Parts in the following week.

Heart-burn usually is only a symp- tom of acidity of the stomach which is to the left side of the body and presses almost directly under the heart. When the stomach is filled with a fermenting mass of food or where there is a large amount of in- flammation present there may be a burning feeling created in the upper part of the stomach which is referred to as “heart burn” because of the re- gion from which the pain is felt, and because the actual pressure of gas ee interference with the heart, self. . If you belch frequently just after eating, you may have eaten too much. Try cutting own the amount of food at one meal to half. This still may be too much, and it may be neces- sary to reduce the quantity. No stom- ach can take care of 15 or 20 separate articles of food, of which most dinners consist, without becoming tired. Too much gastric juice produces a hyperacidity which tends to inflame the lining of. the stomach and intes- tines. Such bad combinations as starches and acids, and meat and starches, must be avoided if one wishes to avoid heart-burn. Make your meals as simple as possible, using from two to four articles at a meal. Highly seasoned foods and condiments excite the flow of gastric juice, and more acids are thrown into the stom- ach than can be handled. Also, high-. ly seasoned food usually causes more food to be eaten than the body is naturally hungry for. One who continually mistreats the stomach with wrong articles of food will produce a chronic state of in- flammation that takes a long time to overcome. This inflammation is very apt to form ulcers if permitted to con- tinue. If you have been troubled with heart-burn, make note of the above points and change your methods of eating before the heart-burn leads to stomach ulcers, or before some heart disorder develops because of the great gas pressure created from hyperacid- ity of the stomach. ‘You can prevent heart-burn by not eating too much food, by avoiding bad combinations, by not eating when tired or worried, and avoiding the use of condiments, highly seasoned and rich foods. If you have regular periods of heart-burn, it is advisable for you to s J by CHELSEA HOUSE. flashed the {dea that it would be a great satisfaction to cut him dead; but almost instantly another thought came to her, just as defi- nite. In some wey she had so to order her life that Alan Steyne must know that she could never have any part in his. How to do this better than by resuming her friendship with Mr. Punch? So, instead of cutting Bruce Gid- eon dead, she smiled at him. “I hear you are going to Paris after all, Miss Judy,” he said. “Yes, I changed my mind,” Judy said. “I am more than glad,” he an- swered very politely. “You may walk with me to diggings,” she said. “I'll tell y all about it. I'm going to pay you back.” “I have been paid back,” he re- plied. “Wyon and I went through everything yesterday.” “Oh, no—there’s a lot more to come!” “As you like,” he said. “Any- thing, as long as you don’t punish the world at large for what I did.” “Rubbish!

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Acid Stomach Question: Mrs. A. W.

The cure lies in following correct food combinations, cutting down the amount c: food eaten, and avoiding an excess of sugar and starches. The most reliable test is made with a test meal, after which a stomach pum) 1s used and the contents of the .iomach emptied. “The physician making this test can then determine whether or not there is an excess of acidity. . Bread and Anemia Question: E. B. writes: “I am very anemic ard somewhat overweight and have an exceptionally good appe- tite which is almost impossible to satisfy. If I miss a meal I become faint and dizzy. I am sure that my system requires white bread. Do you think that under the circumstances white bread is injurious? I have tried different kinds of coarse breads and muffins, but nothing seems to take its place. Answer: If you are anemic and overweight you should avoid all bread until your weight and blood count has reached normal.

Lina Basquette in Attempt at Suicide Los Angeles, Aug. 13—(@)—Lina Basquette, stage and film actress and widow of Sam Warner, motion pic- ture executive, was treated for a slight case of poisoning at the Receiv- ing hospital late last night after po- lice said she admitted a suicitie at- tempt. Miss Basquette was registered at the hospital as “Eleanor Copeland,” but later admitted her identity, police said, after her maid, Irene Zastro, had broken down under questioning and given her employers’ true name. Police surgeons found the actress had not been seriously poisoned and later released her to her personal home.
