Dak.—A breath from | the plains of the wild West of the days ©f Gen. Custer and the last of Indian fighting has risen to aid the promotion of a modern motor highway that now threads the land where skeletons once bleached. Included in the exhibits being taken on a 2,500-mile tour of the country in the Interest of Custer Battlefield High- way is & group of newly found pictures of the great Indian expedition of 1874. The highway stretches from Des Moines to Glacier National Park, where Custer's band pushed its way in the beginning of the last important Indian campaign in the winning of the West which ended, two vears later, in the massacre, at the Little Big Horn, that wiped out Custer and 300 followers.

Plans of the Merchants and Manu- facturers’ Association to award a plaque | each year to the business man or com- | pany making the greatest contribution to the business life or general welfare of Washington were announced yester- day by Edward D. Shaw, secretary. The custom will be inaugurated with selection of the outstanding individual or company soon after the close of the current year. The proposal was made originally by Gen. Anton Stephan. It was approved at a meeting of the board | of directors after a committee report | had been offered by Gen. Stephan. The directors also instructed Mark | Lansburgh, president, to write President | Hoover thanking him for the efforts he has made to have Congress pass the ' District appropriation bill and request- ing him to seek to have the conferees SCIENTIST "LOOKS™ INTO ATOM AND SEES HOW ELECTRONS LIE Negative Bits of Electricity Composing All .

Doctors said his spine was fractured and that he had been injured internally A large crowd at Sunnyside Beach witnessed the struggle of the jumper to control his parachute in a high wind which carried him over the city despite his efforts to make a landing on the lake shore among the spectators. At the hospital he blamed the acct- dent on the fact that he had jumped before the plane attained sufficient al- titude.
