Peter Wais| k proudest branch of pewa tribe, is dead, Waiskas, who was 78, carried with him to his grave the pride of race that made his forefathers outstanding among the varions Indian bands na tive to the Great Lakes district. His death was causcd by exposure to the cold, an element at which he scoffed in former v A Tribe's History. The Waiskas inhabited the region now known Bay Mills and the Waiska river and bay district in Chip- pewa county when the white mis- sionaries pushed their way into the wilderness. The tribe, with its cen- turies old pride, looked with disfavor upon the white man, who came and cleared the lands, then brake them with the plow. Peter Waiska until the last maintained the same feellng of hostili as befitted the final sur- vivor of his race. His friends say his melancholy increased year by year as he saw the for dwindle and d pear and the face of the land change from a wilderness to a manufacturing and farming district. Died in Forest. At 4 o'clock on the morning of his ast day of life Peter walked alone far into the country until he reached the forest. He sat beneath a tree and meditated upon the fate that had be- fallen hLis people. The cold finally ov- ercame him and he sank into a slum- ber from which he did not awaken.

(Assocl- ated Press.) Only a complete, care- ful census of the survivors would reveal the exact toll in human ilves of the Volga famine of 1921-1922, but, terrible as has been the death rate during the ghastly winter just ending, it is now clear to the ob- server that the great majority of the population has, some way or another, managed to live through it. Estimates and predictions made last summer, that 5,000,000; 10,000, 000 or even 15,000,000 of the Volga valley's population would dic before spring unless fed from abroad, and that several millions would die re- gardless of the assistance then being rushed toward them, are not borne out by the evident facts that con- fronted the correspondent in a fort- night's trip through some of the worst affected districts at the worst period of the famine. In some villages farthest removed from the railways, where cannibal- ism has in some cases been resorted to by the hunger-desperate popula- tion and the general suffering has almost unimaginable to the western mipd, the death srate has been 30.40 and even as high 65 per cent of the population. Famine such as this, however, has been the exception, rather than the rule, in Samara province. Doubtless many thousands would have died in every ‘volost,” or county, had not American and other aid been at hand for the children. The Soviet government as well as foreign organ- izations has assisted the local peasant authorities and has doled out its meager store of food in the com- munes which needed it most. But it now appears that it was the very nature, physical and mental, of Samara, Russia, the Volga peasant that enabled him to live through a year of stomach- gnawing hunger that would have taken much heavier toll’ among a population less inured to hardships from childhood. . Hundreds of thousands of them have died in Samara province which, before the famine, had a population of 2,700,000, Perhaps the death rate has been 10 or even 15 per cent, majority of the peasant stomachs have digested the clay, grass, weeds and other bread sub- stitutes. Even from the worst-stricken villages, the peasants who came to the railway stations driving camels, horses and oxen attached to sleighs to be laden with food for their children, as a whole appeared ruddy, strong and even smiling after a six — in a week and in the graveyard in a fortnight. Some of them, more canny than the others, doubtless had saved:and hidden real grain to last them through the winter, but the major- ity of those living underwent the ages-old test of the survival of the physically fittest and were, helped ADAMSON'S ADVENTURES month's diet of atrocious bread sub- |through it by their fatalism that stitutes that would have put an|taught them not to worry over their American city dweller in a hospital |trouble: , ()wmfimfincs OUSEWIVES everywhere say that Congoleum Rugs are the ideal, waterproof floor covering for kitchens for they can be freely mopped or washed.
