I had no appointment with them, but I read they were to be at the Public Library. I had no ticket and no way of got- ting one. So I just took my scissors and my little piece of black , paper and my best smile and started’ out “To the first patrolman, who stopped me on the steps, I gaid, ‘I'm Beatrix Shorman,’ and 1 was! going to offer to do a silhouette of him, but ho just smiled and waved me in¥ide.

By Neal R. O'Hara ‘The Press Publishing Co, (The New York Byening World.) D. 1919 ain't the first year we Americans painted our faces, wore as few clothes as possible and gave up everything we.owned for booze, Back in the sixteenth century the Indiané beat us to it in all three specifications. And they called ‘em uncivilized and wild! Smart set of to-day that wear scanty clothes, paint their faces and give anything for booze are still called wild, but they pass as civilized. Columbus may have been the guy to see America first, but the In- dian introduced all the styles, It wasn’t such a tough old life for the redskins. They had plenty of whiskey, no sugar shortage and lived wherever they pleased. When an Indian wanted a new apartment he got a pleco of cloth and tossed it around,a tripod of twigs. If he wanted a couPle of extra rooms the wife lent him her petticoat for the-day- A young redskin started hit married Hfe with only three poles and some cloth to pugover em. Which was all P. T. Barnum had when he finished! When a big chief wanted to stir his demi-tasse \he dida’t stand in line for a handful of sugar. You bet he didn’t—he simply tapped a neighboring thaple tree and got enough sugar to sweeten the coffee and sprinkle the doughnuts. Them was the days when the syrup came from maples instead of Hoboken, . When it came to licker the Injuns were ahead of time. They traded Manhattan Island for two quarts of whiskey and got trimmed. If they'd waited till 1919 it might have been a good bargain, but the 1654 deal was raw. Indians should have got two quarts more, Still, Manhattan was awful dry in the old days— dry and dull. That was before Hendrik Hudson established the day Mne and long before Fulton tried to sail up to Albany with- out ufing wing. And in those old dayr Tammany was just an Indian, but very much alive and kicking. To-day Tammany's dead but still kicking. A guy had to dig for his money in Indian days. Clamshells . were dough and the seashore was the national treasury. There was/a fortune in clams-on-the-half-shell then, same as there is now, ‘ And the Indians always liked to @ght. When a war was going to break.they’d put on‘a new coat of paint, the way the battleships do now. Trouble with the redskins, though, was that they ALL wanted.to go to war. And as soon as a nice scrappy war was declared Indian government had to draft guys\to stay at home. \ Aborigines also started the dance craze. Could dance with or without moving their feet. Barefoot dancing heloggs to ’em, too, They'd dance before going to war and after coming from war—except when the wars came so thick a few dances had to be omitted. One thing you can say for the Injuns, though—they massacred their enemies instead of thelr dancey ner furs were something the Indians discovered. summer furs were cheap for the redskins. They only cost a buck—that is, only cost a buck his life. When the Injun took off his summer furs he didn’t have mach else on—which ain't at all different from 1919. Wise old tribesmen believed woman's place as in the home—where all the work wi ily time the squaws got equal rights was when the whole tribe starving. Squaws got as much food as the men folks THEN—provided there wasn't any food at all, Injun women didn’t care to vote, but on moving days the redskins let ‘em carry the poles—tent poles. When it came to elections the Injuns picked a chief. And the old boy “that always headed the ticket was Sit- ting Butl. Injun politics weren't so different from our own kind either. The bull is still winning all the elections. . Price of meat never bothered ‘em in 1620. Injuns fought the H. C. L. without Armour and shot down their table d’hotes on the hoof. There were no game laws in those days—not even against crap shooting. When a dead-broke redskin wanted a meal all he had to do was shoot a deer. If a guy that’s dead broke wants a meal to- day @e’s gotta shoot six nat- urals in succession—in spite of the game laws. Indians to-day can’t complain of the way they're treated.
