But Blood -and - Thunder, Tomahawk-Wielding Tales Supplanted. Indians still hold the center of the in the reading of the younger generation. . Like their predecessors, the pres-ent-day children have a primitive and youthful enthusiasm of stories of the red mw, according to reports from the Riley room of the central library. But the locale has changed. No longer are the blood-and-thunder. tomahawk-wielding Indian tales of the pioneering frontiers offered to children. Th£ stories are now given a modern setting and told about little Indian children of today. Last year the'story of a Navaho Indian boy, Waterless Mountain, by Laura Adams Armer, won the Newbery medal as the outstanding children’s book. This year a popular Indian story is ‘ The Fack Train Steamboat,” by Margaret L. Thomas. It is a Peruvian tale whose plot centers about the construction of the first steamer to navigate the waters of remote Lake Titicaca, the highest lake in the world. A small Indian lad helps carry the parts of the steamer across a narrow mountain path over the Andes. The steamer, originally constructed in England, is brought by ship and then by pack train to this lake In South America with every piece marked and numbered for reconstruction. Other Indian stories which the public library recommends as interesting and suitable for children's reading are “Juan and Juanita,” by F. C. Baylor; “The Dragon Fly of Zuni.’ by Alida Malkus; “The Eagles Nest, by Isis Harington, and “The Navaho Indian Book,” by Dane Coolidge. These stories are available at the central library or through branch libraries throughout the city.

Spirit Helps “The Spirit of ’76” has done a lot to help patriotism in this country, but it remained for “The Spirit of ’7B*’ to help in arithmetic. "The Spirit of ’7B” is an airplane, made by pupils In the 3B class at School 78, Vermont street and Sherman drive. After making the body from a long, slender packing box, and the propeller and rudder from heavy cardboard, the pupils called upon their learning in arithmetic to measure, and cut the paper needed to cover the ship. Now “The Spirit” hangs in the class room, and the pupils agree that it always must be “on the up and up.”
