The Great Pueblo

ALBUQUERQUE, N. M., Mar. 16 — Since yesterday was T-Day, midmost point of the giv-ing-it-all-back moon, I wish to make a powerful plea. I want our red brethren—Indians, not Communists—to send a. mission to investigate the white man, with a view of taking him over. I want to be adopted. I want a Great Red Father.to come look after me.

This careful decision comes as a result of investigating the Navajos, about whom we wept and rent our garments some time back. I will get around to the Navajos later this week, but right now I want to plead the case of that pitiful aboriginal, R. Ruark, trapped in the wilder. ness of the richest, most powerful, most enlightened nation on earth. Oh Red Brothers, when I am 2 two-storied hogahn, or duplex 54th St. in the Great Pueblo, called in our tongue, New York. We bought the pueblo from some of your people for a cask of hooch and some glass beads, and I still think you fellows outswapped us. ’ The weather in that pueblo is frightful, Chief, In winter the snow is girdle deep to a tall squaw, and the village's council tries unavailingly to clean it up with a primitive whiskbroom and dustpan. In winter you see us at our most pitiful, Brother, for our gasoline ponies are mired in the snow, and the braves who, venture abroad to neighboring villages, such as Brooklyn and Jackson Heights, are found stiff and stark when the thaws come. * Life is dreary in my hogahn. The fireplace does not draw, and the hogahn is filled with

coal smoke and janitors. Coyotes—paying guests y

Subway Squaws With Hatlpins THE ELECTRIC blanket short-circuits and we shiver through the night, unable to sleep because of the terrifying cries of local beasts called cab drivers, who have horns which emit a bloodchilling noise, and who scream strange war cries at each other. In our underground trails, called subways, the squaws are armed wjth hatpins and umbrellas, and the braves are forever on

James Merrell said he wasn’t taking any notes. “I can work better when I sit and pay attention if Pm to remember later on,” he whispered. “I think,” was the follow-up. If James could remember better by looking he was better off. I noticed several students having trouble writing in the darkness. The scramble to see what had been written and to write madre, always came at the end of a scene when the house lights came on. “I'm taking notes but I don't see what there is to write about,” I heard come from someone down the line. “What do you say when you like the play?” The question drew several comments. “Say you like the play,” was one. “It isn't necessary to write only bad things about a play,” was 330iner. I'd say they were starting on the right oot. On the other side of the theater I finally found the students from Technical. The house lights dimmed and I lost sight of Richard Frazer, Lawrence Deutsch, Patricia Madison, Edward Otting, Jack Carroll, Stefan Stefanovich and Teggy Gammage. I even lost sight of the note-

We are sore oppressed in ‘the market place, Brothers, no bacon falls beneath our bows unless we are armed with $100 bills, and the salami withers in the delicatessen, because of a great famine in the fiscal fields, our hens lay eggs of pure gold, Brother—too valuable to eat and toe fragile to adorn the necks of our women.

Dirty Dollars

By Frederick C. Othman

WASHINGTON, Mar. 16—Talk about your filthy lucre! It is so filthy, Secretary of Treasury John Snyder is ashamed of it. Particularly dollar bills, ; t If you ‘have any of those unclean crumples of paper when the tax collector finishes with You, maybe you better send ‘em to me. I'll burn ’em—or something.

Mr. Snyder didn’t say anything about money being the root of all evil; nor did he suggest that it was the source of disease. He told the House. Appropriations Committee ®&imply (with a wrinkling of his secretarial nose) that this nation has got to clean up its money. This is going to take money. : So he sent E. L. Kirby, his commissioner of the public debt, up to Congress with a typical sheaf of 100 one-dollar bills. So dirty you almost could see the germs. ois “Stocks of new dollars are at an alarmingly low level,” Mr. Kirby said. “Things got so bad last fall that he had to tell the Federal Reserve Banks to quit burning the dirty money and leave it in circulation a while longer. They did so. Day by day the money got dirtier and more ragged and Mr, Kirby said if Congress kindly would appropriate the proper sum he'd lay in a good supply of special paper with silk threads in it to let it age. “Age?” demanded Rep. Gordon Canfield of

The Longer It Ages— OH, YES, replied Mr. Kirby. It turned out that money is something like'whisky. The longer "it ages the better it gets.. Or at least tougher. ; The Congressmen called in A. W. Hall, the director ot the Bureau of Printing and Engraving. He said he was in good shape to print the stuff, if he got the paper. His machinery is in excellent shape. His 6057 employees are in fine fettle, and conditions have been such that he’s been doing a little custom money printing for such folks as

the Filipinos, Siamese and Cubans. Been turning a nice little profit (in dirty dollars), too. While the lawmakers were about it, they asked Mrs. Nellie Tayloe Ross, the director of the Bureau of the Mint, to tell ’em how she was getting along with nickel and dime manufacture. Mrs. Ross had a problem.

For reasons unknown to her, the people aren't using as many coins as they used to. They're wearing out the folding money, but they're sneering at her new dimes. So she has 800 million coins in stock now. She only intends to make 800 million more next year, and maybe this is a good thing. -

Coin Machines All But Wrecked

ALL DURING the war and for a year after she said she kept the machinery in her mints stamping out coins 24 hours a day seven days a week, *

“You can imagine what that has done to the machinery,” said Mrs. Ross, who used to be Governor of Wyoming and who since has become widely known as one of the best housekeepers in the government. “A good deal of it has been all but wrecked, by never being allowed to cool.” She’d like a little‘ of that folding money to buy some new presses, but she told the Congressmen she had an excellent stock of raw material, about $22.7 billion worth of gold (for which she hasn’t much use) and two billion ounces of silver, for which she has.

In addition she has an adequate stock of copper and nickel. Most of the copper, she said, goes into quarters and half-dollars to make ‘em hard. She doesn’t need much at the moment for pennies, The trouble seems to be that a penny isn’t much good for anything but short-circuiting a fuse. : * I suppose the safety boys will spend three more’ pennies to write me a letter saying 1I shouldn't have mentioned it.

said pupils have taken more personal interest in the course than any other study because it involves problems closest to their everyday life at present. Another spur to enthusiasm of classes, one teacher said, was the study of statistics on the rising divorce rates which surprised all pupils into regarding the course as one of the most important in the schools. ‘ ” » » AIDING the school program besides the Indianapolis Social Hygiene Association with its parent-teacher study courses are the Indianapolis Church Federation and the Indiana Council on Family Relations. Surveys conducted by these groups disclosed a lack of trained personnel for marriage counseling and sex education work. They are predicting, however, that within a few years counselor service and study courses will be available to all people suffering mental confusion over the in-

Evidence That Plan Was Hazardous Parking in the center of the first block of Virginia Ave. will be

The City Council at its meeting last night passed a repealing ordinance by unanimous vote and city traffic officials will take down the parking signs after the measure is signed by Mayor Feeney. The unique parking regulation which permitted two lanes of

apolis shoppers. “In repealing the measure the council went on the recommendation of traffic officials who said the regulation was hazardous. An

instance was cited in which a General Hospital ambulance was delayed while trying to pass through the block. Firemen contended the extra parking would hinder them if they were called on to fight a fire in the block. An ordinance submitted to the council by Phillip L. Bayt, City contorller, would eliminate one $1560-a-year salary in the Barrett Law department and permit the controller to use $1000 of che salary to supplement other salaries in the department. The measure, if passed at next meeting, will permit the hiring of more efficient help in the department, Mr. Bayt said.
