"Canned" Indian Songs m in --- 1 WASHINGTON. Geoffrey O'Hara, recently appointed by the interior department at Washington to record the tribal songs and music of all American Indians, began his work in New York city the other day by taking his first phonographic records of the songs of the Blackfeet Indians from Glacier National park, Mont. Secretary of the Interior Lane took advantage of the Blackfeet Indians being in New York. He sent Mr. O'Hara on to New York from Washington to begin his laborious task with these Indians. Mr. O'Hara is having them sing into phonographs and the records will be brought to this city to be put in the government archives, preserving for all time the music of the original Americans.

Defendants in Court "Demonstrate" Innocence

NC. HARPER, clerk of the police court, reading charges of disorderly conduct to Harry Johnson and Charles O'Connor, knowing that the charge of "cursing and swearing" was generally contained in such information, included these words: "How do you plead, guilty or not guilty?" Mr. Hp.rper demanded. No answer. To facilitate the business of the court, Bailiff Hopkins went close to the men and asked them in a low tone whether they were 4isorderly or not at the time mentioned in the paper. But he received no answer. "Are you guilty or not?" Mr. Harper asked, in a polite, but somewhat louder tone than he had used before. Still no answer. After some confusion, Policeman Brennan, who arrested the men, was called, and explained to the court that the men were both deaf and dumb. "How could these men be 'cussin' and swearin' if they can't talk?" thecourt demanded. "They weren't, your honor," Brennan responded, "but in spite of that they sure were having a hot time up on Seventh street Saturday night. I

Why Mrs. Townsend's Great Dane Was Lonesome

THERE is a splendid great Dane In Washington, who is also a bit distrait, and inclined to be lonesome because he cannot realize the perfectly-at-home feeling, which makes dogs of high and low degree at ease with the world, and utterly content. He belonged to M. Constantin Brun, the minister from Denmark, who presented him to Mrs. Townsend, and the great Dane was introduced to one of the most magnificent homes in Washington, shown every attention, and given every luxury that the most ambitious dog in the world could dream of. But he was not happy, and began calling upon the people across the street, at first only occasionally, and then twice a day, once spending the Daniels Gathers Eggs; SECRETARY of the Navy Daniels the other day disclosed the fact that he keeps at his country place near Washington some ninety chickens, that yield him every day twenty eggs, and he thereby put himself in line for a lot of trouble. For when Secretary of State Bryan, who keeps a riding horse by the name of Rex, but who owns no chickens, r.eard about his colleague's wealth, he made the proposal that Mr. Daniels ouht to divide those fresh eggs annng the other members of the cabinet. Mr. Daniels has not yet been heard from on the proposal, but the general opinion is that if the secretary of state wants any of the eggs from the Daniels chicken coop, he will have to mount his horse Rex some morning before daybreak and ride out and get them himself. Secretary Daniels said incidentally that he is opposed to having the clerks of the government departments report at S o'clock, because it would necessitate his making his morning rounds to gather eggs at least an hour earlier each day. Mr. Daniels allows himself to be an hour later than the clerks of his department, but makes

to Be Placed in Archives

The Indians have been singing to the phonographs under the direction of Mr. O'Hara. The Indians could hardly grasp the idea at first of how they could sing into a tin horn and thereby record their music. After the first song had been sung, however, the reproduction was given them in a few minutes and the magic of tho operation was bewildering to them. Mr. O'Hara is arranging to visit Glacier National park early this summer and complete hi3 records of the Blackfeet tribe there. Through the interior department arrangements were made to take these records privately in New York in an out-of-the-way loft. There is one song in particular which the Glacier Park Indians sing, in which musical critics find considerable merit. This is a song descriptive of the Blackfeet Indian's v love of hi3 home environment. Big Top, the Indian interpreter, says: "My people always sing this song, because when they go away from the mountains their hearts are lonely, and it makes them think of home, sweet home." guess they wen't do it any more, though. One of them wrote me a note to that effect" After Mr. Harper wrote out the charge of disorderly conduct, not including profanity, for them, they both gave a nod, indicating they were guilty. After hearing the testimony, and on the recommendation of the policeman, Judge Pugn took their personal bonds. This is a legal form which requires that the clerk read a certain formula to the prisoners whose personal bonds are taken, after which he is allowed to go free, and the last check on the laughter of the large Monday crowd in court was removed when the clerk had to conform to this- requirement. greater part of the forenoon, audi again staying: two or three bourns in the afternoon. Finally he went back in the evening, and. guests arriving for a dinner party at the house across from Mrs. TownsendVs found the great Dane at the steps. One guest, whose dog is a dainty, coquettish Chow, passed an awful moment when she had visions of never getting past the great Dane, who seemed greater and greater as he stood above her, on the topmost step across the carved walnut doors. When she finallj' accomplished it, with the help of the chauffeur and. footman, she entered the drawingroom all but breathless. "Why doesn't that great Dane ol Mrs. Townsend's stay at home? He tiars all of that large garden to wander about in, over there, and " she stopped, because she was nervous. "Oh, that dog is simply lonesome,." her hostess explained.

HOW A BIG

RUBBER COMPANY TAKES CARE OF EMPLOYEES Provides Beautiful Homes at Cost Rent 'Applying on Purchase1 SGALE OF WAGES CONSTANTLY INCREASING Untrained Men and Women Earn Amazing Wages After Few Weeks of Service 2,000 More to Find Employment By D. R. HINCKLEY

When the Goodyear Tire- and' Rubber Company, Akron, Ohio, has completed' the two new factory additions it is now building, its working- force will be increased' to 8,000, and places will be made for 2,000 more workers. The additions will ring the working" floor space of the- factory to 1,700,000 square feet. These figures are used to graphically summarize the growth of Goodyear from nothing in 1S98 to the largest single company In the world engaged in rubber manufacture today. Akron, Ohio, with its dozen odd' rubber factories and other industries; Is- recognized the country over as an industrial marvel. Its population has grown from less than 30,000 to nearly 100.000 tn twenty years. More than half of Akron's heads of families are home owners. The rubber industry stimulated' by the enormous demand for tires for automobiles and other motor vehicles? has prown by leaps and bounds, and Akron has grown with It, building up a busy city out of a village and taking a commanding place fn American Industry. Akron pays a million and a half dollars a month in wages. The average monthly wage earned by Goodyear employes, inelutflng men, women and apprentices; for 1910, was 553.9S; for 1911 was $57.4S; for 1912 was $66.50. Among the 6,000 Goodyear employes, about 350 are women. Goodyear Company offfcials declare that the average for 1913 will be still higher. How Mr. Seiberling Favors Factory Workers Some important problems have been vorli&d out in the immense Akron, factories. F. A. Seiberling. President of the Goodyear Company, believes that every family should be enabled to own its home. Mr. Seiberling has the reputation of liv ing up to his beliefs, and In this matter he has made no exception. This is what Mr. Seiberling did: The Goodyear plant lies at the eastern, edge of the city. Mr. Seiberling purchased 450 acres of land at farm prices This he had platted into lots; then streets were laid out; then trees were planted: and a small lake within the allotment, he gave with its grounds to the city asa park and playground. Then Mr. Seiberling asked for plans for houses figuring on groups of 100 housesat a time. The plans soon followed. The first hundred houses are to be built at once, as soon as spring opens. The homes will range up and down in price and In elegance, but all of them will be modern, beautiful and really homey. Contracting for houses by the hundred obtains a rockbottom price. Protection Against Hail. The French gorernment is encouraging experiments with a new device to protect against hail, essentially a very large lightning rod of pure copper, which is claimed to affect atmospheric electricity so that hail stones cannot form. Easy. A farmer saw a recipe advertised for keeping wells and cisterns from freeze ing in winter. Having sent dozen stamps, he received the following: "Take in your well or cistern at night and stand it in front of the fire." Ambiguous. Wife (Shaking, her husband) 'John, wake up! That's three times Tve roused you. Now so and attend to the doors and windows; you don't expect me to shut, up, do you?" Hub (grouchily) "I wish you would."

TIRE AND

Who Win Own These Homes? These houses are to go to Goodyear workmen at actual cost; farm land cost for the lot and: pro rata cost for houses contracted' in 100 lots. The workman simply moves into- the house of his choice and pays the equivalent of rent; the rent, in- this case, applies- on the purchase of his home-. In ten years a Goodyear family man a-ccustomed to paying rent glides into the ownership- of a beautiful modern home almost without knowings it certainly without fee'llng the cost. Think what" it will mean to- these fortunate families to suddenly wake to- the reailfratfon that their home ia their own Of the four hundred" and fifty acres of land purchased, every acre Is available for the Goodyear family allotment. All the land will bo developed as the demand grows and the beautiful hillsides and valleys east of the Goodyear plant will soon be dotted with homes. 'T want every Goodyear workman to have his own home," says President F. A. Seiberling, who has personally made the enormous investment necessary to develop the allotment plan. "I realize that it is often an uphill struggle for the worker to obtain a home of his own, especially if he has rent to pay at the same time. My plan is to convert the rent into home payments and to provide the homes at cost. My pay? It's a plain matter of business. Home owners are contented and make better workmen. The man who can and' will settle down to paying for a home has more character and ability than the man- without ambition. So the workman and Company both profit by the transaction.' The plan as worked out will mean a saving1 for men who buy homes that range from ?500 to $2;000v according to the size of the house. This saving is based upon regular Akron real estate prices. Ho "Occupational Diseases" Goodyear factory builflirigs are moderri, with plenty of light; pure, cold drinking water, ample sanitation and working conditions as agreeable as money and care can make them. There are no "occupational diseases" in the rubber Industry. Men of skill earn $3.50 to $5.00 a day. Expert tire makers are developed in from, four to six weeks. Hundreds of men from, small towns, untrained, unaccustomed to wages greater than $1.50 per day, haivo come to the Goodyear plant, and soonenabled themselves to earn from $3.50 to $4.50. All these things have contributed; to Akron's unique industrial position In 1907, when financial difficulties spseadover the country, the Akron rubber fac Safeguarding Life and Limb.

' A Few Welfare Features Here are a few noteworthy features- of modern factory management as worked! out by the Goodyear administrative force. Refrigerated well water piped throughout the factory. An efficient hospital, with doctor andt trained nurses, to look after the generali health of workers and give prompt treatment to injuries, however slight A factory lunch room accommodating: 1,500 at one time, where good, substantial food Is sold at actual cost. An efficiency and welfare department; to assist beginners; to see that men-have the work for which they are best adapted: to look into grievances and see that they.are adjusted on a basis of fair dealing.' for the men as well as for the management. This department, under the direction of Mr. C. R. Johnson, has done wonders in building up Goodyear spirit and! welding Goodyear workers into a real family with a loyalty to the Company that withstands almost any crisis. Employment Bureau In the bureau of employment, red tape Is dispensed with as far as possible. Honesty of purpose Is the chief credential! And attracted by good wages, good., healthful work, and wonderful chances foethe future, workers everywhere who want to do better, are looking toward Akron the city of opportunity. Applications,, both written and in person from experts from apprentices- from men and fronu women-are pouring in all to be carefully considered by Mr. Johnson. Tot so many are the stations to be filied and' so many are the kintfs of work to be done that the positions have scarcely begun tobe filled'. These recent developments have mndt Goodyear stand out as a notable exampleof modern methods of management. Or the whole, the Goodyear Family is a happy ffamiiy. It has already attracted ex-perts-and apprentices from all over the country and now there's room for 2,000 more! Contentment is seen on every face the strike, which affected Goodyear least of all, is settled peace and prosperity now prevail among the Goodyear workers. And all, with the result that the tlre output of the Goodyear factory is th largest In the world. And about- the tire business, other lines f rubber manufacture are being built up to give tb great Akron factory a balanced produce Adv. Metaraorphosis.
