G. E. Thrapp Congratulated. Congratulating Glenn E.

McNutt dean of the Indiana university law school and state civilian aid in charge of procurement of candidates for the camps today cited Noble county as an example in which enrollment was going forward in commendable manner.

Mr. Thrapp deserves great credit tor the showing of his county in the procurement of candidates,” AMr. McNutt asserted. “The success of the movement insofar as it relates to representation from every county in the state depends in the last analysis on the contact between the man with the application blank and the youth who is’ a potential candidate. It is this contact which has enabled Noble county to attain its: present standing. It is hoped that additional enrollments is that county will help overcome the failure of other ‘countfes to send voungsters to the camp.” - Accusation Brings $lO,OOO Suit

‘Platinun’s Valueat © Firat Not Recognized At one time piatinum was regarded as a nuisance. Today it is more valuable than gold. - Sclentists have proved that it is the most permanent of all metals and that it resists the action of moisture or the -elements for centuries. [latinum is of exceptional value in dental work, because it is not affected by the aelds and secretions of the mouth.

It was the Spaniards who brought this metal to thg notice of the civilized world. When they were in Mexico and Panama in search of gold they regarded platinumm as a nuisance and a dangerous mnietal because, being as heavy as gold, it was ecasily mistaken for gold when covered with a coating of yellow metal,

It was not long, however, before they -realized its value for making jewelry, and used it for snuff-boxes. sword and dagger hiltg, and other or gaments.

It now comwmaunds a higher price than gold. When it is in crude ore form it is like a coarse gravel that appears dull and unpromising. After the tirst retinishing process the metal is spongy and porous. It is then pressed into round disks. v In ancient times the metal was hamwered into very thin sheets and then worked up into endless varieties of ornaments, .the best specimens of which have been found in Ecuador.

Old Paintings Throw Light on Indian Life

Six paintings of American Indians made in the 1750°s and forgotten for 200 years have been gziven to the world in reproduction for the first time in a publication, released from the Smiithsonian institution. They are drawings of the life and culture of the Indians of Lower Louisiana made between the years 1732-35, by A. Deßatz, a Frenclunan, presumably ap architect or an engineer. The drawings are the earliest known to have been made in Lower Louisiana, and they arve likewise believed to be the oldest pictures existing of members of the Acolapissa, Atakapa, Choctow, Fox, Illinois and Tunica tribes. The paper has turned yellow with age, but the colors remaln cleav and bricht, and many - details are shown with great exactness.

The sketches yield an astonishing quantity of informnation on the clothfvg, habitations, temples, fighting activities, games and domestic animals of the Indians around the Mlississippi. Though crude, they are very graphic and prove DeDatz (0o have heen a careful observer interested in the customs: of the Indians.

Men Like Coffee Beans?

Life standardizes us. We are like so many coffee beans—the same size, the same color, the same smell. Creatures of convention! The very buttons that hold our clothes together are sewed where they are by the dictates of convention, Every article of dress is prescribed by fashion and custom; we eat what we do for the same reason, we gef up in the morning, comb our hair, go to our offices, or cook breakfast, wash dishes, and perform the thousand and oue things tfiat male up our daily lives, because convention so decides. Some fortunate ones succeed in pursuing more or less independent existences, but the whole tendency of our American life is to make us d%e same thing, say the same thing~and think the same thing. —Charles G. Norrig ia Plain Talk Magazine,

Just Another Container

In “Up the Years From Bloomsbury,” the actor, George Arliss, tells of meeting in Boston a delighted old lady, Mrs. Bell, who was then eightyfour. .

“l met her at wany gatherings. No dinner party in which she was included was ever dull, She generally kept everyone in pells of laughter and I never heard her repeat herself. She lived in a small house with a small back garden. TFor a time sghe kept a pig in the yard and when asked why on earth she kept it, she said: *“Well, we must have something to put things in.’” :

Going Too Far

A city magnate the other day summoned his manager, “Look here, Robinson,” said he. “You'll have to talk to that new fellow, Jones, you took on as shorthand typist.” “Why, what’s the matter with him?” said Robinson. “I know he stutters rather badly, but you said—" “Y said I didn’t mind that, but look at this.” The magnate held out a letter which read: “In reference to yours of the eighth ult.” Then he continued: “Stuttering on the typewriter I simply won’'t stamd.” —London Daily Chronicle,

MADE famous in prose and poetry, ' and favored with unrivalled scene splendor along its course of 250 miles past timber-studded bluffs and grassy moors, bringing kaleidoscopic changes at every turn, the Au Sable in East ‘Michigan is in winter a rendezvous “for the hunter and trapper and in sum.mer a romantic adventure for the tourist..

This great aquatic artery, rising in northeastern Michigan near the central part of the lower peninsula, fed by many lakes and countless streams .and springs, has an unending charm. Men who have once flocated down its ‘waters return to its precincts year ‘after year. An Englishman crossed the Atlantic year after year to fish the river. An Indian chief deserted his tribe rather than leave his fishing and hunting stream. Two Bay City, Michigan, men have made their Jforty-first annual consecutive pilgrim‘age to it together and are already planning for next May 1 their forty--Becond vyisit.

The river is not only historically -and scenically appealing but it has a ‘piscatorial attraction. Postmaster General Harry S. New, of Washington, D. C.,, has been fishing the stream for 41 years. The late James Oliver Curwood, the novelist, who died in 1927, had a cottage omr its banks in which he wrote many of his outdoor stories. Annually he had as his guests prominent New York publishers and editors. Gene Stratton Porter completed her last book in her cottage on the Au Sable and at the time of her tra“gic death in California had "an option on 15 miles of frontage on this wonder stream.,

R. C. Durant, better known as “Cliff,” son of W, C. Durant, founder of General Motors, has a cottage on the South Branch of the Au Sable. “Hideaway,” young Durant calls his place. Cliff Durant, known chiefly to the public as a sportsman, automobile driver and aviator, plays the stock market from his Au Sable cottage. Freed from the distractlons of elvilization, be has, from his Au Sable cottage, traded in issues to the number of 10,000" to 20,000 a day. Thisg he achieves through the use of tefegraph and «telephone wires. Durant has several times been a competing deiver in the automcbile races at Indiapapolis. ~ Dwvid Shoppenagon, a Chippewa Indl* chief, because of his love for the

Whyt Under *the above caption the Goshen News Times says: “Never in all our living in the good old state of Hoosierdom have we witnessed such a scene as is now taking place in our state convention of the republican party. QOur governor Ed Jackson is not recognized and is barred from making a speech before the convention as well as being barred as one of seven delegates to the national convention. This action is taken for reasons better known by Senators Watson and Robinson than any one else. : . ©On the floor of the convention Rev. Schumaker noted dry leader is making himself very conspicuous as to the wet and dry attitude of the men who are to be chosen as the candidate for governor. On the side line are men who formerly wore the hood and gown of white, to better protect their persons from the outside world. What effect this will have on the voters of our state in November is questionable. Besides the unexpldained reason for barring .our own governor as well ’as others of high standing politically from taking part in the coming na[‘tional, convention, might he explained.” ‘ . Contrary to all precedent the governor was not named a deiegate to the natiopal conVeintion of his party. Pay your Banner subscriptions.

Au Sable, divorced himself from his tribe, when with the coming of the white man, the tribe quit the terri tory. Shoppenagon remained in the vicinity of the river for the remainder of his life and up to the time of his death a decade ago worked as guide and fished and hunted on the stream. Noted men in every line of endeavor returned regularly to assimilate Shoppenagon’s hunting and fishing knowledge. Today a hotel at Grayling, Michigan, near where the river rises and from which many start on the canoe trip down the“g river, is named after the Indian chief and a life-size painting of Shoppenagon, the work of one of his artist patrons, is prominently displayed in the lobby of the hotel. Shoppenagon was an interesting and romantic figure and while he lived was as much a center of attraction of the section and the river as the landmarks. His name and the Au Sable were almost synonymous. He embraced Christianity after the departure of his tribe and one of his doctrinal tenets was a profound aversion .to fishing or hunting on the Sabbath, a circumstance that contributed much of discomfiture to many of the visitors who engaged his services: One of his delights was the opportunity to relate in flamboyant oratorical stylke the manner of the massacre of the British at Fort Michillimackinac, first hand facts of which he claimed to have received from his father who was a participating chief in the Pentice uprising. A cross, seven inches long, brought to this country by the Jesuit missionaries in the seventeenth century, was handed down tc Shoppenagon and was preserved jealously by him almost up to the time of his death. The cross is now on display in the rooms of the Bay City Historical Sgciety at Bay City.

The Au Sable flows through a part of the great Michigan Forest of 213,000 acres which is visiled annually by residenis from every state in the union, the provinces of Capnada and oven from KEngland, France, Japan, and Scuth "American countries.

The canoe trip from Grayling to Lake Huron, into which the Au Sable empties, i 3 one of the charming, intriguing magnets for many of the tourist visitors. This trip may be made in company with guides whose entire lives have been spent on the river.

| Three Races in Bill. Indianapolis May 26—'There will he three distinet races within the big race when the sixtéenth international £OO mile contest is held at the Indianapolis motor speedway May 30. § There will be the conflict of courge for victory at the end orf 500 miles. There will be the usual drive for each lap of the race with the leader in each two and one-half miles circuit receiving $lOO as a special prize. Then there will he the newly developed conflict between the front and rear wheel

drive cars. ' The lines between the front and rear wheel drie pilots is as finely drawn as party lines in politics. Never even in the days of team piloting has there been such rivalry. . There are only eleven of the thirtysix cars entered of the front wheel drive type. By way of explanation they are a radical change the power instead of being relayed from the motor to the rear.wheels via a transmission is piped direct from-the motor to the front wheels. They are pulled in comparison to being pushed as in the conventional car. But in the group of eleven front wheel drives are the fastest cars on the track as guaged by the early prerace training. ; 5 i The record for 500 miles is held by Peter De Poala who ran the five century at an average of 101.13 miles an hour to win the 1925 contest. That was in a rear wheel drive Duesenberg. But this year De Paolo is riding a front wheel drive car and he laughs and laughs every time anyone makes a comparison of the speeds between the two cars. He is thoroughly sold on the front wheelers.

| The fastest lap ever turned at Indianapolis was at a speed of 120.91 miles an hour and was made by the late Frank Lockhart in a rear wheel drive Miller Special. Lockhart one of the keenest mechanical minds in the speed business was «confident in the prowess of the rear wheelers. ‘ Rob Dentist’s Office A thief entered the office of Dr. C. J.
