ITT!N3 Red Men of America Of any of the races that history speaks of, the Indian was the most free of all. Their chief had very little power over them. Whenever the tribe was to go on the war path or smoke the peace pipe a council first was held and the matter voted upon by the braves. Before the Indian met the white man and drank his "firewater" he was one of the most honest of humans. But whisky and rum was his ruination. An Indian has a craving for "firewater" and he woukl sHoal and even kill for a small amount of it. An Indian is the best of friends and the worst of enemies. Befriend him once and he will help you, but injure him once and he will injure you. They had an unwritten law which was "an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth." In its full sense it means as much as if you took the life of an Indian you must pay with your life; if you robbed him of his sight you must pay with your sight, and so on. It is a common belief among people that the red race is growing extinct. This is not so. It is increasing every year and it is said that there are more Indians on the con tinent today than when Columbus discovered America, In war the Indian was brave and dangerous. It was a disgrace for him to be beaten in battle and still more disgraceful for him to get scalped. . . Ho believed If he was scalped he would not go to the happy hunting 'ground. The war arrows of the Indians of the West and Southwest sometimes were poisoned with rattlesnake poison. This made them exceedingly terrible in war, for the foe that was struck by a poisoned arrow would die in a few hoars from the poison if not properiy cared for. No modern craftsman can make a birch-bark canoe like the Indians

"THOSE WERE THE DAYS!"

75 Were Liberty Lovers of former days could. All they can j do is try to imitate him. They also , made boats out of the trunks of trees. Those that were made in the good old days weren't clumsy, too. They were light, strong and speedy. But the secret of making I log-hewn boats, like that of arrow- ! heads, apparently is lost forever. I The Indians of the North and East lived in wigwams in the sum mer and in lodges in tne colder months. The wigwams were made of poles with skins of animal.? stretched over and around them. An opening in the peak of the wigwam was always left so smoke could escape if a fire was built inside. The flaps and outside generally were adorned with pictographs. The lodges were made of poles covered with bark and grass. A hole was loft in the top for the smoke of the fire to escape, like in the wigwams. The Indians put furs on the walls and ground and they had a pretty warm abode even when it was zero weather outside A few crops were raised by the red men. The chief oneVas corn. About the only tool that was used was a hoe made of a clam shell. The women, or squaws, did all he work in the field. A brave thou, at it a disgrace to work, his occupation being fighting and hunting. The Indian was a true sportsman. Ho never killed or hunted for fun like many of our so-called white sportsmen do. All the game he killed was used for food or some useful purpose. Peace Pipee Carved In Wood. Pipes and tobacco were and are used by the red men. In fact, it is from them that the whites got the dirty habit. They made some! pipes out of wood and stoue in their crude way, that would make a present-day pipe manufacturer eat hay with envy. Some pipes

Some have carved figures of animals, birds, reptiles and human faces on them. The main use of the pipe was to smoke it at peace meetings. A pipe that is used at such a meeting is called a peace-pipe. The Indians believed that the tobacco smoke would ascend to Heaven and the Great Spirit would be pleased. Some" of the Indians of the western United States still hold this belief. The Indian of yesterday is no more! No longer does he dash upon the prairie in his war clothes. No longer does he live his free, reckless life in the woods. Ho now is peaceful and his children are asking a part in the Nation's expansion. Lone Scout. Just American Just today we chanced to meet, Down upon th ecrowded street; And I wondered whence he came, What was once his nation's name. So I asked him, "Tell me true, Are you Pole or Itussian Jew, English, Scotch, Italian, Russian, Belgian, Spanish, Swiss, Moravian, Dutch, Greek or Scandinavian?" ihen he raised his head on high, As he gave ire this reply: "What I was is naught to me, ; In this land of Liberty if, In my soul as man to man, I am Just American." Author Unknown. "Prince Utah" the baby elephant, of Salt Lake City was only 28 inches high when it was born, and weighed 180 pounds. It was a valuable baby for its owners refused $5,000 for it, when it was six months old. It only lived to be about a year old.

Several more records will be purchased especially for work in the grade schools, as the High School is well supplied with records. The main part of the study, especially in the grade schools, will be to give you Juniors a better idea of rhythm and of the differentlunus oi music, in outer words, you will learn to tell as soon aa a record is started on the Victrola, whether it is a waltz, or a march, and how many counts are written in each measure, that is. whether it is three-four, or four-four time, etc., right away, just by listening. You will also learn whether the music is made by an instrument which makes sound by being blown into, or whether it ia made by two strings coming together, as a violin, or by an instrument that has to be struck to produce a sound, and, oh, many other things, that will make you enjoy music more than you ever did before you knew all theae things about the different kinds of scaffolding or forms over which the tones and groups of tones are built up into something ve- tipim? tiful and wond, - New Orchestra Plays in Chapel Friday morning the students ot Garfield enjoyed hearing their own orchestra for the first time this year.
