MICHIGAN RED man
GETS LITTLE MONEY
interior Department Shows Pale
Face Gets Double Share.

Washington, Dec. 3.-Lo, the poor
Indian is no very extravagant luxury
for Uncle Sam In Michigan. The Sec
rotary of the interior has made public
what the redman has cost the gov
eminent during the past year.
The termination for Michigan fol-
lows: For Ottawas, Chippewas, LAnse
vieux de Sert Chippewas, per capita
payments in money, s17S.37; for sal.
aries of employees, $3,670.53; for sup
port and civilization, s1,SS0.6S. Total,
$5.729.5S.
1t is just the same in Michigan as
elsewhere, the chief item of expense
in maintenance of the redman con-
sists of payments to the white man.
The government servant who is sent
out to look after the aborigines, gets
the big end of the outlay. Nearly 81
900 for salaries of employees and less
than $4,000 for support and civiliza-
ton of the redman in Michigan caused
a hearty laugh when the report was
submitted to congress.

II Was One Of the Loftiest Peaks In
tho United States.
The highest mountain In Oregon Is
Mount Hood. l1.225 feet above the sea
level. Compared with Mount Whit
ney. to the south In California, and
Mount Rainier, to the north In Wash
,ngton. each rising well above $4,000
feet, Mount Hood does not appear as
q skyscraper. However, according to
the biologists OF the United States
geological survey and other authori'
ties, Oregon had at one time. proba-
bly, before the dawn Of life upon the
earth, a great volcano which lowered
as far above Mount Hood as does
Mount Rainier, possibly even several
thousand feet higher. This was the
great Mount Mazama. But thousands
OF years ago the mountain disappear
ed into the bowels OF the earth. ana
all that Is left today is the huge rim
around Crater lake.
Crater lake is the caldera Of this ex-
tinct and collapsed volcano and Is
nearly six miles In diameter. The In
side walls of the rim Of the ancient
mountain are in places nearly 1000
feet high and almost perpendicular.
The lake itself is in places 1000 feet
deep. and parts of the wall rise above
its water another 1900 feet. A res
toration Of the mountain in fancy, US
ing as a basis the angles Of the lower
slopes, which still remain. shows that
the apex could not have been far from
$4,000 feet in height. so that Mount

UNCLE SAM AIDS
THE ROADMAKERS
Gives Advice on How to Build
Right Kind Of Reads.


OF DiHerent materials Helps Deter
mine Exact Value of Each Under
Certain Traffic illions
Of Dollars Wasted In the Past.
So far has the government advanced
In the problems connected with road
construction that efforts are being
made to teach the country that the ex-
penditure Of large sums Of money on
certain types Of roads may result al
most in total waste. A road built of
materials which would be ideal in one
locality may not serve the purpose at
all elsewhere, and the money expend-
ed may bring scarcely any result In re.
ducing the cost Of hauling.
In order to aid farmers who want to
build their own roads and to assist va.
rious committees that desire to i'm.
prove their roads near by. the Office OF
public roads Of the department Of ag-
riculture at Washington has employed
experts to test all materials and study
their usefulness on roads subjected to
certain traffic conditions.
In Advisory Capacity.
The office of public roads is acting in
an advisory capacity to many states
and counties, giving most practical
form Of national aid. On roads where
there is a very hard traffic it has been
found that certain kinds of materials
are better than others. and that, while
one kind of binder may not serve the
purpose at all. another kind Is ideal
and preserves the road indefinitely.
Millions of dollars doubtless have
been wasted In the past because Of the
absence of scientific knowledge which
Is now being obtained. There is no
longer any excuse for any community
building the wrong kind Of road, it is
declared. as the office Of public roads
stands ready to furnish any informa-
ton that may be desired as to the
course that should be pursued.
In discussing the new scientific
movement In road Improvement Direc-
tor Logan Waller Page Of the Office of
public roads says:
There are two ways In which the
engineer may avail himself Of the in
formation necessary to q proper selec-
ton of road material. The first and
only certain one Is to make an actual
service test on the material under OBJ
servation and under the same condi-
tons of traffic and climate to which
the proposed road will be subjected.
Method Usually Impractical.
This method. however, Is imprac-
teal except In certain rare instances.
due to the lapse Of time which must
elapse before definite results can be
obtained. The second method is by
means of short time laboratory tests
to approximate as nearly as possible
the destructive agencies to which the
material will be subjected on a road.
supplementing the knowledge thus
gained by study of the results al
ready obtained in practice on material
Of similar nature"
The Office of public roads constantly
uses both methods At Chevy Chase.

Indianapolis, Ind, Dec. 3.-Claude
Lewis, a negro, was killed and four
men were wounded, one probably Ia

crowd which tried to stop the wagon

The four injured are: J. H. Mason,
negro barber, shot in abdomen, prob
ably fatal; John Ashley, shot in left
foot; Archie Smith, negro porter, shot
in left shoulder; Alexander Sedan,
shot in neck, not serious.
Crowds Surround Wagons.
The wagon had stopped to unload
ice at a saloon. A crowd had gather
ed and began hooting and jeering the
six men on the wagon, who had been
given police powers to protect the ice
company's property during the team
sters' strike.
After the ice had been unloaded the
crowd tried to prevent the wagon
moving down the avenue. Then the
special officers opened fire and at the
first volley Lewis, Mason, Smith and
Sedan, who were in the front ranks
of the crowd, fell. Ashley was nearly
half block away when he was hit
by stray bullet.
A riot call to police headquarters
brought an automobile fire truck, load
ed with policemen armed with riot
guns, and number of mounted Of
ficers to the scene. The crowd was
quickly dispersed.
Lewis, who was killed, was an ele.
vator boy at a department store.
Mayor Wallace ordered the police
to dispense a parade which was pro-
posed by the teamsters and chauf-
feurs, who are on strike. The police

Captain Of the Lords Host.

families of the earth be blessed"
Captain of the Lords Host.
After crossing Jordan, the Israelites
encamped midway between the river
and Jericho, that city having shut its
gates, expecting long siege. Joshua
was aware that the first place of at
tack would be Jericho, but evidently
not aware Of the character Of the bat
tie. Reconnoitering near Jericho, he
met an armed soldier, and at once In
quired whether he was friend or foe.
The answer was that he was Captain
of the Lords host.
An angel had been commissioned to
materialiZe as human and to COM
municate to Joshua the Divine plan
for the capture of Jericho. Joshua i'm
mediately put 1t into execution.
Every day there was solemn pro-
cession around the doomed city. First
went a military escort from the vari-
Gus tribes. Next followed company
Of priests blowing rams horns. Then
came rear guard-presumably war
riors. In harmony with the explicit d.
rections not q voice was heard, not a
shout. Everything was most funereai.
except the blowing Of the rams horns.
These solemn professions encompass
ed Jericho once each day for six days.
Then on the seventh day they went
about the city seven times, the last
time vociferously shouting-the seven
priests constantly blowing the rams
horns. When they had made the sew
enth circuit, they stopped In front OF
the city, still blowing. Forthwith the
wall crumbled and fell.
The translation of our Common Yer
sion, down fat" seems too strong
properly to represent the original. The
wall fell Immediately In front Of the
Ark OF the Covenant. But the account
tells that the portion Of the wall where
Rahabs house was built did not fall.
Israel's soldiers could easily accom-
plish the work Of destruction.
Quite probably an earthquake ire
NOR, under Divine supervision, caused
the fall of the wall in front Of the Is
raelites. 1t does not seem impossible
that God thus interviewed to carry out
His own purposes.
Professor Wright declares, THE me
date cause Of the fall of the wall was
some subterranean earthquake, which
shook down the walls of the part of
the city where the men were standing,
or undermined them SO that they sank.
This is easily possible In that region of
earthquakes.
1.-THE record Is that at the appointed
time the walls fell; and we are free to
believe that the catastrophe was con-
nected with an earthquake, which was
made to synchroniZe with the final
blasts Of the rams horns. In the light
Of history and geological conditions of
this region. the story bears every mark
