TO SAVE OLD INDlil TOWN
North Dakota Historical Society's
Head Starts a Movement for
Their Preservation.

Grand Forks, N. DIR. o. G. Lib
by, head of the North Dakota Histori-
cal society, has commenced a move
ment with the object in view Of pre-
serving the historic Indian villages of
the state, notably that on Graham's
island, Benson county, which is now
regarded as the oldest Indian village
In the state and possibly the oldest in
the northwest.
In his effort to interest the people
in the project Mr. Libby has resorted
to the moving picture theaters, and
is sending slides to all sections of the
state for use in creating favorable
sentiment to the establishment of a
portion Of Graham's island as state
preserve.
The Graham's island village was es-
tablished by the Hidasta Indians, and
researches which have been carried
on indicate it is the pioneer of all In
dian villages.
DIR. Libby also hopes to preserve
several Indian villages in the Nilsson
ri slope district.

Pathetic Tragedy Of a Feminine Re.

wich inquest on Miss Martha Moody,
who lived alone in house in Heath
wood Gardens, Charlton, showed that
she starved herself, although she was
a woman Of means.
Mr.. Charles Clothier, friend of
Miss Moody, said he had not seen her
about for some days and as the blinds
remained down, he informed the po-
lice. An entrance was made through
a back door, and Miss Moody was
found dead in her bed.
Doctor Webley, police divisional
surgeon, estimated that she had been
dead about a week when the tragedy
was discovered. She was very ema-
ciated, and he found very little food
In the house. Death was due to heart
disease, accelerated by self-neglect.
A brother of Miss Moody said there
was no reason why his sister should
have starved herself. Her bank pass
book, which he produced, showed a
large balance.
A verdist in accc nee with the
medical evidence was returned.

In war submarine acting singly
would travel under water and make
short rises to peek through its peri
scope. A system lately tried and found
practical was for three submarines to
work together, one below the other.
The top one carried its periscope
above the surface and directed the two
below by submarine signals. Thus only
one was in danger of being destroyed
by an enemy.
The travelling radius of the submar-
inc is much larger than popular con-
ception. A Swedish boat recently
went from Italy to Sweden without
stopping. A flotilla of United States
boats visited Bermuda and others went
from New York to Panama, where they
now form part of the canal defense.
The boats in the Pacific travel from
Puget sound to San Francisco to San
Diego. The newer boats remained
under water for "a hours, some 48
hours, without inconvenience to the
crew. The best speed under water is
about eight knots an hour. They can
dive to a depth .of hundred feet or
more In safety. Some of the latest
types are designed for 200 feet depths
and an underwater steaming radius OF
several hundred miles

The submarine boat is the least pre-
possessing of all craft on the sea.
Imagine a big, fat cigar floating on
the water" is Henry ReuterdahPs de-
scription. with a hump on its middle
and two sticks pointing upward" The
hump is the coming tower and the
sticks are the "eyes" of the boat,
known as periscopes. A narrow strip
of fat deck and a flagstaff aft, support
ing the radio aerials, complete the sub
marines features.
On the surface the submarine boat
runs just as any other ship. The COM
mander in the coming tower cons his
ship Just as the captain of battleship
or a liner would from his bridge.
Steering Is done by an ordinary wheel.
The rudder and propellers are no Diff
ferent. Gasoline is usually the motive
power. Heavy oil is used in the latest
types. A speed OF 20 knots an hour is
made by the newer models, which are
about 500 tons in displacement.
Under water some changes come.
The same propellers and rudder serve.
The steering wheel still turns the
boat to right and left; but another
wheel is also used which controls hori-
zontal rudders, which guides the boat
UP or down. Electricity is now used to
turn the motor that controls the pro-
peilers After a few minutes the used
air is gradually pumped into the sea
and compressed air from storage tanks
released to replace it.
