Indian Forced to succumb.

The white man and the Indian never
could mix, and the Indian has had to
succumb. All of us admire the Indian
and would like to see him survive for
all time; but it appears impossible
that with advancing civilization he can
continue. The Indian simply will not
submit to the changed conditions: he
still dreams of the happy hunting
ground and the forest and stream, and
nothing the government can do for
him can reconcile him. The automo-
bile and other things have helped him
along in his reckless career, but tu-
berculosis has been the most destroy
ing element in the life of the Ameri-
can aborigine.

typists is a copy holder that auto
matically shifts the notebook, or copy,

through the operation of lever placed
at the side of the typewriter, Popular
Mechanics states. This holder is
mounted on the desk just back of the

eye. The line finder is stationary,
while the portion of the device that
supports the copy Is raised one line
