Fixes Indians Race
BY Executive Fiat
Redman Not MongoIian, Rules
Cato Sells, Who Now Adds
EthnoIooy to He Other Ac.
compIishments.

Officially the i0i 900 Indians
in the United States are Red Mon,
and not Mongolidns, as a fsp'
ethnologists nov would make
them.
That is the edict that went
forth this week from Cato Sells,
Commissioner Of Indian Affairs,
who also ordered that no text
books denaturing the Indians S
race should be allowsd in any
Government Indian school.
Settling a little matter of
ethnolosy, though, Is a mere in
cident in the routine Of a job that,
by Secretary Lanes own defni-
tion, calls for a iaayer, educator,
farmer and fnancier.

WIN EAST" SLOGAN
OF SUFFRAGE LEADER
Or. Anna Howard Shaw, in
Greeting to Co.workers,
Predicts More Victories.

Expressing satisfaction with the prog
ress made by the "votcs for women
advocates during the year just ended.
and confidence that the year 1915 will
show still greater victories for the
cause. DR.. Anna Howard Shaw. presi-
dent ot the National American Woman
Suffrage Association, today issued the
following statement:
Eastward the tide Of suffrage takes
its way in this New Year. In New
York. Pennsylvania. New Jersey, and
Massachusetts campaigns will be wased
this year. and as the bill has passed
the lower house in each Of these states
by large majority. there is little doubt
that It will pass the other and 60 to
the voters next fall
This year two new States have been
Won to suffrage--Montana. with Sl.7l
women Of voting age, and Nevada. with
1s.lAo. At the beginning Of this year 4S1;
States is won for equal suffrage. The
su6rage cause never loses anything.
There are some people who will say We
lost IN aye States this year. But !
never had, and that the campaigns car
ried on In these States In which the
Oill was not passed have done moro to
educate the people Of those States and
of equal suffrage as a political issue
than ten years Of work without CAM
paigns could have done.
Especially in the South has the in
huencc Of the campaign work In the
West been felt. Every Southern State
= is now we'll organized and active for
suffrage.
For the first time. in the history Of
our cause. suffrage is being discussed
in the lower house Of Congress And
Whatever the outcome OF this discuss
sion 1t does not effect the gain made
by having the subject brought out Of
committee and made live issue on the
floor Of the House.
Il feel that our field Of work Is now
so broad as to make woman suffrage
no longer question Of expediency, but
rather q political issue. All political
:1art'es have recognized this as fact.
and the question Is now up for consid-
GRAFTON by all legislative bodies in non
suffrage States aud by Congress. Be-
cause believe that the enfranchise-
ment Of the women of America is the
greatest step the country could take
toward the establishment of that
democracy of which we talk-a govern
ment of the people for the people by the
people-l hope to see greater ard more
sweeping victories for our cause during
the coming year.

PROPER WAY TO CLEAN SHOES
Details That Many Overlook Are ot
the Utmost Importance When Re-
suits Are Sought For.

Very few people have the least
idea of how to clean a pair of shoes.
The mistake that nearly everyone
makes is of failing to brush the shoe
clean before putting on the blacken-
ing.
Another blunder is that of putting
on too much blackening and not
working it well into the leather be-
fore starting to polish the shoe.
When cleaning brown shoes it is
necessary to get all the dirt out be-
fore putting on the polish. Other
wise you cover the dirt with coat
of polish and leave it there for good.
You have an old pair of shoes
which are beginning to leak. Try
the following:
Take linseed oil ten parts, mutton
suet five parts, yellow wax five parts,
resin one part. Melt them together
over gentle fire, let the mixture
come to a boil, then set aside till
cooled to about 40 degrees. Take
a brush-an old toothbrush will do
and give the shoes two coats of the
mixture Be sure to work it well
into the seams. This will make the
boots thoroughly waterproof.

ISLANDS OF LITTLE VALUE
the Very Slightest CONNER
cial Importance.

Port Stanley, the capital of the
Islands off which EngIand's recent
naval victory was won, is a small,
clean town, very much resembling
some of the villages in the Orkneys
and Shetlands, says the London Pail
Mall Gazette. The houses occupied
by the government officials and the
chief employees of the Falkland
Islands company are stone built.
with slate roofs; but most of the
others are built of driftwood and old
ships timbers.
The country around Port Stanley
is huge peat morass, more or less
impossible, according to the time of
year, and there are no roads fit for
vehlcular traffic leading out of the
town. Throughout the whole of the
islands there are no trees indigenous
to the soil, and the tallest plants, ex-
cept species known as tussock grass,
which grows from six to ten feet,
do not exceed the height of the COM
mon English furze. Agriculture is
virtually impossible, for wheat will
never ripen, and oats, rye and barley
but seldom. Potatoes are unknown
as a crop, and the ordinary English
vegetables will not mature.
