WHITE MAN AND RED MAN
The indian ExcelIs in HE Ability to
Care for Himself in the
Wilderness.

The statement that two or three
white men entered the Maine woods
''in a state of nature" to see If they
could work ont their own salvation
In the matter Of securing living with
their bare hands, calls attention to
what the Indian can accomplish in this
line. For however resourceful the
white man may be, the Indian has
never been excelled in the matter OF
taking care of himself in the wilder
ness,
1t has been but a little while since
the Toledo Blade told of an Indian
who became separated from his fell
lows, away up in the Hudson bay coun-
try. He had no food, no protection
against the weather, except a ragged
suit Of clothes and d pocket knife was
his only weapon or implement. But
he emerged from the wilderness next
spring, fat, happy and in possession of
several hundred dollars worth of furs.
He managed to start a fire with his
knife and a piece of flint, the Blade
says. He erected a shelter which
turned snow ard ice. With strips Of
bark he made fish lines, with thorns,
hooks. Fish he found in plenty by
breaking holes through the ice of the
streams. He fashioned traps and es-
tablished line of them. He made
snow shoes, fur clothing, moccasins
and great cap he spoke Of as stove.
When spring arrived this Indian had
canoe and he rode away on the first
freshet with his store OF wealth, in bet
ter physical condition than he was
when he parted from his friends. But
he didn't suppose there was anything
unusual in the accomplishment. He,
accepted his success as a matter of
fact, and will probably return to the
scene to duplicate the adventure as
the easiest way of making living.

AIRSHIPS NOW USE WIRELESS
Heretofore Messages Gould Not Be Re

Difficulty Overcome.

Upon his return to London from
Italy, Guglielmo Marconi, in an inter-
view with British journalists, gave the
following information: New develop
ments will not only make wireless
communication in this war more eff
Client than ever before, but win make it
more difficult for the enemy to inter-
cept messages. These Improvements
Will apply to Instruments in aeroplanes
and airships. Hitherto aeroplanes have
been at a disadvantage with airships
in wireless work, for although they
were able to transmit messages, they
have not been able to receive them.
This was because the receiving signal
was too faint TO be distinguished, be-
ing drowned BY the noise Of the aero
plane engine. Now we have been able
to strengthen the receiving signal sufIi-
ciently to enable messages to be
taken"

IN SPORTING CIRCLES
plLLoNs BATTING AVERAGE
BETTER THAN LEVlNsKEY's

(By Hamilton, United Press Staff Cor.
respondentJ
New York, oct. 3l.-Jack Dillon and
Battling Leyinskey. Americas most
willing scrappers, have run almost a
neck and neck race ia the number OF
bouts participated IN since Levinskey's
star started up from the horizon IN
Il9l0.
Dillon has crawled through the
ropes to take part Of 1885 mills and
Leyinskey had gone him just two bet.
ter up to the time compilation OF their
records was stopped by the end of a
year. Levinskey hadn't been going
very strong this year until few
months ago, so It is pretty near GER
tain that the Indianapolis wildcat has
passed him.
In spite of the fact that Leyinskey
has appeared in the greater number Of
bouts, Dillon's record as a knockerout
and as winner on points is far more
imposing than that of the "Battler"
This may be due to the fact that
Dillon has scattered his record out
over several states where they allow
decisions, while Levinskey has been
pretty well satisfied to do his boxing
in the east, where they lean to no de-
cision encounters.
Out of his 1876 battles shown in the
latest record book Dillon has won for
IN six, giving him a batting average
OF $40. while Leyinskey has been fore
ed to remain content with thirty wins
out OF his 1877 starts, an average Of
only ,21l.
Levinskey's busiest year was 1914,
when he was called to the front thirty
six times. He was credited with vic
tory in only four Of these goes In
1915 his stock took an awful slump
and he gained but one decision out Of
twenty-one fisticuffing parties. Le-
vinskey's heaviest year shows he en-
gagged IN at least one quarrel every
week and sixteen-thirty-sixths.
Dillon's most lucrative twelve
months was in 1912 when he encoun-
tered twenty-niue would-be wreckers
Of his hopes. He Polished off twelve
