SIGNALS READ
 BY TRIBAL CHIEF

A white man who visits a foreign na- ton finds 1t hard and sometimes m> possible to make his most ordinary wants known. The red man has no such difficulty. The problem of Q uni- versal language was solved centuries ago by the savage inhabitants of this western world.
 Should an Indian from northern Alas ka go to Patagonia he could by means of thIs universal language converse with his southern brethren almost as easily as he could with his neIghbors at home. That would also be the case If he visited Central America or met the tribesmen Of our OTn western prni- ries aud mountains.
 When this language was Invented no one knows. but every Indian learns It In addition to his own Recently two chiefs of different tribes met In the | Geographical society rooms in Wash | ington and held conversation that lasted nearly three hours, and yet nel ther one knew a word of the others 1 language.
 This universal language Is. of course, made up of signs For example. if an | Indian is passing through a strange country and sees other Indians at l distance he makes the peace sign that Is, he holds up his blanket by two corners so that 1t covers his whole fig. ure. The same thought is expressed by extending the hands, palms out ward, slightly inclined from the face. Any Indian would understand either | one of these signs.
 Then there are the abstract signs by which these "Sayages" can express their thoughts with regard to the Great Spirit, heaven. good. evil lie and death, sickness, health, riches and poverty. Life is expressed by drawing an imaginary thread from the mouth and death by chopplng this thread off. Another sign for death Is to hold the tips of the fingers of one hand against the palm of the other and let them gradually slip downward and at last drop beneath the palm.
 Most white people think that the h. dian word of greeting, How" Is mere ly the abbreyiation of the question, How are you" But that Is not so. The word is really "aou," which means brother" or friend" So when he comes up and growls out his seemingly inQuisidve How" he is not asking after your health, but telling you that he Is a frlend-Youth's Companion.
