The Tomahawk., 1916-07-27
Wants An Investigation
To The TOMAHAWK:

To The TOMAHAwK:
l have been unable to get pro-
per care for my nephews, two
! orphan boys now at the Indian
boarding school here, which is
being supported by Chippewa
money. The boys look more like
tramps than school children, and
being their aunt I am anxious for
their welfare. | think large part
of the Gribal fund IS being used for
the support of children, or at least
it is supposed to be used for this
purpose, but the appearanceof my
nephews now at the school does
not show that they are properly
and decently clothed.
There are many things which the
government should investigate in
connection with the school here,
and also the medical treatment of
children and others, but it seems
impossible to get this done, so l
write THE ToMAHAwK to at least
make the matter public.

John G. Morrison, president of

recently at Bemidji, that there had
been a combination of land buyers
at the last sale of Chippewa lanes
under the Volstead Act, and by
reason of this there had been no
competitive bids made for the
lands, and shat therefore the Chip
pewa tribe had been a heavy loser.

SOUTHLAND |. HELD Up
Dense Fog Necessitates Halt and
Makes Norfolk Steamer Ten Hours
Late

Fog on the Potomac and Chesa-
peake Bay Thursday night and yes
terday could have been cut with a
knife. The steamer Southland, of
the Norfolk and Washington Steam
boat Company, due at this, port at
six o'clock, yesterday morning, did
not reach her wharf until four o'clock.
The boat left Norfolk at six o'clock.
Thursday evening, according to
schedule, and had reached Colonial
Beach, about sixty miles south of
Alexandria, when the fog became so
dense that it would have been haz-
ardous to proceed. The steamer was
stopped and the anchor dropped. The
Southland was unable to resume her
voyage up the river until about noon
when the fog lifted somewhat. The
Southland generally reaches Alexan-
dria on her return trip at 7:45 p. m.
but she did not arrive here last night
until about 8 o'clock.
All passengers were in their state
rooms and there was no excitement.
Fog horns were blown and search
lights played about the surrounding
waters to prevent accident.
In the morning the passengers
found the Southland anchored at Cow
Point, off Colonial Beach, and were
assured by Capt. NOVEL;, and his Of
ficers that the voyage would be re-
sumed when the mist raised.
There was some anxiety on the part
of relatives and friends of passeng-
ers who had expected their arrival
in Alexandria at o'clock yesterday
morning. A number of Alexandria
Elks, who had been attending the an
nual meeting of the Virginia State
Association in Norfolk, were among
the passengers. 1t was not until late
in the day that the officials received
word of the safety of the steamer.

LOCAL ELKs IN PERIL? :
Returning From State Convention
Friends Are Alarmed by Late Ar
rival Of Steamer.
Convention

Among the passengers on the
steamer Southland which left Nor
folk Thursday evening at six o'clock
for Alexandria. were Alderman Jacob
Brill, Past Exalted Ruler of Alex
andria Lodge of Elks, and Councilman
James Bales, retiring President OF
the Virginia State Association OF
Elks, which held its annual reunion
in Norfolk this week. Mr.. Bales ac-
companied her husband.
The trio upon awakening at an
early hour yesterday morning sup
posed they were about in the neigh
borhood of Jones's Point, within a
stones throw of their homes, but
they were much disappointed when
they were told the steamer was an
chored off Colonial Beach, the north
ern entrance to the Kettle Bottoms,
at least sixty miles from home and
friends. 1t was impossible to see
twenty yards ahead, and the hoarse
blasts of the fog whistle of the
steamer indicated that there was more
or less anxiety lest some passing
steamer might collide with the big
Norfolk liner.
Hour followed hour, but like Lon
don fogs, there were no indications
of break, and the passengers reallz-
ed that they must kill time as best
they could. Fortunately there were
iano-players aboard and some of the
steamers complement wrer vocalists.
Mu5ice was rendered and other past
times conceived to pass away the
time. The officers of the Southland
did everything possible to render the
experience of the passengers rs
pleasant as possible.
During the day the steward Of the
steamer prepared a royal feast for the
benefit of the passengers, and told
them they were guests of the Norfolk
and Washington Steamboat Company,
and to partakc of the tempting menu
without cost. The invitation was ac-
.cptcd, and all enjoyed the spread.
About noon the fog lifted and the
steamer blew for her Alexandria
landing about four o'clock in tine af-
*crnoon.
Relatives and friends of the Alex
andrians, while the latter were. feast
ing and having a good time, were
anxious. What had become of the
steamer? Was the earnest query made
TO Mr. Wattles, the company's agent
at. this port. He was as much in the
lark as any one. The only answer he
could give was the correct one-the
steamer was ufGg -bound somewhere.
In the meantime the steamer Three
Rivers arrived here from Baltimore.
The officers were asked if they had
seen anything of the Southland. They
bad not, and this laconie answer caus-
ed more depression and much relief
was experienced when the friendly
blasts of the Southland were heard.

THE RAMBLER

A lady who reads a great deal
said, last night, that slang dates far
back-that the apostles used it. TIC
prove her contention she quoted a
passage beginning believe me" But
If course she didn't prove her point
at all. The words in themselves arc
not slang. 1t depends entirely upon
how they are used and what emphasis
is laid upon them.
As a matter Of fact we all use
slang, even those Of us. who pride
ourselves upon the purity of our Eng
'ish. And this for the reason that the
newer dictionaries are now using
words which were not acceptable TO
the purists of a generation ago.
Slang is incisive-that is why it is
successful. Years ago people used to
Use French to express things which
could not be done in English without
l great deal Of vocal rambling, but
you rarely hear people using French
FOR that purpose today, just as you
10 not find many Latin or French or
Greek quotations in the writings Of
oday.
You remember how the old boys
used to seem to delight to show their
knowledge in their writings? They
lon't do it any more-people no long
2r read what they do not readily I'M
lcrstand
