INDIAN SIGN LANGUAGE.
Members of Every Difierent Tribe Can
Read These SionsIs,

y white man who visits Il foreign ma.
ton finds it hard and sometimes i'm
possible to make his most ordinary
wants Known, The red man has no
such difficulty. The problem Of a uni.
vcrSal 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 ncighbors
at home. That would also be the cast
if he visited Central America or met
the tribesmen Of our w western prai-
ries and 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 a conversation that
lasted nearly three hours. and yet nei-
Their II knew a word of the others
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 Il
distance he makes the peace sign
that is. h. holds up his blanket by two
corners so that it 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
IL Of these signs.
Then there are the abstract signs by
which these "SavagcS" can cXpre
their thoughts with regard to the
Great Spirit. heaven, good. evil. life
and death. sickness, health, riches and
poverty. Life is expressed by drawing
an imaginary thread from the mouth
and death by choppins 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 In
dian word of greeting, "How." is mere
ly the Authorization of the question,
How arc you?" But that is not so.
The word is really "aou." which means
"brother' or friend" So when he
comes up and growls on, has seemingly
inquisitive How" he is not asking
after your health, but telling you that
he is a friend.-Youth's Companion.

other people. but when you look the
record over it's so cood that criticism
m close to being nothing more
than cheap fault finding.
"a fool or a coward would have had
the United States in all sorts Of trouble.
AS 1t is, we are at peace, the country
was I'VE more prosperous, and we
have the strength that comes with
honor and integrity of purpose.
Wilson has Won victories by diplo-
macy that are far more important to
mankind than any victories that we
could have won by war.
Had we recognized Huerta it would
have served notice upon the world
that the United States. while believing
in democracy for home use, was will
ing to stand for despotism where 9TH
err peoples were concerned. President
Wilson's Mexican policy has been wise
and just and courageous.
Belgium? Hindsight, In the light
OF two years its easy to say what
should have been done. But at the
time not a single paper or a public
a even thought Of anything but
keeping the United States out Of the
European horror.
Tariff? There's another proof of
Wilson'S openness of mind. No matter
what he thought about the Underwood
law, he had the courage to admit that
the European war had returned the
tariff to the province of discussion.
SO he came to the front with his prop
osition for a tariff commission. That's
sense. The tariff is a scientific affair,
not political at all. A tariff commits
sion will lift the whole business out of
politics.
"As ! said at the start, it has Just
been one big thing after another with
Wilson.
Look at the threatened general rail-
road strike. Why, if carried through.
such a strike would have thrown the
whole country into confusion.
"ln my opinion, Mr.. Hughes, if Pres
ident. would have found it difficult to
decide on the best course for the Gov.
eminent to take in such matters. His
CAPACITY for hindsieht, as we learn
from his speeches, is highly developed,
but as to his foresight, we are not
equally we'll informed.
They say Wilson has %blundered.
Perhaps he has. But 1 notice that he
usually blunders forward.
"Mr. Wilson now has had about four
years Of experience, and I think that he
has earned faith and trust. 1 do not
think it IL sensible thing to change to
an inexperienced and untried man.
Therefore. I am for Woodrow Wilson,"
