AMERICAN INDIANS NO
LONGER VANISHING RACE

Washington, Dec. 15.-The Amer
lean Indians no longer are a vanish
ing race, but under improved health
conditions are increasing in num-
bers, according to the annual report
today by Commissioner Sells, of the
Indian Bureau.
There were 209,224 Indians when
the report was written, an increase
of 1872 over a year ago. Health
and educational campaigns, the re-
port says, reduced the general death
rate this year from $3.50 in 1000
to 1888 and cut down the number
of infant deaths from 1881 two
years ago to 1903 this year. Deaths
from tuberculosis We're reduced 40
per cent.

BETWEEN CHICAGO AND
9 NEW YORK PLANNED

Washington, Dec. Irregular
aeroplane mail service between New
York and Chicago is being consider
ed by the Postoffice Department. An

"The only difficulty / have had in
the contest so far has been the dis
position to promise subscriptions, but
to want to wait until later in the con-
test. So many friends tell me that
they will subscribe, but that they want
help me at the close of the contest,
and they don't seem to, realize that I
am losing thousands of votes by not
having the subscriptions in before Sat
urday."
This weeks big bonus vote offer
will positively not be repeated and, as
contestants know, subscriptions in The
Press contests have counted more at the
beginning then ever again, and the
same will be true in this insatnce.
Ir order to protect contestants who
set started early and who make Sc
rious effort to win throughout the
campaign it is necessary to arrange
things so that more votes can be OBJ
tanned early in the campaign, for SUBJ
scriptions, than on the last day, when,
if ever, people are most likely to spend
their own money for subscriptions.
Every effort is being made to give the
steady workers in the contest an over
whelming advantage over those who
might otherwise attempt to enter late
i,s the contest and try to win the au-
tomobile by the use of personal funds.
For this reason no subscriptions for
more than a five-year period will be
