INVESTIGATING
indian DYE SECRET
Expert Chemists Investigate Colors
Used by the North Dakota
Aborigines

Bismarck, Aug. 21.-In an effort to
relieve the dye situation, George E.
Haupt of the University Of Minnesota
and DR.. Gilbert Watson Of the Amer
lean Museum of Natural History, are
investigating the dyes used by the alb
origines.
Arickawa and Sioux Indians were
famous hundreds of years ago for
their dyes and the fast colors of bas-
ket work and beads. These colors
were produced from natural sources.
Each tribe had some one color in
which it excelled and thriving COM
merce between the tribes was carried
on.
Settlers in America did not attempt
to adopt them but were content to
bring all clothes and dye stuffs from
the old country. Yet the Indian dyes
have been known for several hundred
years for their fast colors and bril-
liancy.
Red was obtained from bloodroot.
Combining bloodroot with the root Of
the black walnut gave a purple color.
Yellow was obtained by boiling Itch
ems. Blue was obtained from wild
grapes and wood ashes boiled together.
Should it be found possible to util-
ize the Indian secrets on large scale
the present distress for dye stuffs in
the United States will be relieved.

RoosEvELT's STATEMENT
Colonel Says American People MUS
Find own Soul

Oyster Bay, April 14-Col. Roose-
Welt gave out statement yesterday
evening favoring protective ear''!
but declaring that the tariff is no.
the great issue Of the fight against
President Wilson. It is rather 1ha'
the American people must flna It's
own soul.
From his advocacy of a return 10 q
protective tariff, the ColonePs state
ment went on to the theme OF nat
ional Ahonor and America first, last
and all the time, touched upon the
Mexican situation, and closed WIN d
sentence about the "peace Of coward
ice,H pa phrase which is believed TO
have come to his mind simultaneous!
with the thought of Mr.. Wilson.
1t was the editorial announcement
of the New York Tribune yesterday:
morning that prompted Col. Roosevel:
TO make the statement. He was ask
ed if he had anything to say about
this newspapers Endorsement OF MS
candidacy for the Republican nomi-
nation for President, and he SAID IN
reply:
"Of course, I deeply appreciate
what the Tribune says of me, but
appreciate infinitely more what It
says in advocacy of the things 1ol
which | stand.
"From time to time it has recently
been announced that the fight against
Mr.. Wilson is to be waged only, or
almost only, on the tariff. Such an
appeal would be an appeal to the belly
and not to the soul of the American
nation.
"By all means provide for the things
of the body, but only on condition
that we treat the body as the servant
of the soul.
81 believe heartily in protective
tariff.
"Unless we return to protective
tariff, preferably administered
through a commission of experts, we
shall face widespread economic disas.
ter at the end of this war.
"But this is not the great issue or
which the fight is to be made If tho
highest service is to be rendered thf
American people.
"The issue is that the American
people must find its own soul. Nat
ional honor is a spiritual thing that
cannot be hagglcd over in terms OF
dollars. We must stand not only for
America first, but America first, and
last, and all the time, and without
any second.
"Our loyalty must be to the whole
United States. East and West, anc
North and South, alike, must hold the
life of every man and the honor OF
every woman on the most remote
ranch on the Mexican border as a
sacred trust to be guaranteed by the
might Of our united nation.
:"We stand for peace, but only fol
the; peace that comes as right to
the Just man armed, and not for the
peace which the coward purchases by
abject submission to wrong. The
peace of cowardice leads in the end to
war after. a record. of shame" "
