INDIAN SIGN LANGUAGE
Members of Every Different Tribe Can
Read These Signals

neau neee ofSHais-
A white man who visits a foreign na-
ton finds 1t 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
yersal language was solved centuries
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 u OWL western prai-
ries and mountains.
When this language was invented no
one knows, but every Indian learns 1t
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 neil
Their one knew a word Of the others
language.
This universal language Is, of course.
made up of signs. For example, IL an
Indian Is passing through a strange
country and sees other Indians at a
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 "savages" can express
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 chopping this thread of.
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 abbreviation of the question.
"How are your" 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
inquisitive "How" he is not asking
after your health, but telling you that
he is a friend.-Youth's Companion.

To Keep Plants Fresh.

There is a simple way to water ferns
and flowers which will be of interest
to one who must leave them for a time
without care. Take a washing tub and
place three or four bricks in 1t and put
about two inches of water In the tub.
Place the flowers on these bricks and
place the tub where they a get the

San Antonio, Texas, Dec. 2-The
United States army's first caterpillar
tractor train was believed by officers
here to have started today on the
second half of it's journey over the
West Texas desert, between Maria

The train consists of q caterpillar
tractor, some what in principle like
the English tanks in France, and
four trailers loaded with lumber. Sew
eral days will be required for the 81
mile trip, which began Thursday, as

Lake, ENGINEER
OFExPRESS, WAS
OLD IN SERVICE
Bridgeport Man Killed in
Beacon Falls Wreck Had
Enviable Record.

Eugene Lake, aged 53, killed in the
Beacon Falls wreck, was one of the
most popular engineers on this di-
vision Of the New Haven road. His
jevial disposition made his easily ac-
quainted and firm friend of those
who came in regular contact with
him.
He had been railroad man all his
life, entering the employ of New
York road when comparatively young
and was an engineer at 10 years of
age.
Born in Millerton, N. Y, he cam
to this city nearly Z years ago when
he was transferred from the Central
New England Railroad. He resided
at Sd West avenue with his wife and
one daughter, whose husband was
Mrs. Russell Porter, formerly connect
ed with local newspapers but re-
Gently attached to the New York
World staff.
Lake had been in many tight places
where death stared him In the face,
and was known for his extreme
bravery. On several occasions he re-
ceived the commentator Of his SUI
periors for his judgment.
His last accident, a slight one,. oc-
CURED two weeks ago when his en-
CINE in a similar manner co1lided
with the caboose on the rear end of
freight train. In this [ incident
which occurred at Union City, a
short distance north Of the scene of
the last wreck, he was exonerated.
Three brothers and three sisters
survive him In Millerton. N. Y, and
although the body has been ordered
shipped to Bridgeport the family had
not fully decided today whether he
would be buried in this city or in the
town of his birth.
Charles Slack, aged 25, the fireman
on the Inflated Winsted exress, was
resident at Z Glen street, Water
bury, where he leaves a widow and
two children. He was born in Wa
terville and lived there until his mar
rage five years ago when he became
a resident Of Waterbury,. Besides a
widow and two children a mother,
Mrs. George Slack, three brothers
and five sisters survive him, among
whom is Mrs. Charles Kirby Of 292

THE SECRETARY OF WAR

Newton Diohl Baker, who entered
President Wilson's cabinet last march
as Secretary of War, succeeding
Lindley M. Garrison, will celebrate
his forty-fifth birthday on Sunday
Mr.. Baker was born on Dec. 8, 1871,
in Martisnburg, w. Va, the son OF
DR.. N. D. Baker. AS child he was
q bookworm, and he has never LOST
his fondness for reading, and is rare
ly seen without book under his arm
in his pocket, or somewhere within
easy reach. At Johns Hopkins he
was called a grind a .'highbrow,' .
and an "ange1s child" because Of the
disgusting avidity with which he
sopped up learning. His father was
a physician, so young Baker decided
that law offered better chances for
gaining success and renown. He had
once assisted his father in the arnpu-
tation of a patients leg. and that ex-
perience was sufficient for him. He
absorbed his legal lore at Washington
and Lee University, and In 1895 be-
came private secretary OF Postmaster
General Wilson. At the close Of the
Cleveland administration he returned
to Martinsburg and announced to his
neighbors, by means Of a modest
sign, that he was there to practice
law. There was no great rush OF
clients. SO Mr.. Baker decided to close
up his Law shop and take a little trip
abroad, where he might possibly find
a few books he hadn't read. On the
way back he became acquainted with
a Cleveland lawyer, who was srnitten
with the young barrister's qualities
and suggested that he try his luck az
a lawyer in Cleveland. The proposi.
ton looked good to young Baker, and
early in 1899 he became the Junior
partner in a Cleveland legal firm.
In Cleveland. Mr.. Baker soon made
the acquaintance of Tom L. johnson
and he became 0nS OF ths trusted
Heutenants Of that practical idealfst,
In 1895, and twice thereafter, Mr.
Baker was elected city solicitor 81
Cleveland. He was reelected. for 8
third term in 1909, the year wheH
Mayer johnson and the whole Defne-
cratic ticket except Baker were burr
ed under q Republican landslide. liz
1911 he was elected mayor of the
Ohio metropolis and was reelected
ia 1913, but refused to run a third
time.
Although still beekish and literary
in his tastes, Mr.. Baker is q faverite
OF the Cleveland common people,
as the election returns sufficiently
Indicate. In the month preceding the
election the Secretary of War was
much in the liHaeIight beeaaase Of the
allegation that his had compared the
American Revolutionary soldiers with
the Villa bandits charge which he
Iatly denied.

AUTOISTS MAY PASS
STANDING TROLLEYS
ON LEFT is RULING

In the absence OF local regula-
lions preventing the practice,
there is nothing in the state law
to prevent a motorist from driving
on the left hand side Of q standing
trolley car, according to an opin-
ion given yesterday by Attorney
General George e. Hinman.
The state statutes do not re-
ouire a person to travel at all
times on the right hand side Of
the road, and the attorney-general
finds that, as a street railway car
is not a vehicle within the
meaning OF the statute establish
ing the rules Of the highway. q
motorist may lawfully drive on
the left hand side Of the street
when passing a stationary trolley
car, except at the intersection Of
streets or highways or in case
there is a local regulation for
bidding it.
