REDS ARE MAKING PROGRESS
Indians Learn English Language and
Take Up the Ways of
Civilization.

Twenty thousand Indians have
learned to read and write the English
language in the last four years. There
are now $4,000, or 80 per cent of the
total, who can use English. More than
10000 Indians have discarded the
native dress and adopted the white
mans costume.
The income of the Indians from
various sources is now more than $685.
100000, an increase of 100000 in
four years. They own $30,000OOO
worth of live stock and are cultivating
678,527 acres of land. There are &c.
600 actual farmers, an increase of T.
600 in the last three years.
Living conditions are better among
the Indians. They are gradually turn
ing away from the medicine man when
in need of medical attention, and as
a consequence the death rate has fall
en- from 80 to 1000 in 1915 to a little
more than % per 1000 in 1916. The
death rate from tuberculosis has been
reduced Is per cent. Better sanitary
conditions have reduced the death
rate of children. In 1914 there were
1891 deaths of children under three
years of age, and in 1916 there were
only 1903 deaths.

LUMINOUS HATS IN LONDON
Devised to Check Rise in Night Acct.
dents in Streets of the British
Metropolis.

Under the heading Luminous Hats
for London, or a Wartime Device for
Darkened Streets" the British official
press bureau has issued the following
article, the New York Times states:
London has invented, for wartime
use, a luminous hat whose dull phos-
phorescent blue helps to reduce the
risk of collision in London's darkened
streets. Both men and women are
wearing the new luminous hats,
warned thereto by the terrible rise
In the number of street accidents since
precautionary measures against Yep
pelins compelled the blackening of the
street lamps. These accidents, most
of them occurring after dark, totaled
34,575 during the first nine months of
1916. OF these SIT were mortal. Re-
Gently coroner suggested that wom-
en- should wear white hats at night
time. A tradesman took the hint and
invented the luminous hat. This is
his story:
"The difficulty, of course, was to
find suitable substance. Phosphorus
is too dangerous-it Is inf1ammable. 1t
smells and would probably damage
the hat. I discovered a firm who are
employing mixture Of sulphides made
into liquid. 1t does not damage the
material, is invisible by day, and gives
off a striking blush light at night.
Moreover, the more it is exposed to
daylight or artificial light-the more
1t shines. The firm have used it sue
cessfully on the surface of paper, and
luminous paper is now made in large
sheets and is, l understand, already be-
ing extensively employed.
"'But the paint was the stuff for my
hat. painted the band Of a hat and
also the quilts and hatpins and per-
suaded a well-known lady to try the
experiment. 1t certainly made walk
ing very much easier and less of q
strain. People got out Of the way
some of them rather anxiously,
think; but that was only because of
the novelty of the thing. The stuff
does not seem to have spoiled the
hat"
