TIE SQUAW'S SHAWL
Her Method of Securing Exclusive,
ness of Pattern.


The Indian wears his blanket on
the hottest summer days. His theory
is that if it keeps out the cold in
winter it will keep out the heat in
summer, says Ben NJ. Myers of Ok
lahoma City, Okla.
While he might not care to buy
anything else expensive the price Of
a suitable blanket is never questioned,
but it would be difficult indeed to de-
ceive him as to the texture of any
robe.
"a squaw will initiate almost any
thing that pleases her fancy, but in
the matter of her blanket or shawl
she exhibits an unusual amount OF in
dividuality. With great care and pa
ticnce she designs her blanket and
when she places the order with the
mill man he does not dare duplicate
it until she has had an opportunity
to wear ii.
'If she makes the request that it
shall not be duplicated her wishes
are regarded, because it is the one
article she possesses in which eX-
clusiyeness is much coveted, and also
because what would please one squaw
would not appear at all attractive to
another.
",rhe lightweight shawl or blanket
is thrown over the head of the squaw,
and unless she is able to purchase a
bright colorcd silk kerchef it will
serve as her only bonnet as well. 1t
is just as common sight now to see
the papoose securely bound on the
back of its mother by portion of her
blanket as it used to be to see the wee
head of the Indian babe peeping from
the texas, or frame cradle"

SAY DISSOLUTION IS
REORGANIZATION STEP
Russian Mission Members
Say Move IS Not Hostile.

Washington, juno 25.-Thc dissolu-
ton of the duma and the council of
empire, urged by the Pan Russian
conference of Workmen's and Soldiers
councils, was explained by members
of the Russian mission session here
today as merely a step in the building
up of a new government in Russia It
does not indicate the slightest hos
tility. it was said, between the coun-
ellis and the other parts of the govern
ment.
The duma, it was explained. ceased
to exist when after its dissolution by
the ear and its later extraordinary
sessions it created out of itself the
provisional government. TO this gov
eminent it entrusted Legislative, OK
ecutive and judicial powers and with
its birth the duma itself was dis
solved.
The council of empire was even less
stated, as it was composed of APP
pointees of the car selected from va :
riouS classes. such as capital, edu-
cation, agriculture and former minis
tiers.
Special Ambassador Bekhmetieff OF
the mission will address the senate to-
morrow with special reference to tn
foreign relations of the new pro-
visional Russian government.

CHICAGO GRAIN

Chicago, June 2.-Consdcrable bear
ish influence was exerted on the grain
markets today by the likelihood that
the food control bill would soon be-
come a law. Wheat finished 2 to 4
lower but steady; corn closed y Oft
to I " advance and oats unchanged to
"A as down. Provisions finished
irregular. ranging from 25 cents de-
cline to a rise of 2,a aD5 cents.
Broad authority which seemed vir-
tually certain to- regulate food dstri-
button in perhaps less than a fortnight
put bulls at an immediate disadvan-
tage in the wheat trade. 1t was taken
for granted that the effect Of the new
law would be to prevent in the future
any extraordinary soaring of prices
Welcome rains in the spring wheat
region, especially in the dry sections
of North Dakota tended further tc
weaken values.
In view of the outlook for prohibi
ton of the use OF corn for the manu-
facture Of alcoholic beverages, de
clines in the price of corn were no sur
prise.
oats temporarily felt the effect OF
the prohibition rider on the food con-
troll bill. A huge amount of barley
that would otherwise be used for brew
ing was expected now to come into
competition with oats as feed.
Provisions averaged lower with hogs
and grain. 1t was said the Belgian
relief commission had withdrawn re-
quests for offers of provisions.
