sought out the Penobscot tribesman
to guide them thru the Northern
wilds, and paddle their canoes thru
the treacherous waters, while the
women remaining in the tepees wove
the gorgeous baskets and beaded and
buckskin garments.
Watahwaso's father was then a
recognized authority in Indian his
tory and folklore and a speaker OF
distinct charm. Often accompanying
him was his little princess charming
and demure, who with remarkable
skill sang the tribal songs and chants
and gracefully danced the ceremonial
Indian dances. Up to this time, her
only tutors had been Sisters Of Mercy
in their Indian school.
A professor from Cambridge, in
curing among the Penobscots for
information concerning an ancestor
whom that tribe had taken prisoner
in the French and Indian War, dis
covered that Watahwaso's ances-
tors had beiriended his relative, the
prisoner. In gratitude for this, and
in appreciation OF the remarkable
talent displayed by the little prin-
cess, he arranged for her schooling
at Cambridge, including study with
masters in musical art.
Thus she has come to her own,
an artist supreme in the portrayal
of Indian lore and in the interpre-
tation of Indian music and dances,
She has appeared several times
recently in Chicago, before large
and appreeiative audiences, in her
legends, songs and dances.
She will be accompanied in each
of her programs on her Chautauqua
! tour by a pianist.

The amendment which makes every dry state ipso facto ''bone dry was intro duced by Senator Reed of Missouri a local optionist. He declared in the Senate that it was his intention to give the pro- bibitionists that which they have for years been praying for. In the Senate, the leader of the prohibitionists, Senator Kenyon of Iowa, opposed the amendment. In the House, prohibitionists, little fear ing the Greeks bearing gifts, walked into the alleged trap. Local oplionists joined with them in making the passage of the Reed amendment practically unanimous. As a result in Alabama it will soon be no longer possible for the bibulous to auench their thrsts by means of the two quart per two weeks limitation. Here after, no Alabamian will dare defy the law by submitting an order, and no rail- road will dare defy the law to the extent Of transporting beverages.
 HOW ALABAMIANS VOTED
 Prohbitionists on the Alabama delega- ton were not as tardy in perceiving the handwriting on the wall as prohibitionists from the majority of other states The vote of the delegation was to against the amendment MT. Huddleston evad- ing the issue by not putting in an ap- pearance, and MT. Oliver, a prohibitions ist, voting present. Mir. Steagall, pro- hibitionist, certain that the Reed amend lnent would play havoc with prohibition in states already dry, boldly voted against the amendment.

 PROHIBITIONISTS DIVIDED
 Advocates of prohibition divided among themselves over the expediency of the step, some friends of the cause declaring so drastic law would have reaction ary effect. In the same way those who have opposed prohibition were not unani- nous in opposition when the vote was taken. The roll call brought cheers and cries of Bone Dry' from all parts of the House, however and the result was greeted with noisy demonstration.
 The vote as officially announced was S21 to 72. but re-check of the roll changed it to sl9 to P. Party lines were completely broken down and numerous representatives from prohibition states wore recorded in the negative. So large vote seldom is recorded on any. meas ure.
