indian IS HEALTHIER
Uncle Sans Fight to Save Race
Is Bearing Fruit.
Trachoma Largely Subdued In Schools
and Infant Mortality, Once Ap-
paIling, Reduced.

Those who think Of the Indians as
members of dying race are not ac-
quainted with the progress of the work
carried on in their behalf by Uncle
Sans department of the interior.
To struggle against tuberculosis and
trachoma, and the fight to lower high
infant mortality rate, are generally
conceded to be the greatest problems
confronting medical men of the Indi-
an office. Supplementlng the work Of
regular agency doctors, special ply
sicians at intervals visit the various
reservations, performing eye opera
tions, caring for defective teeth and
spreading information.
Already trachoma has been very
largely subdued In the schools, and
such new cases as appear generally
come from outside. Acute cases are
segregated and treated with regularity,
and at present large majority Of the
cases known are among the old and
feeble. The unhealthy manner Of liv-
ing that marks the period of transition
between the old life and the new Is
fast passing
The building of sanitary homes is
urged and the value of clean food and
cooking utensils emphasized. As re-
suit Of the campaign, there has been
within the last three years very no
ticeable falling off In the number of
illnesses and deaths from tuberculo-
sis.
Last year structures valued at $775,-
885.57 were built on Indian reserva-
tions, and included practically every
thing from frame cottages and Office
buildings to heating plants and flour
mills and laundries.
The younger generation now knows
that q sturdy child grows into sturdy
man, and great care Is taken of the
young mother In childbirth. Before
the present administration assumed
control, three-fifths of the little Indl-
ans died before they were five years
old. The Introduction and enforce
ment of modern methods has reduced
this appalling percentage, and the
health of the Indian is now, as u whole,
far better than it has been at any other
time since he came under the influence
Of the white man.

PARKS ARE DEVELOPED
New Bureau to Manage All OF
Uncle Sans Fairgrounds.
Several Already Have Been Made
seIf.supporting az Result Of
Increased Patronage.

The National Park service which
was created by congress to administer
the national parks under one correlat-
ed system has been organized. Sec
retary Lane of the interior department
has appointed as director Stephen T.
Mather who, to accept the place, re-
signed the office of assistant to the
secretary Of the interior. Horace M.
Albright becomes assistant director.
Secretary Lane began the work Of
national parks development, the sue
cess Of which is insured by the or
ganization of this new bureau, two
years and half ago. During this pre-
liminary period much has been accom-
plished of Importance to the cause.
All national parks have been opened
to automobiles. New roads have been
projected Of which many have been
built and many improved. Co-opera-
ton in the public interest has been
promoted between railroads and the
government, between concessioners
and park managements, and between
parks. Large private capital has been
induced to enter several national parks
for the enlargement and improvement
Of hotel and transportation service.
Prices to the public have been de-
creased wherever possible.
New concessions have been made on
basis destined to make national
parks self-supporting under conditions
of increased patronage, and several
parks already have become self-sup-
porting. Larger appropriations have
been secured from congress for road
building and the perfecting of sani-
tary and other conditions. An exten-
sive educational campaign has been
inaugurated for the information Of the
people concerning the hitherto un-
known quality and extent of their
scenic and recreational possessions,
under which public interest in our ma
tional parks is growing with unantici-
pated speed; and public realization,
interest and practical use Is the con-
dition as well as the object Of nation
al parks development. .,'ublic patron
age of the parks has increased rapidly
and steadily.
These and many other beginnings
point the way toward the system
which 1t will be the object of the new
service to build and perfect.

Comes From Ireland to
Reioin Soldiers Of Sea

There's a little spot in Ireland
that Michael Mcnamara had in.
his "moind's eye" for long time
thirty years, in fact. An that
time Michael was obeying or
ders, drilling, campaigning and
doing the hundred-and-one things
that fall to the lot of the Ameri-
can marine.
Michael finished his time, re-
firing with the rank of "sarjlnt
major, no less,". and went back
to that little spot in County
Mayo.
Then came our participation
In the war. Did Michael stay
retired? He did not! He came
right back, paying his own fare,
and went directly to the U. 8.
Marine corps headquarters to
volunteer his services.
Mcnamara could have signed
up with some Irish regiment, for,
despite his fifty-odd years, he is
still ''foine broth av a boy"
Instead, he braved the subma-
rines to fight under the flag that
for thirty years he had called his
own.

Freighters Devise New Scheme.
Special Correspondence A. p.

PRESIDIO, Tex. Mexican freight . CTS who are kept busy hauling all of the supplies from the railroad at Maria 6S miles away, to this border port, have devised an ingenious ar engagement of ropes and pullies for use on their great, numbering freight wagons which are drawn by from eight to twelve horses or Mexican mules.
 As the driver rides one of the wheel horses it is not possible for him to operate the hand brake which is so necessary when going down the steep mountain sides along the road. By the arrangement of a double set Of steel pullies connecting the brake with the drivers saddle, he is able to apply the brake with great force when going down grade.
 The usual way of harnessing the horses to these wagons is to have five in the front hne, four next and then two attached to the wagon by tug chains.

Forced to Lend Car for Public Ser


 vice.
 FL PASO, Tex-I4uiz Corral de Will la, wife of Francisco Villa, has been forced to use her expensive, seven- passenger automobile for public service car.
 When Mrs. Villa was here recently to obtain her jewelry, sized by cus- toms officials at the time she was forced to come to the United States, she arranged to ship her automobile to San Antonio where, she said, she would put it into public service as a jitney in order to earn living. Mrs. Villa was noted for her char ties among the poor Mexicans, caring for the widows and orphans of her husbands dead commanders and ed ucating fourteen Mexican boys in Am erican schools.
