Secret Of Longevity Of
Indian Is That He Lives
In Open, Eats Plain Food

Chief Manitoweg (whIte wIngs), an
Indian evangelist of the Siwash tribe,
who has been preaching In churches in
Harlem and in New Jersey. told his
auditors Of the good health and iongev-
ity Of the Indian.
THE Indian" he said. "who lives In
his native state ON the reservation nt.
tnins an age that few members Of the
white race would believe possible. I
am aware that my rnce Is rapidly be-
coming extinct, but fhis Is because 30
many Indians have followed the mode
Of life Of the paleface and the soften
ing influences Of civilization. I have
n sister who is more than one hundred
years old, and I know Indians today on
the reservations who are more than
one hundred. and whose births are a
matter of record. I am sixty-nine my
self, but my years trouble me not Mt
all. I once knew m Indian woman
who lived to be one hundred and twen-
ty-eight years old.
II am often asked what is the secret
Of the longevity Of these Indians. The
answer Is simple. so long as an Indian
will live in the open, drink pure water
only and eat plain food. Many such In
dians are at their best physically at
the age Of fifty. The Indian at fifty
still has his hair. his teeth and his
eyesight, and can run ten miles before
breakfast without an effort. I was
preaching recently at n church In New
ark, N. j., and after the service a man
of thirty-four came to me and asked
why 1t was that so many Indians had
thick hair and were not afflicted with
badness. He remarked that he had
never seen a baldheaded Indian. This
man himself was as bald US a billiard
ball.
"I will tell you. my friend I told
him, 1t Is the truth, although you will
probably not believe me. When the In
dian goes to bed he Mt once goes to
sleep; 1t is different with the white
man, who takes his troubles to bed
with him, and always has something
on his mind.'"

out In the middle of the night, or speed

to an emergency call. We also find
him taking care of more patients over

But what Of the country preacher?
He too. Is going about, using his pas
senger car to minister to the wants Of
his congregation. increasing his Sunday
attendance and helping In thousand
ways, taking the place Of the 'cir-
cult rider" but using his automobile in
his mission Of mercy.
Likewise the lawyer. the judge, the
college professor all find that the pas
senger car helps to conserve time In
their duties.
Another significant fact is that the
classification, Public Service" shows
that. comprising as it does IL per cent
Of the population, It contains 1.6 per
cent Of the automobile owners. This
branch Is composed of city and county
officials, mail carriers and men in tho
employ Of city, state or national gov
ernment. Many Of these men must
cover a wide area in their duties and
1t Is here that the motor car Is help
ing.
Helps to Speed Up Industry.
The manufacturing industry affords
another Of our vast resources. This
classification covers the factory own
er, contractor, baker, blacksmith, and
their operatives. This branch repre-
sents total of 27.9 per cent Of the
total population of the country and yet
shows only 1O.1 per cent Of the auto
mobiles owned.
Located in the cities. industry Is not
SO dependent upon the automobile, and
still every motor car in this great
branch Is doing its part in speeding
up production. In the business COM
munity having 1000 automobiles it Is
safe to say that each one in service
will save an hour a day This would
mean that such a community Is 125
working days ahead every day. Carry
these figures to the 100000 registered
automobiles in the country and It
means that the nation is 625,OOO work.

Mining Minutes With Motor Car.
The next census occupational d.
vision covers the mining. quarry ana
Oil-well industries; including owners
superintendents, fOremen ana oper-
atives. Here we found that while
this classification represented 20 per
cent of the population of the country
1t owns 81 per cent Of the automo-
bIIes. This occupation Is not one
which must necessarily cover a vide
area. Yet every hour and minute
must count. for all Of the products are
vitality necessary In the war program.
The next two classitications are
composed of hotel proprietors. restau-
rant owners. boarding house keepers.

where, we might expect to find the
passenger cars used almost wholly for
recreation. But while these two COM
bined classifications represent 11.o per
cent Of the population. they own only
80 per cent Of the automobiles.
This survey Of the automobile and
its many and diversified uses only
serves to strengthen the conclusion
that 1t constitutes the greatest trans
portatiOn force in the world.

railroads and We find the automobiles

French Women Tenderly Care
For Graves of American Boys.

Aged French women In the villages
in the rear of the American sector in
Plcardy have asked and received per-
mission to take care Of one or more
graves Of American soldiers. The af-
fection with which the villagers regard
the Americans is most pathetic. The
difficulty of language is swept aside
and the villagers share the American
sorrows and joys. In the villages
where American troops are billeted
and which are in constant danger from
enemy shells, the Americans share
their gas masks with the peasants and
teach them how to use them.

But now we have stopped to analyze

How then does the automobile at

There was only one way to find out
definitely and that was to ask the peo-

This was accomplished by getting an

The first one Is that this survey proved

Their answer was typical of the saw

power that the automobile Is making.
These people told me that the sales
man with an automobile could cover
from 10 to 20 per cent more ground.
In the city the salesman can call on
the trade more frequently. In other
words. the automobile Is the equiva-
lent of 10 to 20 per cent extra man

The motor car has been an invalu-

An Important Difference.

The gasoline situation in this coun-
try is not to be compared with that in
Europe. England and France are al
most entirely dependent upon imports
Of petroleum products and the ability
to import is limited by lack Of ships.
1t is for this reason that the use Of
motorcars for private use has had to
be suspended except for the most ur-
gent requirements. America, on the
contrary, is the worlds largest OIL
producing country and Is unable to ex-
port more than one-quarter Of its gaso-
line production. To the extent that
gasoline, kerosene and fuel oil are used
for power purposes the supply of coal
Is conserved.
