NAVAJO SQUAWS MAKE
DONATION TO RED CROSS

Salt Lake City. Utah. Oct. 2.-ln-
dians of the Navajo reservation. San
Juan county. Utah, have made a
unique contribution to the American
Red Cross in six genuine Navajo
blankets. The blankets we're recent
ly completed and given to the Red
Cross chapter at Monticello. county
seat of San Juan county.
What is considered unusual is the
fact that they are genuine Navajo
blankets. and that they should have
come from the squaws on the reser-
tion TO the Red Cross unsolicited.
The average time required in making
a genuine Navajo blanket, five by six
feet, is 80 days. according to experts.
The blankets bear the red cross on
white and gray fields.

THE UNDISTURBED TURK

A late dispatch from the Near East
reads as follows: practically the en-
tire male population of Armenia will
be exterminated unless the Turks
and Tartars are checked by some
outside force" In fact the situation
is described by an American as ter
rible beyond description" Yet our
administration, and England and
France, processing to be doing so
much for humanity" are turning
deaf ears to the appeals for help.
Why are United States troops sta
TONED in Siberia and other parts of
Burope-to menace people with
whom we are not at war-while a
whole nation, although small ma
ton, is being massacred by the
Turks? This is one of the secrets"
tnat congress is trying to find out.

In order that farm labor may be
on parity with other labor, farmers
Of Indiana are demanding a ten-hour
day for city industries" A hope
less request The only way for the
farmer to meet conditions is to de-
mand more for his produce and pay
better wages in order to get men
who will really do days work. Two
good hands on farm are worth a
half dozen who shirk on the job.
Efficiency will never be attained un-
less little brain work and spirit of
fairness are thrown in-both by EN-
ployer and employe.

GERMANS DID SOWING,
ENGLISH DID REAP|NG

London. Oct. 9.-German u-boats
tried to bottle up the British Grand

latter part OF the war, says London
paper which describes this as the
most ambitious tactical operation un-
dertaken by enemy undersea craft,
The scheme aimed at the blocking

the sowing OF big minefleNi, Three

to the task by a considerable fleet OF

ed, they we're cleared away.
II is recalled that other similar at
tempts to trap the fleet were made
in 1918 In the Moray Firth. when
over 400 mines were laid. and In
1916 at the 0rnkeys. In round mum
bers, on these three occasions. the
Germans laid l,i00 mines at cost
OF $1,000 each. The King Edward
was the only fighting ship that fell
victim in these operations.
Enormous members OF mines were
laid by the Germans on Harwich. I,
was found that these fields were
spread regularly at ten-daS intervals

portions OF these waters unswept SC
that when the next batch OF submar
ines came along they ran atoul ot

The task OF clearing British water,

Armenia, although beaten to earth
and unable to help win the war
against Germany, Austria and Tur-
key, is really one of the entente, so
far as her views and sympathies are
concerned, therefore why is Turkey

THE OLDEST SHIP

About the year 1880. when An
drew Jackson was president and
when the Monroe Doctrine was just
beginning to win little recognition,
a trim sloop named the Hudson sail
ed from New York harbor on her
first voyage. She piled up and down
the coast for more than 40 years,
carrying cargo.
Even then her usefulness was not
over. She was taken to a Maine
shipyard. refitted as schooner, and
went back to work as the Joanna
Durgain. After 20 years or so she
looked rather rundown, and was
again hauled out and refitted. She
saw service again for many years
Just how many 1t is hard to say
and then had few years of well
earned rest.
But the old ship lying at her old
dock still had life in her. The big
war set shipping men hunting every
where for seaworthy craft, and gave
new value to old bottoms. Accord
ingly. the other day the Poanna Dur
gain came into harbor at Bangor,
Me-. once more. looking spick and
span, and able to do her bit still
along with any wind-jammer of her
size and build.
A man of 80 is pretty old. A ship
OF that age is reckoned older yet. To
most people. a vessel is a frail thing
of but few years experience. Think
of the strength of ship that can
stand the buffetings of the sea and
the wear and tear of cargo and dock
for nearly century Steel would not
have stood it but the timbers and
planks held and survived. It is a
triumph for the wooden ship.
The shipbuilders builded we'll in
those olden days, just as did the car
penters who built the houses and
barns that have defied the weather
and use of a century or more. Is
there no more such workmanship, or
no more such material?
Both, perhaps, could be found if
the present generation had enough
respect for durability, and was will
ing to pay the price to get it-a price
probably no higher in proportion to
other values than the older genera
tion paid.
