OF the work will grow rapidly. as this
use Of the airplane has already result
ed in better maps than were possible
through the old way. All OF this has
been developed during the war when
the airmen flew over enemy territory
and photographed the country, turn
ing their results over to the Survey

New. twentieth century methods "
dealing with the American Indians
will be shown by the Indian Office.
The remarkable progress made by the
Indian in the Improvement Of his
housing conditions, his adaptation Of
civilian dress and the customs and
habits of civilized life in general will
all be illustrated. The point Will be
made that the Indian is no longer a
liability to his country but rather an
important industrial asset, that he
produced foodstuffs last year valued
at more than 100000. and that he
owns live stock worth more than S31,.
900. 900.
The Indian soldiers record in the
war is the pride of the Interior Depart
ment. More than 10000 OF these
original Americans were in the ranks
and proved the highest type soldiers.

the story. To begin at the very begin
ing. one must first be introduced to
Capt. Charles Boettger, who COM
manded the gallant crew OF ninety
men and fourteen officers who set sail
on the Westward Ho from New York
harbor on January 26.
For twenty-seven years Capt. Boett.
ger has sailed the seas under the
American flag. During the war he
was in command of a mine division,
carrying mines to Glasgow. Mrs
Bcettger was born in Poland, and her
parents when last heard from lived
In Warsaw. But that was before the
German wall Of steel shut down over
the little country and cut 1t off from
the outside world. Since the war Mrs.
Boettger has not heard from her
aged parents.
So with the Stars and Stripes fly

of over $4,000. 900 had been raised by
our foreign born Americans. The
funds had been raised in response to
Mr.. Hoover's appeal that. although

sons throughout the country have had
a rather confused idea Of the real
purposes Of this great department,
which costs the people more than
$200,000,000 a year and employs more
than $1,000 persons.
The department comprises virtually
all the Government bureaus which
have to do directly or indirectly with
the making and the progress of the
home. The Reclamation Service, which
turns undeveloped lands into fertile
soil upon which homes may be built;
the education OF ilhterates, which
makes useful occupants for the
homes; fhe Patent once, which ap-
plies American genius and ingenuity
TO the home; the Geological Survey,
with its experts and engineers, which
develops the country for the home
the Bureau of Mines, which supervises
procurement OF the hidden resources
for the home-these in a general way
are branches which work together I'M
der one head. Even the far-fung ter
ritorial affairs OF Alaska and Hawaii
are under the care Of Secretary Lane.

There can be no surer insurance

taking from desert and waters and

THIS isn't the Westward Ho. you

by Charles Kingsley in his
account of the gay little band of ad-
yenturers who set sail on their fancIful
guest to the Spanish Main.
No, this is a present day story Of ro-
nance and adventure, smacking of the
sea salt, but woven Of clear fact
rather than OF fancy. In short, this is
the story Of one OF Uncle Sans own
vessels named the Westward Ho, and
now safely locked at her pier in the
East River after having borne a cargo
20 Poland more carefully guarded and
precious than the Queen of Sheba's
own jewels.
When this cargo was unloaded in
Danzig and was shipped by rail into
the interior of Poland 1t was preceded
and fanked by machine gun sections,
and every car was guarded by four to
twelve soldiers with fixed bayonets.
Were ever a queens jewels more care
fully guarded from bandits than this?
Wherever these trains stopped in
Poland they were hailed by cheering
Wrongs. When at last they reached
Warsaw crowds OF people Hooked to
the station to see them. Standing there,
most OF them barefooted and in scant,
ragged clothing. they watched these
cars unload, and as they watched a
ray OF hope frightened their wan faces
and shouts or JOY came from lips that
Tor over four years had known nothing
but anguish.
God Bless America"

Count Harodyski who saw these trains
bearing the cargo Of the Westward Ho

rotary Lane is following the tradi-
lions of his Department. The very
formation OF the Department Of the
Interior in 1849, or the Department of
the Home, as 1t was then called, was
due to the discovery that the Federal
Government up to that time had spent
800. 100000 for purposes Of military
aggression or defence, while less than
$1,000, 100000 had been spent for all
the home activities Of the nation. Tho
expenditures seemed out Of proper
ton, and Congress decided that some
thing should be done to promote the
arts Of peace and production whereby
nations are subsisted. civilization ad-
vanced and happiness secured. On
March 8, 1S49. a little more than sew
enty-one years ago, Congress passed
the act creating the Home Depart
ment. or Interior Department.
What Is the Interior Department?
Is a question often frankly asked by
the average citizen.

tivities and the haphazard adding Of

sailors were on the road to recovery
For four years and q half this canal

submarines. The Westward Ho was
the first ship to go through it after
the signing OF the armistice.

As the canal is very narrow and

Boettger in answer to this question,

Is no doubt that the German people

say themselves, to the straw and other
unwholesome substitutes that were

To the many questions OF the Ger

was going to give them food Capt.
Boettger's answer was always the
same. Incidentally he voiced the policy

The First Auto Patent.
The first automobile, for example,
was patented by George b. Selden on
November 5, 1895. His application be-

says. "is the production of a safe, sim

INTEREST HIGH AT
 AUTO SHOW TO NAME
 MOST POPULAR GIRL

Much interest is being shown by girls of Maricopa county in the most popular girl contest being held at the Automobile show this week. The con- test, which is open to all young women of the county. closes Saturday night, when the votes cast during the week will be counted
 Cal Messner, Phoenix automobile dealer, has been appointed committee of one to receive the applications, which are sent in in the form of photo graphs, accompanied by the name and address of the applicant. The photo graph is then marked with an identi- fication number and placed in a large frame in the Automobile show at Polk and Second streets.
 The name of the young woman con- testant does not appear with the pie ture, but the voters mark their ballots with the number which accompanies the photograph of the girl whom they choose. The girl who receives the greatest number of votes, when the ballots are counted Saturday night, the last night of the popular show, will then be adjudged and officially an- nounced queen of the show
 In addition to the honor of being chosen most popular girl, the queen will be presented with handsome dia- mond brooch valued at $50, by Mack Gardner, local diamond merchant.
 Photographs will be received all day today and tomorrow by Cal Messner who is in charge of the contest, but the sooner they are sent in, the better chance the contestant has of winning the beautiful prize and the accom- panying honor.
