CHIEF TAHAN TEACHES BOYS
To Make Fire By Friction
With 'sMother-Piece" and "Fire-Stick'

of the things they do. Somebody I
presume who had been among the
Indians learned from them how to
do it, and then taught it to the Boy
Scouts.
Well, here is my old hearth piece
with holes burned in it. A long time
ago the Indians called this the
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS." o n Good Mother"
Next, here is my fire stick, or drill.
You can see that it is not smooth, but
that it has several n on 1t. The
old time Indians used to call this
stick THE Kind-Father-One." Now
then I put the string of the hre-bow
once around the stick,"you can see
that all the time the string is tied to
each end of the bow; and now l put
this little stone with q place in 1t to
fit over the top of the drill, with q
little grease in it so that it will not
take fire at hat end when l begin
to work the bow. Now I taxi the
little stone in my left hand on top
of the drill, take the end of h bow
in my right hand. But first l put
this powdered cedar bark under the
notch of the "Mother-Piece, nov
then, 1 put the end of the drill on the
notch, and all is ready to begin. See,
1 push the bow from me, draw it
back, keep on doing that, faster and
faSter-now watch. SCI the smoke 3!
Wait a little. There now, there is a
spark on the powdered bark under
the notch, and the end of the drill.
Now-wait-a-moment till / blow it
-with=my breath. There! we have
a blaze. Now I'll put some of this
dry grass and twigs on its, and pretty
soon We'll have a good fire.
The long-ago-time Indians believ-
ed that fire is a thing that has life
like an animal-that it is a kind or
an animal thing, for it eats almost
anything you give it. They believe
that it has been inside the wood ever
since the Thunderbird up in the sky
batted his ayes so fast hat much fire
Cightning) came out of them and
struck a tree. When the old time
Indian made his fire by friction he
SAN his fire song or prayer, to his
God, that the "Mystery-animal'
might be born of the 'Father-Mother
wood-sticks." No matter how much
fire there was in the village he al
ways made a new fire by friction for
his religious ceremonies.
1t used to be q law that when a
messenger approached q camp al
night, he had to carry a torch to
show that he was a friend. For they
said that a friend was not afraid to
be seer in the fire-shine, and that a
good man would always carry his
light with him.

My talks with Mary took me often
to her hotel. The place fascinated
me. 1t was n of the architectural
achievements of the century. just as
the pyramids were OF their time.
Mary's hotel Is one of the largest
caravanseries Of the world. Its stories
count up to the twenties and its
guests mount by special express ele-
vators IL they room higher thar the
tenth floor.
1t contains three enormous dining
rooms, a cafeteria, a roof garden n
a tea room, with special dining rooms,
large and small, attached to suites of
various proportions. Very few persons
ever explore the entire hotel. Most
r content to read the long directory
of places posted in the lobby.
What 1 like best about the place
is the fact that the hot water eve
gets tepid in my bathroom and iced
drinking water flows from its special
tap!" said Mary and ] agreed with
her that hot water is a woman's
supreme test of a hotel-as it is of a
kitchen.
Mary and I prowled about the place
as if it were Aladdin's magical palace.
We delighted in the curved door
panels which swing open at a touch
and conceal suits inc shoes designed
for a valet whit takes n returns
them without making q disturbing
sound
We admired the shaded electric
light placed in the hea of the bed,
above the pillows, so that n might
read or write while resting, or tell
the time of the night without getting
out of bed.
And if you don't want to get up
in the morning, here's a neat little
card of warning to hang outside the
door!" announced Mary. And a
morning paper is slipped into your
room! A phone at your bedside
keeps you in touch with the world
you can make your engagements for
the day before you get up. And that
early cali for a train is robbed of
its disagreeable shock because 1t
comes over the phone as a pleasant,
'Good-morning! 1t is six a. m! And
in a girls tones-enough to make

there was a woman at a desk in evera

DOPE" CLINIC WILL Be
PLACED in OPERATION
INDoRsED BY CITY AND
U. s. OFFICIALS.
Claim Sole Objections Come
From Certain Glass of
Physicians.

The plan for treating the dope
fiends" as worked out by the city
officials and George Draper. Of ths
internal revenue department. has no,
only been heartily approved OF by
United States District Attorney w
r. Kenneriy. but has also proved
most effective in Memphis and At
lanta, local health officials stated to-
day. In Memphis 1t originated
through the United States district
attorney. w. d. Kayser, who has
probably tried the largest number
of narcotic cases of any district at
torney in this section of the coun-
try.
The fact that the plan has beer
Endorsed by District Attorney Ken
nerly has practically assured Its
success, and 1t is the intention OF
the health officials to put it In full
operation.
It is charged that the greatest
complaint that is being made to the
plan Is coming from physicians. The
disapproval Is said to be from the
class who have been enriching them
selves by the writing of prescrip-
lions for narcotics.
Draper in Defense.
In answering the complaint that
tablishing of a clinic here will be
more or less of an attraction to the
dope flends from other cities, Mr.
Draper declared that ii will have just
the opposite effect. He states that
when the issuing of prescriptions is
placed in the hands of the city, thus
centralizing the authority, the users
Of narcotics, will know that they can
get just so much and no more. { The
plan is to have asrecord kept of each
case by the card system and have
DR.. Hiram A. Laws, who has been
placed in charge Of this work by
Commissioner Huffaker, issue the
treatments daily. Each time the adj
diets call their doses will be reduced,
and under no consideration will the
doses be increased.
A plan has been worked out by
Mr.. Huffaker so that the users of
dope who call at the municipal build
ing will not in any way come in con-
tact with the employees. The clinic
will only be operated between the
hours from 1880 to $3.50 o'clock in
the morning and $3.50 to $3.50 o'clock
in the afternoon. which is before and
after the employees of the city hall
report for duty. 1t will be conducted
in the basement. Narcotics will only
be furnished as curative.
BY having this handled through one
channel it Is thought that real re-
suits will be obtained. Some of the
lawyers of the city have declared
that this plan of establishing clinic
is not legal: however, it is believed
that if it had not been, District At
torney Kennerly would not have ap-
proved of it.
Commissioners Huffaker declared
Friday morning that under no con-
ditions will dope fiends'' be per-
mitted to come on the premises of
the municipal building during the
hours between 8 am. and pm. In
addition to this they will not be ad-
mitted to the doctors Office at all for
treatment. These rules will be
strictly adhered to.
