Make All New Streets Wider

of the Chamber of Commerce has
notified the city council that its

Not many, and yet Lithuania has
had dramatic, if rather unchron-

Lithuania is the northernmost

of Poland, with a seacoast line of
100 miles on the Baltic sea.
Lithuania has retained her ma
tiOnal characteristics, in spite of
hundreds of years of attempted de
naturalization by Germans, Poles,
and Russians successfully. Edicts
against her language, her religion,
her customs, political repression
and economic tyranny have all

Teutonic nor Slavic, but a separate
branch of the Indo-European race,

The Nauijo Indians

How many Of you Juniors have

Indians make? The colors that are

real American Indians, they look
very much like some Indian tribes
of Asia and Africa. They are

much less civilized than many 9th

keep the old customs of their an

and worship anything which has
life and power, which they cannot

bears and snakes.
Their tbe numbers about $4,000

have no fixed homes, but are con-
stantly wandering, which does not
surprise you when you see what
kind of dirt novels they live in. No
one would want to stay very many
years in such place as that. They
have flocks of sheep and goats.
from which they get mutton and
milk, and can support themselves.
Luxuries are not theirs, and few
comforts, but they are a happy
hearted people. careless, mostly ig

mutton and coffee is their most
