O,OOOINDIANSON
TRAIL OF KAISER

Think of 10000 American Indians
going on the war path for two years
helping to win many battles-and
then being unable to produce even
one enemy scalp as victory token.
Ugh. Wouldn't it make the spirit
o. Sitting Bull writhe in his wigwam
on the green banks OF the rivers of
the Happy Hunting Grounds?
But that is just what happened.
Mrs. Gertrude Bonnin, full-bIooded
Indian, spoke before the Anthony
League yesterday afternoon. She
told OF 10000 American Indians en-
listing in the army.
And there has come back no story
Of German scalps dangling from the
Sam Browne belts OF the bronzed
Warriors.
The days of romance must be fad
ing. for the Sioux. the Apaches. the
Cherokees. the Iroquois. the Chicka-
ssws. the Eiowas. and the SeminoleS
no longer dance the scalp dance.
The Indians are helping to bear the
White Mans Burden.

This view Of the possibilities or the

WIREMEN VOTING
TODAY ON STRIKE

CHICAGO. March 2I.-More than
100000 telegraph and telephone oper-
stors OF the Commercial TeleETa-
pliers Union Of America today began
voting on a nation wide tie-up Of the
telegraph and telephone lines.
S. J. Konenkamp, international
president OF the union, said the vote
was being taken because OF the al
legged indifferent and antag gOnistic at
Iitude OF Postmaster General Burle-
son toward members of the union.
which. Konenksnp says. has resulted
in the refusal of the telegraph com
panies TO abide by the proclamation
80 President Wilson OF april G. 1918.
requiring the telegraph companies to
Teinstate employees discharged for
membership in the union.
The telegraphers also say Burle-
sons wage scale" does not fix an
adequate scale of wages.
Should the strike vote carry. union
officials say the strike will probably
occur within a month.

SAW BLOOD STAINS
ON WILKINS SUIT

NEW YORK. March Detectives
from the Nassau County District-At-
tCruey's Office have learned that a
stained pepper-and-salt suit Of clothes
belonging to Dr. Walter X. wilkins
had been sent to an Avenue G dyeing
and cleaning establishment on March
3, four days after the physicians wife
was murdered at their summer heme
at Long Beach.
The discovery is regarded as one
OF the most important clues yet dc
yeloped in the investigation OF the
mystery.
Dr. wilkins has insisted all along
the murder was dark colored.
Three employees from the cleaning
cEtablishmept looked the accused ply
sician over in his cell in Mineola. l.. l..

that the suit he wore--it is the same
he says he wore on the night OF the

The pepper and salt suit figuring in
the new development was taken to

According to Attorney MunfOrd, OF
the dry commissioners department,
Hall and his deputies were on the
Valley pike, near Fishers Hill, yes
terday scrutiuizing each passing au-
tomobile.
When the car carrying Shackleford
and Hudson drove up. il was ordered
to halt, but the men attempted to
escape, says the prohibition attorney,
and one Of them fired at Hall.
The bullet went through Halls coat,
il is claimed. The alleged bOotleggers

the other agents.

pistol on the fleeing men and fred in

Bay May Die.
ShackIeford was killed instantly,
and Hudson suffered two bullet
wounds-oDe through the chest. the
other through the abdomen. At the
Winchester Memorial Hospital, it is
stated Hudson will probably die.
An operation was made early to-
day in an effort to save the boys
life.
Here's the story OF the attack as
Hudson from his cot in the hospital
told it to Sheriff Luther Pennstt:
I'VE were returning to Danville
from Baltimore, where we had pur-
chased twenty cases of liquor-I had
been on such trips before, but never
with Shackleford.
"As Shackleford drove the auto
mobile down the valley turnpike. near
Cedar Creek, a man stepped from the
roadside and said: Stop here, we
want to search that car
"Shaekleford asked him il he hal
a warrant. He said no. he didn' t
need one.
"'Weu, you don't search this car,
then Shackleford told him and start
cd 10 drive on.
The car had moved but few yards
before we were fred on from both
sides Of the road il seemed that >
regular army had opened up on US.
Both of US had pistols, but We
didn't have time to get them. Shackle-
ford was shot dead and fell over on
the steering wheel. ] pushed him
aside and stopped the car.
Il knew I had been wounded, but
was so excited I didn't know how
badly was hurt"

When the motor truck is more heav-
| lily loaded in front than in the rear.
skidding is apt to start earlier. On
| the other hand. if the excess load is on
the rear of the vehicle the skid will
probably be more violent.
With the small truck feet the chief
mechanic should be charged with in
spection for fabrication needs of the
vehicles. Some truck garages have
a manila slip bearing list of the
parts needing fabrication and a space
opposite. In this space the inspe ector
. notes what may be the need of the
particular part. change of oil needed,
lubricant out, part needs cleaning
and perhaps a notation that a repair
of some part is necessary.
To remove rust from the rims of
a car. jack up the rear wheels and
start the engine running on high. The
wheels will spin and emery paper is
applied to the rim with a block and
the rust will be eaten off in short
order. BY removing the tenders and
running band from a rear to front
wheel the same process may be re-
peated with the front wheels.
An excellent way to prevent hard
ening of inner tubes when they are
stored for the winter is to place them
In hot water once month or six
weeks. They should be immersed for
| just a couple of minutes and should
then be carefully dried and partly
inflated before being hung up again
This treatment serves to keep the
rubber pliable and soft.
In cases where a motor truck is to
be used in field work of any sort
it is a valuable addition to its wheel
equipment to have steel 1anges fit
ted on the outside of the wheels and
