A real, sure-enough Indian princess,
is going to France to help entertain
the American soldiers and sailors until
the last one of them has been returned
to the United States.
She is Princess Galilohi, great
granddaughter of the famous King
Cooweeskowee, chief Of the Cherokees,
and her mission in France will be in
connection with the canteen work of
the Y. M. G. A. Her Americani2ed name
is Miss Anne Ross and for two years
or more she has appeared as a lecturer,
singer, dancer and exponent Of the tri-
bal life of her chosen people, She was
chosen to pose for the Zolnay statue
Of Sequoia, an ancestor of the Chero-
kee nation and inventor of the tribal
alphabet. This statute stands in the
Hall of Fame at Washington, D. C.
The princess will have a rather di.
versified program. She will sing In
dian songs and dance Indian dances
for the American soldiers and sailors
and between times will dispense the
dozens of different articles that are
part of the stock of every Y. M. C. A.
oanteen. She is highly educated and
has several times acted as a mediator
between her people and the white resi-.
dents of Oklahoma her native state.

MANY PACKAGES.
WITHOUT MARKS
ARE LOST" HERE

Ways and means for checking the
waste caused by improper wrapping
and marking Of express shipments
were discussed today at the second
meeting of local express employees. in
the better service campaign being
conducted throughout the country by
the American Railway Express Com
pany.
f. M. H Mcdonald, the local agent,
and members Of the local Better Ser
vice Campaign committee, composed
of employees of the city offices, acted
as -Four Minute" speakers and ad-
dressed meetings of men and women
employed in different branches of the
business here. It was intimated that
through the cooperation of local bust
ness houses, the drive for higher stan
'dards of preparing shipments for
movement by express was making it
self felt. The appearance of express
matter being handled through the city
terminals has greatly improved.
Particular emphasis during the
meetings was laid upon the immense
number of shipments which must be
turned over to mo Mark Bureaus. -
because all means of Identification
have been lost as the result of a sim
gle tag being torn off or the wrapping
being Insecure. This evil was attrib-
uted largely to the poor quality of
paper and Irvine used by some shipping
departments, as well as to careless
ness in addressing packages.
It was pointed out that the mo
Mark Bureaus" of the company re-
ceive on the average of about Is ship
.ments monthly from this city. Despite
constant effort to discover some ,meaas
of setting these shipments on the right
track only a small percentage can be
recovered. This brings about a great
deal of dissatisfaction between the
shipper and the consignee, to say
nothing of the time and trouble in
volved in filing a claim. The express
men at the meeting showed no little
enthusiasm, when Agent Mcdonald
urged them to declare war on this
waste
Never before in the history of trans
portation, the. local express head, de-
clared, has there been such deter
mind effort on the part of public
utility to better its service. The drive
Is of marked Importance to every bust
ness man, because the subject repre-
sents a matter of dollars and cents to
them. He expressed a belief that if
business heads would take a personal
interest in their shipping departments
to see that the best methods were be-
ing followed in the matter of packing
and marking shipments, it would be of
great help in bringing about better
express service. The cooperation of
shippers is absolutely essential to the
success sof the present drive, he said

Liquor May Be Taken Across Pro-
hibition State.

Transportation Of intoxicating liquors for
beverage purposes through dry" State
is not prohibited under the Reed Prohibi-
ton amendment. the Supreme Court held
Monday in an opinion interpreting that
act.
The opinion was rendered in proceedings
resulting from the arrest Of Homer Gudger
at Lynchburg, Va, under the law while
en- route on a passenger train from Balti-
more. Md, to Ashville, N. C. The Federal
District Court dismissed the indictment
against him. holding in effect that although
carried across State, intoxicants are not
transported into" the State If their ulti-
mate destination is a point beyond the
limits Of that State.
The court, in unanimous opinion. rem
dered by Chief Justice White, held that
there was no ground for holding that the
prohibition Of the statute against trans
porting liquor in interstate commerce into
any State or territory the laws Of which
prohibit the manufacture ETC., includes
the movement in interstate commerce
through such State into another"
mo calculation Of the text" said the
Chief Justice. sis needed to add cogency
to this plain meaning which would, how
ever, be reinforced by the context il there
were need to resort to II. since the con-
text makes clear that the word into. as
used in the statute referred to the State of
destination and not to the means by which
that end is reached-the movement through
one State as a mere incident Of transpor-
tation to the State which II is shipped.
THE suggestion made in arguments that
although the personal carriage Of liquor
through one State as a means Of carrying
1t beyond into another State violates the
statute. ii does not necessarily follow that
transportation by common carrier through
o State for like purpose would be such
violation. because Of the more facile OPP
in the one case than In the
other, for violating the law Of the State
through which the liquor is carried. is

Physical Defects OF Americans.

"Ihirty-three per cent Of the men in the
first draft were rejected as physically un-
mt. remarked E. Dana Caulkins. national
manager of the national physical educa-
ton service. Allowing for underweight
and special sensory defects. not less than
rs per cent were rejected for real physi-
cal unfitness. This means that $780,
600 men between the ages of 81 and 80
were unfit for military service. There are
25.000,000 boys and girls OF school age,
and numerous investigations show that at
least SO per cent Of these have defects
and ailments that impede normal devel-
opment in greater or less degree. They
lack positive physical education. such as
play. athletics, gymnastics and work, all
OF which are necessary to realize their
potential man and woman power. These
last four years Of extraordinary demand
for unlimited man power and woman power
have focused the attention of the world
upon essentials, but neglected values Of
physical education.
universal physical education Is neither
substitute for nor an adjunct to military
training. 1t is program for producing
men and women physically fit for what
ever may be the responsibilities Of citizen
ship. This end is to be accomplished by
physically educating the boys and girls
during the period Of immaturity and by
encouraging in adults those physical ac-
tivities essential to the continuation Of
health and bodily vigor. The national phys
ical education service was organized by
the Playground and Recreation Association
at the request Of the national committee
on physical education, composed of more
than SO national organizations concerned
with the conservation of child life and
with the consequent production of a Wig
orous and enduring citizenship. The aim
is broad program Of State and Federal
legislation for physical education and the
stimulation of intelligent and popular opin-
ion which will secure both legislation and
its effective operation"
