WONDERING OVER
PILGRIM FATHERS

Plymouth, Mass.-With the three
hundredth anniversary of the landing
of the Pilgrim Fathers little more
than a year away, Plymouth is cogi-
tating eagerly and blindly as to wheth-
er "the tercentenary celebration" of
the great event is going to be held in
Plymouth or in PrOvincetOwn, on the
tip of Cape Cod, where the first land
fall of the stOrm-tosSed passengers of
the Mayfowers really took place, or

II is a fact little known to the peo-

by most histories that Plymouth has
for years been basking unjustly in
the white light of fame as the first
landing place of the Pilgrim Fa-
theirs.

FINE LACES MADE BY SQUAWs
New Industry on Indian Reservations
Said to Be Bringing independence
and Happiness.

AS one associates lace making WIN
deft fingers, it Is hard to realize that
the stoical squaw has the necessary
dlgltal equipment for this work. But
IN the Indian reservations in the far
ana middle West lace making is prov
Ing means toward economic indie
pendence for the Indian woman, the
New York Tribune states.
IL was through a deaconeSs Of the
episcopal church that lace making was
introduced to the Indian. Until then
squaWs Of the first Americans had not
engaged in the decorative arts except
10 make beaded garments for their
braves. In 1890, however, the first les
son In lace making was given to Ojib-
way SquaWS near Duluth Bishop
Wnlpple of Minnesota, one of the piO-
neer missionaries of the Episcopal
church among the redskins, early real
lZed that the solution of the Indian
problem lay in making the Indian self
supporting.
so successful were these efforts
mat today lace schools are maintained
on ten reservations. Their exquisite
examples in cutwOrk, needlepOint and
DoDDln lace have received gold medals
at hve expOSitiOns, and today the
sQuaW. without neglecting her house
mold duties, can earn from $50 to 500
year.
TO encourage just such activities
| among the Indians will be one of
the purposes of the nationwide cam
palgn of the Episcopal church. But
TO give economic independence to the
squaW has not been the only accom-
phShment of the introduction Of lace
making on the Indian reservations. 1t
has not only taught industry, but it
has brought about cleanliness.
A report of the Sybil Carter Indian
Lace association, named for the dea-
c0nesS who introduced this work,
records that this industry has trans
formed the lives of Indian women I'M
dertaking it. They can readily be
distinguished from the others by their
neat appearance and bright and hope
full faces.
A similar impression was obtained
by United States senator, who re-
ported that he had never seen a hap
pier lot of women. 'They not only
worked steadily" he said. "but actu-
ally laughed and chatted together, in
strong contrast to the apathetlc and
hopeless squaws whom Bishop Whipple
called upon Deaconess Carter to be-
friend" 1t is planned also to revive
the Old-time arts Of beadwork and bas-
kerry.
The association has a prominent
shop in New York, where the sales of
Indian work amount to about $4,000
annually.

Discharged Soldiers Who Take Over

been drowned by falling from a boat
in the bay, and where-most note
worthy fact of all-had been written
and signed in the cabin Of the May
flower what is known to the world as
the first purely democratic govern
ment ever produced. the Maytlower
compact guaranteeing to dwellers I'M
der the Pilgrim government equal
rights of living and being, no matter
what their standing may have been
in the past or what it might be in
the future. The compact was signed
on November IL, 1920, just 300 years
to a day before the date of the sign
ing Of another great democratic doc
trine, the armistice of the world war
to make the world safe for democ"
racy.
History tells US that the date of
the landing of the Pilgrims at
ProVincetown and the date of the
compact is November 81. The discrep-
ancy is due to the ten days difference
between old style time and new style
time. 1t was just one month later,
December IL, old style, or December
q, new style, that the Mayfower
poked her nose around Duxbury Point
and headed for the shore.
The tercentenary celebration must
be held in Plymouth, say the adher-
ents of the mainland towns because
besides being the historically ac-
curate place where the Pilgrims
fought their fight against humiliation
and destruction, it is more easily ac-
cessible and all around better suited
in every way. 1t has more to show
the visitors to the celebration, and
has a bigger reputation to draw them
to it.
"The celebration must oe held in
Provincetown,'' say the dwellers In
the Cape Cod claimant to the honor,
because this is the true landing
place of the Pilgrim Fathers. Here
they terminated the terrible wintry
voyage and were able to get fresh
water and fresh food at the end of
the trip; here they signed the COM
pact under which they governed the
colony; it was from the hill on which
now stands the Pilgrims Memorial
monument, that they first saw the
mainland, and it was here they spent
a month of recuperation before press
Ing ahead to the West. And we have
the monument to prove our claim"
Whether the celebration will be held
here in Plymouth or in Provincetown
or whether 1t will be held at all, are
still moot questions, and perhaps
the latter possibility is the best solu-
ton of the problem. There is still a
year to decide. and some way may be
found of averting bloodshed in the ar
gument between the two disputants for
final honors in the pilgrim Arrival

Tea Made Harmful.

Tea, "the cup that cheers but does
not inebriate," must in fact also be
reckoned among the very serious and
deleterious intoxicants, though of
course only when grossly misused. In
Ireland especially, and also in the
United States, there are many persons
addicted to the excessive drinking Of
tea which is not brewed as it should
be, but is permitted to steep and soak
for hours and even for days, until
some very harmful ingredients are ex-
traeted from the leaves, the effecrs
of which upon the nerves and brain
are in the end disastrous. There are

Iums whose minds were wrecked by

the Russian authorities had simply

fcials had done at every station for
weeks. Just before the train reached
EikOlsk the doctor aboard it had died
