 Then the revelations began. One by one her jewels disappeared. Price did not have the income he had boast ed of, she said, and the presents he had bestowed upon her had to be dis posed of that they might live.
 Mrs. Price said she believed In the innocence of her husband up to the very last minute. His pleading guilty to charge that he had defrauded a Chicago woman out of $14.000 was a complete surprise.

Indians Part tn the War.
 Probably nothing is of greater inter- est in the report than the chronicle of the part the Indians played in the war, and the benefit military service has proved to them. So noteworthy has this been that the heading given to this section of the report is "War as a Civilizer." Probably nothing more helpful has come to this ancient race," it reads, "than the enrolment of 10000 of it's sons simply as Ameri- can soldiers to challenge the barbarous rule of central Europe. The immedi- ate benefit comes from the equal op- portunity they had with their white comrades for gaining knowledge, for maturing judgment, for developing courage through contact with events and conditions"
 Numerous Indians won medals and recognition for distinguished service abroad. Their citations rank them with the bravest of the brave. The most striking is that of Private Joseph Oklahombi, 8 full-blood Choctaw, com pany D, One Hundred and Forty-first infantry, Bismarck, Oklahoma. His ci- tation reads as follows:
 Under violent barrage, Private 0klahombi dashed to the attack of an enemy position, covering about 210 yards through barbea-wire entangle- ments. He rushed on machine gun nests capturing I'll prisoners. He

stormed a strongly held position con taining more than 30 machine guns and a number of trench mortars. Turned the captured guns on the enemy and held the position four days in spite of a constant barrage of large projectiles and of gas shells. Crossed No Mans land many times to get information concerning the enemy, and to assist his wounded comrades"
 Progress in Education.
 Satisfactory progress is being made in the matter os education. The policy of encouraging Indian children to attend the state public schools, the fed eral government paying the tuition therefor, is growing in favor. Any prejudice on the part of white mem bers of the schools against the Indian is rapidly disappearing. The educa- tional program that is now under way is to provide for Indian children's attendance at public schools wherever the facilities are available and main tain special reservation schools only where the facilities are not adequate.
 Industrial education is receiving large attention. an impetus having been given it by the war. According to the reports of various superintendepts, the Indian soldiers have returned with u greater self-confdence, an ambition to engage in useful occupations and a desire to fulfill the obligations to country by living up to all the require ments of citizenship. Agriculture is being encouraged and trade schools es- tablished. Health conditions are re- ported satisfactorily improved. with the exception of the inroads made by the influenza.

Cahill of Oakland, Cal, which has just been adopted by Maj. Charles J. Glidden, executive secretary of the aerial derby commis- sion. now on his way to the far East, and who gave the map his approval before leaving here.
 Mir. Cahill, who is the originator of San Francisco's S12,O00OO0 "civic cen the Mercator projection as a guide, would go 1000 miles out of his way in a trip from Panama to Yokohama.
 'If the north pole were on an island a mile wide" he said, "it would ap- pear on Mercators projection to be 25,000 miles wide, or nearly the total circumference of the earth at the equator"
 Advances Rational Geography"
 The inventor of the new map, who worked on his drawings fifteen years, said that ian impartial and rational world geography is essential to world peace" He said that Mercator's pro- jection, which was originally devised by the Belgian cartographer as guide for navigators, distorted and exaggerated the earth as it re- ceded from the equator" This, for instance, made it appear as if South America were much smaller than North America, when as a matter of fact, he said, they were about the same area.

 A nation looking unduly expanded on the map may easily, Mir. Cahill says, develop sort of geographical bearing diplomacy. A nation whose territory is so unduly exaggerated on the maps in common use may well come to exaggerate its resources, its economic strength and even it's yir- tues, and 50 create an atmosphere any thing but conducive to mutual I,ood will and consequent world peace.
 "Butterfly" Map Simple.
 All problems of intercommunication by sea, land or air are baffiing and misleading on Mercator's chart, says Mir. Cahill, but simple and obvious on the butterfly" map. further aid to mutual knowledge and understanding.

 Graphical statistics are self-con- tradictory and ludicrous on Mercator's chart. and as for indicating the prog ress of high and low pressure rings in weather charts, the ever changing scale on Mercator's was simply bewil- dering to the forecaster who had to ueSo thov,.
