THE REASON WHY
What rs a Totem Pole For2


Before people had individual names,
the savage people who lived in clans
or tribes referred to themselves in
the name of some natural object,
usually an animal which they. as
sumed as the name or emblem OF the
clan or tribe. These names never
applied to one individual moro than
another, but only to the clan or tribe
so that everyone in a tribe which had
taken the wolf" for it's emblem was
known as "Wolf." Later on they be-
gan to distinguish individuals by
giving them additional ~ mes charac-
teristic of the individual, such as
Lonely Wolf" Growing Wolf" or
other names. The name of this ami
NAL was then the emblem of one
tribe They, therefore, placed this
emblem upon their bodies, their
clothes, utensils, etc. Through this.
these emblems also became at times
idols of worship, and so they erected
poles upon which their emblems were
engraved. The word totem is a
North American Indian word, mean;
ing family token" The tribes called
themselves after animals from which
they believed themselves descended.

LANSING, Mich, Sept. 29.-Michigan
Democrats opened their state conven'

ticket which with former Governor
Woodbridge N. Ferris, candidate for
governor will be presented to tho
voters on Nov. 2.
The party, according to a number
of leaders. planned to nominate a
woman for secretary of state in rec

voters.
The convention had before It for
approval the state committees selec-
ton of Captain Frank A. Picard. of
Saginaw, as candidate for Lieu
tenant governor. Picard was selected
last week to fill the place on the
ticket left vacant by the withdrawal
of Colonel Guy NJ. Wilson, of Film,
who was nominated along with Mr..
! Ferris at the August primary.
Other offices for which candidates
were to be selected were attorney
general, state treasurer, two justices
of the supreme court and possibly the
state authorship. For the latter Of

international Radio System
Is Proposed by Conference
CBy Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Sept. % BY es-
contemplated proposal of the Amer1-
can commissioners to the international
communications conference which will
be held here next month to amalga-
mate into a single bureau the interna-
tional radio and telegraph conventions,
the United States may for the first
time become a party to an 1nterna-
tional telegraph agreement.
President Carlton, of the Western
Union Telegraph company, and Mer-
rill of the Postal Telegraph company.
however, are known to have recently
presented vigorous objections to the
proposed plan to the American COM
missioners. They were understood TO
have been opposed to American en-
trance into such an agreement on the
ground that it would likely promote
government ownership Of telegraph
lines in-the United States, because, it
was commended, the telegraph conven-
ton would be aimed in the interest OF
government owned lines in other
countries.
The American commissioners, it is
understood, have succeeded in over
coming these objections, arguing that
the convention to be adopted would
be general in character and aimed
merely for the facilitation of interna-
tional communication.

CASE AGAINST DOG
OWNER DISMISSED

Miss Wilma Robinson was arralgned
in city court Wednesday charged with
a violation OF an ancient and hitherto
uninforced ordinance, making 1t a mis-
demeanor to take dog into the city
market house. Justice Morgan DIS
missed the case on the recommends
ton of City Attorney Keller.
The city attorney said that the pur-
pose in Miss Robinson's arrest nao
been accomplished, that of calling To
the public's attention that dogs were
not permitted to enter the market
house, and that it was not the city's
desire to prosecute the case.
Miss Robinson was accompanied IN
to the court room by her attorney who,
smiling broadly, led in leash the cause
of all the trouble, little, white wool
ley lap-dog. -.
"He certainly don't look vicious,
remarked Justice Morgan.
The charge filed against Joseph
Pugh by Joseph Seifert, of permitting
horses at large on public road, was
dismissed on the recommendation or
the city attorney.
