TRAVELETTE
By Niksah N Al EDI 2

The customs Of modern civilization and primitive tradition are curiouslv mixed in Walpole, an Indian reserva- ton in Canada just across the border line from Michigan. The Indian is proud of being as much like the white man as possible. but he still has t,g.- instincts of his fathers and they in sist upon being recognized. So he wears a derby hat and a gorgeoUsly beaded vest He hangs around the white dance hall. of the nearby village of Algonac, but always gives his na- tive dances on festive occasions He lives in an ugly frame house 1T he is wealthy enough, or fl not planes the bark from his pictureque log cabin and makes it even worse by white washing il. But he uses his oldtime dugout canoe, in his journeys up and down the beautiful St. Claire river.
 Life in Walpole centers arOnd the church. The Indians are deeply re- ligious. most of them being Catholics although there are enough who have deserted the great spirit for the Methodist God to support g church of that denomination also. The priest is white but he breaches in Indian and then repeats his sermon in English During the fair in October. the event Of the year iu Walpole. the church is used as an exhibition hall for the In dian handicrafts, baskets. leather goods and beadwork.
 one of the most interesting features of the settlement is the Indian grave yard on a bluff at the fork of the St. Claire and SnyeCarte rivers. Here there is an Indian mound full of the bones of long departed aboriginees. and many more recent graves including those of several chiefs In his way ot decorating the graves of his forbears the Indian is most truly himself. for. as with other races, the superstitions and rites surrounding death seem to be the hardest to relinquish. Most Of the graves are heaped with pro pitiatory offerings, bits of brightly colored glass and crockery. bottles. electric ligkt bulbs, and dolls eyes. One grave even boasts an alarm clock. The Indian is a good Chris tian now but in some instances at least. he is taking no chances with the great spirit when it comes to smooth ing the way for the departed.

CONGRESS HAS BILL
FOR FEDERAL ROADS

Creation OF federal department
of highways to construct and main
tain a national system OF highways
with strength and capacity sufficien'
to support motor truck traffic is pro-
posed in a bill presented to Congress
by Representative Baker Accord
ing to the plan proposed these roads
the initial cost of which would be ap-
proximately 100000 would be de-
voted exclusively to rural motor ex-
press.
The bill proposes that the secre-
tary of the department be appointed
by the president. and that the or
ganization be advised by ten COM
missioners representing agriculture,
commerce. military engineering, nat
ural resources and other interests.
Advocates of motor transport are
watching the progress of the bill
closely. While many phases of the
plan would be most acceptable to all
persons interested in the improve
ment of transportation and gooo
roads, it is hoped that the bill will
enable the commission to function
without political interference, il the
proposal should become a law.

COLE LAYS CLAIM TO
PECULIAR DISTINCTION

The Cole Aero- Eight. often referred
TO by its sponsors as a car OF fioppo-
sites. has Almost logical claim % that
distinction according to enthusiastic
owners.
Not only does II set an entirely new
vogue in design, they point out, but IL
establishes new prccedents for perfor-
nance and at the same time creates
new standards in economy.
For. example. the Aero Eight motor
develops so horse power yet its fuel
demands are surprisingly low. The
car Weighs hut $500 pounds vet 1t
possesses stamina and strength suffi-
eient to meet every demand. The fact
that ii is capable OF $1,000 miles on
tires IS further evidence that it oc-
olipies an individual place in the larger
car class.
The ability of the cole Aero Eight
to combine such usual tire mileage
and remarkable economy with an
abundance of power and wider
range OF performance is attributed
primarily to its zero" balance.
All units. designed 10 work in per-
fect harmony with one another, are
distributed in such a manner as to OBJ
tain this perfect balance. The work
IL apportioned evenly no Single part
being subjected to n greater strain
than any other. Thus the wear ana
tear on the entire car is reduced to a
minimum.
Tho balance is carried out, not only
in the chassis. but in the body OF the
car, tho weight being equally distriput-
ed upon the special designed frame.
II ia this perfect balance that en-
ables the Aero Eight to ride the. ROAD
with the same even keel that an areo-
plane maintains in flight.
