Geneva, Oct, 6. - Jazz bands,
poker dice, Martini cocktails. and
Scotch highballs, dominoes and au-
tomobile rides keep the princes,
prime ministers, foreign ministers,
and plain citizens who are dele
gates to the second assembly of
the league of nations from getting
rusty when the days work is
over.
His highness Prince Arfa-ed Do
! wleh, former minister o. Justice
and Persia's delegate. is the lea
gue's greatest jazz band fiend. his
fayorite resorts are the Kursaal,
where everything from gin fizzes
to champagne flow with utnlcst
freedom until 1 a. nj. nightly, and
Maxims, a parody of the famous
Paris restaurant of the same
name.
Now, Maxim's is noteworthy for
the number of demimondes who
infest it nightly. Truly representa-
tive are they of the league Uf ma
tions, for they come from all quar-
ters of the globe. And they are
stony-hearted ladies, quite ready
to demand twenty Swiss francs
from any stranger who dances
with them, or even converses with
them across the table.
Maybe the Prince knew about
this and maybe he didn't. But the
other night, just after he had de-
livered a lengthy speech in the
assembly, roasting the league for
doing nothing on disarmament, he
wandered into Maxim's, took
seat and ordered bottle of cham
payne at a price that shook Per-
sia's treasury.
Persians Up To Date.
A Spanish girl, with flashing
eyes, engaged His Highness in
conversation. Next she borrowed
a cigarette and glass of wine.
Things were going along gayly in
rapid-fire Spanish until the Prince
discovered it was late and he had
to be going. He called for his der
by and started for the door.
Seniorita was after him in a
minute.
Here, you, give me some mon
ey-you've wasted my whole even
ing!" she snapped.
But they evidently don't raise
them green out in Persia. For His
Highness responded with a gra-
cious smile, a gracious bow and
a gracious raising of the hat as he
passed out of the door, but with
out bestowing a blessed SOU Inc

rough things about the Prince.
Last year Panama's delegate
and one of the delegates from
Uruguay were frequent dancers at
the Kursaal. This year a number
of delegates sip wine around the
dance floor, but the toddling ano
shimmying are excused largely by
young secretaries with stenogra-
piers and girl secretaries from
headquarters of the league.

Protest of Colonies.
By Earle G. Reeves


ropdon. Oct. 6.--The curiosity
tbich the American flying world
aveals regarding Britain's real
easons for her proposal to aban-
lon her lighter-than-air flying
program is sharpened into real
concern in the Dominions, partic-
hlarly in Australia.
Premier Hughes, on the eve of
Mis- departure for home after at
lending the Empire Conference, Is
sued statement in which he
clearly intimated the displeasure
II his commonwealth with the
nlan to scrap England's entire air.
ship plant. !.
Il America wonders why England,
(which, since Germany has been
sborn of her zeppelins, leads the
.world in airships, is intent on dis
nosing of all airships now owned
and of the three great bases.
To Develop Air Routes
The Dominion premiers, during
their session in London, went on
record against scrapping the air
fleet. They proposed, further, to
xrefer to their respective constitu-
encies a plan for Dominion and in
manufacturing airships and devel-
Il oping airship routes which shall
draw the far frontiers of the en-
pire into closer contact with Lon
Z don.
This Dominion action, and the
4 subsequent courteously expressed
displeasure of Premier Hughes at
the air ministry proposal to con-
tinue its process of dismantling
the airship organization, may an
swer the question which has been
asked by American flying men
now in Europe.
Program of Tactics
The government of Lloyd George
Is constant program of tactics, SO
manipulated as to swing public
opinion. Public opinion most en-
phatically demanded economy Oh
the most rigid kind. Public opin-
ion was encouraged in this py
Lord Northcliffe and many other
leaders.
George, perhaps, wanted the air
arm to continue effective, But a
cut there would be most spectac-
ular form of economy. Airships
cost impressive round figures, ana
upkeep is heavy.
An announcement that all Brl-
tain's airships and airship bases
would be handed over to private
companies was a startling story.
It showed how far the government
would go in fulfilling its pledges.
Statistics of money saved mean
little to the public mind; discard
ing fleet of super-Zeppelins made
an impression.
Furthermore, perhaps George
figured that it would have re-
bound.
1t did have a rebound. The Do
minion premiers wanted empire
air lines, possible only through
lighter-than-ai craft. They want
ed them badly enough to pay for
them, or pay toward them.
But the air ministry has It's or
ders to dispose of the airships. 1t
must continue on its path to econ
omy. The premier's declaration Is
as yet merely one of principle ana
cannot take the guaranteed cash
form until they have reached their
capitals and succeeded in getting
a vote of. credit from their legisla-
furee

Faith in the Fallen.
Mr.. Daugherty took the position
that it is not a good thing for
the country to release from pris-
on those types of offenders who
have become hardened in their
criminal tendencies and are likely
to continue in evil ways after the
laws hands have been removed
from them.
II can walk into any prison in
the country and pick out ten men
l would be willing to trust" said
the Attorney General. THAT ap-
plies to any prison, anywhere. Put
those elen on their honor, let
them know that there is someone
who has an interest in them and
they will make good"
Mr.. Daugherty's psychology has
been tested and found 100 per
cent. He cited his experiences with
prisoners in reform institutions in
Ohio and elsewhere. He has aided
in the establishment and operation
of some of these reform schools.
He has watched the development
of the inmates into useful citizens.
He has found them in later years,
law abiding, honest with their
fellow men and in some instances
filling conspicuous roles, as lead
ers in civic undertakings for COM
munity betterment.
Mr.. Daugherty achieved in the
handling of the young offenders
in Ohio reform schools can be ex-
tended upon a much broader scale
to federal prisons, he believes. 1t is
possible to make such federal
vocational school practically self
sustaining by installing factory

form that will remold bad charac-
ters into good ones, today stood
out as one of the big things that
the administration must do to I'M
prove citizenship, Attorney Gener-
al Daugherty declared, discussing
a new system he has evolved for
handling federal prisoners.
Attorney General Daugherty's
plan, now about ready for Presi-
dent Harding's approval soon
will be ready for congress, and it
calls for the establishment of a
new federal voca,ional training
plant, where prisoners can be
taught trades and otherwise re-
built SO that they may become
useful citizens after their terms
expire.
There are about 500 young first
termers in federal prisons, who
would, be eligible for transfer
from prisons where now confined
to the institutions which the At
torney General proposes to estab-
lish.
The Attorney General will ask
congress to authorize him to take
over one of the big cantonments
left on the governments hands al

it into an educational institution

FRANK NORTH, "WHITE CHIEF
OF THE PAWNEES"
q. Western Newspaper Union.

Only once In history did Indians
succeed in wrecking one OF the white
mans iron horses" and this occurred
i'm 1867 when a band of Cheyenhes
ditched a freight train on the Union
Pacific near Plum Creek, Neb. "A
strange scene followed. Among the
loot which the savages took from
the wrecked cars were hundreds Oh
bolts of calico. In a sportive mood,
the young warriors tied the ends OF
the calico to their PONIES tails. Then
they went careening over the prairie,
the long waves of many-colored clotn
billowing and floating behind them.
While the Cheyennes were still en-
jOying this sport. from the surround
ing hills dashed band OF mounted
Indians led by q white man OF SOL
,iierly bearing. When the CheyenneS
saw him charging down upon them.
they fled In every direction. crying
The White Chief Of the Pawnee!
The White Chief Of the Pawnee!
Mai Frank North was the White
Chief of the Pawnees." He had lived
among them and they loved him. They
adopted him into the tribe, calling him
Pawnee La Share. This meant great
chief Of the Pawnees" and chief even
OF the Pawnee chiefs. No other
Pawnee and only one white man, Gen.
John G. Fremont, ever held that title.
Major North enlisted his first Pawnee
scouts in 1864, and In every war on
the plains thereafter they did valiant
service.
The scouts were issued regulation
blue uniforms, but they had their own
ideas about how to wear them. A full
dress parade was an amusing sight
Some wore only the trousers and were
bareLeaded; others wore the big black
hat, but had a breech cloth In place
IF trousers; and others cut out the
seat of the pantaloons. leaving only
leggings. All wore spurs, whether
they had on boots, mOccasins or were
barefoot. But they were good fight
ers for all of that.
They were with General Carr at the
Battle of Summit Springs, Colo, In
1869 and here Major North killed the
Sioux chief Tall Bull, although Buffalo
Bill is sometimes credited with that
feat.
During his scout career Major North
became a close friend Of Buffalo Bill,
and when he disbanded his scouts,
Cody and North went into the cattle
business In Nebraska together. and
were partners for many years.

THE PLYMOUTH ROCK

WHEN the Pilgrim Fathers landed

a boulder which has become famous
as the Plymouth Rock.
This rock Is said to weigh seven
tons, possess a greenish hue, to be
very hard and its surface capable of
taking a high polish. Oval In shape
and having a fiat top, 1t offered q
made-tO-Order landing place for the
fOrefathers. Scientists declare that It

from some strange and distant land.
Like most movable things Of pecul-
lar historic value, q loving public has
been wont to disturb this valued relic
and change Its location. In 1774,
while plans were under way to move
the rock to the town square, 1t was
discovered that the action Of the ele-
ments had separated the upper and
lower portions. Nevertheless, the top
portion was moved. In 1890 years
later-it was again moved, this time
to location In front Of Pilgrim Hall
and inclOsed with an iron fence. Here
1t remained for fOrty-six years. Then
1t was decided that the rock should

Accordingly, after a separation of
more than one hundred years. the up.

placed over the lower portion, where
1t now repOses under an ornate can

~ sacre as one
of the most dramatic incidents
in Indian warfare. 1t occurred
in 1876, the Centennial year,
when special emphasis was be-
ing laid on the cause Of peace
throughout the world. The
Sioux Indians had been driven
into Montana by the gold miners,
and the United States govern
ment took steps to force them
back into their reservations. Gen
eral Custer, with less than 300
men, set out to round up the
tribes which were Oh the war
path, and ut the Little BighOrn
river, was ambushed by Sitting
Bull and 5000 warriors. Custer
and all his troopers were killed.
Soon after this massacre the In
dians were defeated and many
of them fed to Canada.
Gold was discovered in Mon
tana as early as 1852 by the half
breed Francois Finlay near He'll
Gate river. This, however, Gre
ated little stir and it wasn't un-

quantities, that mining settle

of Nebraska territory, which in
1863 was subdivlded and became
a portion of Idaho territory. The
next year 1t was organized as
the separate Territory Of Mon
tana.
Virginia City was the capital
and here in 1865 was issued the
Montana Post, the first newspa-

capital was changed to Helena
and ten years later a state con-

was not taken into the Union,
however, until 1889.
