HOW KIT CARSON FOUGHT 4
 DUEL AND WON A WIFE

The Green River country in Wyom- ing was famous rendezvous for trap pers in the old days, and in 1885 many of them were gathered there One was Captain Shunar, French bully, who had aroused the anger of several of the American trappers by his offensive manner toward young Arapaho girl In . camp nearby. The girl feared the Frenchman and appealed for pro tection to young trapper named Kit Carson.
 Learning of this Shunar, in an effort to bring about a quarrel with Carson, rode about the camp one day carrying . loaded rife and declaring that all Americans were towards, deserving only whipping with hickory switch. At last Carson faced the Frenchman.
 "I am an American, and if you are determined to die, l am your man." he said. The Frenchman hesitated at this defiance.
 Leaping to his horse, his pistol in hand, Carson demanded of Shunar ~>@@ ~AAN iAoI tpd uAN IpthiIE IbT
 "No,' replied Shunar, but he raised hts arm to shoot.
 The two men fired at the same time. The Frenchman's bullet grazed Car. sons scalp and the powder burned his face. The Americans shot shattered Shunar'S forearm and he died from the effects of the wound soon after wards.
 Carson came 10 love the Indian girl he had befriended, and later they were married by the Indian ceremony. In 1888 she became his wife in 8 Christian marriage.
 Kit Carson was one of the most TO- mantle figures in frontier history. Born in Kentucky in 1909, he ran away from home and joined a cara van on the Santa Fe trail. From Is29 to 1s43 he was trapper and trader in the Rockies. Then he guided Gen. eral Fremont to the Great Salt Lake and California and was a scout for "Tbe Pathfinder in the Mexican war
 Carson was an Indian fighter. too He defeated the NavajoeS so disas trously that they never again seri ously threatened the white man. He whipped the Kiowas and Comanche. at the first great battle fought a the Adobe Walls. Then in his latel years he became an Indian agent, ant the red men who had once fought hin learned to love him and to call hin Father Kit"
 Finally the old scout settled dow1 tn his home in Taos, \. M h 1S6, he went to Fort Lyon, Colo, to yisl his son. There he fell ill and diet May 23.

is GREAT NEED FOR TEACHERS
"OnIy Through Ever Expending Faeil-
tiles Can We Turn Out Product
of Disciplined Minds"

Williamsburg, Va. - Declaring the
nation confronts an educational cri-
sis" through lack of teachers and pub
lie school facilities President Hard.
ing appealed in an address here for
patriotic support Of an educational
system commensurate with national
resources.
Mr.. Harding spoke before a gather.
ing of students and alumni of the
College of William and Mary.
"It is no exaggeration," said Presi-
dent Harding, Ito say the nation con.
fronts an educational crisis. From
every corner of the land, from country,
town and city, comes the same report
that the housing capacity for our pub
lie schools is inadequate; that tens
of thousands Of pupils have no place
for their studies; that teachers can
not be listed in sufficient numbers,
and that school revenues are insurl-
cient. It may be said that, in this
realm Of education, we have been
drawing on our capital, instead OF
spending the annual increment only;
we have been taking the teachers
away from the schools, and leaving
constantly increasing deficit in our
capacity to tnrn out that product OF
disciplined minds which only can be
insured through ever expanding facil-
tiles.

MEETING WIDELY ADVERTISED
Similar Gatherings Are Advertised to
Be Held at Lille, Bordeaux, Lyons,
ST. Nazaire and Other Places.

Paris. - Seven policemen were in
jured by the explosion of bomb
thrown into a crowd in Wagram ave-
nue. during a meeting held by the
French communist party in protest
against the conviction for murder in
Massachusetts of the Italians Sacco
and Vanzetti. Several of the mani
festants were hurt and six persons
were arrested charged with disorderly
conduct.
The meeting had been widely adver-
tised as a protest against the Ameri-
can government, capitalists and the
execution" of Sacco and Vanzetti. The
speakers were bitter in their vituper-
alton of the American government
and expressed execration of American
capitalists.
1t was openly announced that the
Nantes communists will hold mani
festation before the American consul
late there.
Similar displays were announced
for Lille, Bordeaux, Marseilles, st. Ma
zaire, Lyons and at other places, wher'
ever~the American government is rep
resented
The demonstration which, accord
ing to police information, was to be
held in front of the American am
bassy here, did not develop.

RAILROAD STRIKES
MAY Be PENAL|zED
PROPOSITION is CONSIDERED
FOR DRASTIC AMENDMENT
TO ESCH-CUMMIN LAW.
PRESENT LAW IS INADEQUATE
Public Opinion Is Depended Upon by
President to Provide the Penalty
Without Resort to the Courts.

Washington. - Having in mind all
Eventualities, the administration is
canyassing the alternatives in the
event that a strike should be persist
ed in after the Railway Labor Board
has done all that it can to adjust the
controversy. For the fact is the Esch-
Cummins law, which created the La
Dor Board, did not provide penalties
for violations Of its decisions. Presi-
dent Harding hopes that public opin-
ion will provide the penalty-that re-
course to the courts will be unneces-
sary. Needless to say that would be
solution more in harmony with the
wishes of the President than any 9TH
er. That's why he dismisses as pre-
mature all proposals which take into
consideration a possible violation by
the unions of the mandate Of the rail-
way board
Nevertheless, there is we'll defined
feeling in administration quarters
which recognizes that some kind OF
a policy must be pursued if, indeed,
public opinion does not compel re-
spect for the decisions Of the Railway
Labor Board. The policy unquestion'
ably will be an amendment to the
Esch- Cummins law imposing fines and
Imprisonment on all persons convict
ed Of melting strikes or lockouts in
defiance of the decisions of the Unit
ed States Railroad Labor Board. Such
a drastic step is inevitable if strike
should be called.
