Car SOmersaults
Five Men Unhurt

One of those occurrences which are
frequently spoken OF as lucky acct
dents took place at about $40 Mon
day morning on the Oakland road
near the foot of the Silver street
bridge. A Ford touring car owned
and driven by Michael Blair of Oak
land with the registration number
21,7SS, and containing four men
friends of Mr.. Blair was passing
rapidly down the hill at that point
toward Waterville. In some manner
not completely explained Mr.. Blair
lost control of the steering wheel and
the Ford was said to have turned
over three times before it came to a
stop against a telegraph pole. All
the occupants of the machine were
thrown out, one member of the party
being thrust by the force of the i'm
pact head and shoulders into a cul-
vert from which his friends had to
rescue him. The only injury of any
account was a slight cut which Mr..
Blair sustained on his left leg. and
DR.. G. C. Rancourt who was hastily
summoned by telephone by witnesses
of the accident who believed that the
members of the party had sustained
serious injuries. had nothing to re-
auire his professional attention.
The machine, however, suffered Sc
verely. The frame was twisted out
of shape, three tires were torn off.
the windshield was reduced to bits
of glass. and the entire top was a
twisted framework, but the members
Of the party believed that a miracle
saved them from serious injuries

also employed it in their ceremo-
MES and as a badge of authority.
Among other traditions explain
ing how wampum first came to be
used. the Iroquois have one to the
effect that once Hiawatha, on a
journey, came to a little lake, and
was wondering how to cross it
when flock of ducks appeared and
settled on the water When they
flew away, the water had disap-
peared, and Hiawatha, looking on
the dry bed of the lake, saw that
it was covered with shells. Of
these he made the first wampum.
Despite this legend and similar
ones, however, it is believed that
the earliest wampum was made of
small pieces of wood of equal size,
stained black or white. Porcupine
quilts are also said to have been
used. Later, wampum was made
from shells, sometimes Of the
fresh-water varieties, but generally
of sea-shells. The best wampum
was made from the hearts of the
common hard clam of Long Island.
While shell beads were early
manufactured by the Indians along
the Atlantic shore, they were rare
West of the Hudson River before
the seventeenth century. With the
arrival of the colonists, the Indians
were supplied with tools which
made it possible for them to work
a greater variety of shells and to
produce more finished work.
Paying Fare With Wampum
For ages wampum was used by
the Indians almost solely as
money. The making of wampum

as money among the colonists OF
New York was continued until 1900
at least, as at that time. according
to an old record, "the ferriage for

to Brooklyn was eight stivers in
wampum, or a silver two pence"
Wampurn AS Ornaments
Messengers from one tribe OF
Indians to another used strings
and belts of wampum as creden-

wampum came to have great SYM
bollcal importance dependent on
the colors and arrangement of the
beads. They were also used as
memory aids to the keepers of the
oral traditions of the Indians.
