POWER IN THIS FLASHLlGHT
Continued Experiments Have Resulted
In Development Of Really Re-
markable Article.

From the pocket flashlight operated
by two or three dry cells of minute
size the battery searchllght has been
steadily improved until remarkable
results are obtained
Some time ago there was devised
a searchlight Of 500 foot range op-
Grating on six or eight volts. More
recently a battery searchlight has
been introduced with range of 1000
feet up to half mile, operating on
six volts. Equipped with a seven and
one-half inch adjustable focus, single
shell reflector. on a recent photometer
test one of these searchlights gave
453 candlepower.
The combination of nitrogen-flled
tungsten lamp and correctly de-
hlgned reflector has worked wonders
for the battery-operated searchlight.

| While we Indians and friends of
the Indians are fighting for citi-
zenship and such problems of the
present, it is sometimes pleasant
Ito stop and reflect on other phases
Of Indian life, such as the way in
which the various tribes lived long
ago-way back before the white
man established his way of living
in this country of ours. !. -.
If: some magician could take US
back three hundred years and
place US in the heart Of a forest
where the City of New York now
stands, we would be very likely to
see a village Of some twenty or
thirty huts, skillfully made of
straw, such as some Apache In

clad, would probably be- cooking

they would venture far out into

away in great numbers at: councils
between different tribes to signify
an agreement Or promise. z
Great fields of corn and tobacco
sometimes surrounded the village.
The Eastern Indians we're great
smokers. The Iroquois tribe, for
instance, probably got their name
from ''Ireokwa'', a word meaning
smoker" in their language. they
used small stone pipes with images
Of animals or birds on them-un-
like the long stemmed pipes Of the
Western tribes. Their dress, too,
was different from that Of the
plains Indians. They didsnot wear
eagle feather war bonnets, nor did
they use porcupine quilts for
decorating. When in full dress
they wore majestic robes, hair
decorations, and wampum belts.
Later, with the advent Of the
white man, swords adorned their
sices and silver arm bands added
to their already handsome appear
ance. Sometimes they tattooed
themselves by injecting charcoal
into their skins.
The Indians of which l speak:
the Shinnecocks, Rockaways, Can,
arsies, Montauks, Poospatucks,
etc, are nearly all gone. There
are about fifty mixed blood Shin.
necocks living near Southampton,

their characteristics. Then there
are about five families of Montanks
still living. The last full.blooded
Pequot, Mrs. Potter, died last
month.
About thirty years ago nearly
half of the remaining Shinnecock1
men lost their lives in a heroic
attempt at rescuing some fisher
men lost in storm at sea. This
showed that the bravery and gen.

interesting sidelights on the life OF
this woman who dedicated herself
to- the preaching, teaching and
healing of the Indians in Dakota

Miss Collins was distinctive

October, 765, she left for Dakota
territory as a missionary to the
Sioux indians in the vicinity of

Missouri river from Pierre. A
short time later she moved north
to Little Eagle station on the
Grand river. Here she spent the
greater part Of the next thirty five
years. !. .<sl ..< : s :.
She was universally beloved by
the Indians, who adopted her into

Mingled with her teachines..
preachings, and healing, for Miss
Collins was also possessor of a
