BETTER WAGES FOR
WHITE COLLAR JOBS
Office Workers, However, not Yet in
the Class Of the Man in
Cvcrals.

New York, Dec 2S.-The white
collar worker is beginning to feel the
touch of prosperity on his shoulder.
Reports from all sections of the coun
try indicate plainly that wages for Of
flee workers and clerks are working
slowly upward.
This trend has not been so marked
as the advance in tire wages of the
wearers of oNeralls, but It Is plainly
perceptible. 1t has been shown pri-
marily in the number of new office
and clerical workers and salespeople
employed. This extra employment is
regular feature Of tho holiday sea
son IN the retail stores, but the ad.
ditions to payrolls have been more
sweeping than holiday trade would ac-
count for.
Few OF the new workers have been
put to work at the higher scaie, but
old workers have been raised and
promotion among the newer Corners
mas been rapid. This has been espe-
cially marked among The public util.
tiles companies. Officials OF the New
York Telephone company confirmed
this. declaring that the wages now
being paid were decidedly higher for
the workers who had been long with
the company.
The movement is attributed by en-.
ployment experts To the laws and sup
ply aud demand. as few of the white
collar workers are members of organ
lied labor organizations. 1t also is a
result OF the movement toward vol
ume production and sales. which is
expected to be so marked n charac

trade in 1923.

WARRIOR TECUMSEH BECAME
A. BRITISH GENERAL
BIZ Elmo Scott Qosson

IN THE year 1Z6s Meetheetashe, wife
Of Chief PukeSheeno Of the Shawnees,
gave birth TO triplets. One Of them,
Tecumtha or Tecumseh, The Shoot
ing Star" name strangely prophetic
Of his meteOric career, was destined TO
be called by many historians ''the
greatest American Indian"
Tecumseh distinguished himself in
battle early. Although he was a great
warrior, he was not a cruel one and,
due to his influence, the Shawnees
gradually gave up the practice Of tor
turing eaptiyes. He was proud chief
tain, too. At q council with Gen. Will
liam Henry Harrison, governor Of In
diana, in 1910, the interpreter handed
Tecumseh a chair with the remark,
Your father requests you to take this
chair" MY father? The sun is my
father and the earth is my mother and
l will rest upon her BOSOM" replied
Tecumseh haughtily as he took his
place among his warriors on the
ground.
Tecumseh had come to protest
under the Treaty of Fort Wayne. but
his objections gained him nothing
He travelled throughout the Middle
West gaining recruits for his confed-
Grafton. His scheme failed.
While he was absent, his brother
the loud-mouthed Prophet, rashly pre-
cipitated an attack upon Harrison and
the Battle Of TippecanOe In 1911 ended
Tecumseh's dream forever He imme
diately enlisted in the service of the
British, who, at the outbreak of the
War of 1872, made him a brigadiel
some of his Indians butchering helpless
captives, he hotly rebuked General
Proctor for allowing 1t.

dians could not be restrained"
'Begone." shouted Tecumseh. "Yor
are not fit to command. Go home ant
put on petticOats.'

cowardly Proctor continued retreatinE

How Water Is "Harnessed."

The great problem of the near fu-
turs in this country is power-its con-
servation and economical utilization.
In recognition of this fact, we are set
ting about the business of turning to
useful account the energy derivable
from falling water. Surveys made
by the government have divided up
the rivers into sections, and the
amount of power each section is ca
pable of delivering has been COM
puted. To develop this available en-
erGy, or the bulk Of it, for industrial
and other employment, is a gigantic
job. But we are going at it. Already
we have made a pretty fair start; for
there are now in the United States
3,116 waterpower plants of 100 or
more horsepower, with a total capac-
ity Of 1852 ,94S horsepower.

EXPLAINING GROWTH OF Fish
How IL is Feasible TO Make Accurate
Computation Has Been Ex-
piaIned by Expert.

Fishermen often wonder how fast
bass and crappie grow. The answer
Is that Ii all depends on the quality
and temperature of the water and
the abundance of natural food, ac-
cording to Fred J. Foster superintend-
ent Of the governments bureau OF
fisheries at Neosho, Mo.
A one-year-old crappie in Missouri
will be four inches long, a two-year-
old one seven inches, a three-year-old
one nine inches, Mr.. Foster says. Some
never get that length and others keep
growing until the: weigh 3h pounds
or more. Bass 9verage about five
inches at one year, eight inches at
two, q foot at three, and on up the
scale. One fish of the same age and
on the same nourishment may weigh
much more than another one-just as
with people, Mr.. Foster points out.
Bass and crappie spawn once a year
The time is during April, May and
June.

STORIES OF
GREAT INDIANS
CHIEF WEATHERFORD-A PAGE
OF BLOODY HISTORY
By Elmo Scott Dofson

T ATE in the summer of 1913 the
IL whole country was stunned by the
news of a terrible Indian massacre at
Fort Mimms, Ala. only a year before
had occurred the slaughter at Fort
Dearborn, but compared to the horror
at Fort MlEnlns, tie Illinois tragedy
seemed insignificant. OF a garrison of
275 men, women and children, only II
escaped alive.
The leader in this massacre was the
Greek chief Red Eagle Uamochattee)
commonly known as Weatherford, a
half-breed, who had inherited the
worst qualities of both races.
An army of 5000 men was put in
the field under Gen. Andrew Jackson
TO punish the Creeks He made them
pay dearly for Fort Mimms. At Tai
lushatches 200 Creek warriors died.
At Talladega they lost 500 more.
At the Holy Ground" a natural for
tress on the Alabama river, Weather
ford was the last to leave the field.
His capture seemed certain. Sudden
ly he turned his horse to a cliff where
there was a sharp drop of Is feet to
the river. The chief galIoped to the
brink and in one great leap horse and
rider dropped into the river Disap-
pearing beneath the water, then
emerging, they swan to safety.
After suffering several defeats, the
Creeks prepared to make their last
stand at Tohopeka or the Great
Horseshoe Bend of the Tallapoosa
river. Here on March q, 1914, Jack
son attacked them. The battle was
one of the bloodiest In Indian history.
Weatherford lost 800 warriors, the
flower of the Creek nation. His pow
er was broken. Soon afterward the
conditions imposed by Jackson was
that Weatherford should be shackled
and delivered to him. Rather than
suffer such degradation, the chief an
nounced that he would surrender vol
UNFAIRLY.
A few days later an Indian walked
into Jackson's tent ST am Weather
ford. who commanded at Fort Mimms,
he said. ST desire peace for my peo-
pie and have come TO ask ii. I am in
your power; do with me as you
please" "I wish TO take no advantage
of you" replied ''Old Hickory" 'You
may return 10 your tribe and continue
the war. But if you are taken you
shall receive no quarter"
You can safely address me In such
terms now" was Weatherfords digni-
fed reply. II could once animate my
warriors TO battle, but l can not ami
mate the dead. I ask for peace only
for my nation. You will find me the
strictest enforcer of obedience TO your
terms" Weatherf0rd kept his word
and until his death March 9. 1924. he
held his nation at peace.

Various attempts have been made to
cause the wind to aid the bicycle rider
In driving his machine. In the case Of

plan Of toy windmill is attached to
the machine and geared to the front
wheel.
Another contrivance also acts on
the principle Of the windmill, but its
motor, instead Of having fans facing
at one way, is shaped like an empty
pumpkin shell, with the segments
slightly separated and inclined inward.
