Indian Legend Of the Origin Of the
Calumet, Better Known as
"Pipe Of Peace"

When the North American Indians
made peace or formed an alliance, the
high contracting parties smoked to-
gether TO ratify the arrangement.
The peace pipe was about two and
a half feet long. the bowl was made
of highly polished red marble, and a
stem Of q reed, which was decorated
with eagles Guills, women's hair, etc.
Legend has 1t that the Great Spirit
at an ancient period called the Indian
nations together, and standing on the
precipice of the red ppestone rock.
broke off piece which he moulded in
to the bowl of pipe. and fitting 1t on
a long reed. filled the pipe with the
bark of red willow, and smoked over
them, turning to the four winds. He
told them the red color OF the pipe
represented their flesh, and when they
smoked 1t they must bury their war
clubs and scalping knives. At the last
whiff the Great Spirit disappeared.

EUROPE WILL PAY DEBT,
SENATOR OWEN DECLARES

France, and other European debtors
of the United States will live up to
their obligations and, therefore,
America need not have any fear that
money loaned by this country during
the war, will not be returned. Sem
ator Robert L. Owen of Oklahoma,
who has just returned to Washing
ton from an extensive tour of Eu-
rope, stated before the National Pop
ular Government League Forum at it's
luncheon in the Ebbitt Hotel Thurs
day.
The senator mentioned France spe-
officially, in order to discredit dis
patches that reached this country re-
Gently and quoting French states
man to the effect that France would
never pay her debt to the United
States. AS soon as he heard of this
statement, Senator Owen said, he saw
President Millerand, who said he did
not agree with those remarks. Presi-
dent Millerand assured him, said Sem
ator Owen, that the French people
would stand by their obligations to
the United States.
Although millions Of it's people are
desperately poor, Europe Is enor-
mously wealthy. continued the speak
er. 1T is the unequal distribution of
wealth that misleads people into
thinking that Europe as a whole is
very poor" His observations are con-
vincing, he said, that the continent

The decline in value of the money
of the various countries, due to ex-
cessive printing of paper currency,
does not mean that the wealth of
these nations has been destroyed, the
senator said. ."On the contrary, their
orchards, vineyards, fertile fields
mines and transportation systems re-
main. Their ability to produce is
greater than it was before the war
because the manpower has been sup
plemented by woman power, and the
factories have been expanded by the
extraordinary energy of four years
of war;
