HASKELL INDIANS
DISPLAY AMAZING
ENDURANCE POWER
Long Distance Running Is Fa-
vOrite Pastime of Institute
Athletes.

LAWRENCE, Kas., Feb. 2s.-In
keeping with tribal customs on their
native reservations, Ions distance
running is the favorite pastime Of
the Indian boys competing for the
track team at Haskell Indian insti-
tute here. OF the 63 candidates who
answered the first call for track
men. 81 felt the mile and two-mile
runs were the events to which they
were best adapted.
The large number trying out for
the distances is due to the fact that
during the past year there has been
an influx of Navajo students from
New Mexico and Arizona" explained
L, w. Mcdonald, track coach. "On
their native reservations these stu
derts had often left their schools on
Friday evening. going to their
homes a distance frequently Of 40
miles. They ran practically all the
way. On Sunday evening they would
return to their schools. arriving
there in time for their classes on
nc nday morning"
OF the 65 candidates, only six are
letter men; Kipp, high point man I'm
hurdles. Jumps and weights last
year; Usage, quarter and half-mile,
Morrison. high and broad jumps;
Miller, mile and two mile; Archu-
letta. pole vault. and Childers,
jumps and weights. They have been
working out for the past three
weeks.
Many of the boys will continue
training until July &. Coach Melon
aid said, in order to be in top con-
dition for tribal picnics in Okla
homa on that date. The Cheyenne
ArapahOe relay race At Cantonment
Okla, Is one Of the most important.
The Indians OF these two tribes
watch with interest the development
of their youths on the track and field
while IN school" the coach said
They do this. not from the stand
point OF relshing Haskell victories
but because they look forward 10

orally is just before the big tribal
track meet. Last year, Of the four

Illustrating the endurance OF the
Navajo boys, Coach Mcdonald re-
lated the following incident:
Rex Andres. a Navajo student,
from New Mexico, reported for prac-
tie recently. He told me he was a
long distance runner. I gave him a
SUIT, took him out on the track and
told him 20 take a few laps until he
could get up A good sweat and then

Famous Coach. Never Sick in
His Life, Tells How TO
Enjoy Good Health.
BY JIM TEN EYCK.

Most Americans dig their grave
with their teeth
Inactivity and overeating are the
two great menaces TO good health
Most humans are lazy. They won't
take bit Of exercise or do a darned
thing, just loaf.
The moment they feel a bit out
Of sorts they summon a doctor, take
a lot of medicine and follow some
health rules that he lays down for
them.
Just as soon as they begin to fee
better they discard the advice Of the
doctor and go along taking things
easy, doing as little as possible and
eating as much as they can jam in
to their stomachs.
With all due respect 10 the medic
al men. 1T these same folks would
add 10 minutes of exercise to their
daily routine they wouldn't need any
doctors and would feel heap sight
better.
Here Is a program have followed
for years with excellent results.
Get up early and spend a halt
hour outdoors. in which I do some
brisk walking with an occasional
jog thrown in to stimulate circula-
ton. Then a bath and rundown
followed by a slight breakfast. II
don't feel hungry I pass up the
breakfast. At the other meals
make it a point not TO overeat
ANY exercise IS beneficial. One
should select something that jibes
we'll with his age. Golf Is always
good. I am strongest for rowing.
Rowing gets one outdoors, which
is essential TO health. and besides
the physical development there is the
enjoyment OF nature in her three
vital elements, air. light and water
Rowing can be made an all year
round sport, a boat in the summer
a rowing machine in the winter
As a matter of fact the best row
ing machine in the world IS a cord
OF wood in four foot lengths and a
sharp bucksaw.
In saving wood one gets all the
exercise OF rowing and then some.
Saving wood Is the greatest Of al.
outdoor exercises.
We see real condition in the nor
NAL boy from 10 Is. If you don't
believe that statement try TO follow
him I'm all his stunts. The big thing
is to get close TO nature.

TO AID SHIP OPERATORS
Merchant Marine Committee Also
Recommends Special Postal
Subvention.

The American merchant marine
joint committee has recommended a
definite per ton subsidy and special
postal subvention fer fast passenger
ships to the Shipping Board as methods
of giving direct government aid to
American ship owners.
Immediate sale of all Shipping
Board vessels by the board, establish
ment of a $10O.O00.OO0 loan fund, re-
lief from income tax. carrying of so
per cent of immigrants by American
ships, revision of the navigation laws
to remove present disabilities, en-
forcement Of section 20 of-the mer-
chant marine act, giving preferential
rates for shipment of goods in Amer
lean bottoms. and legislation providing
additional compensation for the mer-
chant marine branch of the naval re-
serve were recommended.
The joint report questions the prac-
ticabilfty of a government insurance
bureau for handling shipping insur-
ance and also questioned the advis-
ability of attempting to license
foreign lines.
A separate report on the attitude OF
the council Of American shipbuilders,
also fled with the board, stated that
any ship subsidy should be confined
to American vessels Of approved class,
and that it should not be of such q
character as to encourage retention

It's up to you to choose between per

one hand, and self-gratification and
self abandonment on the other. These
two extremes in constructive and de-
structive tendencies are nowhere bet
ter illustrated and exemplified than
in what is known as right or wrong
living and thinking. One leads on
ward and upward to unending heights
here and hereafter. while the other
puts the skids under the best of us
