A wELL-LovED INDIAN CHIEF

 From Adventure Magazine
 Washable. chief of the eastern band of Shoshoni Indians, was always friendly with the whites and mag nificent fighter against his red ene- mics. More than 5000 emigrants over the Oregon trail signed a paper ex- tolling his kindness in helping to recover lost stock in aiding them over dangerous crossings, in leading back men who had strayed and be- come lost. This was in the Shoshoni country of Wyoming and during the great migration of the fifties.
 In personal appearance he is de- scribed as being tall and powerful of build, of dignified bearing. When a young man he was autocratic as a chief and refused hospitality to any horse thief or vagabond. He retained lis great popularity in his tribe by his victories over the Blackfeet and Crows. He was employed at times by the American Fur company, also the Hudsons Bay Fur company. and more than once saved hunters and trappers from death.
 At the age of 70 the average white hioh bCS iis to thiiih oi iVtAiiiitS. A'SN so with Washable. Some of the rew- est generation decided he should be deposed.
 Washable vanished and was miss ing for two months. The council met to elect his successor. The old chief entered the lodge with dramatic ab- ruptness and threw on the ground six enemy scalps he had taken while away. He continued as chief.

 But a real vacation should take us away from all thought of our work We should lose ourselves in new employments, letting the tired brain cells which have been serving us so steadily have complete rest. Facilities for taking a vacation are more numerous now than ever be- fore. The automobile has brought the country within easy reach of the city dweller. and touring with a tent, few army cots, and camp cooking outfit has become one of the, great pastimes of America. All of us have the gypsy instinct. fn- herited if not from the nomadic traits of our remote ancestors, then from the pioneers who pierced the wilderness of an unknown conti- rent in the historic prairie schoon- CT. So why not pack away your troubles and in that Ford car leave the dust of civilization behind you and be, a real gypsy for two weeks2 Discovering America this way Is rare joy.

SATURDAY NIGHTso

By Earl G. Curtis. The Reilly and

 This Is vlrile. throbbing American story of life in factory town-a novel that deals with the elemental motions-emotions that sway the masses that toll.
 Saturday Nights" is grimly dra- matic. and tensely interesting. Photo graphic in It's representation of an existence that has It's counterpart In many towns and cities throughout the land 1t tells the story of the youth and early manhood of vickery Joyce, typical tobacco-town workec.
 This Is not merely story of strug- gle and adventure. As he reads. the reader senses-with the sweep of tho narrative--the surge of the primor- dial life of the thousands to whom stark existence Is the one big daily problem.
 Portrayal of bitter street car strike presents the opportunity for a powerful picture of an ever-recurring national problem. There are chapters that will stir the Anti-Saloon league crusaders; other chapters that will knot the brows of the sociologic.
 The book Is not all grimness. A very human romance lightens the au- thor's striking canvas.
