REAL FRIENDS OF The INDIANS
By Chief Strong Wolf

Alonzo Eugene Austin, M. D. is a
real friend of the Indian-and one
who was brought up among them,
knowing the Indian as a real brother.
Doctor Austin's father was a physician
and missionary among the Indians
and so well did the Indians love him
that he was one of the few white
men on the continent whose word
was their law.
Following his fathers vocation he
has finally become one of the noted
physicians in the East. He has been
adopted as a blood-brother-is loved
and trusted by every Indian with
whom he has come in contact.

England Has Very
Mild Winter Season

London, March 20.-While the
United States is going through a
winter of snow and gales with
numerous deaths from penumon-
ia and influenza. England is
experiencing one of the mildest
and most healthful on record. 1t
is said that the present winter
will go down in history as the
least deadly since vital statistics
have been kept.
The February death rate was
scarcely more than 10 per 1000,
while the total deaths from all
causes in one week in January
was Is per 1000 compared with
nearly - per 1000 for the cor
responding week last year. Influ-
enza has been conspicuous by it's
absence and pulmonary diseases
have been negligible. The only
bad feature has been the i'm
mense damage caused in the
country by heavy rains, but ex-
perts enthusiastically point out
that these will eventual; result
in more good than harm.

Monorail Planned
To Olympic Games
Paris Struggles With
Problem Of Handling
Expected Crowd

Paris, March 20.-The prob
lem how to get 100000 specta-
tors to Colombes to attend the
Olympic games is worrying city
officials, but a proposed solution
is the construction of suspend
en- monorailway, which would
make the trip in four minutes.
Present traffic congestion IN Paris
makes it almost Impossible 20
handle large crowds, and 1t is
evident that, unless something is
done Immediately, there is. a
grave probability that the games
will prove a financial loss.
Francis Laur, who since 1910
has been working on the sus-
pended railway idea, claims to
have devised a system whereby
car operated by airplane mo-
tors and propellers and depend
ing from an elevated rail can
attain speed OF SeVenty-llNe
miles an hour without danger.
The famous Elberfeld monorail
attains only half this speed, with
10000 passengers daily, whereas
Laur asserts that 10000 can he
carried easily over the Paris
| Colonies stretcn of five miles
Each car. hanging like that of
dirigible balloon, would con-
tain sixty persons. According to
Laur's latest plans, now under
consideration, steel struts sup
porting the rail would be erected
every $50 yards, as sufficient to
bear trains at any speed up to
200 kilometers an hour. AS no
tunnels or ballast would be re-
'quired the cost works out at less
than half that required for the
construction of an ordinary rail-
way.

Two COnvicts Make
Good Their Flight
(By United prcss)

Chicago, March 2O.-Two con-
victs who choked a guard into
submission and fled while being
transferred from Joliet peniten-
tiary to the Statewide Prison had
apparently made good their es-
cape today.
The prisoners were Thomas
Pruett, Chicago, serving Is years
for murder and John Hale, Chi
cago, serving ten years to life for
robbery.
They were being taken to State
willie in an automobile in custody
of +. n. Wilkey, a guard and
Frank Cressi, a "trusty" late
last night.
Outside of Lislie the men
wound the chain of the handouts
which bound them together
around the neck of Wilkie who
sat between them. Then they
forced Cressi to leave the car. A
few miles further on the prison
ers threw Wilkie from the ma
chine.
Several posses patrolled the
roads leading into Chicago but nc
trace of the men was found.
