BIG CLAIM BY SIOUX INDIANS

Washington, ID. c., May 6.-The
American Indian has abandoned the
war AK and scalping knife for the

Sioux nation will sue the United
States for payment for lands and
property taken from the Sioux by the
whites and the amount OF the claim,
with interest, is not less than $780,

RAPID CITY INDIANS ARE
DRINKING CANNED HEAT

Sheriff Frank Lockhart suddenly
discovered today that practically all
f the Indians camped about town
were getting liquor from some un-
known source, and were all more or
less intoxicated. He Immediately be-
gan to investigate and to try and dis
'over where the Indians were getting
their I" fire water" About noon an
Indian woman from the Pine Ridge,
Mrs. John JaneSse by name, called at
Mr.. Lockhart S office and told him
her husband was buying canned heat,
ard after heating it, he would sepa-
rate the paraffine from the alcohol
and then drink the alcohol. She
'laimed that he had been drunk two
'!r-Geks and that she was afraid the
'ope was killing him.
This set the sheriff to thinking and
he began inquiring of dug, hardware
nd grocery stores and other places
is to their sales on canned heat, and
nund tha, the sales had greatly in
reascd and were almost entirely
mong the Indians. This led to fur
her investigation and it was found
that not taking the trouble to melt the
,araffin and drain off the alcohol,
ONE of the Indians were merely
'hewing the paraffin, as one would
'hew gum, and in this way they were
citing the desired effect, without the
,eccssity Of draining off tn fluid.
Dealers in canncd heat were at once
Notified by the sheriff to desist from
selling any more to Indians.-Gate

Mothers Day, May 13. The Mother of Men

All over this country our people
observe Mothers Day. They listen to
words of praise Of the mothers of men,
give credit to the mothers of other
people, and perhaps a passing thought
to their own mothers.
1t is human nature, the way Of the
world
We see the good traits of the
mothers of other boys because we view
them from q distance and analyze
item from disinterested standpoint.
We often overlook the excellent
qualities of our own mothers because
we have been accustomed to them
from birth and accept their solicitous
care and attention as our due and as
matter of course.
There is no one like the mother.
She is the one who brings us into the
world--thc one who guards and trains
us from infancy to maturity-the one
who gives of such love as no other
human being may ever know.
No pedestal is too high and no con-
sidcration is too great for the mother
Of man.
For mother is mother, the most
wonderful work of Him who creates
MI peoples and all things.

u. S. Teachers
Conduct Modern
Guam School

Agana, Guam, Sept. 20 GA. P)-
The first professional American
teachers ever brought to the Island
of Guam, which the United States
took over from Spain rs years ago,
have just arrived here.
Chaplain w. L. Thompson, U. S. NJ
who was detailed as head of the de-
partment Of education Of Gaum in
1921, says he will now be able to
modernize the school system of the
island Up-to-date text books have
arrived from the United States, and
the chaplain will now be able to ex-
tend the course Of studies for the
native children. One-t third of all
the revenue Of the island government
is expended for education.
; The new American teachers, DIR.
Thomas Collins and four young wo-
men, will perform a veritable mis-
sionary work in giving the Chamorro
children a knowledge Of the English
language, which Chaplain Thompson
says is the most necessary element in
the effort for general development.
Chaplain Thompson and DR.. Collins
have started a normal school which
will give the native teachers their
first opportunity to learn accurate
/
principles of teaching.
The rapid increase in native popu-
lation since the American occupation,
according to the governor Of Gaum,
Captain II. b. Price, U. s. N, has
brought the number Of children in
school up to $500. OF this number
approximately 800 are more than 10
years old and attend school volun-
tarily. There are now 16 school build
i in with 60 native teachers in
For the first time in the history Of
American rule in Gaum, the native
communities surrounding the schools
are showing an active interest in ed
ucation, Governor Price reports. One
group of Chamorros recently salvag-
cd n 70-fOot spar from the beach,
dragged it many miles uphill and
helped install it as q flag pole in
front of school building. In the VII
lage of Pitt, the people recently vol
UNFAIRLY painted their school house.
The supervision of schools in the
more remote districts has its hazards.

make monthly inspection trips
through dense jungle and swamp,
mounted on bulls. These plodding
animals, gentle enough when handled
by native. become suddenly spirited
at the unfamiliar touch of white men,
and riding them adds certain sport
ing element to school teaching in the
tropics.
The naval medical officers on Gaum
have accomplished remarkable re-
suits through examining all school
children and treating them at the
navy hospital here for defects of the
eyes. teeth. and their general health
The superstitous fear of the hospital
/ gradually is being overcome, and
some natives have actually entered
n hospital voluntarily. In outlying
villages the navy hospital corps look
after the children, give first-aid les
sons to the native teachers, and serve
the medical needs of the community
in every way.

Scarsdale Poor
Aided BY Funds

New York Oct. % CA. P.)-The
citizens of Scarsdale, n. Y, a small
residential village on the Hudson
River. have formed an organization
known as the Scarsdale Foundation
to receive and disburse gifts by will
or otherwise for public educational
charitable or benevolent purposes"
The foundation, which will aid all
residents of the village who have run
up against misfortune, was started
by a fund collected for the purpose
of caring for the wife and children
of Sergeant John J. Harrison, a
soldier who lost his life in the World
War. Later a committee of citizens
was formed to establish a standing
fund for the relief of such cases as
might arise.
In order to guard against the posi-
bility that the foundation might
meet the same fate as the Sailors
Snug Harbor and other benevolent
funds of the sort, whose usefulness
has in a measure been outlived, the
committee resolved that the trustees
be vested with full discretion in the
application of the funds whenever
changed conditions render the origi-
nal purpose impossible of fulfillment.
This clause will do away with the
chance of the funds becoming use
less, as was the case with a Boston
