MONTANA INDIANS

Aroused By Indian Citizenship
Enactment Interest in Politics
Develops Rapidly

HELENA. Mont, Aug. 18.-
Montana Indians, apparently arous-
ed by the recent enactment of the
Indian citizenship bill, are taking an
increasing interest in politics. Sew
eral Indians, educated in the reser-
Walton schools, have filed this year
for county offices, while Robert
Yellowtail, three quarter blood
Grow Indian, of lodge Grass, on
the Grow reservation, has announc-
ed his desire to attend the white
mans Congress at Washington as a
representative from Montana.
Yellowtail, who is 95 years old,
completed his education by private
tutoring after his graduation from
the reservation schools. Encourage d
by his tribesmen, he recently filed
for Congress from the second dis
trict, subject to the primary election
Aug. 26. He is opposing Congress
man Scott Leavitt, of Great Falls,
who is completing his first term.
Montana's Indian population is
estimated at $4,000, of whom 1000
live in the second congressional dis
trict. More than $500 Indians
from the six reservations will be
allowed to vote this year. Yellow
tail, who gives his occupation as a
rancher, announces he VIII base his
campaign on his knowledge of In

FINANCE AND PATENTS

burst bubble of nigh hopes is the
story of Germany's radio industry.
When government restrictions on
the sale of receiving sets were lift
ed last fall, hundred or more fac
tories sprung up. Of these, only
two or three are still working,
largely for expectation. The manu-
facturers blame the introduction of
the rentenmark and the sudden end

alton.
The fact that most of the 900
patents in the field are controlled
by the "Telefunken" concern prov
ed to be another snag for the young
industry.

Mors, recently divorced after
clandestine courtship by Mccoy,
was found on Aug. 10 bullet slain
in an apartment, said by police to

For weeks prior Mccoy had play

death, charged to Mccoy, he ran
amuck in the streets with a revolv-

CHICAGO KIVANIANS
HELP HUNGRY KIDS
Under-PriviIeged Children Have
Been Studied by Club During
Several Years Past

CHICAGO, Aug. 18.--How TO
help under-privileged children along
the path toward good citizenship is
one Of the problems the Kiwanis
clubs of Chicago have studied for a
number of years. Various move
ments with this end in view have
been carried out with gratifying re-
suits, officers say, and now an eff
fort toward happier state of mind
is to be made through the child s
stomach.
Psychologists are generally agreed
chat the chances are decidedly
against the undernourishad boy or
girl" they assert. Hunger breeds
unhappiness and unhappiness breeds
bitterness against those more fortu.
nately situated. Kiwanians believe
that building up the bodies of these
underfed little folk will tend to pro-
duce a cheerier outlook on life, in
other words, that more good citi-
bens will develop from group OF
well fed children than will come
from the same number of under
nourished children.
"The Kiwanis clubs therefore
perfected arrangements to dis
tribute during the summer 1000.
! 600 free bottles of milk. Mothers
in the poorer sections of the city
were given coupon books emitting
them to a given number of quarts o.
milk over a certain period, new
books to be issued as needed"

LAPP WRATH-SONGS
 SECURED BY EXPERT
Natives Of That Country EXalt
 Profanity Into an Art

Stockholm, April 95.-The Lapps are perhaps the only people in the world who have no swear words in thcir language, but they have wrath songs instead, and thus have, in a sense, eNaltel profanity into an art. This and other striking information about the music Of the Lapps has just come to light through the eX- plorations and researches of Karl T'iren. who has brought back to Stock holm 300 scores and 700 phonogra ph records of the weird songs of these mysterious namods of the Swedish north.
 The fact that I.app lays are forms of personal expression and not means of giving entertainment for listeners, has made it almost impossible for ob- servers 10 learn much about them. It took years Of association before Ntr. Tiren could win sufficient confl- dcnce of any Iapp to be let into 50 secret and personal a thing as his music making, or 'ioikning." as it is called. Once that confidence was established, however, he was richly rewarded.
 The typical I.app song contains a mclodious metrical and rhythmical text without rhyme. The music is descriptive of the theme and there arr ''icitmotivs" for each person, animal or thing. The bear. the reindeer, the squirrel. the river, the hill, even tho mosquito, each has his peculiar motive.
 Mr. Tiren has interested musicians here by showing that many pieces of the l.app music bear strong rescm- blance to Wagner. Thus song about bear that attacks the rein

BRITISH FEAR FOR

Long Series of Tunbles From His

London. April e5.-From the depths of cockney London as from the drawing rooms has arisen a desire that the heir 10 the throne should use the soft pedal when he goes into the hunting field. The long series of tumbes from his horses which are credited to His Royal Highness and which terminated with the narrow escape from serious injury which he experienced when his horse kicked him in the face. has been too much for the tranquility of the English people.
 The newspapers were inc first to take up the matter. They printed columns impressing upon the people the danger confronting the prince. and featured a long list Of hunting and racing accidents which have oc- cured to him during the last two years.
 As result of the public feeling thus aroused. numerous clubs and societies have adopted resolutions urging the prime minister or someone, to impress upon young Windsor that

New York, April 25.--Bchind the scenes Of the gigantic task of making arrangements for the smooth opera ton of the democratic national con- Nention, which comes here this year for the first time m 56 years, there is one all-powerful stage manager. He is George r. Mara, q Bridgeport. Conn.,, lawyer who the party credited with having successfully conducted the mechanics Of the 1920 convention in Saa Francisco He has been called "The Human Dynamo.
 With the guiding rcins in lis hands, Mir. Mara, since the convention site was decided as Madison Square Gar den. has invisihly controlled I vori table labyrinth Of int rlocl;ing tasks. With military precision and efficiency, he has directed an undertaking fraught with difficulties and over loaded with notifications anything but military and ycct unlike a com manda chief. he has been unseen and even unknown by many of those entrusted with the detailed aspects Of tho plan Of action.
 In JaHuary Mir. Mara. Officially cloaked with the title "rNecutiNe sec retary of the national convention ar engagements committee" quietly eS- tablished a corps of workers who were aided by tine Citizens Commit tee and the Mayors Committee. Under his direction. under committees and subcommittee were created. Among the tasks accomplished have been:
 a.0ao Rusinr,s Men to Help
 Organization of a non partisan committee Of e,p00 business men to help finance the conreniion: organiza- toin of committees from the scores or local social. commercial and political groups; inspection af hotel accommo- dations and allocation Of space to campaign committees, delegates and altprnatcs

he should not indulge so freely in this dangerous sport.
 It is known that persons close to the royal family have often spoken 10 the prince on the subject. and it is known that the royal parents cast an unsympathetic eye upon these esca- pades of their offspring. but so far they appear to get only an equally unsympathetic response. To the representations of his friends the prince only laughs.
 It is thought by many that the premier and his cabinet will step in and gently but firmly inform the prince privately that he cannot take the same risks as other men and that they vii lfrown upon any more such they will frown upon any more such
