Indian Art
In Santa Fe, N. NJ, is being held
this week, third annual fair OF the
Southwest Indians. The Bureau of
Indian Affairs is cooperating with the
Santa Fe Chamber of Commerce in
the encouragement of native arts and
crafts of different tribes and keeping
them as distinctive as possible for the
danger that the steady drift OF the
Indians toward agriculture and the
mechanical arts will tend to the van
ishing of their native arts. is the main
reason for the establishment of this
yearly exhibit and markets for their
handiwork.
School Teachers and Salaries

in any school teacher, with the usual
salary to- arrive on the stage of her
years work with cash in hand for
the current bills of September, afer
vacation of three months and the
usual extra expenditures for vacation
trips or summer school. The salary

ally deemed inadequate, but in most
places continued practically the same.

nure with their teachers, who make
the salary payments monthly turnout

Boston, Denver, Los Angeles, Mem

How to Pecome President
First be a lawyer. At any rate,
twenty of the twenty mine presidents
to date have been lawyers. 1t is thot
that lawyers got a near monopoly on
the White House in the days when
politics was chiefly oratory; and law
yers are as rule the best orators. 1t
can be noted however, that there are
stepping stones to the exalted seat
of the presidency, and lawyers are
pretty we'll sprinkled along this path.
Their local prominence and their
leisure (sad to say) give lawyers fire.
quent official positions from school
boards up. Precedents seemed broken
in the case of a college professor,
Woodrow Wilson, attaining the posi-
ton of president of the United States.
This may happen again, should John
w. Davis be the winning man.

Princes and Conquerors
Dividing interest on the front page
of the daily papers of the past week
were the arrival of the Prince OF
| Wales, as a brief visitor and the re-
turn of our army world-fiers One

: ers won theirs by sheer courage and
skill. In all, the thrill was much great
err over the safe return of our heroes
of the air than over England's prince,
honored and estirnabe tho he may be.
Italy's Great Men
Could it be true anywhere else than
Italy that men of note in the musical
world or the realm of poetry would
be considered good statesmen? This
was first brought to notice in the case
of Gabriel d'Annunzio, poet and mill
tary leader, who has, however, now
refused senatorship offered him. But
Mascagin and Puccini, world renown-
of composers, will accept this political
honor, acceptance being made on
September 20. national fete day.
Freedom and Fame
The painting of a marvellous picture
of Christ as healer on the walls OF
the Federal prison i'll Atlanta, brought
the convict artist, Max SasanoH, so
much favorable attention that move
ment was started in his behalf that
won his freedom. This fame has won
him several engagements. He is now
working on portrait of President
Coolidge, and on completion of this
picture, he will go to Montgomery
Ala, to paint another picture OF
Christ on the wall of the rotunda
!of Kilby prison. He was engaged by
the Big Brother Bible Class of Mont
gomery and he will be paid $1,000 tor
his work. 1t was decided on investiga-
ton of his case that he was more sin
med against than shining, and mo- stig-
ma will follow his unfortunate incar-
ceration in Federal prison.

narrow streets and its mob of speed
ers tries one plan after another to les
sen its fearful casualty record. By
proclamation of the Mayor, brake in
spection and stopping tests are being
conducted this week at convenient To-
cations in the city. In similar cam
paigns in 200 cities over the country
this summer, it was discovered that
