Indian Population
Shows Increase.
PueblOs Alone Have n Per Cent Growth
In 10 Years, Survey Reveals.

Contrary to widely circulated
reports that the American Indian
is dying off at an alarming rate in
the great southwest" the Pueblos
and other Ipdian populations are
holding tneir own and increasing
at rate nearly as high as that
shown by census figures for che
white population.
DR.. Edgar L Hewett, director
of the school for American re-.
search of the Archaeological Insti-
tute of America, located at Santa
Fe, New Mexico, has transmitted
to the American Association for
the Advancement of Science a re
port of a census just made that
shows that in the last decade the
population of Pueblo villages has
increased 22.2 per cent and now
totals 10,565. Only one Pueblo
village showed a decrease. and that
was due to an influenza epidemic
a few years ago.
These figures DR.. Hewett con-
siders adequate refutation of the
general idea that there has been a
startling decrease in our primi.
tive population"
"On the question of the Indian
ceremonies, also, much emotion
has been wasted" DR.. Hewett
says. "They are vital in the life
of the Indians. They are highly
esthetic in character. Nor are the
ceremonies dying out or are they
likely to. On the contrary cere
monies that had disappeared are
being revived every year"
There is no religious persecution
of the Pueblos, no effort is being
made to suppress their dances
unless pernicious features crop
out"
Recently published statements
claiming an appalling prevalence
of disease among these Indians are
declared to be misleading. While
trachoma is considered by DR..
Hewett to be the most serious
disease among the Indians, he de.
ciared statements that thousands
of Indians are going blind from
trachoma," are exaggerations.
The question of titles to Pueblo
lands is being adjusted by a land
board established by Congress.

"Lo, The Poor Indian. y
Detroit Record)

A party of Fergus Falls tourists
returning from a trip in northern
Minnesota tell an amusing story.
They looked for Indians on their
entire trip through the wilderness
but did not happen to see any until
they returned to civilization.
When they pulled into the tourist
park at Detroit, one of the touring
parties encamped there was an
Indian family. They were the
best dressed folks in the park and
had the most expensive car.
Somehow, the expression 'Lo, the
poor Indian" didn't fit, but it
seemed more proper to- refer to
them as First Families of Ameri-
Ca"

Active List, Finishes
Game for White Sox.

After eight years retirement
from major league baseball, Albert
Chief" Bender, the pitching star
of Connie Mack's pennant win
ming Athletics a dozen years ago,
returned to the box in the game
between the Chicago White Sox
and Boston last week.
The chief pitched the final inn
ing of toe first game for the Chi.
cage White Sox against Boston,
and was touched for two runs He
walked the first batter and, after
the next two were forced to hit
into easy outs, Carlyle hit a home
run.
The Indian, who admits to Al
years, joined the White Sox as a
pitching coach this year. He has
been working hard to get into
shape and was placed on the active
list.
II can still pitch AS good as two
thirds of the men in the American
League, Bender said, "and l
hope to be able to take a regular
turn in the box soon,"
Manager Collins gives the Indian
the credit for many a game won in
the bull pen" through the chiefs
advice to the younger twirlers.
Blankenship, one of the Sox
younger stars, is Bender's special
pupil. Collins pointed to the diff.
erence in Blankenship's style in
the second game against Boston,
when the young Texas collegian
coolly held the Red Sox to seven
scattered hits and won the game.

My Medicine speaks to my red
brothers I'm the ancient
days when your grandfathers were
young men. they had many enc.
mics. Your grandfathers then
used the bow and arrow. The
arrow was powerful, it brought
meat and robes to your lodges, it
killed many enemies.
Now it happened that your ene-
mics found a new weapon, it was
the rifle. The rifle would shoot
very far, : it was more powerful
than the arrow, so the wise chiefs
held a great council. They said,
I'VE shall get many fukes so that
our weapons will be as powerful
as those of our enemies. They
traded many hides for fukes,
powder and ball and now each
warrior had weapon that would
kill as far as the weapon of his
enemy. This was in the long ago
time.
Today the Redman is fighting a
powerful enemy. This enemy has
a heart that is bad, he has no pity
his heart is glad when he can
make war on Old people and child
ren-his heart glitters when he
sees that the Indian cannot see

free them from the bonds of

not do this-his heart is bad,. his

DEFUsco DISCHARGED
Man Arrested by State Policeman
 Found Not Guilty

After hearing the states evidence in the case of Philip DeFuseo. charg- ed with driving his automobile while under the influence of liquor. he was found not guilty by Judge Geissler, Saturday morning.
 The man was arrested by State Po- lieeman Merrill Keith the previous Monday. on Grove street. and furnish ed bonds for his appearance. Keith told the court that DeFusee was driv- ing over thirty-five miles an hour. that he narrowly missed hitting two other cars, and that his breath smelled of liquor. Captain Jarvis also said that the mans breath smelled of liquor The state officer admitted that the man could walk and talk straight and that there was no liquor in the car.
 Dr. P. B. Murphy told the court that he examined neFuseo after his arrest and that from his conversation, de meanor. and general appearance he was normal and in his. the doctors opinion, DeFuseo was not intoxicated.
 A written statement by Dr. l.. F.. Perry had been prepared but was not introduced by the prosecutor, 90 it's contents were not divnlged at the hear ing. It led to the inference that 1t was not strongly in favor of the state.
 DeFusco denied that he had been drinking, and laid any odor like liquor to liquid with which lie had cleaned the seats of his ear.

Two Putnam Drivers Leave Money In
 Bay State Court

Edward C. Fisher, School street. was fined S100 in the district court at Southhridge. Friday afternoon. after he had entered plea of guilty to a charge of speeding.
 Fisher was apprehended while pass ing through Oxford. According to a statement made by the officer who or dered him to appear in court, Fisher passed him on the highway so fast that 1t was hopeless for the officer in his flivver to undertake to even keep the Connecticut car in sight. Realiz- ing the uselessness of an attempt to catch the driver of the high power car, the officer went to telephone and called up the state police barracks at Oxford and they were on the lookout for Fisher when he arrived.
 Amidee Derosier, locally known as Middle Stone, was arrested in Webster last week Sunday, following an auto mobile accident, and gave bonds for his appearance in the district court on charge of driving while under the influence of liquor. The case was continued until Saturday when the de- fendant appeared. pleaded guilty, and paid a fine of Sl00.

Misses Bartlett We'll Received h
 Warrenville

Misses Ruth and Dorcas Bartlett of this city were the entertainers at knowlton Memorial Hall. Warren vile, Saturday evening. How their efforts were looked upon is told by the correspondent in the Willimantic Chronicle" as follows:
 "A most delightful entertainment, was the verdict of the large audience attending the varied musicale given by the Misses Dorcas and Ruth Bart lett of Putnam and of the Swarthmore Chautauqua circuit, in Knowlton Me- morial Hall at Warrenville, last Saturday evening.
 "To natural charm of presence and sincerity of character, these young ladies add very unusual talent and a remarkable adaptability to each other. Whether 1t be in song by one while the other accompanies with piano, or the Irish harp. or banjo or ukelele; {; or in vocal duets with single or double accompaniment. or in musical monologue with alternate aceompani- ment, their cooperation in technique and in spirit is very engaging and soon wins the audience, frequently with enthusiastic applause. Their SC leetions were right up to date, also"

OLD VETERANS CRASH
 BUT NO HARM DONE

Union block was built in 1882. Dur ing the forenoon of Monday large Packard touring car of vintage some years after the block was erected, crashed into the south wall of the building just east of the postofiice window. The man who drove the car is from Woodstock. and he headed from Union Square toward the curb ing intending to stop. The brakes did not work and the ear continued until i, nosed into the side of the building, chipping off piece of brick and caus- ing q jar that was noticeable by the tenants in the block. The veteran car did not sustain any more serious dam age than did the building. It was fifty fifty between the two old veterans.
