BALL IS
STILL FAVORITE
WITH TRIBESMEN
(By Dispatch A. P. Wirel

OKLAHOMA CITY. June 12.-Indian
ball, game requiring almost as
much skill as the white mans base
ball, was played in oklahoma before
the white man found his way here
to found. his government, build his
cities and drill his oil wells. 1t re-
sembles the Canadian sport of Ia
crosse.
Details of the game, for many
years the chief sport of the Indian,
are now given by a former player
w. A. Durant, secretary of the Okla
home school land department, and
himself a Choctaw Indian.
To this day the game is played
among the Indian tribes of eastern
Oklahoma. Twenty-four players are
used, twelve on side. Two poles,
usually Is feet high and of small
circumference, are set about 100 yards
apart Four of the players of each
team stand in the center of the court
Catch With Sticks
Play begins when the ball is tossed
in the air Each Indian has two
sticks, about three feet in length
with pockets on the ends formed with
i buckslin. AS the ball goes into the
/ air the eight "centers" try to GRASP
it with their sticks. The player who
succeeds throws the ball, by aid ot
the sticks, towards his goal post
Should he strike the post, his team
is given one point credit.

MEXICO PLANNING.
EXTENSIVE ROAD
BUILDING SOON

Mexico has been mapping out an
extensive highway construction pro-
gram that will open up new areas for
development and permit Mexico City
to enjoy better communications with
the outside world, according to word
received by Juan Marshall Mexica
consul here.
1t is proposed to connect Mexico
City and Laredo, Texas, with 1000
miles of excellent highway, thus fa-
ciliating the exchange of products
between the, United States and the
southern republic and also to connect
Mexico City with Acapulco Puebla
and the national highway of the, state
of Chihuahua.
With the adjustment of the ma
tional budget, a new era of progress
is in view for Mexico which includes
the rehabilitation of the national
credit and the establishment Of the
new Banco de Mexico with capital
contributed by the national treasury
The construction of new highways in
Mexico is one of many progressive
steps taken by leaders of the coun-
try in looking forward to reconstruc-
tion and probably the most important
to- accomplish toward this end in the
least amount of time as it will estab-
lish closer relations between the diff
ferent productive fields and the coast,
giving natural resources a better and
more ready outlet to the world mar
kets. tiF3n
The new lines of communication are
to be constructed under the supervi-
sion of the national commission OF
highways and the payment OF their
construction is guaranteed by a rever
nue. derived from these sources, the
federal government has promised to
appropriate an additional sum 50 that
the work may continue without; inter
ruption, it is stated.
The highway from Mexico City to
Laretios will be approximately 1000
miles long. and is regarded as one OF
the most essential that could be built
as it will facilitate the exchange OF
products between the United States
and Mexico and encourage the travel
of tourists The proposed highway
will pass through rich mineral ana
agricultural sections and also traVer-
ses the manufacturing section OF the
state of Nuevo Leon.
The highway from Mexico City to
Acapulco will be more than. 800 miles
in length and will join the capital
with the Pacific coast on the west.
The third of the new highways will
join the capital of the southern re-
public with the city Of Puebla, dis
tance of 100 miles, passing through a
beautiful and productive region that
is especially attractive to- tourists.

Came Is ROuGh


Game Is Rough
Rules governing the game are not
so strict as in the whiteman's game
of baseball, says Durant. When a
player catches the ball between his
two sticks, an opponent may run
against him, throwing him off balance
if possible, may trip him or may
throw one of his sticks between the
two by which the player is holding
the ball, thus causing it to drop to.
the ground.
A player is not allowed to touch the
ball with his hand. There is no ''out
of bounds" to the court The ball
used is smaller than the baseball.
1t usually has a center of lead upon
which twine is wound. The cover
is of buckskin
1.-THE game is a rough one" says
Durant with all the tripping, strik-
ing and jostling, a player leaves the
game with bruises. Many times he
is struck on the head by stick or
his knuckles are cracked by the club
of an opponent. Orders were finally
issued that the clubs must not weigh
over a, certain number of ounces"

BREAKS
ALL OF FORMER
SALES RECORDS

In the eight months since the cur
rent series of the Better Buick was
introduced, the Buick Motor COM
pany has broken by 1000 cars it's
highest previous shipment record for
an entire fiscal year.
During this period Bucik has also
smashed practically every production
and shipment record made since it's
founding, 2S, years ago.
The monthly average for the past
eight months is better than the high
est previous single month in Buick
history.
The climax of this most active pc
riod was reached in, March, when 25,-
305 cArs were shipped The previous
high mark prior to 1926 was made
in October, 1925, when 22,S5J ears
were loaded and sent out. This rec
ord, however, was broken in each Of
the first three months of this year.
In January the shipments setsa new
record of 23,265 cars, which is 415
better than the mark of last Octo-
Der. In February the record of the
previous month was beaten by %
cars. The March record smashed
that of February by POLL cars
1 In addition, the average shipment
for the eight period was 22,-
S65 cars. This average also breaks
the single month record made las'
October. Production to April 1st Of
the current series was 1929 cars
all of which have been shipped from
the factory. The Buick plant ha!
been at capacity continuously since
August, 1925, when the 1926 models
were first introduced.
Buick dealers have been able t.
stock only a very few cars in an
ticipation of the big demand. Car
have been going into the hands 0
owners as soon as they arrived from
the factory.

craft museums and cooperatives They mag
med that by doing these things they were build
ing up socialism, while they actually were help
ing forward the capitalist development, because
only the well-to-do farmers could use them. And
they still believed that the Russian "mir"-the
village community-was sound and would be-
come the foundation of socialist society. They
claimed capitalism to be a foreign plant in Rus
STA, and that the modern workers. movement
would not appear in that country.
But the facts were otherwise. The workers in
Petersburg had as early as 1925, during the days
of the Decembrist revolt demanded weapon to
fight czarism. And there occurred strikes which
were declared to come under the criminal law of
1845. In the seventies, there were study circles
and fighting groups among the workers. The
carpenter, Stephen Halturin, gathered statitics
in Petersburg factories and wrote the first mod
ern working-class program But he was also
terrorist and blew up the Winter Palace in 1878,
tho Alexander III was only killed two years later.
AS late as 1887 little group of revolutionaries
went to the Nevsky Prospect with bombs in order
to kill Alexander III, but they were betrayed and
caught. Among those hanged was Alexander
UlyanOv, the brother of Lenin.
These revolutionary intellectuals and workers
had very confused theories. a mix-up of anarch-
ism, Bakuninism, Lassalleanism and Russian
pOpulism, idealization of country life and of the
mir. They despised political activity and politi-
cal liberties The old terrorist party was split,
and it's activities melted away
But there was also MARKHAM groups in Russia.
One of the first was created by a Bulgarian
student Blagoyev (who died in 1924 in Bulgaria
as a Communist). The students approached the
workers. MARKHAM books were circulated and
secret papers distributed In the early years of
the nineties, there was one name mentioned in the
MARKHAM groups. 1t was Lenin.

Childhood and Youth.
VLADIMIR ILYITCH ULYANOV

VLADIMIR ILYITCH ULYANOV was born
on April %, 1870. His forefathers had been
peasants, his grandfather was tOwnsman in
Astrakhan, his father a school superintendent in
Simbirsk. He was an upright man and founded
more than 400 schools. He was not landlord
and did not belong to the nobility. 1t is neces-
sary to point this out because the social-demo-
Gratis are trying to explain his "inclination to
dictatorship" to be an inheritance from his noble
ancestors.
The character of his mother is shown by one
episode. 1t is told by worker, arrested in
1899, for participating in a strike. He was in
the outer room of the police ministry, when the
chief of the department entered and said to an
old woman: "YOu can be proud of your chill
dren. One is hanged and the rope awaits the
other" The woman rose and said simply: eyes,
/ am proud of my children" 4. She was Len
ms mother and was there on his behalf, since
he was at that time in Siberia.
Lenin was good student He learned to work
systematically. But he was also the leader of
his schoolmates; he was always starting discus
sions about social questions. He admired the
revolutionaries He left high school and the
teachers we're compelled to give him the gold
medal of the first student although he already
at that time Showed revolutionary inclinations."
