 Miss Patterson says that as q re suit of the malicious and unau- thorized" use of the generals picture many persons in her home town have said she sold permission 10 the defendant company to use the pie ture that accompanied the adycr- tisement. Attorneys for Miss Pat terson arc seeking to have the case heard before a jury. Counsel for the defendants will attempt to have it set aside as not actionable,

Alabama Indians
Rapidly Vanishing

Dallas, Texas, June 8 -lP)--Deep
in the piney woods of East Texas
lives people who have come down
from the dim antiquity of early
America. They are the Alabama
Indians, an isolated. orphan tribe.
Strange to the ways of modern
life and virtually without the pro-
lection of the Great White Father at
Washington, they are rapidly going
the way OF the vanishing race.
Through century, poverty and
struggle have been their lot, but
ever a gentle people, they have ut
tered no complaint.
Their condition has been brought
TO the attention of Congress by Rep
resentatiye Briggs of Texas, who
asked S125.000 to provide them with
land, livestock and equipment.
In the heart of the woods they live
a strange and detached life. When
DeSoto sought the city of gold in
Americas wilds, the Alabamas even
then We're an ancient nation. Two
of De Soto's chronicles mention
them. In the early part of the
Eighteenth century, the French
found these Indians in what is now
Alabama and became their fast
friends. The Indians. driven by APP
preaching civilization and desire
for more hunting ground, appeared
in Texas early in the Nineteenth
century. They built Fenced In Viii
lage, and there one of the. greatest
white friends. Gen. Sam Houston,
found them in 1854 Through his
influence, the Texas legislature gave

them two sections of land which
By Beck

tnem TWO sections or lana Wnlcn
they occupy to this day.
They live in what is called 1.-THE
Village in the southwestern corner
of Polk county. Selected for hunt
ing purposes, the land is not adapt
ed to agriculture. and since the
game is almost gone, their livelihood
is scant. General Houston advised
them to remain in Texas, so when
them to a reservation, they declin-
ed.
The tribe today numbers about $50.
Intermarriase and lack of medical
knowledge have weakened them.
They have few modern implements
and know little about scientific agri-
culture. Among themselves they
speak only the musical Alabama
tongue. 1t is against their policy
for the women to speak English, but
the children are learning the
language rapidly.
They do not mingle with whites
socially and are virtually unnoticed
by civil authority. Divorces are I'M
known. They have only two pun
ishments for crime. Punishment and
death. but these have not been used
in a generation.
The tribes principal link with
civilization is a church and school
conducted by missionaries supported
by the Southern Presbyterian
church.
The Indians adopted American
clothes some years back. Their
houses are log and frame, built by
themselves. The village is really a
collection of small houses in the
woods. without streets Birds,
animals, and trees are the COM
munity's chief interests.

Jersey Mosquito
Near Extinction

new bTunSWlCh, N. j., a uile 3--H'i
The Jersey 'skeeter is doomed.
DIR. Thomas J. Headlee, entomolo-
gist at the New Jersey AgricultT
Experiment Station, predicts that
serious mosquito menace will be n
thing Of the past within six years if
adequate financial support is con-
tinued.
The fight has been going on for a
quarter of century and two and a
half million dollars have been spent
in the last ten years.
In that period. 10000 acres of salt
marsh have been drained and up
wards of sixty per cent of the per-
manent breeding places in 100000
acres of upland have been wiped out.
Through the mosquito breeding sea-
son these 100000 acres are patrolled
regularly.
