Of brick masonry.
The inquiry included tests on 159

ings of blue and buff were those at tached to the roads crack trains which pass daily through those his toric fields where the Minute Men battled the British a century and q half ago.
 The state Of Massachusetts, Sons of the Revolution, and the New England Council had long looked upon blue and buff as the uniform Colors of the Minute Men. but the current divergence of opinion has revealed that the first official color combination Of the Continental forces was blue and white.
 After various authorities had ex- pressed their views, railroad officials announced that blue and buff had been chosen to typify the Minute Men only after exhaustive research, and indicated the locomotive would continue to sport that combination of Colors.

CURTIS MIXTURE OF
 INDIAN AND YANKEE
Blood of Redskins and PupitdnS
 in Senator's Veins
BY GEORGE II. MANNINti

(washins;ou Bureau os the \. B. Hu.ald)
 Washington, p. C.. Sept. $o-Thc most picturesque republican prcsi- dental candidate yet put forward by an enthusiastic constituency is Senator Charles Curtis Of Kansas, republican floor leader Of the Sen ate.
 Senator Curtis has in him con ficting and potent ancestry. His great-grandmother was an Indian, the daughter of a Raw chicf and the granddaughter of an 'osage chief His grandfather was a French trader near St Louis. His grand mother on the Curtis side was Pa melia Hubbard, New Hampshire woman with all the traditions Of New England in her makeup. De- seconded from early New Workers, his father went from Indiana to Kansas. There. just before his father went 10 fight in the Civil war, Charles Curtis was born on farm near To- peka. part of the Indian heritage of his half-Indian grandmother, Julie Conville Pappan.
 William Allen White says "Our Charley as they call him around Topeka, has never in his long and rising career lost friend or trusted an enemy. That, perhaps, Is the In- dian In him. He has pursued his work with a New England con- science. He has the gift of silence when silence is geous-from his Indian great t-grandmother, and The gift Of palaver-When palaver is edvantageous-fro his French grandfather.
 g. Years in Public Office
 Senator Curtis Is G7 years old, one learns with q shock when con- sulting his biography. He does not look over 55. Brown and stalwart, with face that seems to be carved with living. but certainly not lined with age, he has the appearance of | strong. healthy man who has liv- cd an active outdoor life.
 Yet he has held office since he vas 24 years old, barring six years. Of these S7 years spent in office. 20 years have been spent In the United States senate. barring two years when he fell in the Roosevelt split in 1912. Before he came to the senate, he spent 16 years in the house Of representatives. The rest of his political career was spent as prosecuting attorney of Shawnee county, where the capital of Kansas i. located. From tie time he was admitted 10 the bar at the age of 21 until today, when he is G7, he has spent only three periods out Of puh- lie oflIce--the first three years when he was starting out in the

STREETS ARE, NARROW

Shanghai Sept. 30 OUP)-With a half dozen notable exceptions, all Of Shanghais streets are narrow, yet the average motor car dashes through the streets at 30 miles per hour and more. A speed law exists but no attention is paid to it and the oldest inhabitant cant remember when a motorist was arrested for speeding. Plenty Of motorists ap- pear in the traffic courts but usually for obstructing traffic or parking cars in prohibited zones.

Jaw and getting his political ap- rrentieeship; then four years, be ginning when he was 2s years old in the practice of law, and finally those two years between 1912 and 1914 while he was out of the Senate on q mero fluke.
 Contrast with this the background of Secretary of Commerce II rbert Hoover, who has never run for of flee in his life. There is some pos SibIlity that Kansas might put for ward Senator Curtis for the office Of president if they do not push him for the presidential nomination. Ii he should be named as the run ming mate for Hoover. there would be a man who never before tried to win an election, and who never participated in party politics prior to his elevation 10 the Cabinet, run ming with a man who has been io- ing party organization work and making election campaigns for near ly half q century. For Charley Cur tis began working in politics when he was 2l, and he will be GS years old before the next campaign be- gins.
 Romance. Adventure, Work, Study
 Senator Curris'S early career was filled with romance and adventure, and likewise with hard work and study again that combination Of French, Indian. and New England ancestry urging hlm toward varying projects. His mother died when he was three years old, and he went to live with his grandmother on an Indian reservation. He hunted on the illimitable prairie when boys of his age in the East were in kinder g9rtcn. When he was eight years old, he went back 10 live with his fathers people, and became a jock ey. riding horses in the races at the county fairs, By the time he was ten, he had name in the State as a jockey, and by the time he was twelve, he really was n prominent figure in his State, a handsome StbllS lIl'Iltl JOthtS-
 When the Government sent the Kaw Indians from their Kansas res crvation, the little Curtis boy want d 10 go with his grandmother Pappan, and he started out with the tribe on their trek to the Indian Territory. where Oklah homa now is. But in the camp late one night, his grandmother came to him and told him to go back, He did, walking all the way to Topeka. In the winter he went to school. In the fall he rode in the races.
 Gives Up RacetraCk
 When he was IS years old. again a woman's counsel changed the course of his life. He had a good contract for riding for the winter, but this time his New England grandmother came to him, and per sUaded him to quit the racetrack and go to school. He finished the common school, and studied in his spare time while he worked in livery stable. Soon he got a job on a North Topeka newspaper, and he spent his late teens getting sub- scriptions and writing news for the paper.
 Senator Curtis says the two most important decisions of his life were
New Britain herald., 1927-09-30

guided by women, in what he be- lieves to be the right direction, his Indian grandmother on the one hand and his New England grand mother on the other. Perhaps that IS why he was willing to bear the brunt Of the fight in the Senate for woman suffrage by Federal Amend ment, and why the proposed Equal Rights Amendment to the United States Constitution reading, Men and women shall have equal rights throughout the United States and every place subject 10 it's jurisdic- tion." is one Of the very few national measures he has ever sponsored in Congress.
 Learned Secret Of Control
 Senator Curtis is a practical poll tician. He got his start by learning how one may control caucuSes, and conventions, and nomination. He learned that those with friends are those who are elected. He found his district largely made up of farmers and railroad workers. So he went to  conventions calling farmers and rail- road workers and officials by their first names. He serves his Kansas constituency with meticulous fidel- ity. He gets his friends jobs, for that is part of politics. But, they say his friends never diA rich, and he never gets financial profit from his political work. Again William Allen White strikes the keynote when he says: Cabinet members trusted Curtis. He did not lie; he did not steal; he did not blab. He never stopped working until the job which he had in hand was done"
 The republicans could scarcely se- ltct a more American candidate for the presidential nomination. There is the original American blood-the Indian-in him. His New England ancestors, the Hubbards. arrived in Massachusetts in 1921. just one year after the Mayflower landed in New England by mistake. His Curtis an cestors reached New York in 1631.
