SILHOUETTE OF INDIAN
ON HIGHWAY MARKERS
BY the Associated Press.

MANDAN, y. Oak. April 13.-The
silhouette of Red Tomahawk, slayer OF
sitting Bull, has been painted on
every highway marker in North Da-
kota.
He is the States most representa-
tive Indian citizen, the highway COM
mission believes, and It will perpetu'
ate his likeness on it's guide posts.
Red Tomahawk was an Indian po'
liceman in the early eighties when he
slew Sitting Bull. chief Of the Sioux
Tribe, of which he was member.
Today he lives near Wishek, n. OAK,
as quietly as his public duties Wlil
permit, for whenever a distinguished
visitor comes to the State he IS sum
naoned to help receive the guest.
When Queen Marie crossed North
Dakota, Red Tomahawk gave her a
feathered war bonnet on behalf of his
tribe, and he was disturbed not whit
when, after donning it, her majesty
retired to her private car and washed
her hair.
A missionary taught Red Tomahawk
10 write his name recently, but he is
weak on spelling and the best he can
DO is RED Tommy Hawk"

William III. Settle, president OF the
Indiana Farm Bureau Federation,
Yesterday definitely launched a boom

Lowden will be a candidate if the

the political situation from farmer
viewpoint upon his return yesterday
from Oregon, Ill.,, where he and Her,
man Steen, secretary of the Central
States Soft Wheat Growers Associa'
ton, conferred with the Illinois ex'
governor on the farm situation.
''I told Mr.. Lowden," Settle said
'sthat the policy of the Coolidge ad
ministration has been such that II
had forfeited the confidence of the
farmers Of the nation, and that they
would not sanction continuation oi
an administration which failed tc

Flying Inspectors to Journey in Planes
To Prove They re Not "Parlor Aviators

Mai. Young will return by train as
far as Wichita. kans., where he will
take over new Travelair biplane
now being built for the department
and fly it into Washington. Maj.
Young plans to return about the 1st
Of May.
The department is purchasing sew
eraI light commercial planes of the
type generally in use throughout the
country for the use of flying inspec-
tors, who, by the use Of those planes,
will be on a par with the airmen over
whom they have supervision.
This plan was adopted to allay any
feeling that might arise among private
and commercial birdmen that the in.
spectors know little or nothing about
the thing they will regulate. The
aeronautics branch has adopted an un-
written policy that all inspection trips
shall be made by air.

No great effect upon American trade
need be expected, however, he said,
duties represented an action which the
American Government, in view of its
own traditional policies, could scarcely
be expected to criticize.
The chief pressure from the new
British duties would probably be on
automobile tires, Mr.. Hoover con-
tinued, and American shipments of
such material to Great Britain itself
has not been large item in recent

WRENS NEED LARGER
ENTRANCES TO HOMES
Disliked to Be Squeezed, Says De-
partment of Agriculture
Bulletin.

House wrens dislike to be squeezed,
says a bulletin issued by the Depart
ment Of Agriculture in setting
forth that the entrance to wren
house should be from Ia to III
inches in diameter.
For years, the department says, it
has been recommended that the en-
trance to a nest box for house wrens
should be only the size of a rs cent
coin or about seven-eighths of an inch
in diameter. This advice was on the
theory that the wren needs protection
from larger birds that might oust it
from birdhouses.
"The wren itself, however. may
have other ideas about the matter" "
continues the announcement, for of
several bird boxes with seven-eighths-
inch entrances tried out by the Bio.
logical Survey of the department last
Summer on the experimental farm at
Glenn Dale, Md, not one was occu-
pied"
Ten broods of wrens were reared,
however, in houses having from IA
to ia inch entrances, a fact that
clearly indicates the birds preference
for more ample entrances.
