Proud Indian Lived in
Poverty Amid Riches

Little Neck, L. Vivid Pigeon,
sachem of the Montauk and Maria
gansett Indians, died in a dilapidated
shack in Little Neck on the land
which he had defended so vigorously
from encroachments of the white
man.
The physician who signed the death
certificate said the fifty-one-year-old
chieftain suceumbed to heart dis
ease. Those who knew him, however,
believe chagrin over his losing fight
to preserve the ancient burial ground
of his people contributed to his
death.
For nearly three centuries mem
bers of his tribe lay buried in a little
plot surrounding his house at Little
Neck.
Last year the city proposed to
widen boulevard in such manner
that the graves would be covered
with pavement. Wild Pigeon pro-
tested. In the courts the city Won.
Wild Pigeon watched, helpless. He
had to stop his work in the general
post Office at Manhattan, and his
health failed steadily until the end.
Widening of the boulevard made
the Indians land already valuable,
worth more than 100000. But he in
dignantly refused to consider its sale.

Michael Golanski, who are members
of Protection Hose company of Port
Washington, and Samuel Marcling, a
taxicab driver were held without bail
recently by Egbert L'Ecluse, justice Of
the peace, charged with arson in the
third degree.
Nofi and Golanslli are taEicab driv-
ers as we'll as volunteer firemen, but
were unable to find sufficient outlet
for their eXuberant heroism Half a
dozen times a week they were in the
mood for mad rescues, for swinging
from one volcanic window to another
on scaling ladders, for battering their
way to the heart of a roaring fire.
But fires were few in Port Washing
ton, and Nofi and Golanski chafed in
melancholy desuetude UNTIL according
to Seward Spoor, assistant district at
torney, with the help of Marching they
kindled a quite satisfactory fire in the
office of the Daniels Real Estate De-
velopment company, between Port
Washington and Sands Point
Nofi and Golanski were among the
first firemen to arrive. They toiled
with unremitting valor and determine
ton. covering themselves and Protec-
ton Hose company with glory. On all
sides resounded commentator for
Nofi and Golanski Their arrest later
was both a shock and a source of EN-
barrassment to the Protection Hose
company.

grave the secret of the hiding

saved.A When the bank OF

He begun to save anew but re-
fused to have anything to do

He. later received portion of
his savings from the defunct

ditionaI savings, he showed to
his wife, telling her that he was
going to put it Where no one
could steal it, That was three
years ago. Recently his mind
became affected and he gave
{ varied versions of his disposal

AS death neared he attempted
to reveal the hiding place OF the
money to his wife, but only the
{ word "buried" could be distin-

II asked the robin as sprang
From branch to branch and
sweetly sang,
What made his breast so round
and red.
Twas looking at the SUM- he
said.
| saw the roses one by one,
Unfold their petals to the sun;
l asked them what made their
tints so bright.
They answered: "Looking to-
ward the light.
I asked the violets, sweet and
blue,
Sparkling with the morning
dew,
Whence came their color. Then,
SO shy,
They answered: Looking to-
ward the sky.
I asked the thrush whose sill
very note,
Came like a song from angels
throat,
What made him sing in the twi-
light dim.
He answered: Looking up to
Him."

One-Hand Clock Been
That Wav 376 Years

Castletown, Isle of Man.-A one
handed clock in the tower Of Rushden
castle has been that way for 376 years
and does not seem to notice it.
For some reason the castle, which
was once the ancient seat of kings
and has written references dating to
1867, never bothered to equip the
clock.
The clock is driven by rope wound
many times around wooden cylinder
with stone at the end of the rope.
The weight on the pendulum is an
other large stone.

That eminent authority Noah Web

honse." He's right again. But there
are housetops and housetops.
There's the roof that Is for shelter
alone-the drab roof that simply shuts
out rain and SNOW It's day is rapidly
going, but there are still many of this
species seen in most localities. Then
there's the roof that, because OF In
correctness OF architectural lines and
extreme Appropriateness or color
spoils the appearance OF the house
worse, in fact, th"n the drab, neutral
roof. And then there's the roof thar
affords maximum shelter and at the
same time is an important architec'
tural and decorative feature OF the
home--the ideal housetop.

During the summer months
when the schools are closed and
many persons are absent from the
city, there is a pause in the activ-
tiles of the John Heron Art Insti-
tue.
It is at this season that the
permanent collection is displayed to
greatest advantage. From Septem-
Der till June special collections,
gathered from various sources and
remaining for limited periods Of
time, are given first consideration in
the galleries.
Such exhibitions are heralded in
advance and are urgently called to
public attention during their con-
tinuance at the museum. They
crowd the permanent collection into
the background. But the objects
Of art permanently possessed by the
art association are not always rele-
gated to second place. This is the
time of year when they come into
their own.
Gathered bit by bit, year after
year through purchase and through
gift. they have become a store of
boarded riches and they represent
the discriminating taste of devoted
art lovers whose dream is to make
Of the museum a worthy temple
of the Muses., a splendid treasure

genius has produced.

But FIiers Change All

One would be more discouraged
over this prospect if it were not
obvious that aviation will soon put
stop to the naval building craze,
no matter what governments de-
decide.
The world has opened a new
chapter in its history, has acquired
an art which is bound to have a
tremendous effect on transporta-
ton, especially with regard to war
The last few weeks have wildly
Illustrated the possibilities of flying
A disposition to be skeptical with
regard to everything that promises
profound change still causes most
people to doubt the significance OF
what has actually occurred.
In spite of Lindbergh and Cham
berlin, in spite of the fact that a
big Army airplane is now wingine
it's way to Hawaii, in spite Of the
million miles that have been flown
in comparative safety by mail
carriers, many people are still con-
tent to scott at the idea of aviation
becoming a great factor in COM
merce and war.

Promote World Peace

Not only have both countries
written new chapter in national
politics, but they have demon
strated how their political systems
help international peace.
They are separated by the longest
and most important border in the
world without forts.
Speaking of international peace,
Ambassador Houghton seems to have
created quite q sensation by sug-
costing that the people be allowed
to vote on war.
The idea was advanced some ten
years ago, but at a time when the
country was in no mood to enter
tain it and when those sponsoring
it were likely to be looked upon with
disfavor.
Among others, Colonel Lindbergh's
father presented resolution to
Congress which provided not only
for plebiscite on war, but for the
machinery to hold it,.
In this respect he was no less a
pioneer than his distinguished son.
