WATERWAYS ARE NEW
 HIGHWAYS OF HAPPINESS

It was Johnson who first gave to a watermotoring public dependable outboard performance.
 Before Johnson, all outboard mo- tors were cumbersome affairs, weigh ing so pounds and more. Without carburetors and without adequate ig- milton, starting was uncertain. They were low-powered, they were slow and very difficult to maneuver and operate, and undependable for eff cient water transportation.
 The Johnson Light Twin of 1922, weighing 37 pounds, was a tremen- dous advance in outboard engineer ing. It blazed the trail to better motor designs-a trail which all out board makers subsequently, picked up and are now attempting to follow. In a Johnson you will find the one motor which has influenced and con- tinues to influence the entire field of outboard design and performance.
 Further evidence that Johnson con- tinues year after year to set the pace for dependable outboard performance is to be found in the fact that over 50 per cent of all outboard motor purchasers prefer Johnsons.
 No matter what motor you buy, you will find that the important inn provements which modernize it are embodiments of Johnson features. That is what Johnson leadership means to you-expressed in terms of first, dependable performance, and second, advanced refnements.
 Johnson Motors performed superb ly for Commander R. E. Byrd, who used them in connection with his memorable flight over the North Pole.
 Johnson Motors won praise from Commander Donald B. MacMillan for their constant efficiency on his last two expeditions through the frozen Arctic into the Polar zone when he was encountering great difficulties.
 Such is the unrivaled performance you secure when you buy Johnson. It is a kind of outboard performance that was unknown six years ago-a kind that can be found today only in this motor. With Johnson you know that your motor will give you abundant power under the most try

the Senate, he pointed out that, while the volume of mineral output had in- creased 40 per cent since 1919, Fed eral funds for geologic work had been reduced The 1919 appropriations amounted to less than one one-hun- dredth of one per cent of the value of the years production.
 "It IS the ever mounting curve of mineral production" said Dr. Smith, that l interpret as peculiarly ex- pressive of increments in civilization. The contrast between mining and agriculture is significant in two re- spects. kn the vrst place, with refer ence to demand, one generation re- quires about as much food per capita as another, but it's requirements in the stuff that civilization feeds on metals, fuels and building materials change with every discovery and in- vention- In the second place, with reference to supply, mining is pro- cess of depletion, whereas agriculture harvests annual crops.
 "There are two and only two ways of adding to the country's available mineral assets-by getting a larger recovery from known deposits and by finding new deposits. To keep up the pace already set by the demands of civilization today--not to mention the demands of tomorrow-we oneed apply to our task more and better technology and more and better ge- ology."

UNITED STATES ONCE HELD
 MILLION INDIANS, SAY ETH
 BIOLOGISTS, TRACING DECLINE

WASHINGTON.-The white mans diseases, his unfamiliar forms of dis sipation and his firearms were the principal causes of the decline of the nent north of Mexico.
 This is the burden of the first com prehensive scientific study of the ab- original population of America, un- dertaken almost a quarter of a cen tury ago by the late James Mooney for the Bureau of American Ethnol- ogy and just published by the Smith sonian Institute, as compiled from his manuscripts, notes and tables by James R. Swanson, of the Bureau.
 From an estimated population of 1,153,000 before the white man came, MT. Mooney's tables disclose, the ab- origines had dwindled by 1907 to 100000. Many tribes had passed out existence, others had dropped off to a handful of survivors, and still others had been absorbed by more powerful tribes and considerations. Relatively few showed numerical increase, and in almost every instance that was at tributed to the intermixture of white or negro blood and the absorption of smaller or inadequatelf armed neigh bors.
 Slave raids, intertribal wars, hope less resistance against the newcomers, confinement in missions, the white mans progress, added to the ravages of his vices and diseases, of which smallpox was the most destructive, in the process of bringing down the red man, MT. Mooney found. Discussing the fate of the numerous tribes in the Gulf States region, he told how, in the period between 1890 and 1720, which embraced great smallpox cpl demic, slave raids organized by the English of Carolina were very de structive of Indian life, the Chicka- saws and Creeks, armed with guns furnished for the purpose, being the principal agents in the destruction"
 In California he found the causes of decrease to include widely preva- lent infanticide among the Mission Indians from 1769 to 1884 and whole sale massacres, clearances, and rob berries of food stores by American miners and settlers from 1849 to the clos eof the Modoc war in 1873, to- gether with the general demoraliza- tion consequent upon association of the two races.'
 Within 20 years after the Russians settled in Alaska the Aleuts had been reduced at least one-half, he esctimated, and the number continued to decline until the Russian govern ment interfered for their protection, shortly before 1900.
