Indians Fooled Whites
With Imitation Shin
BY E. f. FREE. PHI. n.

How a tribe of clever Indians in
British Columbia once astonished Euro
pean visitors by constructing what was
perhaps the most remarkable imitation
steamship ever built was described re-
Gently by F. A. Pauline, agent general
Of British Columbia in London, in an
address at the Imperial Institute in
that city
In 1886 Mr. Pauline said, what is
believed to have been the first steam
ship ever used on the Pacific Ocean,
the ThameS-built Beaver, rounded Cape
Horn rugged as sailing ship, was re-
fitted at Vancouver with paddle wheels
and entered long and we'll remem-
bered career as trading steamer for
the Hudson Bay Co. On one of her
trading trips up and down the coast
the Beaver put in at group of Indian
terest among the natives.
On returning some months later to
these same villages, the captain and
crew of the Beaver were aStonished to
see approaching them over the water
what seemed to be small but per-
feet copy of their own ship. Paddle
wheels beat the water, steerSman
stood at the wheel, even a thick cloud
of wood smoke rolled out Of minia-
ture smokestack What had happened,
Mr.. Pauline explained. was that the
village indians. not to be outdone by
and white mans continuance. had copied
the Beaver in every possibls detail. even
to the smoke produced by burning leaves
at the bottom of a bark tube like a
sinokestack Indian power. however,
drove the miniature paddle wheels in
stead OF steam power.

White Clothing More
Visible to Car Driver
M the Des Moines Tribune Capital

From the Des Moines Tribune-Capital.
The General Electric Co.. which may
be suspected of having little interest
in the matter, but which Is perfectly
frank about that part of it, has con-
Quoted a series OF tests to find out what
chance a pedestrian has of being seen
by the driver of an approaching au-
tomobile in an unlighted street and also
in a lighted she.
On an unlighted street pedestrian
dressed in dark clothes was barely Wis
ible 100 feet from camera and automo-
bile, the autos headlights being high.
On an unlighted street a man dressed
in gray clothes was partly visible under
the same conditions as above
On an. adequately lighted" street the
pedestrian. of course was much more
visible regardless of the color of his
clothes.
But in any Of the tests clothes ap-
preaching white greatly increased Wis
Utility. On one test a man in all white
with white handkerchief In his hand
was satisfactorily visible at 100 feet
without street lighting.
So the lesson Is either to light streets
adequately or to put men in white
suits.
Or perhaps it is to stay off unlighted
streets, or to keep sharp eye out for
approaching autos when on such a
street.

IJnredeemed War Loans
Benefit Uncle Sam
from the Boston Evening Transcript.

From the Boston Evening Transcript.
When the Liberty bonds were being
marketed and quickly snapped up, for
patriotic and other reasons, 1t was said
of the enormous distribution Of these
securities, reaching as it did into the
hlnibleSt homes. that it would provide
a liberal education for the people:
would teach them the convenience and
safety Of investment in Government Sc
curities, and generally would famillarIze
them with financial transactions IN
which they never had participated be-
fore. IL would train them also, 1T was
asserted, to look after their money and
to keep an eye on their investments.
This was a good doctrine, and we
would not controvert 1t. Nevertheless,
we are moved to a word of comment
over the announcement from Washing
ton that, notwithstanding all the Lib
erty loans and Victory notes have ma
tured and no longer draw interest,
some $40, 000, 900 worth of them remain
outstanding. In other words. this Is so
much money loaned to the Government
without interest: a most altruistic pro-
ceeding, II handed over to Uncle Sam
to help him prosecute war. but not
exactly businesslike as matter of PEI
sonal financing. OF course, death and
many ohter factors have contributed to
this condition Of seeming national care
lessness; but we imagine that scores Of
our citizens, not the least intelligent Of
them either, might dip into their safe
deposit vaults, and their desks and bu-
reau drawers, and find great many
hundreds. If not thousands of dollars
tucked away in wartime paper, on
which they have only to ask for the
cash to get 1t.

And World Welfare
To the Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor CT The Star:
In considering certain assertions
made by DR.. Scllacht and DR.. Voegler
at the experts conference in Paris, it
is merely fair to state that, a year
ago, when 1 was in Berlin, 1 was in
formed that Germany had only been
able to pay her PREPARATIONS with the
a:--.stance of money borrowed abroad,
an eXpcdient which must inevitably
lead to national bankruptcy.
1t was further implied by my in
formant that. in her despair, Germany
might be driven into an alliance with
Soviet Russian alliance which all
law-abiding Germans would deplore,
and which would be disastrous to both
Germany and her allied adversaries.
and quite possibly fatal to the British
Empire.
The menace Of this world wide
calamity should make us all doubly
anxious for satisfactory settlement
of the PREPARATIONS question.

posing buildings on "Unter den Lin

baSsy-a former palace dating from

Friendship of Shaw

From the Atlanta Journal.
If we may accept unqualified the OBJ

spondents, nothing but Providence can
hereafter separate George Bernard
Shaw and Gene Tunney. Their init

markable. OF course. the meeting has
been talked of for months and many
have found time to wonder rather idly
what Shaw and Tunney would think Of
each other, what they would talk about
and what the news writer's would be
able to make of it.
But no one expected such immediate
and apparently profound friendship. We
feel now as if We should avert our eyes,
rather than stare too curiously at this
queer spiritual union between an aged
dramatiSt and a young Olympian hero.

Now it has selected as its chieftain

hard fighter who knows district politics.
1t has not listened to Senator Wagner

But If It was new 1t was only outward

the new ways. 1t longed for the old

became amply apparent that voice Of
magnificent proves had come to us
from across the sea Nine. Lehmann's
singing of Brunnhilde in Die Walkure"
on that occasion established fame
which was to soar to dazzling heights
