A Correction as to New
Work on KiOwa Indians
To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor of The Star:
The Evening Star of this city is my
family paper, largely because the con-
tents are SO generally exact. But I
was disturbed to read in the issue for
February Is. 1929, an article entitled,
Life of Nomadic Indians Told in
Smithsonian Book" The book referred
to is "a vocabulary of the Kiowa Ian
guage" and is not volume of history.
So 1t was ridiculous to state that the
STORY of great nomadic nation which
roamed the North American continent
before the coming of the white man" is
interviewer" In such vocabulary"
1t would be no more absurd to claim
that the history of the United States
lis interviewer" in Websters Unabridged
Dictionary. This book, edited by John
p. Harrington of the chronological de-
partment," Smithsonian Institution, Is
only vocabulary.
There was in your article another
false credit, related to and interviewer"
with the one just mentioned, namely,
that from Canada, Harrington has
traced the Kiowa to Montana, where
they were living 100 years ago, at the
time of the Lewis-Clark Expedition.
Into the Black Hills of South Dakota
they roved from Montana, thence into
the Platte River Valley and on farther
South, extending their food and plumber
raids into the very heart of Mexico"
protest the claim credited in this last
quotation to Mr.. Harrington, since the
now well known migrations of the
Kiowa Indians into the Great Plains
regions and their various raids into
Mexico and also their peculiar alliance
with band Of Apache Indians were
first fully treated by my late husband
MI. James Mooney, in a carefully pre-
pared paper in the Seventeenth Annual
Report of the Bureau of American
Ethnology, part I, pages 129-445, pub
llShed In 1898, more than 80 years ago,
and which was later Incorporated in
brief In two articles, the "Kiowa" and
the "Kiowa Apache" published in
volume I, bulletin 80, of the Bureau of
American Ethnology, issued in 1908, 20
years ago.
Mr.. MONEYS first paper mentioned
above Is entitled, Calendar History of
the Kiowa Indians" 1t was printed
with carefully prepared map showing
an the migratory movements of the
kiowa Indians. to which Mr.. Mooney
ADDED vocabularieS- English and
EngliSh-Kiowa (pages 391-439).
because this original work has been
the standard reference for later investi-
gators I cannot refrain from feeling
deeply that it is unfair that the labor
OF a pioneer worker of the Bureau of
Etnnology should be ascribed now to
Mr.. Harrington. I ask that these cor
receive remarks be given publicity equal

Justice to an investigator who for years

What of the Bear?

From the Oakland Tribune.
Is the old cutter Bear to 60 under
the hammer and end her days on the
junkpile?
Those who know her story are speak
ing up while there is yet time, speak
ing for sentiment and justice. and for
the values to accrue to the municipality
or other unit which would rescue her
and keep her intact.
The Bear is the most romantic and
useful adventurer ever to leave this
port Its sturdy prov has pushed
through the ice to the North, where
its flag has stood for law, health, mercy,
food, mail and friendship. Up there
the Bear is written in tradition. Men
reckoned the coming of Spring by her
appearance and knew the Winter was
near when she departed. Stefanson,
exploring the Arctic, saw the Bear; re-
mote villages, for months away from the
news Of world, learned from the Bear
Of what was going on.
The little ship out Of Oakland has
carried medicine to the Ill, food to the
starving, and law to the lawlesS. 1t has
rescued the shipwrecked, policed the
sealing fields and performed a hundred
and one services in the name Of the
Government and humanity. That serv-
ice continues, but the Bear Is replaced.
Her beams are still sound, and every
one Is loved by the men who have gone
North on her expeditions and by those
Who annually looked for her appearance.

Chicago Chronology.

A proposal Is seriously made in Chi
cago that the time prevailing in that
city be changed to conform to Eastern
standard time so that Chicago and
New York can transact business en- an
identical schedule. 1t appears, however
that on consideration many Chicagoans
are opposed to such scheme and at
latest accounts the opposition was in
the majority. The objection is raised
that if this time shift were made-as-
Stunning that it could be done, which is
not asSured-Chicago would be forced
to set its clocks forward two hours in
stead of one when New York daylight
saving time goes into effect. It is GER
tain that this would cause decided pro-
test from working people, who would
have to arise two hours ahead of the
sun. Furthermore, other cities in the
central time zone, such as Omaha,
Minneapolis, Kansas City and st. Louis,
demur to the suggestion, inasmuch as
they feel that they should be in unison
with Chicago, and If they were to adopt
the new schedule they would then be
unduly out Of relation to cities further
west.
This is just another one of many
schemes that have been conceived to
try to overcome the rotundity and ro-
tation OF the earth. Daylight saving
is one of these schemes and it has had
vogue in some parts of this country.
But that Is only a seasonal shift. The
suggestion Of annexing Chicago to the
Eastern standard time zone raises the
question whether it might not be feast
BILE to strike a mean between the two
coasts OF the United States and adopt
single time zone for the entire area.
AS 1t is there are four different stand
ards OF time-Eastern, Central, Noun
tain and Pacific. Their boundaries are
somewhat erratic but are well estab-
lished and but for the confusion of
daylight saving they effect a workable
system. The only real difficulty about
time adjustment comes on these border
lines, where cities and areas have some
confusion of chronology.

Gen. Summerall has been soldier OF
peace. Stationed at various posts in
the United States, he has specialized in
bringing the Army closer to the people
and the people closer to the Army. In
the blue ribbon command at Governors
Island, in 1925 and 1926, Gen. Summer
all was particularly active in maintain
ing a liaison between the civilian and
military elements throughout the I'd
Corps Area, of which New York City is
headquarters.
He is an uncompromising believer in
the doctrine Of peace by preparedness.
He has been an outspoken advocate of
better living conditions for enlisted
men. As an organizer and executive
the chief of staff is both rolled into

practical reforms in every branch of the
