Straight Talks to Women About Money
BY MARY ELIZABETH ALLEN.

Other fixed expenses are laundry,
which may be done at home; test books.
which may often be purchased second
hand; clothes pressing, barber work,
supplies. and various college fees. Rail-
road fare is an item If your son comes
home at holiday times, and, Of course,
there is the expense of an athletic as
ISOLATION book admitting one to games,
and fraternity or society dues.
It may be said offhand that so far as
necessary expenses are concerned, room,
board, clothing and tuition will account
for almost two-thirds of your sons
college costs.
The other expenses will depend on
the standard Of living to which your son
is accustomed 1t is also true that life
at some universities and colleges is
more expensive than at others due to
higher rents. higher food prices, and
greater tuition charges.

CUSTOMS MEN BECOME CRITICS
AND PASS ON WORKS OF ART

1t isn't all gravy for q customs in
spect0r. Among their various duties
IS that Of art critic. 1t involves the
question Of assessing duties on legiti-
mate imports and barring Illegal i'm
ports.
Recently at the federal building In
Great Falls customs men were sitting
around discussing in a philosophical
manner a group of pictures from
France.
A group Of pictures from France is
in itself provocative Of %philosophic dis
cuSSionS. AS customs men employed
by the United States government they
must differentiate between paintings
meant primarily for arts sake" and
paintings meant otherwise. In other
words, when Is a painting not a paint
ing when 1t comes from France?
There was no miStaking the type Of
pictures they had received. No matter
how the pictures were hung on the
wall they could not be taken for up
side down Fossil Hunters" or dithy-
rambic prisms suggesting the love life
of a queen bee. Yet the artists in
tent had to be considered by the Gus
toms men, and If it was decided that
the artist really had his mind on his
business, the pictures went through.
Now take this reproduction" said
Colonel G. L. Sheridan, showing a
group of men with their hands over
their eyes running away from what

stick shaped for that purpose was used
for stomach troubles. Some OF these
treatments were based on tribal lore
but more frequently perhaps it was
devised by some practitioner who had
a vision in which he saw the different
ingredients TO be used. Some of the
ingredients might be of the most use
less or repulsive nature. The proof of
the value of the dose vas in the pa
tents recovery.
One of the commonest forms of
treatment was to blow or suck, often
through a plpeStem on the diseased
part. Sucking was supposed to draw
out the malign influence which was
causing the disease. The practitioner
would often spit out various substances
from stones TO insects which he de-
clared had come from the affected
part. Spraying various parts OF the
body with paint is another of the gro
tesque methods employed by Indian
doctors.
Treating the Wounded
In the days OF warfare, wound doc
tors who had effected wonderful cures
of half-dead warriors won special ac-
claim and power. The practice of these
doctors was usually quite closely linked
up with ritualistic performances in
which the medicine" or spiritual pow
ers derived from certain animals played
a prominent part.
The buffalo was considered especially
powerful in this connection and the
doctor usually took with him the paint
ed skull or other part of a buffalo I'M
less the form of some other animal was
his particular medicine" The wound
doctor proceeded with various mcanta-
lions and elaborate ceremony to paint
the patient, blow OF suck or the
wound, and to perform other mummery.
These were supposed to follow the
treatment which he had seen the ami
mails of his medicine" practice among
themselves in his vision.
In treating the sick, the Indian doc
tor made great use Of drumming and
singing. The medicine drums were
painted with some symbol to represent
some healing principle. AS he went
about his complicated ceremonies, a
monotonous drumming was kept up,
either by the doctor or a helper. At
Che same time, he sang songs of prayer
and entreaty to the sun or other heal
agency for power to cure the disease
heal the wound. !
Ghosts Were Blamed
Indians were very susceptible to
impressions and the faith of
the doctor in his own methods inspired

SAFETY FIRST"
HELPS RAILROADS
NOT A PASSENGER KILLED ON
ANY RAILWAY OPERATING IN
STATE DURING FISCAL YEAR
No Abnormal Increase in Number of
Killed and Injured During past Year;
Grade Crossings Blamed For Many
Deaths in Country.

The Montana railroads made an
outstanding record in n respect
during the fiscal year that ended
September 30, 1929, according to a
table Of statistics prepared by the
Montana state railroad commission.
They did not kill a single passenger.
Moreover, while traffic has increased
on the three principal roads, the Mil
waukee, Great Northern and Northern
Pacific, the number of people of all
kinds killed and injured on them
showed no abnormal increase this year
over last.
Killed and injured by the three roads
for the two years we're as follows:
Milwaukee, 1929, killed, 10; hurt, AZ;
1928, killed, 8; hurt, 30. Great North
ern, 1929, killed, 16; hurt, 1877; 1923,
killed, Is; hurt, 126. Northern Pacific,
1929, killed, Is; hurt, 1872; 1928, killed,
81; hurt, 1872.
The following statistics cover all OF
the killed and injured, of every class
by all the railroads in the state in 1929:
Grade crossings, killed, IA; hurt, 81;
passengers killed, none; hurt, 35; per-
sons carried under contracts, employees
of different services, killed, 10; hurt
349; trespassers, killed, 20; hurt, n;
others not t~respassers, killed, /; hurt, 3
For 1928 these statistics are as fol-
lows: Grade crossings, killed, 10; hurt
40; passengers, killed, 2; hurt, 81; car
ried under contracts, killed, /; hurt, 8;
employees, killed, Is; hurt, 305; tres

and 1888. The steamer st. Peter, or,
according to some accounts the steam
er Assinniboine. brought the plague in
to the country. 1t broke out on the
boat on its upward journey about when
it was passing Fort Pierre but the
steamer continued on to Fort Union.
Stolen Blanket Spread Disease
According to one story, an Indian
from one of the Mandan villages stole
the blanket Of one Of the sufferers
from the disease and from it the con-
tagion spread from village to village
and from tribe to tribe.
Among the Mandans, the disease
spread with such fury that only a
handful was left.
Further up the Missouri river, the
Gros Ventres and Arickarees lost half
their numbers. The great tribe of the
A~ssinnibOines which had numbered
nine thousand were left with only a
small remnant of its original numbers.
The Grows and Blackfeet, who came
to Fort Union to trade, hurried away
for their mountain Businesses. but the

by the hundreds in their camps and

SMALLPOX PLAYED HAVOC AMONG WESTERN 1MDIAM TRIBES
THOUSANDS OF REDMEM DIED FROM WHITE MEMS DISEASES

a like confidence in his patient. That
many seemingly remarkable cures were
thus effected through mental SUCCESS
ton is the testimony of white men who
lived among the Indians, many OF
whom themselves came to believe that
the Indians methods were as effica-
cious as any other.
Mysterious ailments. which struck 2
man down in the midst of health, we're
usually blamed TO the evil influence OF
some ghost. The plains Indians did
not have that fear of the evil power
OF witches or of the casting of spells
which was possessed by many primitive
people and is found among uncultured
groups OF white people even today. They
did, however, have a very lively appre-
henSlon of the power and usually evil
intentions of ghosts and disembodied
spirits and they blamed them for many
OF the ills which befell them.
II the Indian had great faith in the
healing suggestions of his doctor, on
the other hand, any unlucky circum-
stance in the course of treatment
brought a contrary effect. The doctor
usually had a number of tabOos in
connection with his cure. to break
which would spell disaster. The en-
trance of a dog into the tent or the
presence Of certain persons might spoil
the medicine" The doctor, it is safe
to say, usually had a good alibi in case
his patient died.
Death Warnings
The ghost of some enemy or even
OF some members of his own family was
often thought to bring the death warm
ing to a sick man. He Immediately
began to prepare for death and little
more could be done for his benefit when
he became convinced through some
dream or vision that his time had
come. 1t was another superstition that
death would come shortly to the first
person to go through an opening
through which a dead body had been
carried.
Today on the Crow reservation can
be seen houses with the windows
boarded up, because of this belief. A
corpse had been taken out through the
window and then boards placed over
the opening to prevent the ghost from
returning to bring trouble to the in
mates.
Liberal fees were paid to the Indian
as this va believed to please
the divinities from which the doctor
obtained his Dowers. Gifts of horses,
blankets and other goods were made
by the man upon his recovery. On
the other hand, If he failed to make
a satisfactory donation, he could ex-
pect more i'll health in proportion to
his lack OF generosity.
The faith of the Indians in their
own doctors and their medicines"
makes them quite tractable patients in
the hands of white physicians. once
they become convinced that the white
mans medicine" is more powerful
than their own. 1t is much easier 70
get them to submit to treatment for
their ailments than it is to get them
to follow health habits by which they
will avoid these ills. Perhaps in this
they are not greatly different from
most of their white brothers.

from G cloud. "The woman coming
out of the cloud might be ar angel"
The customs men gathered around
the picture and looked. After a brief
study they decided the woman was no
angel.
A photograph of a French flag
draped around the form of q French
mademOiSelle wa taken into consider
alton and it was decided that although
the artist was undoubtedly inspired
with patriotic fervor, patriotism was
not quite enough.
1t was only q very small flag.
Other pictures and paintings
aroused only a shake Of the head from
the customs men and they we're dropped
artistically into a waste paper basket.
They were distinctly not "for arts
sake" and not even the most radical
or modernistic of the customs men re-
sented the rude disposal of the French
portraits or what not.
Colonel Sheridan said that each day
packages arrived from France and
other countries that caused customs
men to be unusually stern with art.
Yet, he said, the men realize the i'm
portance Of their decision and give the
picture every possible break.
The unfortunate people who were to
receive the racy pictures will get a
gentle surprise, when upon %unwrapping
the packages they will find pictures Of
Biblical scenes, closeups of the French
flag, closeups of the French franc (be-
fore its falD, a side view of the Tuil~
leries showing doves, and a little note
from the customs inspector informing
the receiver that it was his duty to
remove certain of the pictures for the
purpose of art and the government.
