New Mexico and UtsAae Mr. Deschner addressed the Lioar club at the noon lunch- |, con todd.
 He saM there is no doubt but that the Indss1 has been mistreated. quoting ' ste4ement: 'The Pilgrims first landed on their knees and then they lanASd on the aborisines."
 He said the Indians were friendly toward the first white settlers and 1t was because of the friendliness of the Indians that many of the early Pilgrims lived through the first winter.
 But after that interruptions whites took every advantage of the Indians and drove them farther and farther back until they finally were forced on reservations. Mir. Deschner relat- cd.
 There now are 161 Indian reserva- tions and about s50.000 Indians in the United States. Contrary to gen. eral impressions. the speaker stated, the Indian population in America is on the increase. The Navajo tribes which totalled only 5000 when they first went onto the reservation now number about 35,O00.
 The speaker went into detail, tell ing many interesting things about their method of living. school life. health and sanitation. industry and agriculture among the Navajoes. These Indians are entirely self sup porting. hs explained. They raise xoats and sheep for meat and take their wool and hides for the weav- ing of Navajo blankets.
 Among the guests was a group of players on the Hartford baseball team. This group included Jack Roser. the well known home run hitter; shep Cannon. pitcher: Wall tor Brown, pitcher; B. Herr, catcher and w. J. Guhman, fielder.

 Call Money Per Cent
 Call money renewed at per cent as against an opening rate of 6 yes terday, and held steady at that rate throughout the greater part of the session. There was no change in time money rates. While Wall street expects . Hurry in the call rate around the 18th of the month. the advance is not likely to be as violsnt as the money squeeze" in March.

 Aviation StOck Up
 Bendix Aviation, . newcomer to the Big Board" was bid up 1 points to . new high record at a 3-s. Sharp recoveries also took place in such recent weak spots as Radio Wright Aerona utical, Electric Auto Lite, Columbia Graphophone, Air Reduction. Crosley Radio and the advance Rumely issues.
 Oils continued to attract a large following on the theory that recent gasoline and crude oil price advancea would be reflected in higher second quarter earnings. Simms Petroleum which. 1t is estimated, will add more than 31.60 a share to annual income if the current prices are maintain- cd, in addition to an appreciation in inventories. was bought in large vol ume, crossing 3s to a new high rec. ord.
