Indian Villages Prepare Mourning
 Feasts For Four Members of Tribe

PaIhuska, Okla, Nov. z (UP)- The smoke of Indian funeral pyres curled upward into the haze man. ting the Osage hills today as two tribes mourned the loss of four prominent members this past moon.
 The Osages lamented the passing of Henry Red Eagle, known to them as Che -Sho- -Shin-Ka, teller of stories," who could look back from the eminence Of his 80 years to the days when he fought with his father against General Custer.
 Cook Funeral Fcasts
 Across the hills inksy county, the Poncas cooked huge kettles of food for the funeral feaSs celebrating the entCy into the happy hunting ground Of the spirits of Crazy Bear and Frank Smith. Other tribesmen ar ranged the prized possessions of White Deer, tribal counsellor, for the traditional give away" party.
 White Deer. who as a warrior fought the dreaded Sioux in Ne braska, and the other two Ponca sub chiefs died recently and the strange final rites of the red men were arranged to honor them jointly.

When Henry Red Eagle died last week at his Bransdall ranch. the grief of the OsaGcs was boundless for he was one of the best beloved and most honored patriarchs of the tribe.
 The Osages recalled how he loved to gather them about him and tell how he took the warpath with Ne Ko- -KunTsa. his father, when Gus ter was enbattled near where Okla homa City now stands. how he would be sent to the squaws for safekeep- ing if the fighting was too hot, as he was but a lad.
 Used Bow and Arrow
 He told Of shooting five deer with bow and arrow on the site of the oil village of Barnsdall. His stories linked the tribe with its legendary past and yet he was a proud and successful Indian of modern times. so his brothers respected his wis dom.
 Henry Red Eagle always wore the buckskins, feathers and beads of his fathers and painted his face for ceremonials. His only white friends were doctors.
 White mans medicine stronger than Indian's," he explained.

PROCESS SERVERS
 ARE SCARED AWAY
Three Thugs Defeat Effort to Attach Beer BarOn'S Castle

Chicago, Nov. 7.-{P)-A new eff fort to collect s30O.0O0 which it claims is due from Terry Druggan. former beer baron, for back income taxes and penalties, was defeated yesterday by three Of Druggan's s husky employees.
 The attempt to collect was made by Mrs. Myrtle Tanner Blackridgc, collector of internal revenue. and her chief deputy, Robert E. Neely. The collector went along personally, she explained, because of the inn portance of the Druggan case. The $500, ,000 claim is the largest her Of fics eyer has had against a gangstcr, she said.
 Mrs. Blackridge and Neely went to the Druggan county estate with liens against Druggans blooded herd Of Guernseys. They were stopped at the gates by three burly men who demanded to know their business. Neely showed his credentials and the liens.
 Are Ordered Away
 Nothing doing the men told the government representatives,. You can't come in here.'
 Nicely remonstrated, whereupon one of the men said:
 Get out. If you don't, it'll be un- healthy for you.'
 Mrs. Blackridge and Nicely re- turned to Chicago to decide upon their future course of action. /
 He cant buffalo the government like that" Nicely said, but he was not sure what the next step would be.
 During the day Nicely served liens on three Chicago properties reputed- 1y owned by Druggan and his former partner, Frankie Lake. who also is alleged to have been remiss in pay ing income taxes.

Mechanical Pilot Device Keeps
 Plane On Course During Tests; Aviators Enthusiastic In Praise

sary for its operation is derived from a wind driven generator
 The new Robot was given an cx- haustive test yesterday in a tri- motored Ford plane flying from Cleveland to this city. Once in the air the gyroscopes were put into operation and the manipulation of the plane was given no more atten- ton until, within 80 miles of Boiling field here, the propeller operating the generator failed, and Lieutenant Albert r. Hegenberger. remembered as the partner of Lieutenant Lester J. Maitland in their flight from Cali fornia to tho Hawaiian Islands took the controls for the remainder of the flight.
 Does Not Replace Pilot
 It was pointed out that the device is meant to control plane only in level straight flight. and that when turns or landings must be made the human pilot must replace the me- chanical one.
 The Robot is the invention of Elmer A. Sperry an eXperimenter in syroscoQic devices. Lieutenant Hegenberger is in charge of the present army experiments.

RAISING THE RATES
WITH BUSES

Small wonder that the Connecti-
cut company 10 now afflicted with
the bus fever-either in favor of it.
self or the New England Transpor-
tation Co.. the New Haven motor
coach subsidiary. The wise men
down in New Haven have discovered
that trolley fares are not likely to
90 higher than they are, and when
a jerkwater line isn't paying and the
time has come to lay down good
money in improving the roadbsd,
etc. it is better to change to buses.
Or. as has happened. let the New
England transportation Co. run the
buses. That always results in high
er rates for the public.
The principle was placed into op-
GRAFTON right in this city. For in.
stance. II only costs two tokens to
ride to Hartford on the trolley line,
Tor 1s 2-5 cents). II costs 20 cents
to negotiate the distance on the
railroad. But on the yellow kid bus
es it costs three tokens, or IS cents.
OF course, the buses travel a differ
ent route. giving service to other
wise untouched sections: but that
doesn't do the bus travellers between
tho two towns any good. They pay
the extra fare.

Haven railroad. through its subsid-
iaries, effectively holds competition

THE THREE VIEWPOINTS

Let no one claim that the cduca-
tionai value Of the newspapers u not
what 1t ought to be. About . week
ago Henry Ferd said saving is not
necessary and the interview went on
to give his reasons why. Then the
journals quoted the reasons why
saving IL necessary. from the wis
dom Of Adolph Lewisohn. BY the
time both these views had time to
sink In along comes. Mrs. Alice
Foote MacDougall. leading business
woman of America. and says both
men are wrong, at the same time
telling the reasons why.
The subject now has been thor
oughlr discussed from three angles.
The public must be the wiser for the
discussion. Yet, truth TO tell, 1t Is
probably that scarcely anyone will
change his habits on account Of
what these men and woman say.
The foolish will remain foolish and
the wise stay otherwise.
