An authentic REPRODUCTION of an
Indian village, such as once flourished
in the vicinity, has been completed by
local boys at Camp Let's, Y. M. G. A,
Summer haven for Washington boys on
the Rhode River, near Annapolis.
Hidden in a clearing surrounded by
dense forest and underbrush, the village
consists of a dozen full size WigWams
built in circle about a council fire
site Each wigwam is the headquarters
of a different "tribe," into which the
hundred-odd campers have divided
themselves.
Totem poles, carved and painted by
the boys in actual Indian sign language,
have been erected beside each tepee.
Appropriate signs and pictures decorate
the wigWams. According to Hall Hopper,
staff counselor in charge of the RedSkin
activities, the youthful campers have
mastered much of the Indian sign
language and make use of their knowl
edge during weekly eeremonials.

Gov. Dan Moody on his cowboy hat. He
has since added the signatures of the
Governors of Arkansas, Tennessee, Ken

his travels. so he had to start out With
a fresh one this Summer. For Presi-

reached Washington yesterday after
noon from Richmond. He admits It's
too hot to walk all the time in the
midst of a reeord-breaking heat wave
when the chance of a ride offers itself.
Burned and withered from the
drought as the rich valley OF Virginia
is, Hickey declared the people In TINS

had hardly been inflicted upon Texas
when he left that State, he said.
From Washington, after week OF
sightseeing, the 24-year -old hitch-hiker
will fare forth to Annapolis to meet
Gov. Ritchie of Maryland. Thence he
will go through Delaware to New York
and penetrate the New England States

Hickey did bit of cattle herding on
Texas ranches before he entered the
State university. He Is short, wiry and
sun tanned.
In addition to acquiring fame IN
Texas as a hitch-hiker, he is also the
champion bantamweight boxer of the

for hiking during the Summers would
have tried out for the Olympic boxing

party leader, tonight was ordered held
for deportation by the Department of
Labor, which earlier in the day had
issued q permit for him TO enter the
United States under bond for six
months.

an irregular passport, has been de-
tanned at Ellis Island since he arrived
here on a lecture tour two weeks ago.
A special immigration Board of Inquiry
refused to admit him, but this decision
was reversed in the first order received
from the Department of Labor today.
Two hours later the second order di-
recting his deportation, was received.
Immigration officials said Kosutich
would be returned to Europe as soon rs
he is released from the hospital, where
he has been confined the last few days.
Kosutich charges the move TO bar
him from the United States was plot
of his political enemies in Jugoslavia.
The Jugoslavian consul general here
opposed his entry.

Not content with building the village
the boys now have gone in for pottery
making and bead work. Using only the
crude tools of Indian times, the pale
face savages have turned out an attrac-

and bowls of river clay. The clay is
carefully nodded by hand, baked in a
homemade kiln and then painted,
finished with glazing liquid and given
a final baking The finished products
are on display in an exhibition tent.
The bead work is done on moccasins,
belts and feathered head dresses.

night and weird tribal rites staged in
the wooded rendezvous. Newcomers to
camp, or tenderfoots as they are called
are initiated into the mysteries of the
tribes during these ceremonies. The

regalia, to the beating of tom toms and
the war whoops of the participants.

outbreak of the Civil War.
Before this he had worked as a clerk
in the State Banking Department. His
pay there was only $500 year, but he
managed to save 500 of his first year S
salary. His father was IN Washington
as secretary to William H. Seward and
young Baker returned to the Banking
Department when Gov. Morgan retired
from Office.
He was known as the best informed
clerk there. His knowledge soon gave
him an opportunity to enter the banking
business for himself. He became inter-
ested in the plan Of Secretary of the
Treasury Chase to sell bonds through
banks and to form banks which could
pledge bonds themselves for the circu-
lation of currency up to 80 per cent

banker all the stock he wanted and

Uncle John could sit on his porch
and take it easy while the other farm
ers were hard at work. He lived well
and enjoyed himself. His nephew Won
dered how a man could have all the
necessities of life, and some of the lux
uries, without having to work. Being
of an inquiring mind he asked for the
answer to such a puzzle. He was told
that his uncle had an income from his
savings and was able to live on the
interest on his money.
That was how George r. Baker got
his first lesson in thrift and in the
value of saving and investing. He was
visiting his grandparents in Dedham,
Mass, where he spent much of his va
cations as a boy, when he learned the
lesson that was to help make him one

able him to an1ass tremendous for

He became a reporter under Horace
Greeley on the New York Tribune. He
specialized in politics. He became a

George went to school in Williamsburg,
but spent much time with his grand
parents IN Massachusetts,. The coun-
try air agreed with him. He thrived
on it and became sturdy and robust
youngster.
Learns Lesson In Finance.
It was at Dedham that he laid the
foundation for the strong constitution
that has enabled him to be active for
so many years There also, through
the example OF his uncle, he learned
the lesson In finance that helped him
in laying the foundation for his great
fortune. He earned his first money
