Mrs. Walcott
Returns to
CAPITAL
Washington Woman
Is Member Of U. S. Board Of
Indian Commissioners

Is Member of U. S. Board of
Indian Commissioners
Home after q 9,00O-mile
motor trip through the
Northwest, Mrs. Charles D.
Walcott is planning to make
q report on her findings at
the meeting early next week
Of. the United States Board
Of Indian Commissioner Of
which she il q member.
Hrs. Walcott has served
on the board for three years
but this, she feels, will be
the first year in which she
Is qualified to report intelli-
gently on her trip. She was
named by President Coolidge
in 1927 and, with Mrs. Flora
Seymour, has the distinction
Of being one Of the two
women on the board, which,
by the way, was organized
by President Grant in an
effort to secure the expert
assistance Of disinterested
persons in the solving Of
Indian problems. The board
members serve without pay.
Knows Indians
Mrs. Walcott is particularly
qualified for the position she
now holds. She knows the In
dian. Speaks their language
and understands heirproblems
as few persons, men or women,
are qualified to do. With her
late husband, DR.. Charles d.
Walcott, executive head Of the
Smithsonian Institution, she
spent many summers travelling
on the Indian reservations in
search Of scientific information.
Their house on Twenty-Second
Street, which Mrs. Walcott stu
occupies, is crammed with rare
Indian relics and art treasures
of the original Americans.
On their many trips Mrs.
colt was accustomed to make
sketches Of wild flowers, q col
lection that is the foundation
Of her book, North American
Wild Flowers.
No Flowers
This year, however, she was
unable owing to the drought to
make any additions to her col
1ections. She reports that the
plant life through the greater
portion of the section in which
she motored was so dried and
parched through lack Of mois-
ture that few flowers were
blooming. CuriouSly enough the
usually arid regions of the
Northwest had enjoyed an ex-
traordinary amount of rain. It
was the fertile meadows and
fields of the East that suffered
most.
Mrs. Walcott spent the
greater part of her vacation,
she left Washington in July,
In the Canadian Rockies at
the Yoho Valley Camp near
Field, B. c. Afterwards she
attended the famous Scotch
festival at Banff. On her re-
turn trip she visited seven In
dian reservations and the In
dian Asylum for the Insane.
She reports that the reserva.
tions have suffered severely
from the drought.
The board Of Indian commits
Sioners will meet here Tuesday
and Wednesday of next week
