Spiritualist Leader
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle during
the latter part Of his life presented
an heroic and at the same time
som what tragic figure. For the
past fey years he has devoted vir-
tually all his time to the prdpaga-
ton OF spiritualiSm. and was &c
ognized MS one OF the great leaders
OF the world In this belief. Because
Of his association with this crusade
which he himself characterized as
an unpopular one, he gradually lost
some Of his old time literary friends
who saw no virtue in SpiritualiSm
and who were inclined 10 look upon
him as eccentric.
IL Is not SO many years ago that
this broad-Shouldered Viking with
his handsome head and shock OF
iron gray hair was the idol OF the
London drawing rooms. AS creator
of Sherlock Holmes and other great
works he was an outstanding figure
In the realm OF literature. and the
world paid him homage.

Sir Arthur was grieved because

his pursuit Of the aus in which he
believed. He even opened a ~psy-

he created q center for spiritualis-

Almost daily his huge bulk could
be seen looking over his desk in his

Powder Lacquers Your Car

Few people know that the lacquer
which CLEANS on the bodies of thou
sands of automobiles today may have
once been on the point of hurtling a
shell many miles into space or blow
ing up trench, says Popular Sci
ence Monthly.
The conversion of millions of
pounds of powder left over from the
war into industrial finishing products
was the unusual story told recently
to the American Chemical society by
r. G. Woodbridge of the Du Pont
company. The new cellulose lac
quers, he said, bear so close rela-
ton, chemically, to the nitrocellulose
base of smokeless powder that
changing the war product into
a peace product is comparatively
easy.

Unenviable Status of
Jackaroo in Australia

The name "jackaroo" was given to
a youth cent by his parents to an
Australian sheep or cattle station to
learn stock and bush work. AS he re-
sided and had his meals with the
manager, overseer and storekeeper,
but had to work with, the station
hands, he was generally looked upon
as useless nuisance until he learned
things. Having no special job and no
status, he was given any job of work,
hence Jack of all work."
The old joke was, he was expected
to Jump at the call of the manager
or overseer like a kangaroo. Most
jackaroos, if they showed character
or pluck, etc., became popular and
after four or five years became over
seers; or, if they or their relatives
had money, they bought sheep or
cattle staion or took up a section.

1t is recognized, says the Ameri-
can Tree association. that the forest
resources of tropical America may
be very important factor in our do
nestle timber problem. Some be-
lieve that those forests will be called
upon to bridge the hiatus that is
bound to exist between the exhaus-
tion of our wild timber crop, and the
harvest time of our man-managed
forests. Others believe that they
will form a permanent source of
timber to replace some of our own
special purpose hardwoods.
All are agreed that, in any case,
we cannot fully and completely out
line our own forestry problem with
out taking into consideration all the
factors that may influence the out
come.

more seriously than he did his laws,
and that he kept both of them just
behind him to use when they
might do him good in his dealings with
strangers. These were not our ways.
We kept the laws we made and lived
our religion. We have never been
able to understand the white man, who
fools nobody but himself. .
Now, too late, we know that the white
man is not wise. He is smart, not
wise, and fools only himself"
To read Plenty Coups story is to
realize that he deserves the character
ization of great American" by what
ever standards, either white or rcd,
he may be judged. A part of his
greatness lies in the adjustment he
made between his people and ours, in
his patience, his diplomacy and his
firmness which saved the Crows from
the tragic fate which overlook other
Indian tribes. Of them he says: "We
saw that those who made war against
the white man always failed in the
emu ana lOSt tHcil ldHus. I-Ooh al
the Striped Observation-Disclosures tChey-
ennes). Most of them are living
where they hate the ground that
holds their lodges. They cannot look
at the mountains as can, or drink
good water as l do, every day. In
stead of making a treaty with the
white man and by it holding their
country which they loved, they fought.
All how those warriors fought! And
lost all, taking whatever the white
man would give. And when the hearts
of the givers ere filled with hate their
gifts are small.
1.-THE Cheyennes and the Sioux, who
Jared a little better, have always been
our enemies, but l am sorry for them
today. l have fought hard against
them in war, with the white men more
than once, and often with my own
tribe before the white men came. Eat
when l fought with the white man
against them it was not because I
loved him or because l hated the
Sioux or Cheyennes, but because
saw this was the only way we could
keep our land-and it was my dream
that taught us the way"
Although Plenty Coups talked freely
about his early life, even to the in
innate details of his dreams and all
the other elements which make up the
mysticism of the Indiana rare oc-
currence for the red man to bare his
soul to the white man-his book tells
little of his life after the passing of
the buffalo. The descent into poverty
and dependence upon the white mans
bounty broke his spirit. "When the
buffalo went away the hearts of my
people fell to the ground and they
could not lift them up again." he says.
"After this nothing happened. There
was little singing anywhere" And
those mournful words are fitting
requiem for the whole race Of red
men. -
The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1930-09-12

So profiting by the example and tile
instructions of his elders, Plenty
Coups' boyhood was spent in the kind
of play which was the beginning of
his education in physical development,
in plains and wood craft and in strict
self-discipline of body and mind He
and the other boys played at making
war, and with great eagerness he
looked forward to the day when he
might go out on the first war party
and have the chance for that distinc-
ton so much desired by all prospec-
tive understanding coups. This
might be accomplished in one of sew
eral ways. He might strike an enemy
with his coup stick, bow or quirt, be-
fore otherwise attacking him, or take
his weapon while he was still alive.
He might count coups by striking sim
his breastworks under fire or by steal
ing horses from the village of an en-
envy. Unlike the white mans idea it
was not so much an honor to be
wounded in action. When warrior
who had been wounded donned an
eagle feather to commemorate the
event, he must stain it red, and such
a feather was esteemed less highly
than one which bore the distinctive
markings showing how coup was
counted.
Plenty Coups' young manhood was
filled with innumerable skirmishes be-
tween the Crows and their traditional
enemies, the Sioux, the Cheyennes, the
Arapahoes and the Blackfeet. His
first real contact with the white men
came when he enlisted as scout with
General Crook and served vigorously
with that officer in the great battle
with the Sioux on the Rosebud. For
Americans with their traditional love
of "good craftsmanship" there is an
interesting example in Plenty Coups'
attitude towards his enemies. In near
" every case in which he tells of a
foeman whom he fought and killed,
he ends the story by adding gravely,
'EIe was a good man, that Sioux, and
a brave warrior"
But the opinions Of the white man
expressed by this old warrior is not
such comfortable reading for those
who fondly believe that the white race
is superior to all others. But is good,
perhaps, for the exaggerated self-es-
TEEN of the "conquering white" to
read these words of Plenty Coups and
reflect upon them with an honest
mind: "They spoke very loudly vixen
they said their laws were made for
everybody; but we soon learned that
although they expected us to keep
them, they thought nothing of break
ing them themselves (Their
priests) said we might have their re-
ligion, but when we tried to under
stand it, we found that there were too
many kinds this bothered us
a good deal until we saw that the white
man did not take his religion any
