WILBUR ADVOCATES
STATE INDIAN CARE
Government Should Grant Redman
Independence as Rapidly as He
Can Be Trained, He Says.

The Government should plan to give
the Indian increasing opportunities and
independence as rapidly as he can be
trained" according to Secretary of the
Interior Wilbur.
Speaking in radio address last night
to outline policies now being placed in
effect, the Secretary said, however, that
plain, common-sense administration of
the affairs of the Indian is not possible
under present conditions, since much
that should be done by the admins
tration is done by legislation.
The Secretary, who, upon becoming a
member of the Hoover cabinet, inaugu-
rated a policy of gradually weaving the
Indian from governmental guardian
ship. said there was real opportunity
at the present time for constructive
legislation by Congress which should
open the way to more efficient operation
of the problems of the Indian"
Citing proposed measures calling for
the establishment of a Court of Indian
Claims, the lifting of encumbrances
from Indian lands and the cooperation
Of governmental with State agencies
Wilbur advocated such legislation to
gradually lessen Federal supervision
and increase the responsibility of the
States in which the Indians reside.

|BULGAR|A'S WOMAN
librarian IS HERE
Margaret Demchevsky
Strives to Bring Country
men Book Benefits.

Miss Margaret Demchevsky, Bulgaria s
first and only trained librarian, who is
responsible for the steps that are being
taken to establish for her native land
a modern system of libraries, is in Wash
ington this week studying the Capitals
system of libraries and inspecting the
Library of Congress.
Her visit to this country, which will
cover period of about four months, is
made possible through grant from the
Carnegie Endowment for International
Peace through the American Library
Association. During her stay in this
country she expects to attend the an
nual meeting of the American Library
Association in Los Angeles, June %
to %.
AS a student at Constantinople Col
lege the young woman'S prediction be-
came so evident that she was asked to
become the librarian of the college in
her senior year. In 1919 she held her
first successful Good Book week" in
ConStantinople.
She entered the School of Librarian
ship at the University of London and
for the subject of her thesis she chose
THE Library of Congress as 1t Reflects
the Character of the American Nation, "
which was published by the university
as a valid contribution to the literature
OF library history. AlLeT graduation
Miss Demchevsky became director of
the Bulgarian National Library. The
following year the ministry of public
education of Bulgaria invited her to
become library adviser to the depart
ment.
Her goal is a library school, for which
she has secured premises, but is still
without funds to provide teachers, other
than herself. who are familiar with Bull
garia and its people and the difficulties
to be met, as we'll as with the technique
of guardianship.
In June, 1929, Miss Demchevsky was
an official delegate from Bulgaria to the
World Library Congress, held In Rome.
After the congress the American Lii
brary Association loaned her the post
ers and books which had been exhibited
there. Several European countries
sent similar contributions. With this
material as a basis she organized and
successfully carried through the first
international exhibit ever held in Bull
garia, which proved real stimulus to
library activity

has the opportunity to carry education.
To the mother and the family she is a
very practical and trained teacher. Her
work in recent years emphasizes its
significance, and a demand for it has
spread over the world. In this extend
ed field you will find that there are
great and growing opportunities for the
properly trained and properly qualified
and personally devoted nurse.
Preparation for recreation is impor-
tant and includes ability to organize
programs and supervise centers for ath-
letics and other phases of leisure-time
activities. This has multiple opportu-
mites and would include community
pageants, camps and dramatics, etc.
A mere instructive and impulsive de-
votion to human interests is not enough
for you to be really successful worker
With this devotion there should be the
ability to select a definite field into
which you will fit most happily and in
which you can display the full range of
training and talent.

appear tomorrow. it being a discussion

SEES VETS UNABLE
TO IMPRESS PUBLIC
W. C. T. U. Statement Notes In
ability of Anti-Prohibitionists to
Score Point in Campaign.

The vets were charged with failing
in every point of their testimony be-
fore the House judiciary committee at
the recent prohibition hearings in a
statement issued yesterday by the
Woman's Christian Temperance Union.
THE vets" the statement said,
failed ANONYMOUSLY in their attempt
to show the women Of America desiring
return to the domination of the
legalized booze traffic. They continued
the old bludgeoning tactics of the
United States Brewers Association,
presenting noisy testimony, but little
evidence"
On the other hand, it continued,
having fought the liquor interests for
so years and knowing they have learned
no new tricks, the dryS concentrated
almost entirely on Nationwide evidence
from unprejudiced sources showing that
the health, wealth and happiness of
America had been enhanced greatly by
closing the saloons and outlawing the
liquor traffic"
Comparing presentation of wet and
dry testimony on various phases of the
prohibition question, the statement
concluded that las a practical matter
the economic side of the argument so
forcibly put to the congressional in
vestigators was the strongest national
argument for prohibition, while the
most potent political force was the
enormous number of women shown to
be favorable to prohibition"

Will Rogers
Says:

BEVERLY HILLS. Calf, April 81.
See by the papers that down in
Miami, Fla, they arrested AL Ca
pone's brother on the golf course for
vagrancy. A vagrant is a man that
has no visible means of support. If
they start enforcing that rule, it
will mean the death of golf. Maybe
they searched him and he didn't
have either flask or a gun. That
would practically constitute va
grancy with former Chicago resi-
dent.
Well, I am going to Oklahoma
this morning. I been sitting here
waiting for weeks for somebody to
take our census. So I finally got an
offer to go there and give 'em in.
Yours, WILL.
