Black Kettle of the Osages.
But he was not always like this.
There were times when his old fiery
spirit took possession. He entered the
fight for the statehood Of Oklahoma
territory, and here he encountered op-
position enough even for him. He was
for the consolidation of the Oklahoma
territory and the Indian territory un-
der single statehood. The thousands
who were opposed to the Indians
who looked upon them as savages
totally unfit for citizenship fought
him. A year after their coming to
Oklahoma the land had been divided
into two territories-one owned and
occupied by the Indian tribes, the
other owned by the whites. Here the
Cravats lived, on the border line. And
here was Yancey, fighting week after
week, in the editorial and news col
umns Of the Oklahoma Wigwam, for
the rights of the Indians; for the con-
solidation of the two halves as one
state. Yet, unreasonably enough, he
sympathized with the Five Civilized
Tribes in their efforts to retain their
tribal laws in place of the United
States court laws which were being
forced upon them. He made a thou
sand bitter enemies. Many Of the In
dams themselves were opposed to him.
These were for separate statehood for
the Indian territory, the state to be
known as Sequoyah, after the great
Cherokee leader of that name.
Sabra, who at first had paid little
heed to these political problems, dis
covered that she must know some
thing Of them as protection against
those times increasingly frequently
when Yancey was absent and she must
get out the paper with only the I'M
certain aid of Jesse Hickey.
Sabra came home one afternoon
from successful and stirring meet
ing of the Twentieth Century Philoma-
thean Culture club (the two had now
formed pleasing whole) at which she
had read paper entitled, whittier

to read the service over these two
sinners Yancey consented to do 1t and
did, standing there with the fresh

the sun blazing down upon the curling
locks Of his uncovered head.
They put up two rough wooden

boy who, in his early twenties, had
sent no one knew how many men to
their death-whose name was the
symbol for terror and daring
and merciless marauding through
out the Southwest. Even in the East
in New York-the name Of the Kid
was known. Stories had been written
about him. He was, long before his
death, a mythical figure. And now
he. together with Clay McNulty. his
lieutenant, lay side by side, quite still,
quite passive.
Sabra did a strange, terrible
thing. Yancey would not go near the
grisly window. Sabra upheld him;
denounced the gaping crowd as scav-

at the last minute, as the sun was set

walked out of the house, down the
road, as If impelled, as If in trance,

Hefner's window. The crowd made
way for her respectfully. They knew
her. This was the wife of Yancey
Cravat, the man whose name appeared
in headlines in every newspaper
throughout the United States, and
even beyond the ocean.
They had dressed the two bandits
in new cheap black suits of store
clothes, square in cut, clumsy, so that
they stood woodenly away from the
lean hard bodies. Clay McNulty's
face had family surprised look. His
long sandy mustache dropped over a
mouth singularly sweet and resigned.

homa Wigwam are completed.
Yancey consents to conduct di-
vine worship on Sunday. During
the services Yancey announces
he has learned who killed Peg

bullet fired by Yountis. Still
STOPPING, Yancey shoots and kills
Yountis. Then he announces that

the crude social life of the COM
munity. Church suppers; sewing So
cieties; family picnics.
One thing ranked deep. Yancey
had been urged to accept the Office Of
territorial delegate to congress with
out vote) and had refused. All sorts
of territorial political positions were
held out to him. The city Of Guthrie,
capital of the territory, wooed him in
vain. He laughed at political posi-
ton, rejected all offers of public ma
ture. Now he was being offered the
position Of governor of the territory.
His oratory, his dramatic quality, his
record in many affairs, including the
Pegler murder and the shooting of the
Kid, had spread his fame even beyond
the Southwest.
"Oh, Yancey" Sabra thought of the
Venables, the Marcys, the Vans, the
Goforths. At last her choice of a
mate was to be indicated. Governor!
But Yancey shook his great head.
There was no moving him. He would
go on the stump to make others con-
gressmen and governors, but he him
self would not take Office. "Palayer-

QsesAen: How does Syncro-Mesh aid
in driving downhill?
Anss0eS: Experienced motorists use the
brzking power of their engines in
descending long, steep hills. Natu-
rally, the braking power exerted by
the engine is much greater when
the car is in second speed than
when il is in high. When a grade
turns out to be longer or sleeper
than is anticipated, it is Frequently
desirable to shift from high into
second during the course of the
descent. With Syncro-Mesh trans
mission, this is accomplished in
split second
DIRECTION: How does Syncro-Mesh
transmission make it easier to
drive up steep hills?
AHst0er: There are times in driving up
steep hills when a shift into second
is absolutely necessary. With
Syncro- Mesh transmission, this
change can be made instantly. As q
result, driving up steep grades is
not only easier but also safer when
the car is equipped with Syncro-
Mesh transmission.

Question: Can you explain in simple
language the mechanical design of
Bucks SyncrO- Mesh transmission
Answer: Bucks Syncro-Mesh trans
mission is q device which causes
two gears about to mesh TO revOlve
nc the same speed. This effec: is
Obtained with two clutches. AS the
gear shift lever is moved from
neutral il acts on one or the other
OF these clutches, causing the clutch
90 synchronize the two gears about
20 mesh The gears are synchro-
nized 50 quickly that, with no pause
IN the motion of shifting, the final
movement is made while the gears
are revolving at exactly the same
speed. As q result, the teeth inter.
lock quickly, easily, and silently.
QSsstien: How does Syncro- Mesh
enable one to shift more rapidlyI
Aaayss. Thetim required for shifting
gears is reduced by Syncro-MeSh,
because one can shift instan-
taneously, easily, and silently.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1931-03-17

Qsestion: How does Syncro-Mesh
transmission make driving in
heavy traffic safer?
AaSs0er: The outstanding value of
Syncro-MeSh in traffic is the ability
to shift silently and quickly from
first to second, second to high, or
from high back TO second. This
enables one TO get maximum car
speed under various driving con-
ditionS.
QnesfiOn: Is il desirable to shift into
second when stopping on slippery
streetSe
AsssDey. Yes. Il should be remem-
bered that the braking force of
the engine is perfectly equalized on
both rear wheels. Braking power
applied in this manner reduces
the tendency TO skid on slippery
roads. With Buick Syncro-Mesh
transmission, il is simple and
easy matter to Shift from high
into second.

Qsesfion: Why is Buick Syncro-M Mesh
transmission an advantage in
acceleration?
AnssCey. With Buick Syncro- Mesh, the
driver is able to use the full speed
range of his engine in both low
and second speeds before going
into high. In shifting from low to
second or from second TO high,
the shift may be made rapidly with
out ciashing, and therefore the full
momentum of the car is maintained.
AS a result, the full accelerating pos
abiIities of both low and second
are emplOyed and q lead of many
yards is gained over traffic.

NEW YORK, Aug. 31. - Usually There's many slip betwiXt cup and lip" but in New York, appar- ently, it only takes one lone slip to land one in jail with all the accredited earmarks of a criminal.
 Or so thinks Sylvia Marder, IT, and she ought to know. This young lady's career in crime" is not of long standing, but she knows that she has experienced more than enough of the fate of those who become entangled with the grim law.
 . Sylvia, it seems, was sitting on the beach at Coney Island one pleasant day recently when a blue coat, who had no resemblance to the nice day, ayers Sylvia, saun- tered along. It wouldn't have been 50 unfortunate for the fair beach lounger If the copper had just sauntered. But his keen eyes spied one shoulder strap of the girls bathing suit, which had failed 5o do it's duty properly Tn fact, it was hanging over Sylvia's shoul- der, exposing a bit of that part of her anatomy.
 Policeman's Opinion
 The aforementioned policeman .elt right then and there that such alleged immodesty, intentional or otherwise, should meet the law in mortal combat. Sylvia was taken before Judge Steers. She pleaded not guilty and was ordered to re- urn several days later. When ask sd by the Clerk of the Court at the second hearing whether she vas guilty or mot guilty" she S said by her attorney, Francis D. Saitta, to have been misled by the question. At any rate, she admit ed that her bathing suit shoulder strap had slipped down and the clerk informed the court the plea vas guilty
 The next step in the famous shoulder strap affair, which has rocked New York bathing beaches with whispered comments and has even caused other respectable young ladies to let their straps fall a trifle to witness the effect, cata- logued Sylvia as a criminal.
 S5 and Day in Jail
 She was sentenced to a S5 fine or day in jail Being without funds, Sylvia was forced to subject herself to being fingerprinted. pho sographed for the choice collection of rogues likenesses and was tossed into cell.
 In filing an appeal in the courts to have officials destroy the finger print and photograph record, Sylvia and her attorney protest the forg- ing of criminal chain of circum- stances about her. They have call ed to the judiciary's attention the fact that if Miss Marder ever is called as an ordinary witness, even in a civil suit, lawyer may ask her if it were true that she had been eingerprinted and photograph cd by the police.
 Could Not Explain
 She. could be required to restrict her answer to yes" without being permitted to explain that the record involved only the letting down ot shoulder strap on her bathing suit, according to her attorney. Sylvia's conviction on a purely city ordinance, not involving any criminal practice, MT. Saitta says, should be set aside entirely with the provision that she receive a new trial. Her lawyer was voci- ferrous in his denouncement of the practice of taking permanent rec orts of persons charged with viola ting city ordinances and declared that distinction should be made between decent people who inno-

would want a compete change from what she regards as Ger manys present attitude.
 The rock upon which Europe of the future is to be built, the French believe. is the present align ment of nations, with Germany at her present size, Austria a separ- ate nation and Hungary as she now is.
 French Recognition
 The French recognize that not all of Germany is composed of ex- tremists. But militaristic demonstra- tions annoy residents this side of the Rhine. They fear the strength of the Hitler movement and the possibility of the ationa ists squeezing into power.
 Foreign Minister Aristide Briand remarked in recent chamber of deputies speech that there were Several Germanys." Nevertheless the French want the Germans to muzzle the extremists.
 France has her extremists, too, and manifestations by their Ger man counterparts are grist for their mill

LARVAE FROM
 HALIbUT HAS
 BEEN FOUND
Discoveries Are Made Close to Shore Off
 Alaska Coast

VICTORIA, B. C., Aug 31-Ex- tensive discoveries of halibut larvae, said to be of great importance in studying the life and history of the fish, have been revealed here by John P. Babcock Chairman of the Canadian American Halibut Commission. The discovery was made by the staff of the exploring vessel Dor othy during the summer in the banks off the south end of Kodiak Island to Wosnesenski Island and beyond the Shumagins, west of the Gulf of Alaska.
 The early life and history of the halibut has been unknown up to now except by a few discoveries of larvae in the Atlantic near Iceland and some off Newfound- land.
 The larvae discovered off the Coast of Alaska was found close to shore which disproyes the theory previously held that the halibut is a deep spawner
 The discoveries of the summer are expected to aid in conserving the halibut.
