Soviet Restores Historic
Ruins of Tartar Mosques

One of the most surprising stories that has
come out of Russia in many moon is the
announcement that the Soviet government has
appointed a commission to have charge of the
preservation and restoration of number of an
cient brick structures that date back to and be-
fore the days Of Genghis Khan. These are To-
Gated In Turkestan, many Of them in what is
now desert territory in the vicinity of Samark-
and, Termes, Bouchara, Azerbaydjan and Kir-
gizstan.
These ruins comprise mausoleums, mosques,
minarets and caravansaries of the earliest pc
riod Of Near East civilization. 1t is the elab-
orateness of the brickwork, particularly In the
mosques, mausoeums and minarets, that as
tonishes one. Some of the minarets are esti-
mated to have been originally fifty meters in
height The bricks are laid In patchwork Of
the most extravagant conception, usually in
bands of from six to ten feet in height and In
some instances no two of the designs in these
are identical They may resemble each other
In general character but no two of them are
alike.
Judging from the intricate patterns and the
exceeding care with which the bricks were laid
it must have taken years to build any one of
these structures" says a bulletin Of the Com
mon Brick association, "and the brickwork,
considered from an artistic viewpoint, is alto
gether beyond the widest dreams Of the pres
ent-day bricklayer."

Excellent Maxims for
the Conduct of Life

My code of life and conduct Is
simply this. George Jean Nathan
writes. IN the Forum and Century:
Work hard: play TO the allowable
limit, disregard equally the good or
bad opinion of others: never do n
friend a dirty trick; eat and drink
what you feel like when you feel
like; never grow indignant over
anything; trust to tobacco for calm
and serenity; battle twice a day:
modify the esthetic philosophy Of
Croce but slightly with that Of San
tayaBa and achieve for oneself
pragmatic sufficiency in the beauty
of the esthetic surface of life
Learn 70 play at least one musical
instrument and then play il only in
private; never allow oneself even a
passing thought of death; never con
tradict anyone or seek to prove any
thing to anyone unless one gets paid
for ii in cold, hard coin; live the
moment to the utmost of its posi-
bilities; treat ones enemies with pc
lite reconsideration avoid persons
who are chrOnically in need. and be
satisfied with life always. but never
with oneself.
An infinite belief in the pOssibili-
ties of oneself, with a cOincidental
critical assessment and derOgatiOn
of ones achievements self-respect
combined with a measure of self
surgery; aristocracy of mind conf
bined with democracy of heart;
forthrightness with mOdes,y or at
least with good manners; dignity
with a quiet laugh; honor and HON
esty and decency-these are the
greatest qualities that man can hope
to attain. And as one man, my hope
is to attain them.

Sauganash. White Mans Friend

lnNE of the districts in the forest
~ preserve system of Cook county,
Illinois, bears the name of Sauganash
and that is virtually the only memorial
to an Indian chieftain whom Chicago
has good reason to remember with
gratitude. Sauganash, or Billy Cald-
well, was born in Canada in 1850, The
son of an Irish officer in the British
army and a woman of the POttawato-
mic tribe, among whom he became
leader.
On the day of the Fort Dearboin
massacre in 1872. little group of ter
ror-stricken women was gathered in
the home of John Kinzie. the trader,
not knowing how soon their fate
would be the same as that of members
of the garrison who had marched TO
their deaths among the sand dunes
along Lake Michigan that morning.
Three friendly Pottawatomies, Black
Partridge, Wau-ban-see and Kee-po-
tab, were on guard outside the door
but q group of POttawatOmies from
the Wabash river country, who had
arrived too late for the massacre, had
entered the house and their sullen
countenances were threat of trouble
to come.
Suddenly another. party of Indians
appeared and Black Partridge met the
leader with the demand "WhO are
your II am a Sauganash English
MANI" was the reply and this told
Black Partridge that his tribesman
came as a friend. If he had replied
81 am a Pottawatomie" it would have
meant that he intended to stand by his
Indian brethren no matter what they
did. "Then hurry to the house." ey-
claimed Black Partridge. Your friend,
Shawnee-aw-kee cSilver Man John
Kinzie) is in danger and you alone
can save him."
So Sauganash entered the little
house, threw down his weapons and
greeted the lowering tribesmen: How
now, my friends! l was told enemies
were here but l am glad to find only
friends. Why have you blackened
your faces? Is it that you mourn for
friends you have lost in battle? Or is
it that you are fasting? If so, ask our
friend here and he will give you to
eat. He is the Indians friend and
never yet refused them what they
had need Of"
The savages were taken aback at
Sauganash's cool daring and his refer
ence to Kinzies friendship for the In
dams made them ashamed to ac-
knowledge their real purpose. They
hastily declared that they had come
only to obtain from Kinzie some cloth
in which to wrap their dead before
burying them and as soon as this and
some other presents were given them
they filed silently out of the house. So
the courage or diplomacy of the half
breed chieftain saved the massacre of
the Kinzie family from being added TO
the horrors of Fort Dearborn that day.

His Sacrifice Was in Vain

d ICHARD SOMERS was his name
IN and he was a lieutenant under
Commodore Preble in the expedition
against Tripoli in 1S04-one of those
youthful officers whom that irascible
old sea dog had characterized as a
sd parcel of schoolboys" when they
reported for duty to him at Gibraltar.
But without exception those schoolboys
showed themselves TO be men-siZe
fighters and finally when it seemed
that the attempt TO capture the city
of Tripoli must fail, unless the large
number Of enemy vessels which lay at
anchor in the harbor under the guns
of the town could be destroyed, it was
Somers who went to Preble with a
daring scheme.
His plan was TO fit up as fire ship
the ketch. Intrepid, take it into the
harbor and explode it among the
Tripolitan fleet. To make this float
ing "infernal machine" a success it
was necessary to pour hundred bar
rels of gunpowder into her hold. Be
sides this the Intrepid carried large
stock of spIintered wood and about
two hundred shells with prepared
fuses to lay on her deck. Preble hesi-
tated.
But Somers was insistent and final
~ Preble consented. On the night Of
September 4 Somers. accompanied by
two officers and ten picked men, took
the Intrepid into the harbor under the
cover of darkness. Outside the re-
mainder Of the fleet were watching in
tently the black shadow of the ketch
as she crept in among the rocks. Sud-
denly one of them cried out "Look !
See the light" For bright spot, like
q lantern, was seen to move across the
Intrepid's deck. The next moment q
roar shook the harbor and rocked the
ships at their moorings. A red glare
illumined the sea and the Americans
saw timbers and sails of the Intrepid
rise up in the burning air for a mo-
ment and then plunge kissing into the
water.
The cause Of the explosion is still a
mystery. Whether Somers blew the
ship up too soon or whether the pow
der was accidentally ignited has never
been learned. The next morning thir-
teen blackened bodies fioated ashore
at Tripoli. Not the slightest damage
had been done to the Tripolitan ships
or forts. so Somers' sacrifice had been
In vain. But in the records of the
navy there is written after his name

that the protest was "a tissue of

wrote.
I'VE have not the slightest in
tention Of disappearing anything
particularly in letter addressed to

statements in that letter on maya

and on the testimony in the courts
and before the coroner's jury in
Washington.
In view of these sources of in

would appreciate being corrected by

This is the second Of series Of three
stories on the new junior high school
SYSTEM
Nine thousand Indianapolis school
children will find themselves the OBJ
jects Of official interest when they
return to their classes this fall
They are the pupils in the 7B and
8B grades who are to be the first
to receive junior high school educa-
ton in the city.
Both administrative officers and
teachers will be kept busy during
the year, ascertaining the effect of
the new courses, studying them for
any possible changes.
Directors of the Junior highs ex-
pect the curriculum to be revised at
the end of the coming school year.
However, they believe that only de-
tails will be changed, and general
outlines kept intact.
The junior high school course of
study differs from the former regu-
lar seventh, eighth, and ninth grade
curriculum in that it approaches the
problem Of education from another
angle.
Formerly, if a pupil had taken, for
example, reading I to VI in his first
six years, he would get reading VII
and VIII in his netx two terms, re-
celving more of the same thing.
Junior high school, on the other
hand, aims at giving the pupil a
practical application of his learn
ing during his first six years.
Courses will be shown in their cor
relation to one another.
For instance, geography, instead
Of merely being a study of the loca-
tons and sizes of the earth's land
marks, will become a part of the
work in the social studies.
The effect of, say the Appalach-
ian mountains on the early history
of the United States will be studied.
This effect will be viewed in it's re-
lation to exploration, politics,

All other courses of study will be
built along similar lines.

years of this sort of study in the

LACK of transportation is, perhaps,
one of the leading drawbacks of Jehol.
No railroads enter the province; 1t

rivers. Roads are hardly more than
mere paths over which animals and
crude carts pass. In some regions au.

seats for passengers are placed around
the sides of the trucks. After the
traveller thinks the vehicle is full to
