Abolish the Indian Bureau and Let
My People Co."
We, the Indians of the United States,
are sounding the battle cry of the late
DR.. Carlos Montezuma, for many years
the leading exponent for the freedom
of the American Indian.
For the first time in American his
tory some time ago we asked that we
be given some voice in the selection of
man who shall be appointed guardian
of our persons and our property, the
commissioner of Indian affairs, under
the new administration. For some un-
explained reason, however a man not
of our selection has been named for
that post. He is John Collier Of Cali
fornia. secretary of the American In
dian Defense Association:
Four years ago the retiring commits
sioner Charles j. Rhoades, and his as
sistant. J. Henry Scattergood, were ap-
pointed. They admitted knowing little
| of Indian affairs. Yet they were given
| complete control of our destiny. With
Secretary of the Interior Ray Lyman
Wilbur they made many promises to
| reform the bureau.
Charged With Failure.
We specifically charge that they have
| in five communications to Congress,
dated December IL and December IT,
| 1929: that they have blocked all legis-
lation for reform
Fortified with the largest appropria-
tions ever granted that bureau. they
have retained as advisers, at good sal
aries, men publicly discredited by their
past handling of Indian affairs. They
| have imposed new restrictions of far
reaching detriment which their prede-
cessors never dared to sponsor and have
advanced legislation for the destruction
| of our citizenship rights granted by
| Congress in 1924.
Under that act, all Indians were
granted free and unrestricted citizen
ship rights. Through neglect to repeal
old laws. We are still held as wards of
| the bureau-a bureau which grows in
the records clearly show. Conditions
among almost all Indian tribes today
! are worse than at any time since the
United States became our guardian.
Now. when all Government machin-
| cry is to be closely inspected, overhauled
and improved. We believe the time has
arrived for the Indians to speak for
| themselves.
An Indian Committee, with head
quarters in this city, has been formed
to consider this vital question. Nor
| man Ewing, Sioux Indian from Montana,
widely known as Chief Flying Iron
authoritative speaker on Indian affairs,
is the chairman.
Personal Freedom"
We want as commissioner a man who
has thorough knowledge of Indian af-
fairs and Indians; who can advance
practical plans not to reform" the bu-
reau. but to abolish it. There can be

and worthless piece of political machin-

Meanwhile, the impression grew in
circles close to the negotiators that
Maxine Litvinoff, Soviet commissar of
foreign affairs, might leave details of
negotiations for Soviet purchases in
this country to Alexander A. Trov-
anovsky, the newly designated Russian
Ambassador. and the Amtorg, the
official Soviet trade agency.
Officials have said, however, that
trade would be among the SUBJECTS
reviewed before Litvinoff leaves for
New York, preparatory to sailing for
home. The time for his departure re-
mains indefinite, but a dinner in his
honor has been set for New York on
Friday night.
Litvinof held a conference of more
than an hour yesterday with State De-
partment officials and William c. Bull
lit, who is to be the first American
Ambassador to Moscow.

The tree and table decora-
lions We are showing in a pho
tograph on this page are Of
cellophane, are easily made,
and will last through the whole
holiday season. Here are COM
plete directions for making
them:
Stars ON the Branches
The Christmas tree is made
Of a roll Of clear transparent
cellophane. Tiny gummed stars
decorate its branches and q
large red or silver star is pasted
on top.
The tablecloth, Of the same
shiny material, has a center
red stripe which shows in con-
trast against the silvery tree,
and clear strips on either side,
the strips being fastened with
gummed tape
The Tree
The tree is made by begin
ming with a circular piece Of
cardboard eight inches in di-
ameter as a base. This is COW
cred first with white crepe
paper and then with the spark
ling transparent material. For
the tree trunk, use a thin stick
Is inches long and about the
size of a pencil. Cover it with
white crepe paper and fasten
it to the base with gummed
tape.
Branches From Squares
The tree branches are made
Of squares of the transparent
material, which are simply
pinched together at the center,
crushed down and fastened to
the trunk with thin wire or
heavy linen thread.
There are five sets of branches,
four to a set, the size of the
squares increasing gradually
from four inches at the top to
IL inches at the bottom.
The tiny tree favors which

Claus" the First Lady said,
Though not just perhaps the
way my grandchildren believe
in him."
And she urged everyone to
make Christmas happy for the
children, even if one couldn't
afford to buy toys, one might
exercise a little imagination and
ingenuity in making them.
And this suggestion Of our
First Lady brought back van
ished Christmases Of yesterday
to me, when youngsters made
or helped to make the things
which adorned their own Christ
mas trees. We used to beg for
small boxes and cover them with
gilt paper, and cut pictures from
old magazines and paste them
up for decoration. Perhaps they
were hideous, but oh! the joy
of making them and the impor-
lance of making up the flour
and water paste!
Then there were the things to
be gilded with gold paint, which
was to be had at the hardware
store, for ten cents a bottle!
Almost anything gilded looked
magnificent! So we took the
decrepit old toys, the wooden
churns that could be brought
for a penny, the cardboard sofas
we made ourselves and hung
them on the tree after they
were Respondent with their
coating of gold paint.
And when Mrs. Roosevelt told
us, the other day, that the Presi-
dent insisted on having wax
candles for the home tree, which
is to be in the corridor outside
his bedroom, because he loved
the smell of the burning wax,
we women whose memories went
farther back than the World
War understood. Nothing in the
world could equal that smell of
newly-cut pine trees and burn
ing wax on Christmas morning.
"POOr Mans Cake"
And speaking of Christmas
perfumes, how about that delici-
Gus Poor Mans Christmas
Cake" of which over 800 recipes
were sent out last Christmas?
It's delicious, and I shall be glad
to send the formula to everyone
who will send me a Self-ad-
dressed and stamped envelope.
It costs about 10 cents pound,
and you'd have to be an epicure
indeed, to distinguish it from
the old Christmas cake that
called for a dozen eggs and all
sorts of fol de rolls, that seem
like diamonds these days. Like
Mrs. Roosevelt, I love Christ
mas, and believe in Santa Claus,
and here's wishing the merriest
Christmas to all of you.

to match. which is doubly use
full worn with a winter cloth
coat now and a spring suit
later.
Ermine pelerines-capes or
short jackets-are very popular
for evening wear now, with tiny
melon-shaped muffs to match.
They give a woman the thrill
that only ermine equals, at .
fraction of the cost of an err
mine wrap.
And of course, a two-skin
scarf of sable or baum marten
is as regret-proof gift as a
string of pearls.
THAT NICE GIRL
For that nice girl you take
out occasionally, you'll want a
Christmas gift that's not too
personal, properly casual, yet
expresses the pleasant place
she occupies in your thoughts.
If it's amusing and gay, so
much the better-Such as per-
fume in a crown-shaped bottle
that fairly begs to be inscribed
"a crown to a queen"-or a COM
pect with rollicking cocktail
decoration on the coVer-or a
cigarette case with a tiny watch
set into the corner, as a gentle
reminder not to be late next
time!
Intimate apparel, lingerie, hos
iery, etc., is out, of course, for
besides being too personal. you
probably don't know exactly
what she likes to wear. But
even the most captious Mrs.
Grundy could hardly grumble
at a chaste black suede bag with
a bow knot in carcasite in the
center. This is always an APP
propriate and attractive gift
one that any woman can use.
Dressing table trifles make an
ideal gift for the "once in a
while" girl-a silk handkerchief
box with a half dozen fine
hankies tucked into it is a
charming thought-so is glove
box with a pair of simple suede
gloves inside-or a pin tray Of
painted china or porcelain.
And if none of these quite fill
the bill, you can always fall
back on a good book.

and then start again with the
polish in your favorite shade.
No matter what color you use,
all nail enamels are drying. OF
course, the more wildly they are
colored, the more drying they
will be on the nail.
A Formula
While we are lecturing on the
nails, we might say a word or
two about hands. Everyone
should be using a good hand
cream this time of year to keep
them soft and attractive. II
you are at a loss to find one,
here is a formula which may
helps: One ounce of mineral oil,
one ounce of 1anolin, one ounce
of coca butter, a few drops Of
lemon extract.
It will be necessary to melt
both the lanolin and the cocoa
butter before they can be meas
ured and the mineral oil should
be warm so all the ingredients
will blend smoothly. While the
cream is still in a liquid form,
place it in a clean jar that can
be kept closed when not in use.
This cream should be used as
a night cream for hands and
arms. If you can wear an old
pair of gloves at night, so much
the better.
