Horrible Scheme

It was in 1774, when the
British flag still waved over
the colonies, that war be-
tween the colonies and the
mother country seemed IN
evitable. Lord Dunmore,
then British governor OF
Virginia, conceived the hor-
rible scheme Of stirring up
the Indians on the western
frontier, so that the colo
nists would have to fight
them instead Of turning
against England, if the war
should come. He sent a
young officer named Michael
Cresap and a small force of
troops to the frontier.
Cresap, obeying orders as a
soldier must, was not aware
of Lord Dunmore's ul5erior
scheme and marched, as he
believed, to prevent an
Indian outbreak.
While Cresap was near
Yellow Creek, avicious a Tory
named Greathouse, who kept
a low tavern and who may

They're comfortable, middle
class people, badly bent, like
the rest Of us, by the depres-
sion. Four years ago they sent
Sissy to college as a matter of
course. Only thing to do.
Everybody sent their girls to
college.
AS a matter of fact, Dad
didn't have much to say about
it. Mother decided things like
that. Dad just footed the bills.
So for four pleasant years
Sissy fooled around the
campus; filled the house with
crowds of lazy, laughing young
friends; flirted and, yawned
through her vacations.
Sometimes Dad wondered
what it was all about; particu-
larly when the monthly bills
came in. Whew! A youngster
like that, spending all that
money! But mother assured
him that Sissy really spent
hardly anything at all-not in
comparison with the other
girls. So-gambling, still mar
veling-dad dug down, and the
ring-around-a-rosy went on.
Now, suddenly, Sissy has been
graduated. The four years are
over. Sissy's home sitting
around, growing more restless
and irritable every day, waiting
for something to turn up. Wait

Four years! All that time!
All that energy and enthuSi-

has it brought? For the life
of him, Dad can't see that it
has bought a darned thing.

Logan's S Revenge

Unaware of the truth that

the destroyer of his family,
not Colonel Cresap, Chief
Logan prayed to the Great
Spirit morning and night to
deliver Cresap to his hand.
He himself killed 80 white
men before peace was made,
and whites and Indians met
in the peace council under
the great elm near Circle
vile.
1t was then that Logan,
from the bitterness Of his
heart, made one of the great

Indian Gets New Deal-Shameful History of

1T appears, Lo, the Poor
Indian. Recent news from
Washington suggests pretty
clearly that the President
and his advisers will make
short work of gentlemen
who are playing the old,
old American game of
short-changing the Red
Man, cheating him out of
the scraps Of land still left
to him from the vast terri
tories which were once his
own.
We have little to be proud
of in our conduct, as a white
race, toward the Indian.
Every treaty we made with
the original American was
broken ruthlessly and shame
lessly the m m ent that
treaty barred the way to
land or gold. The whole
record of the Government s
dealings with the Indian is
spotted with bad faith and

learned how to dress-how to

Dad thinks of his own sister,

She was smart and pretty, too.

Hal had just taken over his

Now she and Hal have a pack

But Sissy hasn't even decided
what she wants to do, much
less made a start. What did
college give her, after all?
Mostly notions. Restless, re-

make her feel she's too good
for the sort Of life she might
have had. She'd never dream
of marrying a fellow like Hal
Carson. She couldn't stand

But the fellows Sissy would

Crime Echoes

There is an echo in the
news of the terrible crime
which was committed a
hundred and fifty-nine
years ago by white men
against the great Indian
chief, Logan, war chief of
the Cayugas-a crime which
turned Logan from a de-
voted friend of the white
man to a revengeful fiend.
Far back in the history of
our country-before it was
a country-the brave and
honorable Logan, looking
upon the bodies of his wife
and sons, cursed the name
Of Michael Cresap and
threw down the gauntlet of
war to the white man in a
speech which lives as a
model of oratory.
And now descendants OF
Colone1 CresaD-One of the
chief citizens Of Chicago,
Mark W. Cresap, together
with Logan Cresap, Of the
United States Navy-are
raising a fund to save the
elm tree near Circleville,
Ohio, under which the great
chief stood when he poured
out his bitter grief.

which he can always find some

dering if his hat was becoming
or if his nose was shiny? Or
ever hear of a MAN lying
awake nights, wondering if he
had made a hit with a girl
or if she would call him up,
next day?
He may be modest, he may
even be shy-but it's harder
to find a man with a genuine

SOLUTION Of L|NDY
CASE IS SPRED|CTED
UmeIenting Search Goes on
for SIayers of First
Son.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, September A year
and half after Baby Lindbergh, 20
month-old son of Col. and Mrs. Charles
A. Lindbergh, was kidnapped and slain,
the police search for the perpetrators
of the crime is going on tenaciously.
New Jersey, New York and Federal
agencies are working increasingly
hopeful that 'the break which will
solve the kidnapping will come.
Col H. Norman Schwartzkopf. super
intendent of the New Jersey State po-
lice, and his aide, Capt. John j. Lamb,
are leading the search in New Jersey,
where the crime was committed in the
bleak Sourland Mountains.
Gov A. Harry Moore has instructed
Schwartzkopf never to relax his inves-
tigation, and Swartzkopf, untiring, Wig
orouS West Point graduate, is deter
mined that his police career shall in
clude the solution of the case. The
State has also placed a S25,000 pre-
MUM on the heads of the kidnapers.
In New York 20 picked detectives fol-
low every vague clue and tip on the
case. Inspector John J. Lyons, tall,
rangy head of the undercover force,
whose job is to know the underworld,
directs their efforts.
Lyons is convinced the crime can be
solved. Although Schwarzkopf remains
silent, he is said to share the same con-
viction.
More police work has been done on
the Lindbergh case than in any other
criminal case in history, so far as I
know. but we are not through yet"
said Lyons.
When the baby's body was found,
May y, 1882, near Hopewell N. j.,
President Hoover directed the Treasury
Department to undertake a search for
the slayers that was never TO relax"
The hunt still goes on.
An ace investigator of the Govern
ment gives it his exclusive attention
A special staff Of trained men aids
him.
Authorities believe the key to the
crime is the $4,000 ransom paid by
Iindbergh to the kidnapers, who be-
trayed his confidence. Lindbergh re-
tanned list of the serial numbers of
the ransom notes. Eventually, officials
think the kidnapers will start spending
the money freely and be trapped.
