 Buchanan spent lonely life there.
 He wooed the fair Ann Cole man and won her promise, but she broke the engagement out of
 deference to her father who con- sidered the match unworthy of his daughter.
 Following his disappointment in love, the young lawyer rose from honor to honr, going finally from the Court of St James to the White House as the 18th Presi- dent. His success has been attrib- uted to redoubled efforts inspired
 by the rebuff inflicted by the Cole man family.

 caster, spending the stormy war days in obscurity. He died in 1868 after seeing the Union preserved as he wished it to be.

DETROIT CHINESE
 START NEW DEAL
Provisions for Steady Em= ployment Aim of
 Oriental Leaders

Detroit-)UP)-A New Deal" of Oriental conception is being promulgated here by leaders of Detroit's depression decimated China town.
 The Chinese new deal is to pro- vide for the steady employment of every Chimes adult in the city who wants employment and to reestab- fish the once thriving chains of res tuarants and laundries that four ished before 1929.
 It is estimated by Chinese lead CTS here that a bare 500 Chinese, 50 of whom are women, remain of the colony of more thnn 1400 of few years ago.
 There are in Detroit at present 32 Chinese restaurants, 21 having closed during the depression. Of the chain of 300 laundries in the city, only 200 remain in operation.
 Chinese business men, says Frank Lee, restaurant proprietor, have taken to heart the lessons taught by the depression and have placed their businesses on a scien- tific basis.
 In 1928 there was owned collec- lively among Detroit Chinese $2,- 500,000 worth of business enter prises in the city. They consisted principally of restaurants and laundries, with a sprinkling of im- port houses dealing in Chinese wares and foodstuffs.

CANADIAN HAS
 FIVE YEAR PLAN
Mayor to Submit Idea to Solve Social and Unem=
 plOyment Problems

Montreal (UP) A five-year "six-point plan" designed to solve Canada's social and unemployment problems has been drawn up by Mayor Camillian Houde, of Mon- treal. He will submit it to the Quebec and Dominion govern ments for consideration.
 The mayor believes his plan would afford work for the unem- ployed and permanent livelihood for the unemployables, yet attain it's object with a minimum of in- reference by the state in private enterprise.
 The mayors plan has six main points:
 1. Back-to-the-land movement on national scale.
 2. Canada-wide adoption of old age pensions.
 8. Tax of five per cent on all incomes over $1,20O year to form fund out of which the state would pay 50 per cent of labor costs to property owners rebuild ing or repairing their holdings so as to activate the key industries and pick up thousands of skilled artisans. now idle.
 4. General legislation for grad ual establishment of the woman in the home and the man in fac- tory and office.
 5. Legislation setting maximum hours of work and minimum pay for all in Canada.
 6. Curb on financial buccaneers by law uder which five directors in each corporation would become responsible, civilly and criminally, for the acts of their organizations

pointed Gaspard Chaussegros de Lery to do the work. While it was permission for "a stone house" which Joncaire had won from the Indians it was a veritable fort which de Lery built in 1726. Walls four feet thick protected it with out; all interior we'll was provided in case of siege. And that 'stone house" since known as the Old French Castle, together with its well, it's guns and it's furnishings, may be seen this very day at re- stored Old Fort Niagara.
 For the next 30 years, with feel ing constantly growing sharper, the French apprehended daily an at- tack on Fort Niagara by the Brit ish. In preparation for this they sent across the ocean Captain Francois Pouchot, a military en- gineer, to transform de Lery's stone house" into a true fortress with earmarks, meats, powder magazine and formidable batteries of artillery.
 The Seven Years War between Franceu and England, declared in 1756, was the French and Indian War in the New World, and the inevitable British attack upon Fort Niagara came in July 1759.

the Griffon made her last voyage, for one fine day she cruised away and nothing was heard of her or her crew from that day to this. Luckily, La Sale was not aboard.
 Such were the beginnings of La Sales exploration of the vast western French empire over which Old Fort Niagara was later to rule. From the Griffon's fateful sailing in 1879 until the fall of 1883 the ad- venturer of Rouen was pushing westward and southward, claiming great stretches of country in the name of Louis XIV. Here and there he and his men were estab- fishing trading and supply posts, nuclei for that chain of settle ments along the Great Lakes, the Ohio and the Mississippi to which Fort Niagara was the key.
 In 1883 La Salle returned east ward after a winter on the Illinois fortifying Starved Rock. Count Frontenac, his staunch supporter, had been recalled from New France and La Barre was governor of Canada. No friend to La Salle, La Barre confiscated his property and so otherwise impeded his ef- forts that La Salle returned to France to stay.
 At that juncture the publication in Paris of Father Hennepin's S Description de la Louisiane" serv- ed to focus the attention of the French and the British upon the value of the western colonial fur trade and upon the importance of Fort Niagara thereto. Virtually simultaneously, Donagan, the Eng fish Governor of New York, and the Marquis Denonville, now Gov ernor of Canada, urged their home governments to fortify the Niagara.
 The French forestalled their rivals and now came the building of Fort Denonville, where La Sal- les humble outpost of nine years before had stood. There came, too. the devastating Winter of Starva- ton. Disheartened by this loss of life, Governor Denonville order ed that the survivors of the heroic garrison be marched out and the fort abandoned in the spring of 1888. Fort Frontenac, it was thought. was all the government, at the time. could support in that general region. Thus came to 3 speedy and ignominous end the

On the rim above the mighty Niagara cataract his workmen be- gan the Griffon, which was to bear their hopes. Soon the leader him self was at hand to supervise, he and his doughty lieutenant, Henri de Tonti, surnamed the Iron Hand" because of the metal mem Der a surgeon had substituted for the right hand lost at the Siege of 1essina shortly before.
 h dealing with the New World savages this mysterious device proved not a disadvantage to Tonti but a powerful aid. 'SThe Indians greatly feared it." wrote de la Po- therie. "They called him the Iron Arm.' He often knocked their heads and teeth with blow from the fist when he had difficulties with them"
 Sounds of saw and hammer echoed strangely through the lofty forest, as, near the junction of Cay uga Creek and the river, now with in the bustling city of Niagara Falls, the keel and bending ribs of La Salle's vessel of adventure took form. When, on January 26, 1879, the start was well under way, the leader made off again to Fronte- mac, near the eastern end of Lake Ontario, for fresh supplies. The Iron Hand" was left in charge and under his direction, Hillaret, chief craftsman and his smiths and carpenters proved themselves good shipwrights.
 Fortunately for their work and safety most of the neighboring Iro- quois were absent on a hunt but a few lurked about the little ship yard awaiting opportunities for plunder. One attempted to slay a blacksmith but was repulsed with a hed-hot iron bar. Once when the braves plotted to burn the ship yhrd the French enterprise was saved by the friendly warning of a Seneca squaw.
 Desperate cold and hunger was offset by the example of Tonti's energy and by Father Hennepin's exhortations and the Griffon's hull, of %E tons, was ready for christen- ing in May. Tonti was unable to get her through the rapids into Lake Erie but'upo La Salle's re- turn from FrQntenac in August, the passage was negotiated with the aid of strong wind and tow lines from the shore.

 Moving somewhat mysteriously through the dark period between Fort Denonville's evacuation in 1888 and 1726 is the romantic fig hre of Louis Thomas de Joncaire, usually called Chabert de Joncaire. As an officer of the French Mar ines, he is thought to have been captured by the Senecas and to have displayed such extraordinary fortitude in the face of death ny torture that he aroused the admir- ation and won the lifelong friend ship of the Iroquois. His adoption into their tribe and his future close association with them meant much to Frances cause in the New World for he proved an intermed-

 England and France were theo- retically at peace but there was no cessation of warfare among their competing fur traders on the Mag are and Lake Ontario. It was inn perative to the French to control the Niagara for it was the main connecting link between Quebec, Mnotreal and their western out posts.

Federal employees in Washington
were hailing with satisfaction
today an announcement from the
Bureau of Census that 1900
workers to be given temporary
Jobs here next January will be
selected from certified Civil SerV"
ice lists.
All was not joy in governmental
ranks, however, as it was also
learned that about $4,000 positions
to be made available outside the
Capital at the same time will be
filled without regard to the merit
system.
The workers will participate in
the regular census of agriculture
that, by law, occurs midway be-
tween the decennial censuses of
population.
Most of those to be hired here
will work for only four or five
months. About 500 will be re-
tanned for a year and 200 for a
year and a half. Those who will
labor for the longer periods will
be chosen from among the origi-
nal appointees on the basis Of
efficiency shown while on the job.
