and wrapped in a blanket was an old Army
ledger.
The book was somewhat disintegrated by its
long burial, that its leaves had become looS-
ened. But the paper was in good condition,
and when the leaves were lifted apart it was
found that each page bore a large drawing
of an Indian, usually on horseback, shown at
the climax of some bold or bloody deed
The other objects from the grave finally be-
came scattered and lost. The book in time
passed into the hands of a nephew OF the
rancher, D. S. Warren, at that time living in
Des Moines. Iowa. He in turn lent it to Cura-
tor E r. Harlan of the Historical, Memorial
and Art Department of Iowa. Mr.. Harlan
sent it to the Smithsonian Institution, where
photographs were made of the pages and the
original then returned to Mr.. Warren.
EN-. HUGH L. SCOTT, veteran Indian
~ fighter and peacemaker. who died in
Washington only last Spring, examined the
drawings and interpreted them as completely
as he was able. After his passing, Gen SCOTS
closest Indian friend Richard Sanderville TO
year-od Blackfoot, leading expert in the re-
markable Indian sign language also looked
them over. checking and confirming his white
friends interpretation
The two experts, white and red, agreed that
the drawings in the book were records of the
"coups" or daring exploits perpetrated by sew
eral different Indians, A coup" was some
conspicuous feat usually of more than ordinary
hazard, by which a young warrior endeavored
to enhance his prestige among his people.
1t might be Staying an enemy white man or
Indian of another tribe mattered not) it
might be merely getting opponent into
helpless position and then counting coup" on
him with a riding whip or some other method
of tagging him. 1t might be raiding an
Army picket line and running OF the mules.
1t might be what the white man would regard
as cold -blooded murder or on the other hand,
the preparation of some schoolboyish prank at
the risk of his own life. (Samson's Halloween
stunt of carrying of the Philistines' city gates
could certainly have been nicked on his COUP
stick if Samson had been . plains Indan.)

Tobacco Increased

CHINA has long been one of the principal
~ consumers Of American hue-cured tobacco.
but the present trend seems to indicate that
the market will become less and less important
to the United States as time goes on. In the
past Manchuria has raised as high as SO, 900 0oo
pounds Of low-grade leaf tobacco but in recent
years Manchuria has turned to the fue-cured
leaf type. This years crop exceeded the
1000 900 0-pound mark, . considerable increase
over last year, while the acreage devoted to tlis
type was up 60 per cent.

sign language to tell Of the approach
of a horseman.
The word itself appears to be Of French origin
A young man with plenty of ''coups' to his
credit was usually well regarded in his village
The young squaws would look upon him with
secretly favoring eyes; their fathers would more
openly approve him. He was in the same fortu-
nate position as q college athlete with half
dozen varsity letters to his credit in one of our
own more cultured communities. Naturally,
record of ones "coups" was good thing to
have
It may well be that the book came into the
possession of the first diarist, q Sioux named
Yellow Horse, as the result of q coup. 1t is not
likely that he bought it; more probably he
either stole it from Army post and made
clever getaway took it part of his share
of the loot after q raid on an Army train on
day when it was the Indians turn to be in
luck
I IOWEVER he got hold of the blank ledger,
Yellow Horse made proper use of it. He
filled the first eight pages with crude but spir
tied pictorial records Of his "coups." Most of
these consisted of riding down white men. some
times shooting them sometimes merely count
ing coup" on them with his quirt or his pistol.

YUGOSLAV UNITY
POLICY IS FIXED
New Premier Announces
Principles to Apply to
Cabinet Selection.
Nv Cable to The Star.

BY Cable to The Star.
BELGRADE, October 22.-Nikola
T. Uzunovitch, Premier of Yugoslavia,
declared in a statement to the press
at midnight last night that the nem-
bers of his new cabinet, as yet I'M
named, must stand unreservedly for
the following principles:
/. Monarchial constitution.
2. Karageorgevitch dynasty.
3. Unity and indivisibility Of Yugo-
slavia.
4. A policy of peace.
Yugoslavia's old political parties
are played out, said the premier, and
can never return.
Father Anton KoroShetZ, Slovenian
leader, it is learned, has been freed
after a period of internment on Hvar
Island upon his declaration Of loyalty
to the new regency rule.
DR.. Vladimir Matchek, Croat
leader, who is interned in hospital
at Zagreb, capital Of Crotia, has
issued a statement Of coincidence and
sympathy addressed to King Peter II,
Queen Marie, widow of the late King
Alexander I, and Prince Paul, chief
regent.
Information from other sources,
contradictory to the assurances of
the premier, is that the Croats, who
have long smarted under Serbian rule
centered in Belgrade, are bitter and
will fight for their autonomy goal.
There are predictions of critical days
ahead.

SENATE WONDERS
HOW It WILL EAT
"Refectory" Short Of Cash
With Reopening Set
for December.

Members OF the Senate are in a
quandary as to how they are going to
eat this Winter.
The Senate "refectory" as it has
been traditionally denominated for
generations, is minus the necessary
funds to keep it going. Plans had
been made to open 1t up In about six
weeks, but search Of the appropria-
tions measures reveals that this can
not be done unless 1t sustains itself.
While Federal benefits have been
handed out In recent months in many
directions, the Senate restaurant has
been Disseminated against.
A legislative appropriation bill con-
tains a provision which sharply limits
use of the funds carried in the meas
ure 'for the operation Of any restau-
rant" AS this language is interpreted
by appropriations experts. it means
that If the Senate Rules Committee,
which Is in charge Of the "refectory,"
can make the restaurant pay, it can
go ahead and operate it, but it cannot
get Federal aid and comfort.
Copeland in Charge.
Senator Copeland, Democrat. Of
New York, as chairman of the Rules
Committee, Is in charge of the restau-
rant. If he fails to open up the es-
tablishment, which has been closed
through the Summer, he will be under
the fire Of criticism from his brethren.
II he opens 1t up and it does not pay
he will be preceding in violation OF
the legislative appropriation act.
House leaders, it appears. looked
appropriation act a special provision
under which the House restaurant
can operate.
In the background Of the matter is
the complaint which has been heard
for years, and which has impressed
watchdogs Of the Treasury in the
House, that few Senators have sys-
tematically refrained from paying
their bills in the "refectory." They
have, 1t is said. had their meals
charged from week to week and
month to month and year to year and
never paid what they owed. The
aforesaid watchdogs Of the Treasury
are bent on making Senators pay
their bills and making the cafe a
self-Sustaining institution.
To Open in December.
At the Capitol yesterday 1t was
given out that the Senate "refectory'
would open in December, despite
drawbacks, and that efforts would be
made to make it pay its way. A pos
sible way out of the difficulty is a
deficiency appropriation early in jan
uary. This, however, would amount
to confession that Senators were get
ting meals at q rate less than cost
to the Government. It would not DC
good advertisement for the New
! Deal.
Meantime, the many old-time en-
ployes of the Senate restaurant are
uncertain about its future. Some oi
/ the colored walters and cooks have
been familiar figures about the re-
fectory" for a generation or more
and they are worried about their
tenure Of Office. Unless the budget
regarding the cafe can be balanced
they are due for a long. cold Winter,
possibly to 60 on relief rolls.
