Old Warriors Legend
The Cheyennes were, indeed, great
warriors, and one of their most be-
loved legends deals with the event
which led to their becoming so. Ac-
cording to the legend, the tribe broke
camp one Gay and moved short dis
lance away to new site, leaving one
old woman, busy rendering grease, at
the old camp. She said:
4 shall stay here for time, be-
cause I wish to finish pounding up
nones and boiling them, and skim off
the grease"
The night was dark. The old woman
was alone in the abandoned camp She
was boiling bones and Swimming grease
from the pot and she made a torch,
tied it to a stick, and thrust the stick
down her back, between her dress and
her body, so that the torch stood above
her head and threw light on the Dot.
She was blowing grease off the water
when person entered the lodge and
sat down. She did not look up but kept
blowing the grease from the water
Then, one after another, there walked
into the lodge so great, tall Assinni-
boine braves.
There was plenty Of food hanging in
ed meat. The Assinniboines said to
each other I'VE will first get some
thing to eat and then we will kill her.
They made signs that they were hun

pounded meat, and then began to roast
some fresh meat.
The old woman was badly frightened
She kept saying to herself: They will

Hanging up in the lodge was a great
sheet of back fat-tallow-and the old
woman took it down, put it on a stick
and hung it over the fire until the

the ensuing episode is one of the
blacklist pages in the history OF the
United States army. For five days the
Indians were deprived of food and
fuel, and for three days of water also.

were kept ready on the Kansas Pacific
and Union Pacific, awaiting Geographic
flash that the desperate band of Chey-
ennes had been sighted. In spite of
this the fugitives continued their north
ward march, across Oklahoma and
Kansas, burning houses, killing more
than forty settlers, stealing $50 horses,
crossing the Kansas Pacific between in
fantry patrol, few hours ahead Of
cavalry, and later the Union Pacific
in Nebraska by the same narrow mar
gin. Their flight was the biggest news
story since the flight of Joseph and his
band from the Wallowa valley two
years before. When the Indians reached
the sand hills of Dakota in October, the
troops temporarily gave up the chase.

Losses were not heavy on either side,
but Crooks forces were routed by the
Indians-and the tension caused by this
battle may well have been the direct
cause cause Of what happened eight days
and his entire force of 225 men were
wiped out on the Little Big Horn. After
the Custer massacre federal troops went
after the Cheyennes and the Sioux IN
earnest, and by the end Of October,
1876, some 5000 Indians had surrender

their followers, fled to Canada.

territory, leaving only few families,
by their own request, among the Sioux
at Red Cloud agency. In accordance
with terms of the surrender, the Chey-
ennes were allowed to keep their guns
and ammunition.
LOnged for Homeland
Indians are great lovers of their
homeland and many of the northern
Cheyennes found conditions in Indian
territory intolerable. They longed for
their homeland on the plains of eastern
Montana and insisted upon being re-.
turned north. Men accustomed to the
healthful, cool climate, and the pure
water Of Montana, were unable to re-
strain their fears and dissatisfaction
when an epidemic of malaria broke
out, by which 1000 Indians were pros
trated at one time. The supply of
medicine was exhausted and hundreds
of sufferers had to be refused relief
The Cheyennes pleaded again to be re-
turned to their homeland. Again their
plea was refused.

Maintaining
Lu S trOuS S
.SheeninHair
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

A S WE have already noted. the
perspiration and oil glands are
more active during the Summer
months. Added to that more open
windows, outdoor exposure, more dust,
impurities, SCOT and CRIME and au-
toynobile exhaust-all that calls for
more frequent shampoos.
If you brush your hair diligently
the whole year through, give it an
extra few strokes morning and eve
ming during the Summer months.
Comb the hair little longer. Brush
and massage the scalp a little
stronger.
I had an interesting conference
with one of the leading hair Spe-
cialists in this country about the
virtues of shampoos and lotions. His
advice is: Select shampoos and 10
tions for cleansing rather than for
the 'cure-alP claims Of their spon-
sors." Hygiene is the best external
tonic. An oil shampoo Is best for
hair dried by outdoor exposure. And
as for the question "how often to
shampoo" the best answer Is: "As
often as necessary. During the Sum-
mer months once o week Is not too
frequent by any means"
This same expert decries the Use
Of "pasty" wave-setting lotions. Such
lotions, in his opinion, can do moth
ing better than clog the scalp. There
are, however, many thin and fine To-
tions on the market that will not leave
the hair gummy or the scalp clogged
or covered with fakes. You know
there is such q thing as soap or wave
setting lotion "dandruff."
Actual dandrl1ff, an itching scalp
or hair scared and dried by the
sun are the most common Summer
harbingers Of scalp trouble. Like
your health, attractive and healthy
hair is much easier to retain than
to regain. And simple precautions
IN the Summer are easier and more
effective than many remedies. That Is
why the best advice can give you
is, Prevent, prevent, prevent Sum-
mer scalp ills"
Take a sensible amount of precau-
ton by wearing your bathing cap
when swimming and your beach hat
or a parasol when exposing the hair
to the sun. Remember that If the
hair Is cut very short it makes it cas-
ier for the suns rays to scar the
scalp and for impurities to clog and
irritate the delicate hair-growing
structure. Therefore. short hair needs
even more care and precaution than
long.
And bear In mind that healthy
hair is as dependent on the internal
nourishment the scalp normally re-
ceives from the blood and nerve sys-
TENS as on external hygiene. FIRE.
quent massage is necessary to promote
the blood circulation and rest and
recreation is beneficial to the nerves.
All these will help along the natural
benefits Of Summer.

II VOW much parents should deny
IL themselves for their children
is a difficult problem to settle.
IL especially in the United
States, where the belief prevails that
fathers and mothers are nothing but
sacrificial goats designed by Prov
idence to be offered up on the altarS
Of their offspring.
Occasionally we find a hard-boiled
parent, always much criticized by the
neighbors, who considers that he or
she still has some right to life, liberty
and the pursuit of happiness, and the
use now and then of the family car
and pocketbook in spite Of Junior and
Sissy. But such recalcitrant fathers
and mothers are as rare as hens
teeth. The great majority OF parents
do not even put up fight for their
prerogatives. They succumb without
struggle and lay their personal free
dom and desires, their comfort and
ease, their pleasures and money at
their children's feet.
In the average American home the
children are the heads Of the house
and they rule 1t with rod Of iron.
The father is merely the "old man"
who tolls early and late to provide idle
and greedy youngsters with fine
clothes, sport cars and money to
spend. Mother Is nothing but the
faithful servant who waits on them
hand and foot and makes them COM
Portable.
IT NEVER occurs to son and daugh-
ter that their parents have any
privileges in the home they maintain,
or any right to the money they earn.
If daughter wants to live IN q more
fashionable neighborhood they move,
no matter how much fathers and
mothers heartstrings are entwined
about the old home. II son wants to
60 to Europe father does without his
vacation; son goes and father sweats
out the Summer in his office. There
seems to be nobody of whom father
and mother stand in such trembling
fear as they do their children.
The children are not to blame for
this state of affairs. They are Just
what their parents have made them.
From the time the first baby was born
mother and father have kowtowed be-
fore it and been its humble vassals.
Mother went shabby 50 that the baby
might be dressed like infant royalty.
Father wore his old overcoat so John
might have fancy sports clothes. The
table was reduced to spinach basis
so there would be nothing on it that
wasn't good for youthful digeStions.
Father and mother stayed at home
so the children could 60 OF to ex.
pensive camps.
Now the pitiful part Of all these
heroic sacrifices that parents make
for their children is that they are
made in vain, and they do harm
where good was intended Oftener
than not they unfit the children for
the life they are destined to lead.

"Teen Age''
Home Surroundings
Should Reflect Mod

BY ANGELO PATRI.

ENTERTAINING is big matter to
adolescent children. They want
TO bring their friends home and give
them a good time. They want to show
off bit and they should be encour-
aged to do just that. Pride in their
home and family is about the finest
feeling they can cultivate. 1t is sure
force Of stability in their none too
stable state.
Mary, why do the children want
TO go over to your house every Fri
day evening instead of entertaining
their friends at home? I've told them
they could bring their friends home
any time, but they say, oh, never
mind, mother. We're going over to
Aunt Mary's. She doesn't mind I'm
not Jealous I'm glad to have them
go to your house because I know they
are safe. But why don't they want
to stay home?"
II try to give them the things they
like when they come. I don't mean
just food, Kate. Goodness knows you
are a better cook than I'll ever be-"
That's just it, Mary. I'd make
any kind of refreshments they
wanted"
That's not it, Kate. It's the house
You haven't bought a thing for the
house since you were married, now
have you?"
IT didn't have to. The things we
have are good. None of the cheap
junk that has to be replaced every
few years"
II know, but there isn't bit of
color In the place. Now is there?
And the table-no flowers, none of the
gay new dishes. The children don't
care about heirlooms. They want new
things, color, new forms, the modern
odds and ends. I tell you. Adelaide
is going to have a birthday next
month. Let's shine up the place for
it. make it gay as garden, not ex-
pensive, but SNOWY"
"showy? Mary, are you out of your
head? Snowy. l never could bear
that sort of thing"
But Aunt Mary won the day. New
draperies gay with birds and flowers,
new lampShades, a set of plates with
pictures on them, glasses and plates
to match Bits of color where the
dark shades of mahogany and old oak
and walnut used to make the rooms
somher and dignified to stiffness
brought youth into the old house.
The party was a great success. Ade-
laide danced with Joy. Mother,
where did you get that perfectly love-
ly serving tray? The girls are crazy
about it, None of them has anything
like it. It's simply ducky.'
ITO think of it, Mary. That cheese
dish. Pressed glass. She went into
ecstacies over it. And she might have
used the old cut dish that grand
mother owned, a really beautiful
thing. Priceless"
Kate, you will just have to get over
it. These are children. What do
they know about their grandmother's
things? They want the new shining
things to play with. 1t won't hurt
them to have them once in while.
It will do them good"
Children's tastes are not ours.
Adolescent children want things
bright, a bit noisy. and they want to
show their homes We owe them some
consideration. We ought to plan for
their entertaining friends in their
own mood. Most Of the things they
like cost little. A bit of planning
ahead. a few purchases to meet their
tastes, will do the Job. Children who
like their homes APE safe from many

Tips on the Food Market
BY LUCIE EBERLY.

however, are unusually fine this week.
Lima beans are beginning to come in
normal shipments and consequently
have dropped considerably in price.
They are almost as cheap as any other
item. New cabbage and caulifiower:
garden carrots and beets; asparagus
from the Eastern Shore, large green
peppers, spinach. baby kale, chicory and
turnip green's offer good Midsummer
variety. Bantam corn, as you recall,
was received last week for the first
time this year. It Is coming in steady
lots now and is excellent. The nearby
Country Gentlemen" variety, too, is
at its prime.
Boston lettuce continues to come
in good lots. Iceberg lettuce, too, has
come into its own again. Celery,
large, tender stalks. as well as
punched hearts," is plentiful once
more. Tomatoes, the homegrown ones
from nearby fields, could never be
better. more plentiful or cheaper.
Now is the time to put up the VIM
ter's supply in various guises. Rad
isheS are still good, and q few Spring
onions are available at some of the
larger stalls. Cucumbers are larger
and better. Ronaine, the salad ia
vorite, Is at its best.
THERE is no change In meat
prices, say merchants. Beef, lamb,
veal and pork remain steady-which
means that the prices that prevail
now will probably continue. The cold
cuts are, of course, popular items.
The price on these, strange as It
seems, have not advanced very
noticeably. Bacon and fresh pork
breakfast sausage are being specialed
at number Of places.
Poultry too, remains about the
same. There is an exceptionally large
supply Of broilers and fryers-and
merchants say it will hold out through
the Fall. Poultry men have planned
the supply by scientific schedule. A
new lot emerges from the incubator
periodically.
Eggs are apparently about the
same. There has been no Summer
shortage so far. Butter has advanced
again in price.
y n \
FRESH swordfish, baby frog legs,
fllet Of sole, fresh salmon from
Western waters and dinner blues
weighing from to pounds-are the
sea food specials this week. All are
coming In large shipments and are
surprisingly low in price. Boston
mackerel and butterfish are good, too.
Crab meat was received in large lots.
Soft-shell crabs are running fairly
well.

More Facts Relative to Dealing With Damage by Teme
Insulating Wood From
Any Contact With Earth
Or Moisture Advisable
Metal Caps and Concrete Foundations
May Be Used-Certain Chemical
Treatment of Wood Possible.

TN looking for evidence Of these,
watch for the branching tubes and
tunnels Of earth which they have
built to facilitate their reaching their
promised land. These will be found
on foundation walls, resting from the
ground to the woodwork, over mate
rial through which they cannot
burrow.
Test the strength Of the basement
flooring for any possible yielding;
notice II there Is any softening IN
wainscoting, molding, walls, etc. Also,
ternlites are known to like to take up
the literary side of life, and go to work
among the best books IN your library.
Here, Of course, II you read the books
yourself, evidence Of their presence Is
readily attainable.
A popular location chosen by the
termite for his new residence Is in
built-in furniture in basement rooms.
This should be carefully set on metal
or concrete foundations, or capped In
some way so that ingress Is impossible.
Watch built-in bookcases, and PAN
eled walls for signs of destruction.
Dampness must at all costs be
avoided The insects thrive on mois-
ture, and if deprived of it. soon die.
Woods may be chemically treated
with various solutions to render them
ternite-repellant-but the very best
and safest form Of insulation lies in
keeping wood removed from any con-
tact with moisture or with the earth.
IN LOOKING for termite damage 1t
is most important to locate the
probable point Of entry without delay
and start operations from that spot.
From there extend your field of action
over the entire area nearby so as to
be sure that no other vulnerable place
exists.
Skillful surgery is required II large
and beautiful trees are TO be saved
from the ravages Of the termite once
he has got a hold. Wounds in the
trunk or large branches should be
carefully treated and all decayed spots
removed. II taken at an early stage
infestation of termiteS in trees may
be halted by killing the insects in the
ground around the trunks through
chemical solutions and gases. This
holds true in the case of the subter-
ranean termites-their outdoor cous-
ms may be treated to a good dose Of
dry paris green or some similar poison.
Heavily manured flower beds are
likely to prove a source Of trouble for
vegetation, trees and woodwork near
by. All decayed tree stumps, grape
vines, shrubbery, etc, should be done
away with promptly, as they offer a
chosen resting place for the termite
tribe.
Termite damage Is accomplished
slowly. so that an immediate panic
is not necessary-but unless strong
measures are adopted to CEpel the
young visitors from your h~no there
we'll may be no ancestral mc1sion to
be handed down to your children
when the time comes for such
gesture!
