HIGHEST PAY
ASSURED IN
WPA SHIFTS

Organized employees within the
Works Progress Administration
have been promised that all future
reclassifications will carry the
highest salaries possible, announce
ments revealed today.
Assistant Administrator Corning
ton Gill has reversed a previous
ruling by Dallas bort, director Of
the project control division, which
had provided that in reclassifying,
the new salary would be the low
est in the particular grade to
which the employe was reclassi-
fled.
Several hundred workers in the
project control unit were given
pay reductions under the measure
recently, while $50 were dis
charged.
Mr.. Gill's decision, however,
guarantees that all future down.
ward reclassifications will be made
on a basis of the highest salary in
the grade of a job to which a re-
classified employe has been as
signed.
While it will not affect those
workers previously reclassified in
the project control division, 1t is
expected to hold good during a
general shakeup Of the Works
Progress Administration during
the next three months, in which
all administrative positions are
expected to undergo reclassifica-
ton along civil service lines.
Reversal of the procedure was
effected by PWA officials after
repeated protests of the WPA
union, which held that in dropping
to a lower grade from a higher
one an employe is entitled to the
highest rank of his new rating.

We offer you the faint. Painting
hasn't been in use for so long that
we feel it could be brought back right
now with effect. Choose a couple
of nice, wide, soft backs-women who
seem to be standing solidly in one
spot with all the appearance of re-
naming there for an hour. (They
will be between you and the coat
racks, so you'll have to startle them
into moving somehow Place your
self in such position that if you
fall backwards you will fall on them.
Then close your eyes, put an innocent
expression on your face, and faint.
Be sure that your coat check is in
your hand where any one can find it.
Then all you have to do is to stay
tainted until some one comes with
your coat. JEAN.

American Indian. In this cause Mrs.
many lectures. About 10 years ago
she helped TO found the National
Council of American Indians and be-
came its first and, thus far, only
president. She also led the oppoSl-
ton fight in several States and be-
fore committees in Congress for the
abolition of the traffic in peyote,
deadly drug extracted from cactus and
comparable in its effects to opium.
She believed this was responsible for
much of the suffering among her peo-
pie. Partial State regulations against
this traffic resulted from her efforts.
Talking with Zitkala-Sa about her
people one realizes the power of her
devotion to the cause Of her race; for
her road has been long and thorny
one. She has met indifference and
many rebuffs. Once when her heart
was heavy with encouragement she
dreamed she was climbing the white
marble steps of the United States
Capitol and suddenly voice spoke
to her. Press on!" 1t said, "You are
consecrated to the cause Of your peo-
pie! They need you!"
PORN in an Indian tepee, on the
plains Of South Dakota, she was
christened Zitkala-Sa, which means
Red Bird. In early childhood she
came in contact with Christian mis-
sionaries who inspired her to seek a
modern education. Against her
mothers wishes, she enrolled in a
school in the East and later entered
Earlham College in Indiana. Today
she has won foremost place among
musicians, lecturers and writer's.
Many remember her as the author of
number of vivid stories that have
appeared in leading publications. She
has also written "Old Indian Legends"
which is used as collateral reading
text in many public schools of the
land, and American Indian Stories"
an autobiographical account Of her
childhood days.
A lesser woman would have been
content with these laurels, but not
Zitkala-Sa. Her heart was with her
people. and she was ever eager to pass
on what she had learned. She taught
two years in the Carlisle Indian
School and later was sent Cby the
Interior Departments Bureau Of In
dian Affairs as a school teacher to
| the Ute Indians. Here she lived in
the hospitable homes of the Utes. She
remembers this period as the happiest
Of her life. She loved these people
and shared their poverty and, ale
though at times the larder was bare.
there was always the contentment,
kindness and hospitality which re-
minded her Of her own childhood
teachings.
Just as certain story tellers, or one
might say historians, Of the tribe
-ontinue the repetition of the old
legends, Zitkala Sa, too, loves to
tell the stories of her forefathers.
Many of the tales stress miracles that
have occurred in the past to aid her
people. Perhaps she herself will be
instrumental in bringing about an
other!

feels in honor bound to marry a girl
of whom he has grown tired. Such
husband always feels that his wife
has forced him into marrying her and
unless he is a singularly noble char
acter he takes it out upon her in
neglect and surliness. 1t is far better
when a man cannot ask a girl to
marry him to leave her free if they
must be separated for a long time.
Then he is not keeping her from
making marriage if some man she
fancies comes along. Nor does he
obligate himself to marry her if his
taste in woman changes. If they
both really love each other their
affection will survive and their mar
riage will be one of volition and not
compulsion.
Anyway. it Is not good for student
to be preoccupied with an engagement.
He should be giving his attention to
his books and not to sentimental
affair.

oliC ACPAAC0, SAA JOob OOAASOAAAAScJ SNS
my husband and I visit my tribe
nearly every Summer. There relive
my childhood days at the clans
gatherings. My grateful people US
ually plan feast in our honor, which
always includes 'tipsina,' one Of my
favorite dishes. When return home
bring sun-dried beef, pumpkin rings,
and a string of tipsina, a tuberous
plant which grows wild over the
plains" She laughed as she displayed
her scanty supply of tipsina, which
had been depleted by frequent raids
on her exhibit stock, which is braided
in long strings for display. She uses
this tuber, which has been previously
soaked overnight, to give a piquant
flavor to a stew or soup made of dried
pumpkin rings, sun-dried beef and
wild rice She says that she would
prepare more Indian dishes II she
could get the ingredients.
HER living room in Lyon Park is
decorated with many beautiful
Indian relics. One of her priced pos
sessions is a pipe made by 9o-year-
old Indian woman and presented to
her and her husband in recognition of
their service for the Indians. The long
handle is exquisitely decorated with
porcupine quills.
Another treasure is gayly decorated
bag which has flap something like
an envelope. Zitkala-Sa explained
that in olden days the Indians made
these bags of dried skins in which
to store their food. Wall decorations
consist of photograph of Sitting
Bull and several brightly colored rugs
and blankets. Each Of these rugs,
Zitkala- -Sa says, is like a poem to her,
for each has its history and tells a
story. An interesting one is small
square with double sWastikas, which,
she explained was first blessed and
then presented her by Ute chieftain
at the close of the Utes' sacred sun
dance.
She showed us a princess robe of
buckskin elaborately beaded and heav-
lily fringed, also the beaded moccasins
that are worn with it. She wears this
native costume when giving public
lectures, also for feast occasions when
among her own people. She laughing
ly remarked that Indian women do
not have to worry about changing
fashions, for their dresses never go
out Of style. Asked if she observed
any ceremonial, her reply was in the
negative, but she and her husband
converse in the Sioux language in the
| privacy of their home.
Adjoining the living room is her
study, furnished with modern file
cases. unobtrusive desk, typewriter
and table, for it is in this room that
Zitkala-Sa and her husband, Capt.
Raymond T. Bonnin, also a Sioux,
of Indian and French descent, study
and write constantly on behalf Of
their people.
7 ARGELY through their efforts the
General Federation of Womens
Clubs added an Indian welfare de-
partment and assisted them in gain
