Indian women sang mighty low
tune" at their work today as their
n1enfolk, brightly attired for the
American Indian Exposition, swapped
tales Of the days when a mans
prowess was measured by his scalp
belt.
The plains Indians Of Western Ok
tahoma are rugged exponents OF the
supremacy of the male. From their
women they demand modesty, eff
cheney and q great deal Of hard work.
How they receive it was shown when
the Kiowas, Comanches, Cheyennes
and Caddos gathered here for the
exposition. The women built the
semi-spherical wikiups (brush-covered
framework to shelter their families.
They split firewood and chased mon
rrel dogs from the racks OF jerked
beef.
At night the braves do let them sit
paltside the firelit circle where reso-
nant syllables recall the hunts and
skirmishes of so years ago. Too,
they may have brief puffs at the
peace pipe-a fixed prelude OF every
visit between tribes.
In sharp contrast to the plains
tribesmen, q few oil-rich Osages from
Northern Oklahoma appeared in fine
clothes and in luxurious cars with
colored chauffeurS. From their poorer
einsmen came exclamations of pride,
none of envy.

to grant them the franchise.
It will fill long felt want which sever

With a warehouse attached to it, the
cumbersome lighter service would be eli

consumer.
