the only choice which they could
honorably make when their ma
tive state of Virginia left the
Union.
In addition to having the por-
traits of Lee and Jackson on the
proposed stamp, it was suggested
that the central design should be
a reproduction of the painting
''The Last Meeting" by Julio,
which shows the two great COM
manders parting just before the
Battle of Charlottesville where
Jackson received the wound
which later proved fatal. This
suggestion has the Endorsement
of the United Daughters of the
Confederacy and if it is followed
this stamp will be memorial to
the strong bond of affection and
respect which existed between
these two great soldiers and
great men.
Another suggested series of
stamps which has been enthusi-
astically approved in many sec
tons of the country is one that
would honor outstanding men,
bers of the Indian race. So far
only two Indians have had that
distinction, and in only one OF
those two cases was II done TO

Minnehaha Was First.
Besides the portraits of Poca-
hontas and Hollow Horn Bear
there are only a few other in
stances in which the original in
habitants of this continent have
been represented on our postage.
The earliest use of an Indian
subject appears to have been in
1875 when an idealized picture
of Minnehaha, the fictitious he
roine of Longfellow's famous po-
EN- 'Hiawatha," was shown on
the $50 periodical stamp.
Several values of the Column

Likewise, the trans-Mississippi
series included several Indians
in incidental pictures. The one
cent showed Marquette with sew
eral Indians, and the four-cent,
Indians hunting buffalo. The one
cent jamestown issue had small
oval medallions showing Indian
portraits, and the five-cent value
portrayed Pocahontas as its fea-

He was a member of the Sioux
delegation which called upon
President Harrison in 1891 to
discuss with him the future

President Roosevelt's inaugural

Medical Oman Catches Up With
Outlaw Lepr0sy.

NEW YORK. = Simultane-
l ' ously, DR.. Earl B. McKin-
ley announced the isolation of
the leprosy germ and Emil Lud-
wig published his biography of
the Nile, where the germ first
was mentioned in craven head
lines 1000 years ago.
Starting from scratch, DR.. Nc
Kinley, one of the cleverest of the
Omen who patrol the submicro-
scopic world, caught up with the
outlaw in 20 years. He is the forty
three-year-old dean of medicine of
George Washington university. His
announcement was made as he ar
rived in Manila, where he was with
the Rockefeller foundation in 1927
and 1928. He will conduct further
research among the 5000 lepers of
the Culhon island leper colony. This
work will be in behalf of the Gen
eral Leonard Wood Memorial fund.
DR.. Mckinley is a native of En-
poria, Kan, educated in liberal arts
and medicine at the University of
Michigan. He continued his stud
les in bacteriOlogy as the holder of
a research fellowship of the Pasteur
institute of the University of Brus-
sells. He gained eminence in his
profession in teaching and research
work at the University of Michigan,
Baylor university and the college
of physicians and surgeons of Co
lumbia university.
After his work in the Philippines,
he was dean of the school of tropi-
cal medicine at Puerto Rico. He is
member of the International Lep-
rosy association and the American
Leprosy foundation. He is an au-
thority on the ''filterable virus" the
author of several books in his field,
including "The Geography of Dis
ease" and a member of many
learned societies.
News from the philippines is that
chaulmoogra oil. the ancient Indian
remedy, is proving increasingly eff
fective at the Culion island settle
ment, although it is not yet an abso-
lutte cure. But this, with the isola-
ton of the germ, gives hope that
the dreadful plague of medieval

pushed.

A Mexican CaballerO.

CTRAIGHT Graustark is the
- life story of Gen. Jose Gonzalo
Escobar, who may be repatriated
by the Mexican decree of amnesty
for political exiles. He found his
wife at beauty contest-a Texas
contest, too. She was the famously
beautiful Conception Goeldner of Ell
Paso and Mexico City.
The handsome, hard-boiled and
buckle General Escobar, staged in a
long and glamorous plot of amour
and fighting, was one of General
Gales best officers. He was the
hero of the "shef of death" battle
in 1925, suppressing the De La
Huerta revolt. He suppressed the
1927 uprising and rode into Mex
leo on handsomely caparisoned
white horse, with the bands playing
and the crowds cheering.
Two years later, he hid in a clump
of soap weed, shed his gaudy uni
form, medals and all, put on a
poems soiled dungarees and strolled
across the national boundary line
under the eyes of his enemies. He
had started a revolution of his own.
1t didn't jell.
His beautiful wife traced him to
a house in Prince Arthur street in
Montreal. With lawyer, she ar
rived to tell him she had started
divorce proceedings. He could turn
on charm by just pushing button.
Sonora Escobar wilted into his
arms, and it has been Ruth and
Boaz story ever since. The divorce
proceedings were withdrawn. His
enemies charged that he had taken
a half million gold pesos with him
when he fed.
