 Summing up the progress of the year, the New York Times points out:
 On every front 1886 has marked solid gains for aeronautcs New records for altitude and in certain speed categories were important as indications of technical progress The intro duction of radial air-cooled engines of more than HOO horsepower for take-off, and the disclosure Of economical methods of manufac- turing fuels of very high octane or anti-knock rating which in themselves indicate increases in power up to at least 30 per cent in given engine, were auguries of still greater perform ance for both civil and military aircraft.
 In Europe a feverish contest for military hegemony pushed the production and the per fornfance of fighting aircraft far beyond any previously recorded there. But this strain on manufacturing facilities did not prevent the construction of more modern and commodious civil aircraft especially flying boats, in Great Britain France, Germany and Italy.
 In the United States, air transport, multi plying it's schedules and increasing the size of its sleeper and day planes. achieved its best years record. Despite four deplorable fatal accidents toward the end of the year, the last six months figures indicated the astonishing total of more than 100000 pas senger-mies flown per passenger fatality Extension and improvement of safety meas ures are promised however through con- ference between airline operators and Gov ernment agencies which impends For the first time. revenue passengers on domestic airlines exceeded 100000 in twelvemonth, while the poundage of air mail, still a neager diet of remuneration, and of air express-the fastest growing factor in this field of transportation-far surpassed any previous mark.
 Through the aircraft produced during 1886 and those which about to take wing in 1887 America has been able to maintain it's technical superiority. But the enormous de- velopment for fundamental research in lead ing aeronautical countries abroad threatens this leadership unless wise and generous ap- propria tion is forthcoming to extend the fa cilities of National Advisory Commit tee for Aeronautics and those of other branches of the Government and of the colleges.

URBANA, IL, Jan. 18.-To fight cold eat fruits, vegetables, butter, egg yolk and milk, says Miss Har- riett Barto, assistant professor of dietetics at the University of Illi- noiS.

FADES FAST AS
ENTRY FOR 1910
Townsend, Former Aide,
Steps Into Shoes
By EUGENE J. CADoU

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Nov. /
U.N.S0-When Paul v. McNutt,
former governor Of Indiana, left
the State not many months ago
to become high commissioner to
the Philippines, all indications
were that his candidacy for the
1910 Democratic presidential noml-
nation would flourish on the home
soil.
His boom had been boosted at a
meeting of a number Of State gov
ernors and political leaders and
McNuttfor-PreSident clubs had
been organized in various local.
ties.
McNutt also had left his potent
political machine in the custody OF
his successor in office, Governor
M. Clifford Townsend, and that
organization has never been de-
feated.
FADING FIGURE
However, the McNutt talk is
seldom heard these days and there
has been a noticeable lack Of ac-
tivity by the McNutt-for-P President

ers have taken the leadership. In
the press releases of the we'll
organized Statehouse and Demo
cratic State committee publicity
departments, the name Of McNutt,
once the highly-publicized party
chieftain, is conspicuous by its alb
Sence.
There is no evidence that Gov
ernor Townsend has ordered a
soft pedal for McNutt, but there
is an indication that some of the
jealous lieutenantS of the present
governor believe that Indiana'S
political interests will be best
served by running Governor Town
send for the vice presidential
nomination. This would leave
McNutt high and dry.
TOWNSEND FAVORED
The eager Townsend lieutenants
point out that Governor Townsend
is natural for the second place
on the 1910 ticket. In the first
place, the nomination is easier to
obtain than the presidency. It
also is well known that Governor
Townsend and National Chairman
James A. Farley have exceedingly
friendly political relations while
Farley has little use for the high
commissioner to the Philippines.
They have quarreled almost pub
licly in the past.
The standing Of the present
governor with union labor and
organized farmers also is cited by
his SulaordinateS as important
from a national viewpoint.
Governor Townsend is a dirt
farmer and a former official of
the Indiana Farm Bureau. In ad-
dition, he is an honorary member
of the printing preSSmen'S union.

CHEYENNES WERE
HAWKS FRIENDS
LEGEND RELATES STORY OF Mag
PIE AND HAWK; SAID AMI
MAILS ATE REDS

Why the Indian considers the
crow, magpie, hawk and coyote as
his friends among animal acquaint-
ances and why the magpie has been
especially hOnOred by plains tribes
In symbolic drawings and 0rna-
mentatiOn Is explained by an old
Cheyenne legend, which is said
to be found among legends Of
many other tribes.
Although the art Of story telling as a
means Of educating the young In the
language and customs of their people
has declined in Importance, there are
still few of the older members of the
Cheyenne tribe who remember and re-
peat stories learned in tepeeS of elders.
One of interest follows:
"a long time ago the animals we're
accustomed to eat the Indians. That is
buffalo, antelope, deer and elk, the elk
or buffalo or deer or antelope would go
out in bands and hunt men. This was
hard for the Indians, as they lived in
constant fear Of being eaten.
"At last the Indians had q great
Montana oil and mining journal., 1937-09-25


council with the animals 10 see II
some arrangement could not be made
which would give the Indians more
power.
Now there was among the buffalo
at that time a swift runner. She could
outrlln any buffalo, antelope or other
creature OF the prairieS. The buffalo
were confident that she could outr1n
anything, so they made q proposition
to the Indians that all the birds and
animals on the pratries have q great
race, and II the men could beat the
animals, they could eat them, and IL
the animals could beat the men, they
should continue as before.
There we're some animals and birds
who agreed to be on the Indians side
In the great race-the hawk, crow,
magpie, coyote and several others.
They would race in the great contest
and If any of them won, the men
should have the victory, but If they
lost they would share the fate of the
Indians.
"A race course was laid out complete
ly around the Black Hills. The runners
were to start at certain point on the
were to encircle the hills and return
to the starting place.
The morning of the race the prai-
ries were covered with animals and
Indians. Great bands Of buffalo reached
as far as the eye could see. Antelope,
birds Of all kinds and sizes, bears, deer,
wolves, coyotes and all creatures on
the plains and Indians Of every tribe
camped along the creek bottoms.
The fastest runners Of every species
lined up for the start. When the signal
was given, the buffalo leaped ahead
and plunged on and on at terrific
speed. The hawk started like an arrow
and was soon far ahead Of everything
else. Other animals were scattered
across the plains as far as one could
see.
The buffalo went on and on, never
Stacking her pace until every blood
vessel in her great body burst from the
effort and she sank down to the earth
and her blood flowed In great streams
into the dry ground.
''The hawk, Straining every muscle to
keep far in the lead, was suddenly seen
to fall like stone to the earth. He,
too, had overworked and his blood
flowed from his broken heart into the
ground.
THE other animals, so great was
their eagerneSs to win, one by one
dropped to the earth, with bleeding
bodies Their blood flowed softly into
the ground, into the very rocks beneath
the ground, and there it even colored
5he rocks, so that to this day there are
places on the plains near the Black
hills where blood-red rocks may be
found.
Nov the magpie was not a very
swift flier, and when the race started
She was soon left far behind She
could see beneath her the great mass
If animals, moving like the wind across
,arren plains She fluttered on, how
sver, on and on, never stopping, never
ooking back. She saw the animals
md birds before her drop one by one
o the ground. Still she kept on.
"At last the magpie reached the place
where the race had started. No one
Use was left in the race. All had
lropped out or had been killed by the
train.
