from bright hues identical with
those on the painted dolls.
Ochre Color Curtains,

At either side of the wide case
ment windows hang sill-length draw
curtains Of a heavy, loosely woven
fabric In ochre yellow. These cur
tains are embroidered with two
shades of terra Gotta In a striking
triangular design, typical Of Indian
art. Before the window q modern
couch, upholstered in rich, dark
brown, demonstrates - like the
matching easy chair and simple,
clean-lined table Of creamy birch
the perfect tie-up obtainable be-
tween Indian and modern design.
Serving as a unique end table beside
the couch is a tall cottonwood drum
with rawhide-covered ends, bor-
dered with canary yellow, black and
peacock green.
On the table a pair Of beautifully
carved mules heads prop books in
place beneath a lamp with black
pottery base. The parchment shade
of the lamp is especially decorated
with q symmetrical design in wal
nut brown and terra Gotta. An
other pottery bowl holds a growing
cactus on the window sill.
Other original room schemes may
be easily developed out Of materials
handled in the shops or from Gov
ernment bureaus selling Indian
handicrafts. Their rugs, woven Of
fine wools, last for generations If
properly cared for. The designs vary
with the section In which they are
woven-the Alaskan Indians create
patterns just as beautiful but quite
different from those Of the South
west in both color and design. Room
furniture must, of course, be con-
sistent with Indian trappings to
give the right effect. 1t may be un-
adorned modern, peasant or that
type of furniture indigenous to CAL
ifornia-with chair seats woven Of
rawhide strips IN basketwork man
ner-which combines very gracefully
with the Indian influence. AS q
rule the interior of an adobe house
has a ceiling with timbers or raft
ers exposed and sometimes orna-
mented with colored designs in
paint. Certain modern rooms might
be SO arranged. Natural finished
wood Is always q congenial back
ground for peasant or native handi-
work.s II the wood is rubbed over
with q gray-white pigment. then
waxed, nice surface is impaired to
the wood. Plain knotty pine, waxed
and rubbed to q soft finish, is also
q charming lining for an Indian
room.

Natures Children
Yellow.Bellied Sapsucker
(Sphyrapicus varius varius)
BY LILLIAN COX ATHEY,>

BY LILLIAN cox ATHEY.
OF all the woodpeckers, the yellow
bellied sapsucker and cousin red
naped Of the West are the most af-
fected by the wanderlust urge. This
little habit of theirs may enable you
to catch glimpse Of them en- route
to their winter or summer territory.
The males lead the migration party.
Their brilliant red forehead and
crown bordered by glossy black
crescent on the back, blue-black
coat and white and black bars on
the tail, identify them to you, while
the conspicuously shaped blue-black
crescent of the throat and chin
which incloses the area that is
poppy-red, and the brownish- white
underparts marked with V-shaped
black decorations are the face-to-
face marks.
When the males arrive they are
far more intent upon establishing
their claim than they are on finding
insects. They select a tree and
proceed to leave their mark" upon
it. Often in their zeal they make
the holes so close together that they
complete a chain about the trunk.
Preventing the sap from flowing up
ward by this boring results in the
death Of the tree. While this sur
face excacation on the bark is being
accomplished the worker utters
faint but decided challenge to inter-
fering neighbors. Should they per-
sist in their interruptions a chase
and fight ensue.
When the females arrive the
suitors are up at dawn, tapping out
their message of love and endear-
ments. This little practice Of theirs
troubles nearby sleepers very much,
but nothing can be done about 1t.
In the spring a young mans
fancy -" The late riser can only
duck his head under pillow or join
the drummer in his serenade.
If you examine the tongue of this
woodpecker you will discover it Is
fashioned quite differently from
those Of its cousins. They are not

There is no art more indigenous
to our American soil than that Of
the native Redskin, and In this era
when the spotlight is 30 increasingly
focused on grade A Am.ricanism.
indian artistry offers 4 particularly
satisfying contribution to home dec
Grafton. Like modern art. Indian
art is stripped Of any superficialities,
and the two join hands happily. At
the Golden Gate Exposition, two dis
play rooms showed with great ef1ec-
tiveness how the art Of the native
Indian compliments the smooth
lines Of modern furniture.
Adapted to Apartment.
Using these models as q cue, one
designer of charming rooms has
fashioned Q decorative scheme which
retains the characteristics Of the
Southwest and yet is adaptable to
a modern apartment In any Sec
ton of the country. The walls are
coated with plastic paint to simu-
late rough-surfaced plaster. White
paint-into which enough yellow and
gray pigment was stirred to give 1t
a creamy sand color-was used for
this. Paint of q matching shade
covered the woodwork, but the cell
ing was painted q pale turquoise
blue.
Desert and earthly tones dominate
the furnishings Of the entire room.
The floor Of natural finish wood
was stained the ruddy tone Of ma
pie. A Navajo rug spread before
the black-nned fireplace combines
a ruddy terra Gotta red with the gray,
black and white in its pattern. At
either side of the fireplace a row Of
books with brilliantly colored bind
ings flll the inset shelves above deep
cabinets. Along the top of these
shelves q few outstanding bits Of
Indian art accent the subtle colors
in the room with vivid hues: A tray
of natural grass into which is woven
lovely swirling pattern Of vege-
table dyed grass In chartreuse and
walnut, a long and shallow black
bowl and two dolls of the Hopi tribe.
These dolls, carved from wood, are
vividly painted with clear canary
yellow, white, black, orange and an
intense blue-green.
The most striking point of inter-
est in the whole room, however, is
the wall hanging above the fireplace.
It's large, oblong fabric, once the
ceremonial robe of a Hopi woman.
This robe, shade lighter than the
wall color itself, was woven from
natural-color cotton. It is bordered
and tasseled with black. Within
the border mosaic-like patterns of
birds and other figures are woven

drinkers, as you know. Therefore,
the tongue Is tipped with a brush
like ending rather than the sharp
prongs of the insect harpooner.
Many who have been deeply in
terested In the career of this hand
some fellow of the trees insist he
becomes rather hilarious after i'm
bibing in sap that has had the time
to ferment a bit due to the heating
effect of the sun. Those making
this assertion are really above re-
proach and you will enjoy the sap
suckers own sense of freedom once
you hear them at this time. In the
autumn they are typical sober-sides.
Close observation has revealed the
favorite food is vegetable matter,
which, of course, furnishes liquids,
and next come ants to supply the
protein; though grasshoppers,
spiders, stink-bugs and all the small
dwellers Of the bark are added to
the menu. We gladly grant the eat
ing of pests (to us) is trait we
commend, but their appetite for sap
found only in our trees Is one that
wrecks many Of our finest speci-
mems. So. at least in the Southern
States, this famous drummer is not
welcome. However, to a bird lover
the yellow-bellied sapsucker is a
charming fellow to know.

picketing of ships for the Alaska rail belt points, caused no little uneasiness. Later comes word the matter is settled. This is dis tinct relief so far as this parti- cular dispute is concerned. But there are other disputes touching Alaska shipping and industry still pending. May they be like wise settled speedily-but it is to be hoped the matter will not stop there. Let all parties adopt the sane course, and lay down a policy whereby Alaska will be forever released of the all too frequent interruptions and en- barassments that threaten her progress and prosperity.

WHY CRUCIFY ALASKA

The spectacle of Alaskan fleets being tied up at the opening of her season of greatest activity oresents a dep.orable condition
 If not remedied as to every dis pute it may lead to paralysis In mining, fishing, trade, tourist and other traffic-throwing tens of thousands out of employment, possibly for the entire season. and cutting off food and other es- sential supplies for many if not every Alaskan community.
 Aside from any disputes be- tween shipping interests and men in the marine services or in All askan industries and the merits thereof, disputes as to union con trol and picketing of waterfronts creatss a condition in which the people of Alaska are innocent vic tins.
 When it is possible for systematic process settlement of all such disputes, should the peo- pie of Alaska periodically be jeop ardized or crucified.
 Sweden has established a sys tenn of dealing with similar dis putes so that industry carries on while the points at issue are set tied by agreement. Oregon has adopted laws on somewhat sim liar lines that are said to be prov ing effective.
 Not only is it vital to the peo- ple of Alaska but also to the producers, manufacturers and army of employees in the States who thrive and are afforded em- ployment because of the Alaskan activities.
 If the great fishing industry of Alaska be compelled to suspend for the season, Alaskan revenues will go dWindling-and the same applies as to mining. The terri tory is vitally concerned from many angles.
 Urgency of speedy settlement by the process of right and jus tee to all-and for the benefit of all, should appeal to every in- terested factor-and the whole aggravated matter cleared up at once to avert situation nothing short of disaster far and near. Al saEa should be allowed to carry on lest she and thousands outside he bounds suffer immeasurably.

An internal loan of $4,000 900 pesos
$4,000 ,OOO will be foated for the
purpose.
The undersecretary of finance,

House Starts Debate
On Townsend Bill;
Defeat Held Certain
Bolond Says Pension
Measure Will Get Us
Votes at Most
BULLETIN.

The House began actual debate
on the Townsend old-age pension
bill this afternoon after a rul-
ing by Speaker Bankhead that its
own elderly members had a right
to vote on it. Representative
Kennedy, Democrat, of New York
raised the question, saying 1874
House members were over so
years old. He asked if they were
eligible under House rules to vote
on the bill since they might pos
sibly be affected by its provisions.
BY the Associated Press
The Townsend bill to pay old-age
pensions up to 5000 a month
reached the House floor today after
years of intensive Nationwide cam
paigning and political controversy.
, But no amount of debate, both
Democrats and Republicans agreed,
will keep the House from defeating
it when the roll finally is called to-
morrow
Representative Boland of Penn
sylvania, the Democratic whip, esti-
mated there would be not more
than SO Democratic and IS Repub-
lican votes for the bill
Representative Hendricks, Demo-
crat, of Florida, author of the
measure, said he had requests for
speech-making time from 80 pro-
ponents. Each side was allotted
hours for presenting its case.
Only two chances remained for
upsetting the Democratic leader
ships carefully-laid plan to kill the
bill by a resounding majority. Some
Republicans were understood to be
fighting parliamentary procedure
which would prevent any change in
the measure on the House floor. If
they should Succecd-and Demo-
cratic leaders predicted they would
not-the bill might be so modified
as to win more supporters.
Then, when all debate is finished,
a motion will be in ord.r tomorrow
to send the bill back to the Ways
