business sessions yesterday of the
74th Diet in which minority groups
which have LOG out of 466 seats in
the Parliament presented a resolu-
ton advocating conversion of the
anti Comintern pact into a military

cluded against Britain and France,

trying to make an outright alli-
ance out of the anti-Comintern

millinery scene this spring. The
hat without veil is the exception
rather than the rule. In arranging
wells you are supposed to do just as
fancy dictates, the more whimsical,
the more ,erratic, the more altogeth-
er adorably irresponsible so far as
following form and conventions, the
smarter.
Navy is classic for spring suits,
coats and dresses. The navy blue
hat of chic peach-basket variety
shown below to the left in the pic
ture is topped off with cluster of
soft pink ribbon bows nestled in
side the top of the crown. A sheer
navy veil is draped around the
crown with ends flying in the back.
This model is also available in other
fashionable color combinations.
Black hats with colorful accents
are an accepted mode for dressy
spring wear. The crown of the
black felt Wateau, shown above to
the right, is sprightly decked with
chartreuse and fuchsia flowers. The
big bow at the back is of stiff char
treuse yelling.
With her black lace afternoon
dress Hildegarde, glamorous Amer
lean radio songstress, wears black
felt turban with bright Tuscan straw
brim as pictured below to the right

The newer shallow-crowned bre-

rolled brims higher at the back than

This charming model is Pixie
green felt with contrasting veil and
ribbon band in navy. It is also
seen in various other color combina-

ADVENTUROUS
AMERICANS
By
Elmo Scott Watson
Gabriel Arthur, Wanderer

GdDIlel ATCnuT, WdHQeIeI
IN THE spring of 1878, Capt. Abra-
ham Wood of Fort Henry (now
Petersburg) in Virginia sent James
Needham, a South Carolina gentle
man, and a lad named Gabriel Ar
thur into the Southern Appalachians
to trade with the Cherokees. They
were warmly welcomed but later
Needham was murdered by treach-
erous Occaneechi brave.
The Cherokee chief promised
Arthur to escort him home the fol-
lowing spring In the meantime he
took Arthur to a village of friendly
Mohetons on the banks of the Great
Kanawha. Returning from this visit
the Cherokees went out of their way
to attack village of Shawnees. In
the battle which followed the Eng
lish lad was wounded twice by ar
rows and taken prisoner by the
Shawnees.
Because he had long hair, the
Shawnees suspected that their cap
tive was not a Cherokee and when
they secured off the accumulated
dirt they were amazed at his white
skin. When he told them, by sign
talk, that he would return to trade
with them if they would release
him, they promptly sent him on his
way to the Cherokee country.
Reaching the town of his former
friends, he set out for Fort Henry
the following spring accompanied by
Ii Cherokee laden with furs for trad
ing. Narrowly escaping death at the
hands of the hostile Occaneechies,
Arthur reached his home after one
of the most eventful experiences that
probably ever befell an English lad
of his years. He had penetrated far
Their into the Ohio country than any
of his fellow-Englishmen but history
does not record whether or not he
lived to see his people triumph over
the French in their contest for that
rich land.

Americas Prime Minister

~ LOU, SHIlSIldH fTlDST arrived
in the Cherokee Indian village OF
Great Tellico in what is now east
Tennessee. He had left in South
Carolina everything he owned ex-
cept some books and writing ma
| terials.
Priber soon won the friendship of
i the Indians by adopting their dress
and mode of living and insured their
further confidence by marrying the
daughter of Moytoy, chief of the
tribe. Then, as one of their own,
he taught the redskins to read and
write.
Having won their deep respect
and encouraged their dependence
upon his plans, he staged an inn
pressive ceremony. While war
drums thumped, he, the mild-man-
nered teacher, short in stature, un-
impressive in appe aranc e,
crowned" the tall and stately Moy-
toy Emperor" of the Kingdom
of Paradise" Systematically, he
created other titles for the lesser
chiefs and there was colorful cere-
mony as they paraded before the
throne of their "emperour. But,
most important of all, was Christian
Priber's own appointment as
prime minister"
His next step was his undoing. He
sent an official" communication
from Great Tellico, capital of the
Cherokee Kingdom" to the COVER
nor at Charleston telling him that
the English must leave America.
Not because they took him serious
ly, but because they feared French
influence, the English military au-
thorities captured Americas only
prime minister" and kept him pris-
oner in Frederick, Ga, until he
died.

poem. But when Synon Schermer.
hoorn, on the night of February 8.
1890, rode from Schenectady, N. Y.
to Fort Orange (Albanyl, he made
the most courageous ride in Ameri-
can history.
Symon was in the village of Sche-
nectady on the night it was de.
stroyed by the French and Indians.
He knew that the small garrison of
"a men could not resist very long
and that the attackers, flushed by
victory, probably would go on to
Fort Orange for more plumber.
1t was bitter cold and the snow
was coming thick and fast. Although
wounded in the thigh, he seized a
stray horse and started the 2O-mile
ride of warning. Schermerhoorn
rode for six hours plunging through
drifts that were impossible a few
hours later. In spite of his wound
and the severe weather and the fact
that he passed many farm houses
where others could have taken over
his mission, he kept courageously on
until he reached Fcrt Orange. In
front of the gates, gasping warning,
he collapsed.
The severe conditions under which
he made his ride are shown by the
fact that the French and Indians
were unable to continue their foray
and were forced to return to
Canada.
