WORLDS FAIR TRIP
NOT BIG SUCCESS

Growers Whalen's hospitality
TO congressional visitors at New
York's Worlds fair will probably
cost him a cool $3.50, 600. Capitol
Killers are quite disguised with
the treatment they received.
Although accustomed to Pull
mans on such junkets. they and
their wives had 10 travel in day
coaches. New York officials and
guides deserted them within
few hours after they reached the
fair grounds. and they had TO
wander around like babes in the
woods. A glass Of beer cost
them so cents. Food. in their
opinion. was exorbitsntly high
and of very poor quality. There
were not enough seats or benches
for rest of their weary legs
In return for such hospitality
Mr.. WhaIen wants an additional
appropriation Of $500. 900. He
will be lucky If he gets paltry
$3.50. 900.

Roman Nose, and Face

With magnificent assurance Achile Starace, secretary
Of ays Fascist party has ordered the Roman cut off
to spite the Brazilian face.
In other words he has ordered all ableboded Fascist to
cease drinking coffee or cut down it, to punish those
coffee-producng countries which, in selling coffee Italy,
would like money payment and not whatever goods Italy
happens to be able to from the munitions drive at the
moment.
This WILL perhaps annoy the producing countries
though why Italy should wish to do this can't guess We
suspect that far annoyed will be the
members of the party. 49,
But perhaps the more highly placed members Of that
organization will find way get their coffee anyway 1t
will be the plain housewife who finds almost impossible
to get any coffee the markets anyway who will feel the
pinch, usual.

SATURDAY, MAY 20, 1899

Adverse signs dominate in the
horoscope for today. according
to astrology. The morning is an
suspicious time for paying debts
and for dealing with bankers.
Under this rule of the stars
correspondence with women may
be risky, especially where love
letters are concerned. Mis-
understandings are easily pro-
duced and friendships ended
while this sway continues.
Girls may meet with disap-
pointments, for the configura-
ton is unfavorable to their am
billions. College students should
be cautious not to neglect small
details.
Employers may find the day
test to patience, for workers
may be careless or Indifferent
while the CONFORMATION prevails.
Efforts to replace women with
men may be persistent at this
time.
Accidents may be numerous
today. Falls may be sustained
by elderly persons. Handling of
firearms is likely to be more
than usually dangerous among
hunters.
The evening should be rather
lucky for speakers or enter
tanners. Critics will be kindly
and audiences responsive. Dis
cussions of public issues will en-
gage wide attention.
After this month economic
conditions in Germany may i'm
prove, the seers forecast. and
for that reason nations hostile
to Hitler should avoid inviting
trouble.
Quick settlement of differ
ences affecting the international
relations of the United States
and foreign powers is prognosu-
Gated. In case of armed con-
flict victory would be speedily
attained. the stars promise.
Persons whose hirthdate ii is
have the augury of year of
lucrative steady advancement.
Travel is indicated for many and
pleasant days may be expected
In routine employment.
Children born on this day
probably will be diplomatic and
good natured. but there may be
tendency toward indireetness
and secrecy. Many of these
subjects Of Taurus have Gemini
characteristics, for they are on
the eusp of the two signs.

Your HEALTH
BY DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN

I'm dead tired tonight. John.
I've been running up and down
stairs all day long"
Many are the times that you,
John Husband, have heard that
plant from your wife at the din
ner table. Mrs. Wife had a JUS
tifiable grumble, but she prob
ably didn't know what was hap
pening to her blood pressure
every time she climbed those
stairs.
For one thing. the faster and
oftener you climbed those stairs,
the higher went your blood pres
sure. Recent experiments were
tried on women who ran up
three flights in As seconds. Their
blood pressure rose an average
of from 80 to 40 points.
Blood pressure varies accord
ing to the time when 1t is
measured. 1t is different at the
time the heart has contracted in
order to force the blood into the
blood vessels than it is when the
heart has relaxed just before
squeezing down on the content
of the blood to force it out.
Although it may remain at
definite level for long period
of time during your life. it grad
ually mounts from childhood up
to old age. Average pressures
are: 5 years. go; 10 years, 100;
20 years and up, 40 to 120.
These pressures are for the
heart contracted.
Blood pressure becomes less
during sleep or rest, increases
with exercise. 1t may also in
crease after meals and after in
jeetions of various glandular
materials. II mounts during ex-
element particularly in anger.
and may even shoot upward
with severe mental work.
Exercise of strength, such as
weight lifting. will raise the
blood pressure. II falls when
the exercise is finished.
In exercises of speed, such as
a fast game of tennis or a dash

blood pressure rises somewhat
less rapidly and returns to nor

such as So holes OF golf. long

the pressure viii not rise as
high as il does in speed exer-
cises and at the end Of the en-
durance grind, may actually be

Those facts have been verified
by tests Of men and women and
by carefully controlled studies of
soldiers on the march.
Apparently training does little

Exercises OF m ak N L m

Sseaiawea Saves Lives
OF Lewis and Clark
Argues Black Arrow Out
OF Murder Plot
But Gets BLACK Sand"
For Indian Guns
ON several occasions after
" Sacajawea had rescued the
scientific and other valuable
equipment of the Lewis and
Clark expedition when one Of the
boats capsized. the In dis n
woman saved the members Of
the party from even more seri-
Gus consequences. Twice she
prevented a massacre Of the en-
tire party.
The party had arrived at the
camp of the Shoshones or Snake
Indians az they are referred to
in come of the Lewis and Clark
journals. from which she had
been stolen by the Mandan In
dams. Sacajawea had been well
coined by her own people and
she had helped in the negotia-
tons of the white men TO OBJ
tain horses and other supplies
for the overland trip that was
to start from near what is now
Fort Benton. Sacajawea was
very happy.
Then one night her brother,
Black Arrow, came to her and
disclosed a plot to kill all the
members of the expedition, in
Guiding Charboneau, and take all
their supplies.
iHtN udNt u1dHN R"tS
and much black sand (gup
powder) and little hard
balls" said Black Arrow.
with them we can fight
our enemies and they will
have no chance against us
with their bows and arrows.
Then we can hunt the buff
falO and have much meat.
We will never suffer with
hunger again and our en-
emies will be afraid of us.
We will kill your man, too,
and you can again live with
your people and be happy"
SAGA "a wea was Mortified.
Members of the expedition. par
ticularly Red Hair (Lewis) and
Long Knife" Clark, had be-
come her friends. They would
not let her do any of the heavy
work in camp. She would as
soon think of killing her own
people as being a party to the
plot disclosed by her brother.
"Oh, brother, Black Arrow,
you must not do this thing" she
implored. These people are
my friends and they will be your
friends. They will not take
your lands nor harm you in any
way. They are going to find
the Everywhere Salt Water
and build a road SO that other
white people can go there too"
"YOu can't fool me about
white people," Black Arrow
replied. "They come to
take the Indians lands and
drive them from the hunting
grounds. 1t Is right that
we should kill them as we
would our other enemies.
We must have their black
sand and guns and we can
not get them unless we kill
all the men,"
Sacajawea came back with
this:
Gwen so brother Rlack Ar

row, what will you do when
the black sand Is gone. The guns
will be useless then, just ike
those YOU have now. When the
traders gave you guns ana
black sand. what did you do
You fought with your enemies
for a little while and you killed
a few buffalo. Soon the black
sand was gone and your guns
we're no good. Your enemies
came back and overpowered
you and you could not hunt the
buffalo. II you do this thing
you will be powerful for a while
but what will you do when the
black sand is gone again >"
That was poser for Black
Arrow. He knew what Saca-
jawea said was true. The black
sand would not last forever and
without it the guns were no
good. But there was hate in
his heart for the white men be-
cause of the crimes committed
by some of the few traders who
had come among them. He
thought all white men were
alike. and he had a particular
dislike for Charboneau. As he
pondered, SAGA awea again
spoke:
Red Hair and Long Knife
are good and powerful men.
they will fight and they may
kill you. If you kill Them
many more white men Will
come and when they find
that YOU have killed their
brothers. they will wait until
the black sand Is gone and
then they will kill you. II
II Is black sand only that
YOU want ! will ask Red
Hair and Long Knife to give
YOU some so that you may
hunt the buffalo"
Black Arrow went away un-
convinced but promising TO do
nothing until he had talked with
SAGA jawea again. In the mean
time Lewis and Clark continued
to trade with the Indians, IN
GLIDING Black Arrows family.
and when he asked for black
sand" they gave him some.
They did not try to cheat as
the other traders had done.
Sacajawea was quick to take
advantage of the situation and
spoke something like this:
ooh, brother Black Arrow,
don't you see that the white men
are your friends? They have
given you black sand and have
not tried to cheat. You can now
hunt the buffalo and have plenty
of meat for winter. When other
white men come they will know
that Red Hair and Long Knife
are your friends and they also
will give you black sand E"
At last Black Arrow was
convinced by Sacajawea's
arguments. He promised
that the party would not be
molested. In few days the
whites and Indians parted
on friendly terms, and Lewis
and Clark went on to ex-
plOre the land out of which
was to come the state Of
Washington and the golden
jubilee to be celebrated in
Tacoma next July.
