WARFARE against the Indi-

was planned on the basis of the
governors experience in the
Mexican war and his own good
Judgment. Forces on Puget
Sound were augmented by
eighty snohomish Indians under
Chief Pat-ka-nim. One of the
first battles in which the Sno-
homish were engaged was on
the Green river where they en-
countered and vanquished force
of Inequalities led by Chief
Leschi who was to become the
scape goat or a sacrifice for the
lives of settlers lost in a war
which was entirely due to mis-
understandings.
When the volunteers were
not fighting they were building
bloekhouses and stockades. Early
in the campaign they had built
blockhouses known as Fort Al
den, above, and Fort Tflton be-
low Snoqualmie falls. Other
blockhouses on the Sound were
built on Bellingham Bay, Whid-
by island, and at Point Wilson
near Port Townsend. Patrols
in small vessels and canoes
kept watch over the lower
Sound settlements. Regulars
from Fort Steilacoom and Fort
Vancouver operated wherever
the need seemed greatest
Also contributing to the
defense of the Sound settle
ments were the United
States steamships, Massa-
chusetts and the Decatur;
coast survey steamer, Ac-
tive; and the revenue cutter,
Jeff Davis, sailing vessel,
and one of the last of her
class. The strength of the
naval force was as much
due to the Over-powering
awe in which the Indians
regarded the vessels as In
their gunnery. They also
proved Of greatly value in
moving supplies and troops.
Motorized equipment which
participated in the display at
Fort Lewis the other day con-
trasts sharply with the facili-
ties used by the pioneer army
on or near the present Fort
Lewis. Having established
chain of blockhouses south of
the Fort Lewis reservation, the
next thing was to provide sup
plies so that each small gerri-
son could withstand seige.
Under the protection of
Nemesis mounted rangers,
other troopers built roads,
some of them through heavy
forest. On certain day
thirty OK teams and wagons,
three yokes to the team,

the settlers, passed over the

days supply for the entire
line of defense.

- RAISING A FAMILY - Nothing Thrills Children Like Discovering a Touch Of GlamOr In Their Dad

The ship circled, strengthened, and landed right before them. The first one out was father.
 He looked so different, too. Not like the man who came home to find fault and then fall asleep over his paper. He was now one who crisply told the porter about his bag, and then crossed the space between them with the sure stride of the conquer or. The boys were almost too awed to speak to him. It was like meeting king.
 Of course he had not changed. He was the same good old dad he had always been. But something hereto fore hdiden to his children came through in those first moments o1 meeting, and it was good for them te see it.
 Lohengrin might not have irn- pressed Elsa half as much if he had gotten off a street car, instead of a swan. And so it was with these boys. They beheld another picture of their father, framed in glowing colors.
 "GsamOur Parents"
 Naturally the parent who has tenn porarily lost contact with the family cannot be doing stage stunts to re- gain admiration. Life is too worka- day and hand-to-mouth to be study ing new dramatic roles every week or month.
 Yet, there is something to think about in this little episode. Parents have many latent qualities that their children do not suspect. Perhaps mother has not touched a tennis racquet for half dozen years; may be dad can still bat a good average Or it may be a solo in concert or part in the church play that takes them out of character.
 Whatever it is, children are always proud to see their parents do some thing different. Let us call them glamour parents"

short on temper. All of which wor- ried mother considerably, for the children were getting out of hand and she could no longer depend on his cooperation.
 Then he had to go away on a business trip. He was gone for two weeks. At last came a telegram saying he was flying home and would arrive at six in the morning.
 Suddenly mother had an idea. The boys were airplane crazy. They had never been in one or known anyone who had. So she got them up at five, drove out to the field, and in the rays of the rising sun, there came the great silver ship out of nowhere.
 Daddy was on that ship, riding the sky like some mythical hero Their eyes were beyond describing Mother could hardly bear the emo- tional flood that filled her own heart. How, then, must the boys feel she thought?

 If you've been thinking all along that the only important function of 8 foundation cream or lotion is to make powder cling to the skin, you ought to do little experimenting. With the schoolgirl look" all-im- portant, this is indeed the season to discover that g good foundation can hide ne lines and conceal en- larged pores until your treatments to correct them begin to take effect.
 If your skin is dry, try one of the slightly moist, so-called films that come in all shades to match every complexion. Learn to blend it smoothly and evenly. Apply cream rouge over it, of course, and when you powder, powder gener- ously, pressing quantities of it into the foundation. In few minutes, brush off the excess with a powder brush or clean piece of cotton.
 Match Skin Tones
 If your skin is oily, one of the powdery-looking, rather than creamy lotions may be satisfactory. Shake well before using and pat on with a bit of cotton. Let the lotion dry before applying rouge. Inciden- tally, in warm weather, dry rouge sometimes is more satisfactory on oily skins than cream varieties.
 Whichever type of foundation you choose, be sure that it does match the tones of your skin. If it's darker than your complexion, streaked appearance is likely to result. If lighter, you're apt to look positively whitewashed.
 Also, always apply it from base of throat upwards to hairline. Nothing is more incongruous than a smooth, perfectly made up face above a neck which obviously has not even been powdered. Think of your throat as part of your face not just something to be creamed at night and made up only for formal occasions.

In the warm springtime, pop goes the cap of the soft drink bottle. There are over 5000 bottling plants making approximately 13 billion half pints of carbonated beverages year in the United States.
 The usual bottle of pop contain about 90 calories, but the vitamin content is generally negligible or nil. The fact that drink is named after a fresh fruit is not a guar antee that the drink contains the juice of that fruit.
 In fact, if it is pop you buy. the odds are in favor of your getting sweetened water favored either with an imitation flavor made from some coal-tar derivation or with fresh fruit concentrate which has long since lost the vitamin values of the original fruit.
 Imitation Flavors Largely Used
 Raspberry, strawberry and other favored sodas and pops, the in-' variable companion of every base- ball game and carnival, are usually imitation fruit beverages Some times a small portion of true fruit flavor is used in them, but the chief ingredients in their beverages bases are sugar, syrup, synthetic colors," reports the Consumers Guide, published by the Department of Agriculture.
 ''In the case of lemon pops or other citrus beverages of this type, the flavor is sometimes derived from the peel of the fruit"
 When the boast is made that & soft drink is 'bracing" or will give one "pick up," the stimulating effect of the non-alcoholic drink may be due to the presence of caffeine, the same stimulant found in coffee and tea. To some people the presence of caffeine in drink is desirable: others may prefer to which do not have this stimulant.
 Effervescihg bubbles in a soft drink are due to carbon dioxide gas which under pressure has been instilled into the water. Carbon dioxide in carbonated water is com- pletely harmless and should not be confused with it's poisonous chemical relative, carbon monoxide. con- cludes the Consumers Guide.

EXERCISE PREVENTS AND
 CURES HERNIA

Hernia (rupture, breach) is mere ly a bulging or protrusion of a por- ton of a structure or an organ beyond its natural wall or boundary, like an inner tube bulging or pro- truding through weak part of a tire casing.
 Navel hernia in infants is a pro- trusion at the umbilicus. A small umbilican button generally becomes cured spontaneously by the time the infant is two or three years old, especially if the bulging is prevented by suitable belt with soft sponge rubber pad covering the button. The protrusion is through weak place in the abdominal wall through which the umbilical cord carried nutriment (blood to the embryo be- fore birth.
 In men inguinal (groin hernia is most common, the protrusion occur ring through the weak place in the Flower part of the abdominal wall through which the testics descends from the abdomen shortly before birth and the blood vessels, nerves and duct pass from testis into the abdomen.
 In women femoral hernia is most common, the protrusion occurring through weak place where vessels, nerves, lymphatics and ligament of the uterus pass from the pelvic cavity into the thigh.
 The main seat of the weakness in all hernias is in the voluntary. muscles of the affected region. If the muscles are flabby the pro- trusion tends to increase gradual ly. If the muscles are kept in good tone, resilient or vigorous by proper exercise, the protrusion tends to de- crease gradually, and if the hernia is not too large to begin with or too long neglected or irreducible (that is, not even temporarily corrected by manipulation it is always req sonable to hope for ultimate cure from (a) efficient truss or other means of support and (b) regular performance of exercises adapted to the type of hernia and the individ- ual condition.
 Support is much more important, in the cure of hernia by any means (injection, operation, truss, exer- cise) than is ordinarily realized. For example, after any method of treatment is once undertaken, talk ing off the truss or other support for even a few minutes may mean that all the treatment up to that moment has gone for naught, for a single protrusion of the hernia may break down all the adhesions or natural barriers so far gained to- ward the ultimate cure, and fresh start must be made.
 It is not only unnecessary but un- safe to attempt any kind of exercise without wearing truss or other sup port or supporting the hernia care- fully with one or more fingers of one hand while doing the exercise.

SAA AAAA~es l6IL-IldIlUcu III England? Does the woman, in- stead of the man, do the retriev- ing?
 Not at all. Mrs. Churchill's un- self conscious courtesy is just an example of how truly gracious person often finds it better manners to break the rules of etiquette than stiffly to follow form.
 Our own First Lady does the same thing, when the rules get in the way of common sense.
 And so does any truly consider ate person.
 But there are plenty of women in the world who sit and wait for their husbands, or escorts, to get out of car in the pouring rain, and run clear around to the other side to open the door for them.
 When, if they had a real under standing of manners, instead of parrot-like knowledge of the rules they would hop out unaided and let the DOT man slide through and keep dry.
 Manners, as they are set down in etiquette books, are pretty good rules to follow generally.
 But the person who hasn't enough of sense of humor, enough judgment, and enough self-assur- ance to break rule when it is just a plain nuisance is in danger of being as much of a bore as the per- son who hasn't any manners at all.
 However, when you do find oc- casion to break rule, do it without a self-conscious apology, calculated to let the other fellow know you know better. Especially forego the old, old one, T know the etiquette book wouldn't approve of this, but Copyright 1889, NEA Service, Incl

SHOE GROOMING

For economy,s sake as well as good grooming, keep shoes on shoe trees when not being worn. And buy shoe trees that approximate the shape and size of your foot. Keeping the heels straight will also keep the shoes in shape. Suedes need daily brushing. Frequent polishing keeps feathers soft and flexible.
