Americas national will and for the
splendid men who dedicate their

Apropos current world events, an
up-to-the-minute analysis of Amer
lean sea power has just been pre-
pared for the American Foreign
Service Journal of the State De-
partment by 1t. Comdr. Bernard L.
Austin of the public relations divi-
sion of the Navy. His article, en-
titled Our Navy Now and in Pros

The cold facts show clearly
that We are on our way to the
achievement of a feet that will
positively defend this country
from aggression, protect our COM
merce and our policies and as
sure security for our homeland.
May the peace be preserved for
us in a war-torn world. May
the ends of American diplomacy
ever prevail. But should diplo-
matte negotiations become bank
rupt and the first line of peace
break down, then the Navy, the
first line of defense, will as
suredly be ready"

old Faithful Geyser
Active Only 200 Years

Old Faithful, Yellowstone parks
best-known geyser, isn't the vener-
able graybeard that scientists have
always believed it to be. Studies
by DR.. c. Max Bauer, park natural
list, indicate that it is comparative
youngster.
Until DR.. Bauer and his associates
gave the cone thorough examina-
ton recently, the most reliable esti-
mate had placed the geyser's age at
10000 years or more. But the new
evidence tends to show that some
$500 years will have to be Topped
off that figure. For old Faithful has
been an active spouter for not more
than 200 years.
DR.. Bauer says that Giant and
Castle, on the other hand, have been
erupting for several thousand years,
and that several other Yellowstone
geysers have been active for at least
a thousand.
But, whether it celebrates its
birthday with 200 candles or 10000,
Old Faithful still draws the crowds
when, at &c minute intervals, it dis
gorges its 10. 900 to $4,000 gallons Of
boiling water in column $50 feet
high.

Real Medicine Men?

this medicine man business of the
redskins after all. DR.. Earl B. Fish

department of pharmacognosy will
argue that the antics Of the Indian
medicine man Of pioneer days was
not always only terrifying faces and
drum beating to drive away evil
spirits. Such incantations were sup
plemented by some 200 medicinal
plants and drugs. Many are widely
used for remedies today; that is,
all perhaps save one. That is
flint disk. It was obtained from
band Of Indians near lie Sueur,
Mimi, and was used by them to eff
feet cures for headaches by scrap
ing the skull The now-vanishing
American in his early days used
such drugs and herbs as the cas-
cara plant, bark Of the wild cherry
for expectorants and sedatives, sar-
saparilla; slippery elm, used in poul-
tees and as an emollient; spear
mint, juniper berry. wintergreen
and jimson weeds.
