of the u. s. Postal Inspectors

The law which makes it illegal to

the downfall Of many a racketeer
who met his match when he made
the mistake of using the mail in
some plan to dupe the public and
suddenly found that the Postal In
spectors were after him, or had
caught up with him.
The Inspectors lead a hard and
busy life. since in many cases the
victims believe so firmly in the

THE LOON FEATHER
Ry lola Fuller

THE Loon Feather" most recent
winner of the famous Hopwood
Award, is a novel of such universal
appeal that it transcends the cate
CORY of historical fiction.
1t is the story of Oneta, daughter
of Techmseh, and granddaughter
of the chief of the loon tribe of the
Ojibways. 1t takes place during
the fur trading days on Mackinac
Island, known to the Indians as
the Turtle, and a trading center
where the Long Knives" the In
dams, the voyageurs and fisher
men, lived in teeming proximity
during the summer moons.
From early childhood Oneta's
destiny brought her in contact with
the white settlers. She learned
French from a BLACK Coat" in a
mission school and gradually her
life was bound to the lives of the
people who adopted her: Pierre
and Grandmere, with their back
ground of the Ancient Regime, and
her own half-brother Paul. Yet it
was the constant effort of Tecun-
seh's daughter to keep the best of
her own heritage while absorbing
the best of the white mans world.
AS long as it was possible.
Deep woods of an Indian child's
playground, "the seas of sweet
water" where the lakes meet, the
wash of waves on pebbles. the first
robins significant song, the snow,
the ice, the smell of wood smoke
against this background unfolds
the personality of Oneta and the
beautiful love story which she tells
in her own words. And behind the
whole book lies the authors under
standing of heart-breaking con-
flicts arising, when neither friend
ship nor love are sufficient to
smooth differences produced by
alien backgrounds, and in her
knowledge of the truth that when
there is likeness of spirit, two
people are of one kind.

Does History Repeat Itself?-
We often have been told that history repeats
ITSELF and recent events cast shadow of doubt
Ger that statement. Napoleon yes, and Alexander
the Great both attempted to conquer the world
without thought Of other peoples rights of self
government. Riding roughshod small lands of
Europe today is Hitler and his Nazi hordes, with
tery amazed, unable to protect themselves. Unless
Sweden, Holland, Belgium and the Balkans may in
turn suffer similar fates Of other conquered nations
While we in America wish to remain neutral we
cannot view without a great degree Of alarm and
uncertainty this scourge which threatens and which
has engufed free peoples of the old world It looks
as though nothing short Of world domination would
satisfy Hiters lust for power Others have tried it
but were unsuccessful. We hope history repeats
itself!

all WPA checks included the following: mo one
either connected with or not connected with the
WPA can get you fired change your wages be-
cause YOU belong to or do not belong to political
party 1t is against the law for anyone to ask you
for money for any political campaign" WPA ad-
mnstrators have been instructed to use every effort
to enable project workers to exercise their voting
privileges without loss of pay, said dispatch
issued from Washington Monday. An order of that
kind indicates that some such sort of thing may
have been tried at some time other. Under
Constitution there is such thing "the right of
franchise" by which every man may vote as he
pleases, regardless of whether he gets his check
from the government or from individual sources.
That is thing to remember VIXEN talk of
