Can you conscientiously condone
such practices?
Rumor has it that Mr.. Brown re-
ceived some kind of a special dis
pensation from your office authoriz-
ing him to collect these fees, the
same to be charged against his an
nual leave. fail to see the point,
and question the right of your office
or any other office in making such
a diSpensation, as such procedure
is contrary to all our laws and re-
gulations. The public will not stand
to have the laws outraged and flout-
ed in such a manner even though
Washington did give him the ne
cessary dispensation by winking at
the law or condoning the offense
Certainly the Blackfeet were not
consulted about this and they are
vitality interested.
am requesting that you make a
thorough investigation of these
charges and in making your reply,
please send carbon copies to Sena-
tors Wheeler, Frazier, King and
Chavez as they are receiving cop
les of this letter.
In closing, want to assure you
that am not after Mr.. Browns job
but do question his right to sit
on the Tribal Council and at the
same time be regularly employed
by your office and subject to the
dictation, orders or influences OF
his superiors. You must admit that
in controversial cases between your
office and the tribe no man alive
can express his free will as it is pos
sible that in SO doing, his job may
prove but memory, and Mr.
Brown necessarily must hang onto
his job.
Your early reply will be appre-
ciated.

explain that there ale certain
areas, notably along the Atlantic
seaboard, where smallpox is IS
rare a disease as 1t is 'in the most
advanced of the Western Euro
pean nations"
In the six New England States,
and New Jersey, Pennsylvania,
Delaware, and Maryland--which
have a combined population of
more than $4,000, 000--only IA
cases have been reported since
1888. In four states--Maine, Mass

Jersey--not single case was re-
ported during hte years 1934-1939.
1.-The stigma of tolerating small
pox," the StatisticianS say, "is
largely confine dto the North
Central Sattes and to those lying
west of the Mississippi River, a
region where characterization pro-
paganda is rife and where Snort
sighted opposition to vaccination
is most strongly entrenched. OF
the 10,059 cases reported in the
entire country last year, 9,494, or
"a per cent, occurred within this
area, whereas the inhabitants of
these States comprised only so
per cent of the total population"
Increases Analysed
The statisticians say that at
least 10 States reported for small
pox in 1899 an "excess incidence
ranging from 80 to more than 400
per cent above the annual aver
age for the preceding five years"
For instance, Ohio reported 637
cases, as against a five year aver
age of only 11S, while correspond
ing figures for Indiana were LAST

Iowa, 1858 and 721; Oklahoma,

has reported a total of 1878

Dog Dies - Victim
Lives to Enjoy
"Last Laugh"

"Jiggers" Palladino, deputy dog
warden of the City of waterbury,
was on duty today as usual, at
tending to his one hundred and
one duties. "Jiggers," however, was
blissfully unconscious of the fact
that he has presented the health
department with problem. 1t has
vet to be decided whether the
city should ship "Jiggers" to Hart
ford or to hold a post mortem
probe of a recent incident.
Here's the story in brief. 1t
makes interesting reading during
these proverbial dog days"
"Jiggers" as deputy warden was
sent to investigate a dog scare IN
the east end section of the city.
He got his mutt all right, but
not until "Jiggers" had suffered
several bites and scratches. The
animal in defense of its rights
refused the rough "habeds corpus
notice or tactics employed by the
dog warden and staff.
"Jiggers" had to be doctored up
as a result of the ARRAY. The dog
was placed under surveillance
and the incident was officially
recorded.
But there's P. S. to this little
story. The dog died today!
The problem: Should the dog
head or "Jiggers" be sent to Hart
ford for the usual official inquest?
II am not mad about being
bitten" said Jiggers today. and

cense to get mad either. was

NURSES PROGRAM

The need for public health nurs-
ing services is as great In summer
as during other seasons Of the year
despite the fact that there are fewer
cases of pneumonia and some Of the
other communicable diseases, Haze
v. Dudley, r. NJ, director of the
Bureau Of Public Health Nursing
said today in the weekly broadcast
of the state department Of health
In those communities where there

voted to teaching health. In some
sections of the state where the in
f1uex of summer vacationiSts in

quests for nursing service are even
greater than during the winter.
The educational aspects of the
public health nursing program Is
important In helping to teach peo-
pie how to live healthier lives, Miss
Dudley explained. This Is part of
each visit the nurse makes to the
sick but many visits are made pure
ly In the interest of preventing ILL
ness and helping people to attain
an option state of health. Through
the summer parents are advised to
have children examined by the
family physician so that they will
enter school with defects corrected

Named for rivers in Pennsyl-

Until the depression years follow
ing 1929, the ships carried capa-

through Lakes Erie, st. Clair,
Huron and Superior, and RETURN.
Ports of call were Cleveland, De-

Marie, Houghton, Mich, and Du-
luth. During the Worlds Fair
years at Chicago, the Juniata and
Octorara called at the Windy City
and Milwaukee on weekly Lake
Michigan schedules.
But with the exception Of the
Century Of Progress Exhibition
seasons, lake cruise revenues
dwindled steadily as automobile
travel increased in popularity. Fares
were cut drastically to meet increas-
ing water and highway competition.
No longer did affluent families make
annual cruises; instead, passenger
agents sought to encourage stenog-
raphers and school teachers to take
advantage Of bargain trips.
New Code Fatal Blow
To curtail expenses, the Tionesta
was kept out of service in 1895.
The following year came the MORO
Castle fire disaster OF the Jersey
coast, and following this sea trag-
edy were imposed new Federal
regulations governing installation
Of shipboard safety devices.
To meet these modern require
ments would have meant extensive
and costly alteration of the three
lakes ships. Confronted with this
the G.L.TC. withdrew
from the passenger field to con-
centrate on operation of It's profit

Drastic Move of Japanese
Will Frustrate Plans of

United Press Staff Correspondent

Toyko, Aug. 7.-(UP)-Drastic
control of all foreign schools IS
planned by the new government as
part of its national renovation pro-

AS the newspaper Hochi put 1t,

Illustrate the educational COLOMBIA
ton which Great Britain and the
United States have been attempting
for many years"
About 100 schools sponsored or
managed by foreigners would be
affected, and it was reported that
all would be compelled to transfer
control to Japanese subjects If they
wanted to continue to operate. ~
Among the schools affected would
be the Episcopalean University OF
st. Paul and the Methodist Aoyama
Gakuin, both founded in 1874, and
the American school in Japan.
Hochi said that operation OF the
schools under present conditions, es-
pecially as most of them observed
the religious practices of their spon-
sors, were now considered incom-
patible with the basic policies of the
empire.
A certain mission school, the
newspaper said, compelled its STU
dents to pray for the victory of a
certain nation hostile to Japan.
The foreign office declined COM
ment on developments resulting from
the arrest of Britons in Japan and
