an emergency. Arches similar to those encountered in bridge con- struction have been employed to give added strength and to mini mize stresses and strains.
 While remarkably strong and dependable, the Chrysler all-steel body is at the same time com paratiyely light in weight. Although the metal used in the body is heavier than usual the skill and experience of Chrysler Corporation engineers have enabled them to use this metal in such a way as to secure strength and lightness at the same time
 Modern manufacturing methods also contribute importantly to the safety of the Chrysler all-steel body. Use of the latest and most efficient type of hydraulic welding equipment practically eliminates the possibility of weakness devel- oping in a weld through faulty workmanship.
 The result of this combination of efficient manufacturing and seasoned engineering planning is a body that is strongly and scien- tifically braced and that can stand terrific punishment

thus was fixed equally upon friendly
and unfriendly forces.
The missionaries, of course, inter-
preted this attitude as a worship Of
the Devil.
Believed in Supernatural.
Underlying all this was the some
what nnystiS conception of an i'm
personal supernatural force which
permeates all Nature and animates
all phenomena which control the
destiny of man.
This force is called Mantle by
the Algonquin, Pokunt by the Sho-
shoni and brenda by the Iroquois.
It might be described as akin to
the life principle.
Early white travellers, not COM
pretending the real nature of this
idea, usually translated it as "The
Great Spirit"
The fabric of the Indians religion
was woven about his intimate OBJ
servations of Nature. Each day he
saw the sun rise in the east and
set IN the west, obliterating the stars
which guarded the heavens at night.
He noticed the regularity of the
waxing and waning of the moon. He
watched the procession Of the euui-
noxes with the accompanying COM
pick phenomena of the seasons.
With the seasons were correlated
the regular migrations of animals,
birds, and fish, and the annual cycles
In the growth of plants and trees.
Apparently all American Indians
observed the solstices and used them
as a basis for dividing the year.
The alteration of day and night and
the changes Of the moon were no
ticed and employed as units for
measurement of time
The year was separated into sea-
sons in accordance with conspicuous
natural phenomena or seasonal de-
velopments which were significant
to the Indian and which affected his
manner of life.
The division of the seasons nat
uraIy differed with the latitude and
the mode of life of the Indians. Ag-
ricultural tribes stressed different
phenomena from those that the hunt
ing or gathering tribes did.

English Alliance With Indians

Balance of Power
Against French.

Prepared by National Geographic Society,
Washington. D. C.-WNU Service.
The conquest of the New
World by the Spaniards is
story of the quest for gold. The
conquest of northeastern North
America is a story of the rival
ry of the French, the English
and the Dutch for control of the
fur trade.
Since furs were to be obtained
only through friendly alliance with
the natives, the three European ri
walls were not long in aligning them
selves in accordance with the nat
ural enmities among the Indians.
When Champlain undertook the
colonization of the st. Lawrence re-

fury, it was only natural that he
made friends with the Algonquins
who then occupied that territory.
This alliance inevitably brought
the French into conflict with the
Iroquois, the hereditary enemies Of
the Algonquians.
What Champlain had no means Of
knowing was that the agricultural
and semi-sedentary Iroquois pos
sessed a genius for political and mil
