What are We residents Of the res
eryation going to do about the pro-
posed SIT 900. recreation building
as was considered before the gener-
al council of the Blackfeet held last
Friday? $1,000. Of unexpended
PWA funds are available for this
greatly needed improvement of To-
cal conditions and yet according "a
current rumors. the suggestion has
been greeted with a rather cool re.
ception and contrary to that old
Browning fighting spirit Of better
ing the town and the community.
Not knowing authoritiyely, we
have been informed that the pro-
jected building, a recreation center,
will be erected provided the resi-
dents Of the residents Of the reser-
walton and particularly those of
Browning, undertake to provide the
equipment amounting to some five
or six thousand dollars. Whether
it should come from the tribe or
from the residents OF the town is an
open question.
The majority Of the Indians are
opposed to this measure and for but
one reason. Their contention is
that they fear that clubs, cliques.
etc. will be organized and the aver
age Indian, not belonging to club
or clique will be frozen out. even
though tribal funds may be nsed in
part or wholly. This phase of the
question can and will be ironed out
satisfactorily to all. Everyone, full
blood Indians and all, realize that
to make success of athletics one
must have competition brought on
by the formation of teams, clubs
and leagues. The Indians fear that
they may be ignored and that the
use of tribal funds for this
purpose would be just so much mon
ey wasted unless they can be shown
that it is for the benefit of all the
of the younger generation
with no regard to blood or nation.

Stronger Muscles

One of the first jobs in military
training is TO develop strong muscle.
A soldier needs great powers of en-
durance. 1t is OF the first import
ance that he be able to make efforts
and endure fatigue that would pros
trate the man engaged in ordinary
activities.
The soldiers are not the only ones
who need strong bodies. II would
be fine thing il all the young peO-
pie could get the idea from the
training of the men in the military
camps, that everybody should try
to develop greater muscular power.
During recent years there has been
too little interest in such physical
development.
1t was once very common for boys
TO take regular exercise for develop
ment of their muscles. Very many
of them would rig up some simple
gymnastic apparatus in their yards.
and practice constantly with pulley
weights or dumbells. or pull them
selves up on horizontal bars, and so
on. They prided themselves on their
powerful muscles. and used fire.
quently to crook their arms at the
elbow, and invite their friends to feel
of their muscles and see how strong
they were growing.
People should be urged to join
gymnasium classes whenever there
is a chance to take such exercises.
II is good work, not merely for the
young, but older folks would prOlong
their lives IL they would take this
regular exercises.
People also used TO pride them
selves on taking long walks to de-
velOp leg muscle. In these times
many Of them dislike to walk short
distances. and will jump into the
car if they have only a quarter of a
mile to so. Let US have a campaign
to develop strong muscles. and the
shocks Of life and strains of life
will not wear MS down so fast.

The Intelligent Worker

The newspaper joker has ons
about how the railroad agent n
Africa had been bawled out foI
doing things without orders from
headquarters. So one day he sent in
the following telegram: Tiger on
platform eating conductor. Wire
instructions"
II people are to win any measure
Of success. it is necessary to act
intelligently when new and unex-
pected situations arise. Some peo-
pie seem completely up against it If
they face some situation they never
met before.
If people can not somehow de-
velop that gift, and show common
sense when they face something
strange and noveIlNhsy would bet
ter resign themselves to taking or
ders for the rest Of their lives.

The Man Behind The Gun

THE man behind the gun" was
a phrase frequently heard during
previous wars. 1t takes more than
guns to make a successful army.
The gun is useless unless the man
behind that gun knows how to fight,
and unless he fights of his own free
will.
The troubles of the Italian Fascist
army in Greece are an illustration
that the man behind the gun makes
or breaks a war. The Italians are a
brave people, and they could fight
if they thought it desirable. Appar-
emily the Italian people are not SYM
pathetic with Adolf Hitler, and are
not interested in fighting to extend
his empire.
AS for the idea that they should
fight so that their country could
recover the world wide domain it
had in ancient times, that does not
probably interest them. They would
like to live quietly in their ancient
towns. and devote themselves to
raising olives and figs on the sunny
slopes of their mountains.
With those feelings you could not
expect them to fight with any en-
thusiasm. They probably know down
in their hearts that by picking a
foolish quarrel with England and
France. their country has been shut
up by a blockade that is squeezing
their food supply, and loading their
country with a terrible burden Of
debt.
When the American soldier has
had to fight, he has always fought
hard and cheerfulIy. so he has been
a powerful fighter. It takes years to
realize that power. If the man be-
hind the gun lacks a modern gun
with which to fight, his manly power
is crippled. And IL he is not trained
TO know what modern war means,
his power will waste itself against
better trained foes. The American
people propose to have the man be-
hind the gun well trained. and they
also propose that he be given plenty
of the best guns of all types with
which to fight II he has to. With
such training and equipment, the
chances he will have to fight are
rather small.

The Healthy Army

The United States army medica
corps has planned the greatest pro
gram in its history to protect thu
drafted men against disease. In pre-
vious wars bacteria have been g
worse threat to the soldiers than any
bullets of the enemy. Whether the
new army becomes involved in war
or not, it will at least be well pro-
tected against conditions that men-
ace health.
Assembling great bodies Of men
together in training camps would
naturally tend to promote the spread
of disease, unless special precau-
tiOns are adopted. One man coming
from some community where epi-
denies have got started, might infect
a whole barracks full of men, and
those infected might pass on the con-
tagiOn to many more outside their
group.
life that by inOculatiOns and vaccina-
tions. people can be protected
against the great plaques that for
merly swept over the country in sad
haryests of death. By introducing
the various vaccines into the body,
forces of resistance are set up by
which the human organism can
laugh at the grisly specter which !
once laid people low by the thou
sands.
The draftees. when they go home
after their training, will have finish
cd year Of personal experience in
producing physical health. This ex-
pcrience should influence their later
lives. They will see how Nature
pays a high reward to those who
obey the laws of health, so that they
would not after that be inclined to do |
those things which injure ones body. !
The sight of these healthy men
will be an incentive to men and wo-
men of all ages, to do the things
themselves that make for health, and
TO omit those habits that send people
out TO their daily work with tagging
footsteps and shaky nerves.

The Toy World

Happiness and self development The
chiId's toy is to him what tools are
to man. By his toy he imagines
himself as taking part in the work
and activity of the adult world.
When he plays with his little shovel
or his toy automobile, he dreams
he is big man, and is out in the
world doing remarkable things.
Thus the child through his toy
gains faith and self confidence. He
passes happy hours as he plays that
he and his toys are performing use.

ups. The child without toys is to be
pitied, and kind friends should see

MOI Wonnen

The census bureau predicts tha
the number Of men and women II
the country will be about equal b
the year 1876. It is a somewhat
surprising fact. that about los males
are born for every 100 female
births. Yet women average to live
three years longer than men. so
the two sexes promise to be equal in
numbers in the near future.
Why should women live longer
than men? Some will claim that the
men have to go out in the world and
accept regular hours Of toll. and
that many Of them are under physi-
cal or nervous strain because of
their employments Meanwhile, the
majority Of women, it may be claim
ed. work under the quiet conditions
of their homes, and do not have to
drill into line so strictly If they are
tired Or ailing.
Probably women are rather more
nervous and emotional than men, so
would seemingly suffer more from
those forms of strain. Men are more
likely to suffer from harmful habits
or vices which they have contracted,
and which create some physical de- |
terioration.
Not nearly so many women suffer
from the excessive use of liquor. The
women appear to have higher stand
lrds Of morality, and are rewarded
or this conduct by a greater degree
# physical well being.
The fact that 1O5 boys are born
or every 100 girls is one of those
mysteries of nature which will be
Iificult to explain. It might be
Ield that in the early history of
he race, when men were constantly
ghting, 1t took more men to keep
he sexes balanced. II the world is
till going to be constantly torn up
y wars. this need for more men will
Ontinue to exist.

Home Store Convenience

1t is wonderful thing for a
town when it has a good center of
retail trade such as is found in Mil
ford. When you can go into a store
right here at home and buy every
thing you need. a great service has
been rendered to you. II you exam
inc the stocks Of these stores, you
find that they are drawn from all
over the world. Every important
country is represented there. Spe-
cial emphasis is given to the fine
products Of Delaware on the theory
that every state should support its
home industries.
1t is wonderful thing to have all
these products brought to our doors,
and offered for sale at prices as
low as can be found anywhere, in
many cases lower still.
