 An informed source said that a sizable quantity of machine tools already are on the way to Russia from the United States, but the shipments have not yet satisfied the needs.
 Russian war orders, it was un- derstood, are largely for guns = light and heavy and ammuni- ton. These are being produced here in negligible quantities. The Soviet also has asked for thou sands of trucks, munitions pro- ducing machinery, and every available airplane.
 One official disclosed that both the United States and Brit ain agreed to rush the American built fighting planes to the So- viet, largely for morale purpos- es.

PLANTS FOR WAR NEEDS PLANNED

WASHINGTON, Sept. - Fed eral Lean Administrator Jesse Jones revealed that the Recon struction Finance Corporation has completed negotiations for construction of additional plant capacity to increase substantial ly available sources of aluminium and magesium.
 Jones said the company would construct a large aluminium plant in the vicinity of Tacoma, Wash, with a capacity of 30,000,000 pounds annually.
 Two Magnesium Plants
 He said new magnesium plants would be constructed at once in Plainsville, Ohio, and Freeport, Texas to provide additional an- ual capacity of 112,000,000 pounds of magnesium.
 Jones, said the new aluminium plants would bring to a total of 00,000,000 pounds annually American aluminium capacity. He added that he was working toward goal of 1,500,000,O00 pounds yearly.
 To Be Diverted to Russia
 The loan administrator reiter- ated at his news conference a statement made in London by British Prime Minister Winston Churchill that urgent Russian needs for war materials will force diversion of some supplies which would have gone to Eng land.
 Jones said it was logical that the United States would have to Spread the butter little thin ner" in rushing all possible aid to the Soviets in their struggle against Hitler.

Delegate Dimond Wants Islands From Russia

WASHINGTON = Authorita- tive sources say that the Soviet Union has requested war sup plies totaling $1,00o,OO0,0O0 in the United States and that 10 percent of the supplies will have been delivered within the next few weeks.
 This government has been able to meet all Russian requests for aviation gasoline with immediate deliveries, it was said. Some fight CT planes-originally built here for the British-already are in Russia and others are on the way.
 Medium bombers which the United States has promised the Soviet to meet the increasing pressure of German attacks have not yet been assembled for del- livery, but they are being allocat ed to the Red air force from cur rent production.
 While we have accomplished more than we expected at the outset of our efforts to help the Soviet" one official said, 'it is nothing to be elated about"
 It was recalled, however, that the United States was able to send the British only $75,OOO, 900 worth of war supplies during the first two months of the lend-lease program.
 Dimond Wants Islands
 Meanwhile, Anthony Dimond, Alaskan delegate to Congress, proposed that Russia turn over her strategic islands in the Pac- fife to give the United States com plete control of the northern ap- breaches to this continent.
 His recommendation followed disclosure by Secretary of State Cordell Hull that this govern ment is studying reports of Japanese annexation of group of small islands lying within 70 miles of the Philippines. These islands formerly had English names but new Japanese maps under scrutiny give them Japan csc names.
 Dimond felt that Russia should make her islands available Gin return for our help in her strug- gle against Germany" He added that these islands in Japanese hands, would create a potential threat to the west coast.
 ''The Boring Islands, which are geographically a part of the Am erican Aleutian chain, are so sit uated that they command the en trance to Boring Sea, the north ern approaches to Alaska and to the mainland of the United Stat es itself, Dimond said.
 "The Russians some time ago fortified these islands, with the aid of German technicians," Di- mond said. That was during the period of Russo-German collab- oration.
 "There are air bases, good naval base, and even submarine facilities located there. Now that we are supposedly fighting to- gether, Russia should show it's good faith by letting us have these islands for our mutual de- fense. Certainly, we have no de- signs against Russia"

SThe Delawares had been compelled
to acknowledge the Iroquois as their
superiors. They were granted peace
on condition that they put themselves

confine themselves to raising corn and
hunting, and no longer have the power
of making war. This is what the In

distinguish between historical truth
and Elusive fiction. There is, however,
reasonable scientific proof to confirm
Iroquois tradition that when in their
migration from the northwest, they
reached the eastern side of the Allie
gheny mountains, they found a great
nation, made up of populous tribes,
who lived in strong houses, in well
fortified towns, and cultivated much
land.
Though it is not definitely known
how amicabIe relations could have
been established between the Erie Ma
ton and the Seneca tribe, who dwelt
to the eastward, the Jesuit relation
of 1655-56 says there had long been
treaty between these tribes. This
same relation gives the occasion of
the beginning of the war which led
to the destruction of the Erie Nation,
and gave their dominions over to the
Iroquois: Thirty ambassadors of the
Cat Nation had been delegated, to
meet with commissioners of the SEN
eca, at Sonontouan, the Seneca CAPT
tai, to renew the treaty of peace.
Through an unfortunate accident one
of the men of the Cat Nation killed
a Seneca. This act so Infatuated the
Senecas that they massacred all ex-
cept five of the Erie ambassadors.
These acts led to a long and bitter
contest between the Erie and the con-
federated tribes of the Iroquois. The
Erie, assisted by the Hurons and
tribes of the Neutral Nation, assault
ed and burned a Seneca town, pursued
the Iroquois to the very gates of their
palisaded towns, and killed 80 of their
chief warriors.
The fury of the Iroquois was I'M
leashed. They collected a force of
1900 men who, armed with Dutch
firearms, were determined to wreak
vengeance upon the Erie. A young
Mohawk chief, who had been convert
ed by Father Simon LIE Nome, and
another chief of his tribe dressed like
Frenchmen in order to brighten the
Erie by the novelty of their raiment.
When this invading army had sur
rounded one of the Erie strongholds,
the converted chief called for a coun-
ell, and asked the besieged Erie to
surrender, lest they be destroyed, tell
ing them: "The Master of Life fights
for US; you will be ruined if you resist
Him." "Who is this Master of our
Lives ?" the Erie defiantly replied.
owe acknowledge none but our arms
and hatchets." This town, which the
Indians called Rique, was defended by
5000 to 1000 combatants, exclusive
of women and children. After a long
and bitter siege the resistance of the
Erie was broken, and the Iroquois
entered the fort and there wrought
such carnage among the women and
children that blood was knee-deep in
certain places" Six hundred Erie war
riors were forced to surrender and
were taken into the Iroquois country
to be adopted into their tribe.
Between the years 1866 and 1911
the Iroquois conquerors completed
their conquest. The Erie, Huron, Neu-
trails, and all the inhabitants to the
east of the Ohio were destroyed, dis
persed or led into captivity. Their

Potomac, on the northeastern border
of Mineral county, and in the vicini-
ties of Romney and Hanging Rock in
Hampshire county, mark the tradi-
tional sites of the last battles which
took place between the Catawbas and
| Delawares.
Kercheyal gives the occasion Of the
final struggle between these hostile
tribes, which, it is believed, was
fought at Hanging Rock: A large par
ty of the Delawares had invaded the
territory of the Catawbas, taking
great number of prisoners, and were
making their retreaf noueward Wh..
Icy reached Hal Ag Rock

Catawba warriors, close in pursuit,
discovered them, and threw a party
of men on the opposite side of the
river, another in front, and still an
other to their rear, with the rocks
making escape from the other side
impossible. A furious and bloody bat
tie ensued, and hundreds of the Della
wares were slaughtered. Kercheval
says:
Indeed, the signs now to be seen
at this place exhibit striking evidence
of the fact. There is a row of Indian
graves between the rock and the pub
lie road along the margin of the river,
from sixty to seventy yards in
length.

towns and villages were burned, their
fields laid waste, and their great for
ests left in desolate solitude.
From time to time we catch fleet
ing glimpses of wandering bands of
Erie refugees, but they never re-
turned to their old homes to take up
their residence, and for many years
there was not an Indian settlement,
village or camp Of any considerable
consequence within the borders of
what is now West Virginia.
The Iroquois, having purchased
these lands at the cost of so much
bloodshed, were jealous guardians
They had no desire to settle hers
themselves, but were wary of the
powerful confederacies of southern
Indians, lest they make their way up
the Cohongoruton6 and endanger their
settlements beyond the mountains.
lroquois scouts roamed the forests,
and if historical credence may be Civ
en- to tradition, many bloody battles
were fought in what is now Mineral
and Hampshire counties.
According to Samuel Kercheval,
early historian of the valley of Vir-
ginia," this area was used as a kind
of buffer territory for hostile tribes
of Delaware and Catawbas, who were
engaged in war at the time the region
was first known to the white man. He
says: "The author has seen and con-
versed with several aged and respect
able individuals who well recollect
seeing numerous war parties of the
Northern and Southern Indians pass
ing and repassing through the valley.
Several warrior paths have been
pointed out to him. One of them led
from the Cohongoruton (Potomac)
and passed little west of Winchester
southwardly."7
Kercheval further relates numerous
traditions of desperate conflicts waged
| here between the Catawba and Della
ware tribes. The Catawbas resided on
! the Catawba river in South Carolina.
| The Delawares resided on the Sus-
quehanna river in Pennsylvania, not
far west of the Allegheny mountains.
Down through the centuries the
Delawares had regarded themselves
Gas the councillors Of peace" Before
the coming of the white man, and the
Introduction of firearms by the Dutch,
his tribe had been known as the of
fetal keepers of the sacred fire of
peace, which, they believed, had been
handed to their Fire Builders" from
an altar beyond the horizon of time.
''Their passiveness," says Bancroft,
twas the degrading confession of their
1 subsection by the Five Nations, who
had stripped them Of their rights as
warriors and compelled them to en-
come part of the Iroquois confeder-
acy, and learning the use of firearms,
the Delawares appear to have thrown
off their peace-making propensities
and to have taken the warpath. They
made repeated invasions into the ter
ritory of the Catawbas, hoping to
prove to their conquerors that they
were "men," able to fight their own
! battles.

my husband, I am sure of that. She
IS giddy and perhaps shallow, but
she loves me. But she plays about
with Walter like a happy kid, and
he is beginning to feel that she is
the most important person in the
group.
eff he cleans the car, Nancy is
out at the garage laughing and help
ing. If he must run uptown to get
beer or see somebody, she dances
along. She listens to him; she laughs
at old stories.
"When Nancy first came both Wal
ter and l said repeatedly that she
brought life and brightness into the
house. She does help me; she can't
do enough for Junior; she is up and
downstairs like bird. It was a real
pleasure to me to have her and
darling little Jo-Anne. But when it
comes to the three of them going
off to movies, leaving the baby with
me; Walter Sprucing up in the mat
ter of hair-cuts and neckties: tele-
phone calls in which he would as
soon have Nancy answer as have
me answer; what Nancy likes to eat
and do his first consideration,-then
| get mad! Or rather, get blue and
diffident, afraid to ask Walter to do
anything for fear it interfere with
plans he and Nancy have made.
81 don't want to make a noun
tain out of a mole-hill I don't want
to lose my sister or my husband. Tell
me how to solve this problem wise
ly, without hurting anyone"
Bear the Burden.
Deedee, there isn't any immedi-
ate answer. This is one of the diff
cult times most of US have to en-
dure, sooner or later; time when
you have to admit another woman's
superior charm, beauty and oppor-
tunity, and bear it. The alternative
is to quarrel, destroy the friend
ship that now exists among you
three, and possibly lessen your hus-
bands affection and admiration for
you. He probably thinks of you as
a woman with common sense. To
burst out with jealousy of your Sis
ter would shock and disgust and dis
illusion him.
But you won't have to bear this
forever. Nancy doesn't want to mar
ry your husband. She's just playing
with him to keep her hand in. In
few more months she will be free
to find another mate, and then she
will settle down to real business, and
you will have the grateful Job of
consoling your husband for the
change in Nancy.
"She isn't bit like what she used
to be- he will complain, land it's
all that boob What she sees in him
is more than I can work outl But if
she's going to act like such fool
the sooner she marries him and set
ties down the better"
Your only cure, Deedee, is time.
But I would like to give a hint to
the husbands and wives who so
cheerfully take chances with the ga
cred and easily destroyed thing that
is married love and confidence. It
would be good idea for every mar
ried person to check up on himself
or herself, now and then. Ask your
self if the fattering friendship that
seems so harmless and so anus
ing to you is hurting your old mate.
Ask yourself if the person nearest
you has any reason to feel herself or
himself left out in the cold.
Love is a great responsibility. To
hurt ito repulse it, is no laughing
matter. 1t is my profound-if some
what old fashioned-conviction, that
one of the sins we pay for most bit
terly is the sin of throwing love
aside.
