against married women teaching

from States with a plentiful supply
of teachers and advise women now
pursuing teacher training to trans

there is a scarcity of instructors.

Father Sends Sons to
Army to Reimburse u. S.

ST. PAUL.-As Sam Lee read the
black headlines of war and Americas
preparedness efforts he began to
think about a young fellow who got
of ship from Europe in New York
harbor 80 years ago.
Friendless and a fugitive from
tyranny and revolution, as he put
it, the young Rumanian got job,
and because it was hard to say
..Leibowitz' he changed his name to
Lee.
He remained in New York, reared
a family, saved his money and be-
gan to enjoy the fruits Of an Amer
lean standard Of living. All this,
Sam Lee reflected upon as he read
the newspaper. He was, you see, the
young man of 50 years ago.
Recently there appeared at Fort
Smelling for enlistment two Well-bullt
I brothers, Milton, 81, and Gerald Lee,
%. Residents of Brooklyn, they had
come here at the behest Of their ia
Their, now a St. Paul furrier.

apache Is Linked to
Fatal Custer Trap
Geronimo Plotted DownfaH of
General, Is Story.

MEMPHIS. Sitting Bull was a
glory grabbing Indian politician and
it was Geronimo who plotted the
downfall of Gen George A. Custer,
according to Jack Perry, veteran
student of Indian lore.
History may credit Sitting Bull
with the massacre, Perry said, but
Geronimo, an Apache chief. was the
creator of the trap in which Custer
made his last stand.
my information came from Ge-
ronimo himself Perry said. sit
ting Bull was politician and, just
like a politician, he got credit for the
crushing defeat of Custer while
somebody else did all the work. Ge-
ronimo wouldn't talk about it much,
but from what he told me, could
tell he was one of the leaders in the
plot. They said they had planned the
trap for a year before springing it. :
Perry, who is one-fourth Cherokee
Indian, lives in Long Beach, Calf.
His colorful career in the old West in
~.udrd services as an outrider for
Unit ID States cavalry at the age OF
Ia and later as a Texas Ranger.
While he was peace officer IN
Arizona, Perry became acquainted
with Geronimo.
Il had been sent to arrest him and
about Il braves because they had
deserted a show Perry said. &c
ronimo took liking to me and gave
me riding blanket. I've still got
this and leather lunch basket he
gave me-
Perry's adventures have included
cowpunching, but the job he liked
best was that of an outrider. His
duties then were to establish contact
between cavalry headquarters and
companies of cavalrymen who were
out in the wilderness policing the In
dians.
