CHICAGO, Jan. 10 R -
Mid-year examinations slowed
down the Big Ten basketball
race to four games tonight and
three Saturday but included was
a weekend meeting of Illinois
and Minnesota, currently the
No. ! and No. 2 quintets in the
league.
The Gophers will play the
downtrodden Chicago Maroons
on the midway tonight and
every hope Of picking up their
fifth victory in six games. Illi-
nois will be shooting for its
fifth triumph in as many starts
against Iowa.
Should both the Gophers and
the Illini win, their Saturday
battle would increase in inn
portance. A Minnesota decision
over Illinois would vault the
Gophers into the lead. An Illi-
nois victory would prove the
strength of its sophomore team
and keep the present leaders
in front we'll toward the half
way mark in the race.
MLNI CONCERNED
Illinois, however, was slightly
more concerned with its clash
with Iowa tonight at Champaign
than it was with Saturdays en-
counter. Although n e Hawk

games-the most recent by 81

they have potent offensive

nights meeting with Chicago as
a soft touch. The Maroons have

WILDCATS WOUNDED
Northwestern, wounded by
49-46 defeat Saturday by Wis

oppose Ohio State, which step
ped out of four-game losing
streak by nosing out the Hawk
eyes by two points. Michigan,
now beaten four times in five
engagements, will be in Madison
to play the rejuvenated Badgers
in tonight's fourth game.
Saturdays hall of fame:
No Illinois player appeared
long enough against the Mar

Phillip was the top scorer with
IL points.
Jimmie Sims provided the

bury Police department in matters of traffic congestion, parking space, public safety and other correlated 1 problems.
 i Civilian Defense The Chamber of Commerce was strongly active in the formation of the Waterbury Defense Council two years ago, when it became apparent that world conditions pointed to the need for such and organization Formed to coordinate all efforts aimed toward protection of civilian 1 life and property, the council is familiar to every Waterbury today. The secretary of the Chamber of Commerce has served as secretary and coordinator for the council since its organization, and clerical work is handled by the. staff of the Cham Der of Commerce. Headed by the mayor, the council includes an active and forceful group of men and wom- en who have developed an organiza- tion of more than 10000 persons. A typical problem of Civilian De- fense-the District Warning Center has been located in the Chamber of Commerce building. Each week, 150 volunteers must be secheduled to man this center, which protests IT surrounding towns as well as Waterbury.
 A Home Registration Office has been set up, central agency for filing of applications by persons seeking housing accommodations and registration of vacant housing facilities.
 Assistance is also given to many committees of the Defense Council. To name few:
 Agriculture, Aircraft Warning, Blackout, Communications, Defense Plannig, Land Army, War Bonds, Child Care, Evacuation, Disaster Relief, Medical Defense, Salvage, Transportation, Rationing, Utilities Defense, Women,s Industrial Mo- Utilization.
 Trade
 Local merchants have been ad- vised of government rulings and restrictions resulting from economic conditions. Credit regulations have been explained in detail, as well as restrictions of the OPA, and freez- ing of various commodities by the WIPE. Bulletin service on such mat ters is provided. Newspaper publicity has been obtained to inform the public of government trade restric- tions.
 Health
 The secretary of the Chamber of Comerce has served as Secretary of the Waterbury Health Council, an organization set up to assist in the public health program, maintaining high standards of service, develop ing a cooperative program of all public health agencies in the com- munity and to carry out the recom- mendations of the survey of public health activities in Waterbury. Information and Statistics
 Statistics concerning local. busi- ness conditions have been compiled monthly. Present day censorship makes them no longer available to the public for the duration of the war. A weekly cost-of- Living chart is available, however, as well as comparative figures for other cities. The figures compiled by the Cham Der of Commerce have long been accepted by the government and other agencies. Files of greatly var jed information have been built up over a period of years, and are available to members.

of the many advantages that VIII accrue to them from membership.
 The following is summary of some of the activities of the local Chamber of Commerce:
 War Production
 Increased production, the weapon which can win the war, is promoted by the Waterbury Chamber of Com merce through cooperation with the War Production Board and the Governors War Industries Com- mission. A bulletin service, giving frequent, up-to- minute reports on findings and rulings of various government agencies such as the ODT. OPA, FBI, is available to members. Data in regard to priority applications, war contracts, etc., is readily available at all times. Posters urging silence on matters pretain- ing to the war effort have been distributed, and constant check is made to discourage careless discus sion of vital topics.
 Labor Problems
 Confidential labor difficulties are often discussed with employer and employe, and such matters fre- ouently adjusted without loss Of time or money. As Jason agent for the State Labor department, the Chamber of Commerce forwards local complaints filed with them for investigation. Bulletin service on changes in laws, legal findings, etc., of the Fair Labor Standard Act and the State Labor Laws is maintained. and Information on these laws IS Rvilable at the office.
 Industrial Problems
 Assistance is given industry by providing office space in the Cham Der of Commerce building for the WIPE and the Governors War In dustries Commission, and giving clerical assistance to these agencies. Local manufacturers are thus en- abled to secure manufacturers are thus enabled to secure immediate information on priorities appllca- tions. war contracts, etc. Findings of importance are promptly passed on to members. Plant protection irl- formation, vital to industry at this time. is made available to members. Transportation and traffic problems of local industdy receive prompt consiGera tion. The Chamber of Commerce has also been of assist ance to local firms seeking addition al quarters for manufacturing or storage.
 Investigations
 I'm Chamber of Commerce is constantly alert to protect local businesmen, housewives, home oW1- CTS against imposters. Particularly today, when most persons are tar- gets for patriotic pep-talks, protec- tion against such imposters is inn portant. All persons approached by solicitors are urged to refer them to tho Chamber of Commerce, where thorough investigation is made. Hundreds of Thousands of dollars are saved each year through this service.
 Governmental Research
 Details of establishing the Water pury Taxpayers Association were handled by the Chamber of Com merce. The purpose of the Associa- tion is to promote effective citizen ship, study public affairs, cooperate with officials and specifically to work for economy and efficiency in government.

in a few scattering camps where nat
ural conditions helped them to COM
bat the disease. Three-fourths of the
Blackfeet died. The slaughter of the
buffalo, during the next 10 years took
much of their sustenance from them.
Their hunting grounds were taken
from them by the federal government.
AS a final result, there are now In
the United States and Canada, less
than 1/10th as many Blackfeet IN
dams as there were half a century
ago.
Uncle Sam and the Blackfeet
Had it not been for the ravages of
smallpox. the United States govern
ment would have found a formidable
task in subduing the Blackfeet nation.
for this warlike tribe before the
scourge, which took such heavy toll
of its finest fighting men, would have
fought to the last ditch before sur
rendering and consenting to being
penned up on a reservation.
The war department had its first
experiences with the Blackfeet after
1866 in which year the department Of
the Missouri was established with
headquarters in st. Louis. In 1866. the
18th infantry was ordered to establish
a post on the Missouri. At that time.
the only military post within the
present bounds of Montana was the
abandoned Fort HOWE on the Mis-
souri, below Fort Benton. established
by Acting Governor Meagher to re-
sist the Sioux. The infantrymen from
the east came and established Camp
Cooke on the Missouri 100 miles be-
low Fort Benton. In 1867, Fort Shaw
was built on Sun river, and Fort Ellis
on the east Gallatin. In 1869 Camp
Baker was established on Smith river,
near where Fort Logan later stood.
Fort Shaw was headquarters for the
district of Montana.
In 1854 congress passed an appro-
priation of $4,000 for concluding a
treaty with the Blackfeet. In 1856
council was held with 1900 represent

many wives might be waiting for them

narrate that some Of these Blackfeet
expeditions would stay away from

The return of one of these expedi-
lions, that had been away for some
time and had been successful, bear
ing the spoils of war and bringing
with them prisoners, chanting the
song of victory, was a great event,
and the celebration would sometimes
be prolonged for days, and be particle
pated in by thousands. The chiefs and
war heads encouraged these celebra-
lions of victory, as it stimulated the
young men to go out and fight for
tribal glory and plumber.
Bloodiest Engagement
The Blackfeet nation was at its
zenith in the early part of the last
century, and up until in the early
thirities, when the first disaster befell
the confederacy. 1t was about this
time that the famous battle between
the Blackfeet and the Grows was
waged in the Sun river valley not far
from the present city of Great Falls.
This was perhaps the bloodiest en-
gagement in Indian history, and as
result thereof many thousands of
both combatants lay dead upon the
