Sove Your
.Anti-Freeze

automobile owners should save
their anti-freeze mixtures this
spring instead of throwing them
awav as many did in previous years,
the WPB recommends. The. chemi-
Gals used in making anti-freeze
COMPOUNDS are needed to make ex-
plosives, and for army and navy
tank and airplane operation. Car
owners can therefore help the war
effort protect their cars and help
their pocketbooks by draining and
saving the anti-freeze now in their
car radiators as soon as cold wealth
er lifts. Car owners who usually
have the anti-freeze drained at
service stations are urged to pro-
vide their own containers.

There are four nutpines Of the
Southwest. The pinon is the only
two -leaved one. 1t is found in scat
tered groves and open stands on
dry foothills, mountain slopes and
the sides Of the canyons OF the
Southern Rocky Mountains. Some
of these pines have reached an
elevation OF 5000 feet above sea
level, though they are commonly
seen at 5000 to 5000 feet.
Usually, this sturdy little pine
is in the company of the Western
jumpers, ponderosa pines and the
mountain mahoganies, and also In
pure stands over small areas. The
range extends south from North
ern Colorado over New Mexico tc
the Pecos River in Texas, and also
throughout most Of Arizona and
Southeastern Utah. In this last
State, 1t forms q woodland type
that is OF commercial importance.

When Winnebago Indians wanted
to do writing of sort, they useo
birchbark as their paper" Theil
writing was done with pictures. Tc
show they were making picture OF
white man. they drew the figure
OF a man and placed hat on his
head.
Those Indians and most others
had no hats or caps when they were
first seen by white explorers Many
of them, however, put feathers in
their hair or wore feather "bonnets. -
Indians of the plains were the ones
who most often wore feather bon
nets. The bonnets were made largely
of the feathers of golden eagles.
Some had long tails which hung
down almost to the ground.
Ordinary warriors of the tribe did
not wear such bonnets. 1t was the
chiefs and the chief warriors who
were allowed the honor.
AS warrior grew older and per-
formed brave deeds of one kind or
another, he could place new feathers
in his bonnet. In one tribe a warrior
was allowed to add five feathers
when he brought back to camp an
enemy who had been wounded on
the battlefield
American Indians are not the only
persons with a headdress of feathers.
Among various savage or half-savage
tribes of far lands. feathers have
been favored. Dark-skinned Mel

islands follow the custom. In Ger

Take My Word for 1t
- By FRANK COLBY.
Aqoin 'ee' for Final "

I recently stated here that, in the
speech Of the majority OF Amer
leans, the ~" Of such words as baby,
family, is pronounced with long
"e" sound, as: 'BAY-bee, FAM-i-
lee" A number of readers have
suggested that I (a) have my head
examined, (b) tell 1t to the Marines,
Co buy a dictionary and learn the
Facts Of Life. They tell me that the
only correct pronunciation for final
"" is the short 'i' as in bit, hit, and
that the dictionaries show the ~" as
u" in the respelling for pronuncia-
ton.
The truth is, the dictionary's short
y" for final 'y'' is a purposely am
biguous symbol that represents both
the short ''i' sound and the long "e"
eound. Need proof? Very well, turn
TO the pronunciation section OF
Webster's New International Die
tionary, Second Edition, paragraph
263: 'Unaccented final " as in
ready, or 'ey,' as in money, varies
considerably from accented i (as in
OlSUCIt. al dSi opli ioo. la <AiiiCi
lea the tendency is either to remain
like accented t. or to vary to a
higher tongue position toward e
Gas in Venus"
Nowhere in the 3,210 pages of
Webster's is the statement made
that final "y" should be pronounced
as short Il" or that it should not
be pronounced as long "e" In short
dear readers, one is as correct as
the other. If you prefer to pro-
nounce,, say, the word baby as
"BAY-bee," the highest authority
in the land will give you its bless
ing.
I repeat that I am convinced that
final "y" is predominately zee" ir
the standard speech of America, ane
I shall continue to so show it in thi!
column. But do not say, nor have
I ever said, that zee" only is correct

how fearless he is, he would attack
his neighbors without any warning
and then laugh at them when they
flew away. He called them cow
ards. He hasn't to this day learned,
and wouldn't believe If he was told,
that the coward, the real coward,
is he who fights without cause. So
he went about through the Old
Orchard making things very uncom-
Portable for all his neighbors until
at last one day he made a mistake.
1t was this way: He had been
wandering through the Old Orchard
with nothing to do but try to bully
whomever he met. when at last he
came to the far corner, where
Johnny and Polly Chuck live. In

plished on the mesas and slopes
where the gravelly or sandy soil
is fairly deep and rich, the pinon
is more often found on rocky soils.
Indeed, because Of Its shallow root
system, 1t is one OF the first trees
to gain and hold its own on the lava
overflows which are rather COM
mon throughout the Southwest.
The pinon rarely reaches more
than 20 feet in height, though some
have been as tall as so feet, with
a breast-high diameter Of u to 80
inches. They live to be from $50
to 375 years old.
The reddish brown bark is irregu-
larly furrowed with shallow dag
onal ridges. In the early spring,
the dark red pollen bearing stami-
nate clusters arrive and cover the
tree. On the ends of the twigs,
the short-stalked, purplish, pistil-
late blossoms await the showers of

to 2 inches long There are not
many cone scales. and they are free
from prickles. In pairs. on the
scales close to the middle of each
cone, are from 2 to 80 reddish
brown, mottled, nut-like seeds
Although the pinon produces an
abundant crop of seeds at intervals
OF two to five years, few of them
are fertile, and they hold the power
to germinate only for short time
Weevils may enter the seed before
the cones open and send the seed

counts for the small natural stands

forever talking about 1t. He says
that the way to get on in this
world is to look out for yourself
and never mind any one else; let
them look out for themselves. OF
course. that is one of the oldest
and most mistaken ideas in the
world, but Bully hasn't learned 1t
yet in spite of the fact that what
he calls independence Is forever
getting him into trouble.
To begin with he had made an
enemy for himself of everybody
who lived in the Old Orchard.
There was not one who would so
much as speak to him. But he
didn't care. Not he! He dearly

Who'll make me?" demanded
Bully.

Bully.
The words were hardly out of his
mouth when something hit him and

could quite get his breath 1t seemed

sharp bills. When he tried to
strike back there was no one there.

and this trim gentleman with the

feather headdress to a height of
8 or 4 feet.
I have said that most Indians of
this continent had no hats or caps,
but in q few tribes the men covered
their heads. Some Algonquian war
riors in the far northern part of
Canada wore caps.
Chilkat Indian men, along the
coast OF Alaska, wore so-called
basket hats" These were made of
basket-work and covered the head
IN a way which gave protection.
Basket hats and caps Of much the
same type were worn by some In
dians OF Oregon and California, both
men and women.
Among nations which usually are
described as civilized" feathers
have gone into millions OF hats.
Women of IS or 40 years ago were
fond of hats with feathers in them.
To this day a woman may be seen
now and then wearing hat with
one or more feathers on it.
In past times it was a widespread
custom for women to wear hats with
egret feathers. Egrets are members
of the heron family and are found
in some parts Of this continent as
well as in Europe and Africa. So
many egrets were destroyed for hats
that laws were made to protect them.
