p;oua Teeumseh,s Birthplace


Tecumseh was born in 1868 at Piq-
ua-old Piqua, three miles north Of
the present town. He was the son Of
Puckeshinwa, of the Kiscopoke tribe,
and Methoataske, a squaw Of the
Turtle tribe of the Shawanoese nation,
who moved to Ohio from Florida
about 1850. After Chief Puckeshinwa
was killed in 1774 at the battle of
Point Pleasant the widowed squaw
returned to the south where she died
at an advanced age.
Tecumseh lacked much of being a
good Indian" but got around lot
and in 1895 was made a chief. Dur
ing his courtship of Rebecca Gallo
way he lived near Urbana, Cham
paign County, on the bank of Deer
creek.
A few years later he again moved
to Piqua and in 1898, after his re-
fusal by Rebecca Galloway, moved
with his followers to the banks of
White River, in Indiana, to join the
Delawares.
In TT. Recovery Attack
He was in the attack on Fort Re-
covery and the battle of Fallen
Timbers and in 1905, with his brother,
Laulewasikaw "the prophet" headed
large body of. Shawanoese who
went to Greenville and built IL large
Indian village on the white mems
side of the GreenvilIe treaty line.
Summoned to Chillieothe for a
peace conference after that, Tecum-
sch reiterated to Governor William
Henry Harrison the declaration he
had made to Rebecca Galloway
never to forsake his people nor their
ways. He kept the vow until his
death in the battle of the Thames.
Tecumseh began his warfare
against the whites early. When he
was IT he took part in an attack on
some boats on the Ohio River near
Maysville, Kentucky, in which the
boats were captured and all the whites
except one were killed. The survivor
was burned at the stake. His first
battle against the white men was with
the Shawanoese in their repulse of
an attack by Gen, Benjamin Logan
and a band of Kentuckians on Mad
River&where Dayton now is.

SPORT COMMENT

The Pacific Coast League off cials have been after major league rating now for some time. And there's fair amount of Justification to all the noise they have been making. They lured 100000 customers in 1947--more than the American or the Nat ionals drew in 1943. They can also boast that every team in the circuit drew more than the St. Louis Browns last year. Then, too, the West is groWing--and growing fast. But the Pacific is just as far from major league rating as they were five years ago. Pants" Rowland and his boys got lot of publicity out of it and that's about all They could drop out of organized ball and call themselves a major lea que outfit But that, of course, would mean a baseball war something that hasn't happened since the Federal League organ ized in 1913 and declared war on the majors. They folded two years later The Coast Leaugers might do the same if they break

England has traded 5000 tons of automobiles for 7,200 tons of Argentine beef-indicating that British cars cost more than meat.
 In U. S.. the opposite is true. For example, new car retailing at $500, including accessories, weighs 3,l50 pounds, or 47 cents a pound. Some heavier and higher priced U. s. cars sell at around 50 cents a pound, but few mod els cost more.

Trucks are Americas work horses. They help drag our raw materials from earth and forest. They help the farmer grow his crops and send them to market. They aid the manufacturer by tying him to other plants with day-and-night deliveries. On flex- ible schedules they carry stuff from jobber to wholesaler to re- taller with a minimum of fuss and handling.
 They are vital part of the transportation magic that makes this country the most produc tive nation on this planet.

1913 Crop of Flies Said to Be Good
Or Bad, Despite DDT Use in Nation

they pass on to their offspring
this ability to take dose Of DOT
that would be knockout punch
to mother fly. Possibly their
feet are more sensitive to DDT,
too. So it turns out the weak
flies, with sensitive feet, or
of strong physique, survive to
breed a super family.
Scientists long ago suspected
something like this might happen
and they went to work in lab
oratories. They sprayed flies, in
cages, with DDT. They allowed
the survivors of each spraying
to breed. In the 43rd generation,
with all the weaklings elimin-
ated. they produced a fly that
could take three times as much
DDT, without curling up his toes,
as an ordinary fly. Department
of agriculture scientists see these
two leading possibilities:
l. Possibly the surviving flies
develop more sensitive feet
through each generation. They
get the ''hot foot" quicker than
other flies when they land on the
poison and fly away before they
get a killing dose. 2. Or they
are just all-around better flies,
with more health and more Wig.
or. At least they have more
DDT-resistance. That's the most

WASHINGTON - That sup
er fly killer, DOT, is having trou-
Bile killing flies. Flies apparent
ly are building up resistance
to it. DR.. P. N Armand, chief
of the Bureau of Entomology and
Plant Quarantine Of the U. S.
Department of Agriculture, says
reports have come from sever
al parts of the country that DOT
isn't killing the 1948 crop of flies.
This is what the fly experts
have feared. Apparently the flies
are giving a good demonstration
of the old jungle law of the sur
vival of the fit. But the fly ex-
perts have several aces up
their sleeves. DR.. Armand says
this is the situation:
Flies are killed by coming in
contact with DDT, sprayed on
surfaces. 1t works through their
nervous systems. Apparently a
fly gets a "hot foot" after he
alights in an area sprinkled with
DDT. Some flies already have
received a killing dose of the
poison by the time their feet be-
gin to tingle.
Some other flies apparently
can take more DDT and live to
tell teir grandchildren about it.
