1.-THE SAVAGE" at fhe San
Carlos Theatre
No one ever dedicated a song
called ''Sweet Sioux" to the fierce
nomadic tribe of American Indians
who once inhabited the Black Hills
of the Dakotas as home base and
famed out over the prairie coun-
try on scalping forays. However,
in this picture, the Sioux tribe is
delineated as the most honorable
and noble of the Plains Indians.
The Crows are made to eat crow
as a lesser division. They are the
skulkerS in the bushes who prey
on wagon trains, and, according
to the film, were the cause of the
treaty-breaking between advancing
whites and the copper-skinned war
riorS. The Sioux were keeping
their side of the bargain but the
treacherous Crows killed settlers,
ambushed U. S. Calvary, and the
Sioux were blamed.
1t is true in the turbulent days
following the War between the
States, and for the next twenty
years after that, all Redmen were
tossed into one category under the
old Western saying, 1.-THE only
good Indian is a dead one" In

three days by a low railway

Rock Island Railway officials
hand-cranked the rotating bridge
mechanism yesterday to allow the

All previous efforts to rotate the
55-year-old bridge-including elec-

less than so feet from the water.
The railroad said the bridge

Us New England Slipping IndustroIly Figures Say No

Bank In Boston, is that New Eng
land leads the Nation in transit
ton to economic maturity" !"
That means a change in the
employment structure: First,
from agriculture to manufactur-
ing. Then, as manufacturing be-
comes more complicated, workers
demand more services in such
fields as transportation, educa-
tion and communications. There
follows, naturally, an increase
in the number of service en-
ployeS.
In Later Stage.
Employment figures show this
is happening in New England. In
other words, if you subscribe to
the theory. you will agree that
New England Is in a later stage
of development than other re-
gions-a stage which the South
and West will reach in time.
Thus, while New England still is
growing, it is in a less dramatic
phase than some Of Uncle Sans
younger regional children-the
Deep South, for example, gor-
geouS girl, who recently has bios
somed like the magnolia in out
growing her adolescent farm
economy.
So comparisons of regional
economic growth are rather like
comparing the rate of physical
growth in children. It all depends
on how old they are.

tisticS New England is a mighty

Riuhf Of Parents 10 Order
Permit Revocation Asked

Traffic Director George e.
Keneipp. for the third time,
asked the Commissioners yes
terday to give parents authority
to order revocation Of driving
permits for their children from
Is to 10 years old.
Drivers of this age bracket
must have permission Of their
parents to get the permits in
the first place. The Commis-
sioners previously have ex-
pressed the view that giving
parents authority to have them
revoked would be too broad a
delegation.
Corporation Counsel Vernon
e. West said it would take legis-
lation, since the Commissioners
do not have the power to make
the change. They may not re-
woke a permit except for cause.

held 7.6 per cent Of the national
bank deposits. Latest available
figures show their per capita in
come in 1851 was $1,715 COM
pared to a national average Of
81, ,584. Their per capita savings
In 1850 totaled 1895 compared
to a national average of 1,228.
This years economic trend in
dicates that those basic figures
should be as good or better
today.
Factories Increased.
Since 1889, New England has
increased the number of it's
manufacturing plants SO per
cent, creating 100000 new jobs
in the process. Investments in
equipment, machinery and new
construction are better than
generally assumed. Workers have
q higher take-home pay and
standard Of living than those in
other regions of the country,
says Massachusetts Democratic
Senator Kennedy.
In short, the economy Of New
England on the whole is neither
depressed nor undeveloped.
Why, then, the myth that New
England is slipping?
Probably the biggest contribu-
ting factor to the myth is the
decline of the New England tex
tiles industry. In itself, that
decline is no myth. It's a fact
perhaps the best-known eco
nomic fact about New England.
But another fact, less known,
is the extraordinary growth OF
other forms Of manufacture,
particularly the electronicS In
dustry. While textile employ
ment has declined about $4,000
since 1899, other industry has
created 100000 new jobs.
Nearly everybody has seen pic
lures of empty textile mills, but
few have heard how citizens OF
depressed" communities have
banded together and attracted
new industries which are taking
up employment SlackS.
