ability and Indian knowledge
they must have, Fordice had sent
his Chief of Scouts to Leaven-

known to be one of the best In

well he knew what one wrong
move might mean in the country

Red Bird on several occasions

Once or twice a day Red Bird
gave Tom an exhibition in knife
throwing. Standing in any direc-
ton from the target at any dis
lance, usually a few feet up TO
forty or fifty, the Indian would
snatch the knife from his belt
and like . flash, whirl in the
right direction and throw the
knife with so much power and
accuracy that would bury itself
in a pine board to a depth Of
several inches. Another method
of demonstrating his ability as a
knife thrower concerned hanging
an object up by a string. Then
from any position, standing,
walking or running. with a swift
motion of his arm and body, the
knife could be seen as il flashed
through the air, and down would

in two.
One day Captain Morley re-
marked, The speed and preei-
sion of that Indian with a knife,

anyone"
Almost the same thing could
be said about Tom concerning
firearms, and as the army seem
ed to have plenty of ammunition,
Toms soldier friends kept him
well supplied. In addition TO his
favorite 1910 rifle given TO him
by his uncle, he had acquired a
pair of IS army revolyers, and
in the short time he had been
practicing with them, the boys
around the fort were hard press
ed to give him real competition
in match shooting. These new
guns were not his start in side
arms shooting, however, for he
had been shooting a revolver
since he was a child. But his
presence at the fort made II pos
sible for him TO have enough am
munition to take to his practic.

mentally retarded or malformed
BY the same token, the tests when adequately
developed would also reassure the vast majority
of young couples of the likelihood Of their hav-
ing normal, healthy families.
What if a young couple agrees to undergo
these searching tests, and the results show they
might have babies with congenital malforma-
tons? Would such marriage be forbidden?
Tests Are No Bar To Marriage
"By no MEANS" DR.. Cooke said in a recent
interview. "The tests should be voluntary. An
unfavorable prognosis or prediction should not
provide, in my view, either legal or moral
grounds for advising against marriage.
The results of biochemical examination of
their blood and cell engines should be made
available to prospective parents and the outlook
for their offspring made quite clear. But ulti-
mate decision as to marriage should be left to
the individuals themselves"
DR.. Cooke added that genetic defects in the
husband and wife may also be the cause of
childlessnesS
Pursuing his line of thought further, DR..
Cooke said that our young people should be
given better understanding of this subject
Proper instruction would minimize anxiety and
permit them to plan their futures in mature
manner. The noted pediatrician would like to

Yet from time immemorial,
small boys have delighted in copy
ing their fathers tools and weap-
ons. They have played with nina
lures of mans successive inven-
tions-stone-wheel carts to space
ships-just as little girls have imi-
tated mother by cuddling dolls and

The earliest toy, some think, may
have been a child's version of the
covenants club. Later came games
based on organized warfare. Pre-
served from ancient Cyprus is a
musemum collection of identical
peakcapped soldiers, holding shields
over their hearts.
Military toys have followed the
changing looks and techniques of
fighting men from Greek and Ro-
man swordsmen to m e d ieva
knights on horseback and 18th
century foot soldiers in ornate
/ European uniforms.

In today's pushbutton society,
toys follow the lead in military af-
fairs by emphasizing the hardware
of war. Offerings include an array
of midget superweapons-robot
tanks and planes, atomic cannons,

siles, and antimissile missiles.

Ancient Toys Still Popular
In choosing toys that appeal,

Archytas, who lived in the 4th

amuse children and keep them from
breaking things in the house.
Still highly popular are ragdolls,
marbles, and balls known long be-
