Mtlllcan, formerly of Prlnevllle and now Itosoburg. Mr. Mtlllcan was for six years In tho Indian Service In ttho West.

The basketmakers, potters ami weavers of the entire West coast and Socthwest from tho Alu tlan Islands to tho Mexican border have contributed to tho collection. While baskets form thto principal part of the collection, the pottery, blankets and oher products of tho in dustrial life of tho Indian dound it out and make it the basis for a col lection of tho art objects of primitive Araorica. The Murray Warner coli lection of Oriental art forms the foundation for tho Chinese and Jap- anso section of the University mus eum. With the building up of both tho Indian and Oriental sections, the Oregon institution has tho basis for a great mucsum devoted to the peoples of the Pacific area. Mrs. Milllcan's first toachlng exper lenco in an Indian school was In 1893 afong the Utes, tho Uncompah grens, and tho Ulntahs at the White Hocks school in Utah. Six months there gave her an Insight into the Hfo and habits of Utah tribes. Then she was transferred to a school near Yuma, Arizona. Here dwelt Uie Yumas, the Cocoapahs and the Marl copas. After a year s service at Yuma, Mrs. Milllcan was transferred to Sacaton (which is the Indian word for grass) in Arizona. Here were the Plmas whose proud boast it was that thoy never took up arms against the white man. After threo and a half years at Sacaton, Mrs. Milllcan went to Puget Sound where sho served a year at tho Puyallup reservation. Five years ago sho visited south eastern Alaska and camo into the possession of works of the farthest north red men. One of the prize specimens of the collection is that of a Chllkat chief's robe. While there are many valuable ex amples of Indian art and handicraft In the collccttion, some of the ob jects are interesting because of their historical or romantic origin. Others are grim reminders of days when the Indian took up arms against the white man. A Pima war club made of iron wood, is stained with an Apache's blood. There is a buckskin doll, ac cording to the story told Mrs. Milll can, wears tho hair scalped from a white woman. 1 HIS ANGEL I S By MOLLIE MATHER S !SE525H5E52!raS2H5ESHS2SES2raSH5H Copyright, 1922, We.tern Newspaper Union Geoffrey, in bis woolly bathrobe, FOR, SALE Now house nearly com pleted and choice corner.

For either up or down those stairs his good Sa maritan, must go. The hall of the rooming house remaining for a time silent, Geoffrey sought the window. He was still weak end uncertain as to walking, but as it was possible that a light step might ascend that old stair while he was not there to see, lie returned to his post. He must have been In this gloomy room now, for more than two weeks. The flu had put him out of his head, so tlirit lie could not measure time. Its Interest vanished with his sud den Illness. All that Geoffrey Gordon could distinctly remember was som monlng his landlady, with the con fused request that the woman who cared for his room be retained to give him such care as might bo necessary. The doctor, used to calls of the friendless and unremnneratlve, looked the unresponsive Geoffrey over, pro nounced Ills case grip, and departed, leaving medicine behind. It was not his affulr, certainly, whether that med icine was bestowed or not. "What's his name?" tho doctor briefly asked Mrs. Simpson. "He says it's Stlnson," she replied, "George Stlnson." So the author who loved to study at close range his subjects, who wrote of people as they are lay among those of whom ho would have written, him self needy and unknown. Across the blur of his" pain came then an angel directly from heaven, to minister to him. Like a frightened child, Geoffrey Gordon realized the reassuring comfort of firm, soothing hands. Over his hot forehead the cool hands moved rhythmically, charming his pain away. And when he nwoke to momentary consciousness the fol lowing morning, the faded, Insufficient coverlet had been miraculously re placed by warm blankets of dainty satin bindings. It was when he reached weak but sure convalescence that Jellies and tempting small cakes and muffins' found their way to the stand by the bed. The delicious cakes which ho ate so hungrily brought to him a sting of mother-memory. The mother of his boyhood gone so long, but still bit terly missed. Geoffrey, watching the stair, knew at last why success and the many beautiful things of life still left n great lack which had never been lilted. And so, wondering, speculating, ho questioned, and vainly, concerning ills secret deliverer and watched hope fully, despairingly, the stair. For the girl or woman must of course be an occupant of this dingy rooming house. And to settle this eager curiosity of his he must know her. Many went down the stair each morning to places of employment, many came back each night. Soon Geoffrey must go away, but first he must know. There was one lovely girl ; her dark, dancing eyes sought the Invalid out In his wntching place. At last In desperation the author called to the girl under pretense of asking her to forward a message to Mrs. Simpson. The' girl smiled charm ingly. . "Sure, I'll tell the old dame," agreed his supposed angel, "but you'd betted believe It'll take her some time to get a move up here. Some weight, that old girl. Any other little thing I can do for yousc?" "No, thank you," nnswered Geoffrey sadly. That night inspiration came to him one who had so unselfishly cared for a sick stranger would naturally still be interested in his condition. The next day found him suffering an appar ent collapse; his groaning might even have been heard by a sympathetic lis tener off the long hall. Geoffrey be gan his , groaning directly nfter cus tomary office closing time. Ho do ducted that his Angel was among the employed. She was and at that pre cise moment opening a can of pine apple for her supper. "Dear me," murmured the Angel, "that sounds exactly like my sick man. What a pity he has no mother or sister or wife to look after him." She decided to take a peep into the invalid's quarters. When her wtde eyed glance revealed her former charge ugaln prostrate, Bessie Mac Donald, late of 'Grove Village, slipped noiselessly into George Stlnson'a room. She carried, some of the pineapple with her. As she supposed, the pa tient's lips were hot nnd dry ; thought fully considering, Bessie fed him tho pineapple. Furtively the patient opened his eyes. No, she wasn't exactly pretty, nor modish at all. Her soft capably molded hand made assured, graceful movements toward his lips. Her dark orows drew together concernedly, a she bent over him. Geoffrey remem bered that same dear, anxious look In his mother's face long ago. Suddenly, his eyes upon her, the girl smiled, Why, she was pretty, tenderly pretty, and the plain little frock framed l.er some way fittingly as one would have one's favorite priceless picture framed. "So I have found you at last 1" wald (teoffrey Gordon. "How I have needed you, my dear I" "I am glad to be where I am need ed," answered Bessie confusedly. "But I am goins to need you nl wnys," Insisted this strange patient. However, Bessie remained true to her word. Dlacksnakes Good for Golf. Blacksnakes seeking a comfortable home, rent and taxes free, aro Invited to the golf links of the Coatesvllle County club, In Coatesvllle, Pa. 'Along the sides of tho course underbrush has been permitted to grow thick, and tempting rock piles with full southern exposures have been placed to lure tho snakes from adjacent lands. An educational campaign has been inaug urated among golfers with an aversion to reptiles In order that there may be no repetition of the deaths by vio lence which came to two of the or ganization's pets. Champions of the blacksnake declare that It Is the most efficient natural enemy of the ground mole, which admittedly Is the natural enemy of golf greens. Not only does the snake go right Into the mole's bor ings and discourage that animal's oper ations, but it Is alleged to kill off rat tlers and copperheads. It is harmless to mankind, and is unlikely to appear suddenly to disconcert a player about to putt, for It works at night. Exchange. Butterm)IR""n3iree' Is New.

Professors who (according to a dis patch from Berlin) recently counted the hairs on the heads of an entire class of men nnd women In Munich university, must have been endowed with remarkable patience. The ar duous research disclosed that the men had from 40,000 to 50,000 hairs; the wonif-n from GO.O0O to 70,000. Countlnp; at the rate of one hair a second, it would take one professor more than 10 hours to number 70.000. Land Reclaimed From Lake. Montenegro will gain n navigable outlet to tho sea and nearly $0,000 acres of rich new hind, by negotiations pending between .Tugo-Slnvla and Al bania, which hnvo as their objective the lowering to sen level of the ancient lake of Scutari. The project Involves n cost of $2,000,000 and will lower the level of Scutari lake by eight feet through the tlecrfonlng of the Itlvcr Bojana, from Scutari to the Adriatic. The draining of the lake shores will Increase Montenegro's territory 29,050 acres of rich lnnd. This addition will make Montenegro self-supporting for the first time In Its history. Little Density In Fog. It takes a big block of fog to make one good swallow of wnter, says Dr. V. J. Humphreys of the United States Weather bureau at Washington. Tho densest fog off Newfoundland banks contains some 20,000 droplets In a cubic inch, Doctor Wells nnd Doctor Thurns of the bureau of standard found. To get one gulp of water enough fog to fill u space 3 by 5 by 100 feet would have to be condensed. In a tog that size there are 00,000,000,000,000 particles of water. "It would talco about a half hour to count an inch of fog particles," says Doctor Humphreys. Placed side by side, 2,500 to 3,000 drop lets would be needed to fill that length." The droplets in a cloud have been found to be, on the average, twice the size of a fog droplet. Oil From Sunflower Seed. The sunflower Is a posslblo source of oil, a large quantity of It having been made from sunflower seed In Russia beforo the war. Tho cold-pressed oil Is used for culinary and other pur poses where n high-grade edible oil Is required, while tho hot-pressed Is em ployed In making soaps and Russian varnishes. In 1011, more than 600 mills In the Caucasus were engaged-In pressing sunflower seed. It Is pos sible that the sunflower may some day bo an Important oil-producing plant In ttliis country. The. crop is now grown to quite an extent In some parts of the country, notably Missouri, for poultry feed. PICTORIAL REVIEW PATTERNS Boyer JACK TAR MIDDIES Ontario Oregon ros.
