year ha» been collecting data on Ihe
»ubjrit from the executive ulthera of
■tut<> deiia ri men t a of heulth nnd from
the universities with which Class A
medical schools are aflllbiled.
Of the courses given by departments
of health, live are for sanitarians—
those conducted In Kansu». Illinois.
Ohio, New Mexico und I'ennsylvsnls.
in addition, the Virginia state heulth
department offers u correspondence
course for teachers; In both Virginia
und Minnesota a course Is given In the
hygiene of maternity and Infancy for
mother», ami a second course Is of­
fered In Pennsylvania, one for per­
sons connected with Industries, school»
and with civic und religious organiza­
tions.
"In no case Is tuition charged for the
courses conducted by stale depart­
ments of heulth," says a summary of
the survey. "Mimeographed or printed
lessons are distributed tn several In­
stances, and In two cases, textbooks
are used. Those taking the course are
required to answer questions by mail
from time to time. In four or five in­
stances in connection with each lesson.
The number enrolled varies u great
deal, so also does the length of course.
Some Courses for Laymen.
"The correspondence courses offered
by universities are In five Instances
conducted by the extension division of
the university nnd In one case by the
department of hygiene. One university
conducts only one course, two conduct
two courses, two, four courses, and one
conducts seven courses. Most courses
appeared to be offered primarily for
those who are now or intend to be en­
gaged in public health work, although
a few courses apparently are for lay­
men.
•
"Tn ail cnsea tuition 1» charged, text­
books are used nnd examinations given.
Academic credit Is grunted for all
courses, except In one university,
where credit Is given when ths stu­
dent Is enrolled in the school of medi­
cine. The length o^ courses varies
fmm 2U to 4<> lessons While ths
courses offered by universities may
have a more dignified status than
those offered by state defiartments of
health, the number of students en­
rolled Is not large.
"Ths Ohio state department of
health has prepared a course, with tbs
assistance of the International Health
board, for persons employed in public
health work on a full-time or part-
time basla. not Including, however,
nurses. The work requires one year,
but no definite time Is set for com­
pleting It. The Kansas state board of
health, which also received assistance
from the International Health board,
established In January. 1023. a cor­
respondence course for sanitarians
(mostly part-time county health offi­
cers). Of the 195 who enrolled the
entire numtier completed the course.
The course was repeated In 1924.
"The bureau of public health of the
department of public welfare of New
Mexico organized for city und county
health officers n correspondence course
In 192D. consisting of 40 lessons given
at weekly Intervals. The course was
taken by 50 persons. The work has
not been conducted In a systematic
way since 1920. The Virginia state
board of health operates two corre­
spondence courses, one for teachers and
one for mothers.
“The Minnesota state board of
health, through Its division of child
hygiene, conducts n correspondence
course In the hygiene of maternity
and Infancy.

The position of the American con­

the British system of justice now In

The British government, however.
Is not known to have raised any ob­

ities have even gone out of their way
to effect judgments made by the eon-!

that It was in Its independent days

country was like before It succumbed

from the Washington headquarters of
the National Geographic society, quot­
ing a communication from Melville
Chater.
"Though one has penetrated fairly

represents what I would term the plc-1
turesque scenery worn by your typical’
Georgian In war. In peace, and In ths
bosom of his countrymen.
“What I have called fountain pens
turned out to be more weapons—hol­
low tubes, anciently designed to con­
tain powder and shot.
“One looks at these magnificently,
accoutered swaggerers, with their stiff
mustaches nnd dose-shaven skulls,
and thinks of comic opera and of the
dear old kingdom of Zenda; also one
trembles for the League of Nations,
fearing that the Georgian will never j
consent to a reduction of his arma­
ment.
“Mere militarism has no mortgage
on uniforms nt Tiflis. Everybody
wears one. Including school children
and their teachers, according to Rus­
sian custom; and hundreds upon hun­
dreds of civilians are thus attired be­
cause, clothes being scarce and expen­
sive, they prefer buying some officer’s
cast-off outfit.
“The lounging hour1 is important in
Georgia. In fact, there are some six­
teen of fhese to the Georgian's day,
and perhaps It would be simpler to
speak of the working hour. Between ।
two and three o'clock in the afternoon, j
down go the steel lattices which guard
the shop windows—then Tiflis resumes
its national pastime of jole de vlvre
until six o'clock of the following morn­
ing; for that is the hour when the
Georgians’ all-night parties break up—
break up, I mean, with shots ex­
changed across the table.
"The Georgian is renowned for his
hospitality. His customary greeting
Is, ’While In Tiflis you will consider
my home yours,’—an offer which was
tendered us so regularly that we suf­
fered, I may almost say, from an em­
barrassment of homes.
Dinner Parties All-Night Affairs.
“The Georgian dinner party, a I
mighty matter of course» and wines,
begins at 2:30 In the afternoon and
lasts until 6. Then there will be a
dance In the evening, refreshments
commencing nt 9 o'clock nnd continu­
ing between dance-numbers until the
company reels homeward In the daWn.
“Occasionally the floor 1» cleared for
n dagger-dance, a picturesque and
barbaric business performed to a
rhythmic accompaniment of hand-clap­
ping by some tnll, besklrted native,
who prances murderously about with
from five to seven daggers held be-
tween his teeth.
“The Georgian public function Is a
superb affair of uniforms, healths
drunk, huzzahs, celebrities carried
shoulder-high about the room, and a
chorus of liveried trumpeters who
sound fanfares at the close of every
toast Once again one realizes that,
though the Georgians have gone red
republican, Zenda's dear old comic­
opera kingdom still lies deep in their
hearts.”

Indians Claim Big
Area in Tennessee
Start Suit in Court for Five
Million Acres.
Charlotte, N. C —Claims to recover
0,000,000 acres of land embracing much
of east Tennessee, and including the
city of Chattanooga, has been filed by
John M. Taylor, an attorney, who is a
fullblood Cherokee Indian, before the
Department of the Interior, for the
Eastern immigrant Cherokees of Okla­
homa and North Carolina, basing bls
claims upon ancient treaties and the
code of North Carolina, relating to the
Indians, several thousand of whom are
still domiciled In this state. The suits
have been filed at Murphy, In Chero­
kee county, and In Tennessee.
In support of his claim the attorney
has filed certified copies of various
treaties negotiated with the Indians by
the state of North Carolina. The
claims are filed In behalf of Taylor
and over 400 other “redskins.” He
has caused to be put Into the record
In both places where he filed claims
a collection of papers on the contents
of which he expects to establish his
case. His admission to the bar as an
attorney has also been filed.
Taylor, according to Representative
Weaver of the Tenth North Carolina
district, at one time resided In Chero­
kee county, later removing to Okla
homa. In which state the main portion
of the Cherokee nation resides. Weaver
asserts that Taylor has been in Wash­
ington on numerous occasions as a
representative of the Cherokee In­
dians. The attorney insists that the
Indians are entitled to Interest amount­
ing to noo.ooe.ooo.
Copy of Code Filed.
Among the voluminous papers filed
in the case Is a certified copy of an
act from the code of North Carolina
of 1783, In which It Is recited that
The Cherokee Indians shall have and
enjoy that tract of land bounded as
follows, to-wlt: Beginning on the
Tennessee river, where the southern
boundary of the state Intersects the
same nearest the Chickamauga towns;
thence up the middle of the Tennessee
and Holston rivers to the middle of
the French Broad river; thence up the
French Broad river (which lines are
not to Include any Islands In said
river) to the mouth of the Big Pigeon
river; thence up the same to the head
thereof; thence along the dividing
ridge between the waters of the Pigeon
and Tuckashah rivers to the southern
boundary of the state, and the lands
contained in the aforesaid bounds shall
be reserved to the said Cherokee In­
dians and their nation forever, any­
thing hereinbefore to the contrary not­
withstanding.”
Includes Chattanooga.
The "Chickamauga towns” referred
to In the act were in the vicinity of
what is now the city of Chattanooga,
and the territory Involved will include
practically all of tho area of that
Tennessee metropolis.
Taylor also
sets up claim to 640 acres which he
asserts He In the Moccasin bend.
The attorney states further that un­

gres», Indians are allowed to bring
suit In the Court of Claims for the re­
covery of Indian reserves. It is under­
stood that Taylor, under this provision,
intends bringing suit for the entire
reservation as set out In the North
Carolina act. which granted the 5,000,-
000-acre t-ract to the Cherokees, the
establishment of whose claims thereto
were fixed by later treaties.
The state of Tennessee was at one
time a part of North Carolina, and
Taylor will attempt to show that the
original act, granting territory em­
braced in the bounds of that common­
wealth, was never repealed. There la
also on record a memorandum to this
effect :
“Say to our full-blood people that
they must raise plenty of erpen—

ROYALTY IS SPARED
BY LONDON CROOKS
Convention I» Strictly Ob­
served by Underworld.
New York.—Officials In America
who are charged with the protection
of visiting royalty—for Instance, the
prince of Wales—would be saved con­
siderable worry If American thieves
would accept a convention observed
by their colleagues in the United
Kingdom.
British thieves will not
rob any member of the royal family.
There are laws of tho underworld
that exist chiefly In the minds of out­
siders, such as "honor among thieves,”
but the exemption of royalty seems to
have a somewhat firmer basis, if the
police records show anything at all.
Robbing
royalty
Isn't
considered
“clubby.”
London’s crookdom believes there's
a divinity that hedges round a king,
even if New York’s thieves are strong
for democracy in such professional
matters.
It is said that in things of this sort
the personal popularity of a royal in­
dividual is a factor. Yet even so pop­
ular a figure as the prince of Wales,
who became King Edward, was robbed
of a gold watch in I860. It was at the
Cherisey steeplechase. -And he never
got the watch back. That, however,
Is one of the few exceptions, which
Include also the theft of a dressing
case from the duke of Edinburgh OU
years or so ago.
Little affairs of that kind are re­
garded as showing a want to tact. A
king’s messenger would be fair game,
but not a king himself.
This attitude came to light In a
practical form only a few months ago,
after want of tact had been displayed
by some one undetermined. The victim
was Prince George. The king's young­
est son left some trinkets in his mo­
tor in the West End, and they disap­
peared. There were a set of diamond
cuff links that Queen Alexandria had
given him, a stickpin and some other
links, one set bearing a “G” In dia­
monds and another of different fash­
ion.
The loss became known to the pub­
lic and in a day or two a reticent man
visited a police official and left a lit­
tle package. Everything was there.
