HISTORy OF THE RED MAN SERIES FIRE SIGNALS BY TWAI-MOLEsT In th old days tvhttt men woatd tec fbtt of the Indians on tint hQb and mountains but could not read them. These messages were not intended for the white men It often happened tn those days that white men catnpaignmiT against the Indians would be demotaliaed by the sight of those signal fbes nankin? in the night, tstnkmg and bunking appearing and disappear! ngt waving buck .and forth up and down. The ufoite man had no mode of sipaCing; and he did not understand the Indian code. He must have feft htjiptess indeed uhen he saw those messages that hccouUrtotread. The ordinary way of signalling with fbes was by passing a blan ket back and forth before the fire on the ground. Sometimes the red man would mcrtry kimp b and forth beft Scwtimes the signal was a steady pre. Sornethnes it was a fire that would flash up and then tfie out instantly. Sometimes the signaling was done with a torch. It could be signalled with in the same way as the fire on the ground; or it could be waved back and forth and up and down. .. 1 i la 6m SoutKeaaet tha Indiana oftcar sigmaBad by aatting fira to fl dead can laTy pUnta.

O. Hayward. Washington, Sept. 7. L N. a ) Re publican congressmen from the North and Middle West who -went back home for the congressional recess to spend vacation and to rest, i are -returning . to .Washington nhreated. . .: :' " The returning ones were relating sad tales today of their home reception. They were met by an army of unem ployed men and discouraged merchants I and farmers..: They were faced with a- battery of Questions as to what congress was do- In? or would do to help conditions. " They' Were criticised for delay in help ful legislation and for failure to com plete enactment of the tax and tariff revision legislation. Finally, they were petitioned for Jobs. Under tha . conditions, many of the congressmen decided, that Washington was a more comfortable place than home. They are returning filled with a determination to speed up legislation that may help in - the ' restoration of business to normal and . are eagerly seeking some way to relieve the great J evils of unemployment Those returning from Kansas. Iowa and other Mid-West states admit they ! had difficulty in , making their people understand why they had voted to re peal the heavier surtaxes on large In comes and allowed taxes to go un changed od the smaller incomes. Tha business economies of this move by the Republicans the effort to get money out fcf tax-free securities and turn it into business enterprise was " not un derstood olearly by the voter. 250 Boys Attend . Scout Training Camp at Wahtum Two hundred and fifty boys attended the Boy Scout Training campat Wah tum lake this summer and their average stay was a third longer than it was last year,' announced James E. Brockway, scout executive, today. He recently re turned from camp. . . "This is very gratifying to us, as the longer the boys stay the more we can do for them." said Brockway. "The father pf . a boy who - needed the camp very much said when the camp opened that he could not afford to let him stay more than two weeks, so I told htm I would, try to provide for the other six weeks.1. We had the hoy for the entire sason,and .although was pot very well Satisfied with the results, the father came to our office yesterday and said such a change for the better had been wrought that ha, wanted to express his appreciation - by paying the additional $30, although 'he could not pay it all now. It Is such cases as these that make our work worth while,. "Many . parents are expressing their gratitude pver the benefits derived by their boys and are saying that they in tend sending them next year Jor the en tire season. This Is very -gratifying In view ox -the - diphtheria scare which we feared might make parents a little fear ful about camp life for their boys. As far as my knowledge goes only two boys have actually developed the disease. others who were placed under observe tion are being released as soon as their cultures' are found to be negative. The organisation feels especially indebted to Dr. George Parrlsh, city health officer. for his personal attention. to the boys and his great and effective effort to keep the disease from spreading. vvi-, .- : Chicago.
