' Being an American, of course I lefended the American policy, hough the friendliness mani fccted on board this ship with an Oriental atmosphere made me wonder if possibly even an Ameri an policy could be in error. The newspaper man recognized the iustiflcation of immigration' laws til right, but he protested against ut policy of ; discrimination igainst his people.

Engineering aaocia- tion. . : :V ' - "The comparatively small -loss of human life, R added, "was due in no small part to the prompt rescue work of the railroads.;' - Prepared by chief engineer of flood zones,, the report described the 1927 disaster as establishing "another .record in the long "line of unprecedented floods On the historic stream, as gages' show stages higher than ever' beforej hreorded, while breaks in 'the le vees have inundated approximat ely 18,000 square miles, directly affecting "three-quarters oti a mil lion people; making "approximat ely 600,000 homeless and desti tute and causing property damage estimated to exceed '$300, 000,000." M "Operation was suspended from ten to 120 days on 3000 miles of railroads .(.the longer period apply ing' principally to branch llnesi," it said. "Not only do these disas trous floods seriously Interfere with transportation, but telegraph and telephone lines are also de stroyed and communication often ?ntirely cut off. It was apparent early in April, 19 2 T, that railroads located adja cent to the Mississippi and its tributaries were faced with the probability of severe flood condl tions and every possible precau tion was taken to protect the prop erty. Where there was a proba bility that the territory, would be overflowed, all material possible was removed from the overflow area and stored on high ground Track gangs were recruited by the railroads to full strength ana aa ditional eangs were held In readi- nMA tt move to the Inundated area.

(AP) Saving the returned student from ! squandering his education is a' problem before the officials of the Natajo reservation " schools hjere, now that they have been re- f opened for the .winter. The children of the Indian ag ency are taken through the pri mary grades of scbool at Shiprock which xan accommodate ' S 00, but must attend extra-agency schools for the higher grades. When their education ' in the reserTation schools "is ended j most '.of the' children return to their! homes where opportunities for, learning1 are meager. As a result the return ed student becomes discouraged and finally goes back to the "blan ket' Indian life." Hugh Sousea, an educated In dian 'employ at Shiprock,- for - a number of years has tried to, en courage the returned students to stay until they find employment. Cato Sells exemplifies the suc cess of Sousea's efforts to help the returned students. Sella was born on the reservation in 1906. At the age. of 10 he entered school "at Shiprock. In-1920," when Lldut. D. Ray Campbell came to the Ship rock school to organize a band, young Sells had developed Into a well-trained musician. Two years later when the band , leader was transferred to Sherman. Institute at Riverside, Cal., Sells, went with him. After finishing at Sherman he went to the Riverside Polytech nic high . school, from which he was graduated in June. In the meantime. Sells, during vacation time, did not return to the "blanket" life of the reserva tion. Instead he donned overalls and obtained several manual Jobs. In commenting on his education, Sells recently declared: "Too often young men and girls of the agency wait around expect ing to get a Job j from the Indian agent. Soon their ambition be comes stagnant and they go back to tepee or hogan, and say 'there is no chance for me.' "There is always a chance if the returned : student Js . ambitious, stays away from the agency and goes to work. That wiH solve the returned student problem and the Indian, problem at the same time." .

Dr. Caldwell watched the re sults of constipation for 47 years, and believed 'that no matter how careful people are of their health, diet and exercise, constipation will occur from time to time regardless of how much one tries to avoid it. Of next importance, then, is how to treat it when it comes. Dr. Caldwell always was In favor of getting as close to nature as pos sible, hence his remedy for con stipation, known as Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, is a mild vegetable compound. It can not harm the most delicate system and is not a habit forming preparation. Syrup Pepsin is - pleasant-tasting, and youngsters love it. It does not gripe. Thousands of mothers have written us to that effect. 1 Dr. Caldwell did not approve of drastic physics and purges. He did not believe they were good for human' beings to put into theirj system. In a practice of 4T years be never saw any reason for their use when a medicine like Syrup Pepsin will empty the bowels Just as promptly,- more " cleanly and gently, without griping and harm rto the . system. Keep free from constipation! It robs your strength, hardens your arteries and brings on premature old age. Do "not let a day go by without a bowel movement.
