Indian Lore and Legend
Presented In Pageantry
At M'Minnville 2 Days
McMinnvillc Col. J. C. Cooper, author of the book,
"Rod Pioneer", which will be presented in pageant form in
McMinnvillc May 25 and 26, enjoys probably as much knowl
edge of Indian lore and legend of
the northwest as any living ore-
gonian.
Coming west with Mrs. Cooper, he
was with a party that passed the
Sitting Bull country ten years be
fore Custer made his famous stand.
The contacts he established with
the Indians on this trip, along with
the associations and friendships he
has gained during the more than 60
years he has lived in Oregon, has
provided Colonel Cooper with a
great fund of knowledge from which
he has drawn to write the book,
' Red Pioneers."
In the early days of Oregon, he
made it a point to mingle with the
redskins and to know them. Their
affairs and problems became his
personal affairs and problems, and
he has probably as wide a circle o!
friends among Indians in the north
west as any single person. He head
ed a delegation which went before
President McKinley asking Indian
war veterans' pensions, and wrote
the bill for that purpose, which was
later passed by congress.
George H. Himes, curator of the
Oregon Historical society, after
reading the outline of Col. Coopefi
"Red Pioneers," several years ago,
ardently urged the colonel to pub-1
lish the book, and declared he would
aid in its publication.
Colonel Cooper, a veteran of the
Civil war, is one of the five surviv
ing members ot the McMlnnville O.
A. R. post, which once boasted a
membership of about 200. He and
Mrs. Cooper celebrated their 62nd
wedding anniersary not long ago,
and they have spent more than
'three score years of their life In
Oregon, 54 of which have been In
McMlnnville.
Invitations have been sent to Gov
ernor Meier and to Will Rogers, nationally-known
humorist who Is of
Indian parentage, to attend the pre
sentation of "Red Pioneers'' here
next week. However, with apologies,
both declined, although it is expect
ed that a representative of the gov
ernor will be here. Roqprs said he

performers on a slender wire high
up in the dome of the "big top""will
thrill you with an act that lias
made two continents gasp. Alex
Acevedo, Mexico's foremost dancing,
tumbling, somersaulting acrobat, Is
a daring newcomer; a champion In
his clas. Canada contributes the
world's foremost lady animal train
er, Miss Mabel Stark, who this sea

LIVE PARTS IN
RADIO PROGRAM
Chicago--tP) Amos 'n' Andy lire
the characters they portray.
Tlie comedians who for more than
five years have maintained popular
interest through nearly a thousand
sketches actually are, for certain
times each day, the persons the
changing voices call Into existence.
For example, when Ainos switches
and becomes Brother Crawford, he
bounces up and down in his chair.
Andy before the microphone is real
ly Andy. The minute that voice
starts, thumbs go Into the button
(holes of the vest and the chest Is
nrown out.
Their contracts bear the signa
tures of Freeman Gosden as Amos
and Charles J. Correll as Andy.
The bovs never use assistants de
spite the many roles they do. There
are the parts Amos takes, includ
ing the breach of promise trial that
concluded In victory for Andy: The
Klngfish, Brother Crawford, Llght
uln, the Judge, Smith the prosecu
tor, and Madame Queen.
Andy is the landlord, the police
man, the salesman and other occa
sional characters, besides taking
the part of Lawyer Collins and the
bailiff In the trial. Thus Andy was
his own attorney.
Supersensitive to the presence of
other when they are broadcast
ing, Amos 'n' Andy never permit
any one In their 12-by-12-foot win
don less studio. The only person
who sees them In action is the con
trol operator.
Not even M. H. Ayleswortn, pres
ident of the National Broadcasting
company and their "boss," has seen
tnem broadcast. Nor tneir wives,
for that matter.
However, here's how they do the
Job:
Each sits at the near corner or a
small table containing two micro
phones, one for emergencies.
When Andv comes to voice, cor-
rell's lips are within two Inches of
the microphone. Amos generally
stays two feet away, except when
he portrays another character. Then
he leans back In his chair, or even
leaps to his feet. The principal sound
effect is a telephone bell.
Sunday is their day of rest, but
on week days the comedians work
hard. Out of bed around u I
thev bo to their office and devote-
the time until noon to their mail.
Then comes the Job of writing
their sketch. Andy Is the typist.
He uses lie touch system and Is a
speeder.
Each script is four pages long.
No one assists them in the writing,
which continues until 3 or 4.
After that there is a recreation
period, and at 5:30 central time the
two are at WMAQ, Chicago, In
plenty of time for their appearance
at 6 oclock.
There Is no rehearsal. Five min
utes before the ro hour, they take
a glance through the days script.
Just as the theme song is about to
end, they enter their studio.
The announcer. Bill Hay, Is In
another room with the musicians.
Meanwhile he has been given the
opening and closing Introductions
for the sketch, which also are writ
ten by Amos "n" Andy. Credit an
nouncements are handled through
a different source.
While Hay's voice has become as
familiar as those of Amos 'n' Andy,
he has no other part in the con
duct of the program.

FOREIGN LEGION
RECRUITS GROW
Paris (IP) There la such a rush
of recruits to Join the French For
eign Legion that the war ministry
has decided to reorganize and en
large its regiments and for that pur
pose has increased the rank of its
commander, Colonel Rollet to gen
eral, at the same time setting a limit
on recruiting.
The Legion, which observed Its
100th anniversary a few weeks ago,
has been stormed by increasing
numbers of Germans, Poles, Czechs
and Russians since the economic de
pression swept the continent. Ger
mans now predominate, despite the
efforts of the Berlin government to
end German recruiting In the Le
gion. Officials at the Qual d Orsay ex
plained that there would be no reply
to German suggestions that the Le
gion be closed to German volunteers.
It was pointed out that the Legion
offers refuge to men ot all nation
alities, who accept an engagement
for seven years and that Germans
who appear at Stdi-Bel-Abbes would
be enlisted In proportion to the
ranks vacant.
By action of the war ministry, the
Legion Is now limited to four regi
ments of infantry and one regiment
of cavalry. All the regimental head
quarters have been moved to Sldl-bel-Abbes,
where all recruits will be
trained and then sent to the out
posts of French penetration. Gen
eral Rollet will assume command of
the entire Legion.

SEA EEL EGGS
AID PROFESSOR
IN BRAIN STUDY
Boston (IP) A collection of 100
eggs of the bdellostoma (sea eel) Is
being used at Boston University to
study the development of the Inter
nal structure of the human brain.
Dr. Leroy Conel, professor of an
atomy at B. U. school of medicine,
spent every day of last summer col
lecting the eggs by trawling with
1,200 hooks about two miles off the
coast of Monterey, Cal.
The eggs with their embryos rep
resent the lowest living vertebrates
in tlie evolution of the human brain,
says Dr. ConeL
The collection is the only one oi
Its kind In existence and is In great
er numbers than have ever been
found before. The only other collec
tion of this sort was In the poses -
sion of the late Dr. Bashford Dean.
curator of fishes In the Natural nis
torv museums. New York City. Dr.
Dean was presented with the collec
tion by a Chinese Ilsnerman an years
ago. The fisherman refused to tell
ho or where he collected the eggs
and on his death his secret perished.
Dr. Conel has devised a fishing
system of his own. He plans to go to
Nora Scotia in June to searcn rur
the eggs of Myxlne, the bdellostona's
first cousin.
Within the last year the purchas
ing price of tlie Shanghai dollar
has dropped over 40 per cent.
